"gay marriage affects only gays; no one else". [G&M post]
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Recognizing gay marriage involves bearing false witness concerning what is wholesome, and natural, and good. (I'm not saying that all marriages are wholesome and good; I'm saying that the institution of marriage is a picture of something that can be wholesome and good, something instituted and blessed by God.) This false message will be taught to all Canadian children.
Moreover, gay activists will insist that, in the name of equality, every school child be taught the corrupting knowledge of sodomy -- and that it be taught as a perfectly natural and wholesome behaviour -- another falsehood -- and one that affects not only every school child, but every parent as well.
Thirdly, gay marriage supports the idea that a child can have two men or two women as parents -- a third falsehood.
Marriage is naturally rooted in human biology, not misdirected sexual orientations. The Church is to walk in love, and preach the truth in love, but love, if it is to be true, can never be divorced from what is true.
That is why society's recognition of gay marriage is ultimately an unkindness, a cruelty even, to all concerned.
And that is why thoughtful Christians walking in love will oppose "gay marriage".
