- Why don’t the same people who get up in arms about “gay marriage” also get upset about rampant divorce among heterosexuals? After all, Jesus said no divorce except on the ground of unchastity not once but twice, at least if you go with Matthew… Mark’s gospel (generally considered older and one might think more reliable) recounts Jesus saying no divorce and if you divorce and remarry you commit adultery which is one of those 10 Commandments some people want to keep sticking up everywhere… I wonder which version of Jesus’ “No Divorce” law they want lifted up?

I know, I know… they find the idea of “gay sex” is “icky” but find “Britney Spears sex”… well, let’s just say that they’ve been looking for it on The Internets. A lot.
So heterosexuals can continue to practice serial monogamy, or not, but no gay/lesbian couples should ever ever ever be able to have a public ceremony where they express their intentions to do their best to love each other for the rest of their lives.
Of course. That seems completely logical. Right?
