Regardless of your feelings...

In the are of the same sex marriage issue.

The issue before the Supreme Court is whether the California law Proposition 8 is legal.  In that can the people of California, or any other state for that matter, change or make marriage laws. The other thing the court is going to hear is whether or not the Defense of Marriage Act is legal or not. 

Personally, I don't think anybody, individual or governmental, has the right to tell anybody they cannot get married.  It should be a  union between people.  Please note that we are all people.  We are made of the same stuff. We bleed red when we're cut regardless of our skin color, religious beliefs, gender or anything else.  I've said it before, the government should have not say in marriage.  If 2 men or 2 women want to get married, why not?  I know some of you are going to say, "God forbids homosexuality", I think the wording bans sodomy.  I think the Old Testament bans men lying with men and women with women.  Though Jesus said "I did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it"  Meaning He came to be the ultimate sacrifice for all sinners.  Many preachers tell us that we don't live under the dispensation of the law, but the dispensation of grace.  Jesus was tolerant.  Did He stone the prostitute?  Did He shun the lepers?  Did He hate the tax collectors?  No, the only time Jesus, pardon the wording, but I think it fits well enough, threw a fit was when the money changers were in the temple grounds selling sacrificial animals and, probably, gouging those who needed them.

I said all that basically to say, it's none of my business if gays and lesbians want to get married. If the government has to be involved, then let the States figure it out.  By the way, recent polls that have come out say that more than 50% of the people polled are okay with gay marriage.  I know, I know that doesn't make it right.  But tell me how would gay marriage destroy or harm society?

I think the Supreme Court should rule that a state should have the right to determine who gets married and the Federal Government should keep their nose out of it, thereby ruling that proposition 8 is okay, but the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional.
