R-i-g-h-t---um... what SPECIFICALLY would you, as a business owner, have to do that you don't approve of for homosexual couples that you wouldn't have to do for any other customer?
Several times on these threads I have asked, Why does God consider homosexuality a sin? I still haven't received an answer.
And the Bible, for all its myriad faults, is usually translated into grammatical English: "Let him".
A concrete example from my state involved a golf course that was forced to provide the same discount to the domestic partner of a lesbian as they would to a spouse in a real marriage.
Let's see. Homoeroticism is irrational, contrary to order, contrary to our telos.
Justice was served in that case.
One's ethnicity or skin color does not involve (morally reprehensible) actions. That's the difference.
So you claim.
I insist that gay marriage represents the greatest form of legalized child abuse ever written into law, because social experiments in other countries that allow gay marriage have shown that adult children of gay parents suffer from high rates of depression, anxiety and divorce.
Because gay marriage is a child-endangerment issue and not a religious issue, we must gear our efforts towards saving the child from being raised in these families. When will the Proposition 8 people realize this? when will they realize gay marriage is a child-endangerment issue, and when will they begin to air commercials on TV and radio showing this?
Because Proposition 8 organizations are lacking in the creative endeavor with respect to the promotion of Proposition 8, then it will be the fault of the people running the Proposition efforts when the Proposition is defeated in November. It will not be the gay community's fault.
No, it was not. The legitimate role of government does not extend to forcing a golf course to cater to lesbians, despite their sense of entitlement.

Wrong. Men are women are meant to be together. Your inability to perceive the difference explains much, though.
"Legitimacy" of governments are in the eyes of the beholders. As it is a country club that would refuse services to minorities would face stiff fines, just as other enterprises would, thanks to the will of the people.
The idea anyone could "know" what is "meant to be" in such a way is laughable.
The best thing people can do in regard to such things is take care of themselves and when it comes to others mind their own business.
Katie, bar the door!
Next thing they'll make us let Jews in the swimming pool and bus black children into our schools!
And before you say "apples and oranges" let me say that treating any minority, based on race, religion or sexual preference, as somehow inferior is abhorrent.
You illustrate perfectly that this is a matter of civil rights.
Kyrie eleison!
If you are objecting to Gay Marriages because of your Biblical understanding, why are you not also fighting to outlaw other marriages that the bible forbids ?
Example can a Non Christian Marry a Christian Legally according to you ?
Exodus 34:10-16: "And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels ... behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee: But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God; Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods."
Deuteronomy 7:1-6 "Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly" (v. 3-4).
Why allow one but ban the other ?
Apparently, you have mistaken me for a practitioner of Judaism.
I believe that Homosexuality is a sinful and evil action aswell.
But you know what is said in the bible:
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." :3
