recently i got into somewhat of a debate over the whole gay marriage thing. it's something i feel strongly about because while living in logan, i've met many gay people and have found that they are some of the greatest people i know. they are loving, caring, funny, complimentary, and all around good people.
a lot of people have questioned my church and their stance on the subject. however, if you do a little research, you will find that the lds religion is one of the most liberal churches when it comes to gay marriage. for example, the muslim religion finds homosexuality worthy of capital punishment. (not anything against the muslim religion, just pointing out that the lds church is rather left-winged on the subject).
i personally am not for or against gay marriage. seeing how i'm not gay, i don't think i have room to speak on the matter. however, i think everyone needs to at least consider the LGBTA point of view before criticizing these good people. here is a conservative argument for why gay marriage is actually not "evil". in fact it could be considered an American value.
these are just some links to help you make your own decision on your stance on gay marriage. i don't expect to sway people's thoughts on the matter. however, as an American i like to consider all points of view before making my own decisions on where i stand on controversial issues.
we are all americans. we are all people. and all should be treated as such.
