Right, I'm back. I needed time away from the wind-up artist because I'm rattled enough tonight as it is.

I'm not saying gays should not be together. I'm not against gays having their own 'commitment ceremonies' or whatever they're called (pardon my ignorance on these matters, new names are seemingly brought out every day). What I object to is a marriage between 2 same-sex people in a church. Jesus rightly never said anything nasty about gays and to the best of my knowledge neither have I. It's just the way I see marriage, yeah, maybe there is a religious aspect to it. Don't tell me I need to keep religion out of it because that is my right to do so and as you all know, I have never told anyone they MUST believe or they MUST to things the Christian way. I have never preached on here, neither have I tried to convert anyone.

In my opinion marriage is something given to us from God. If you want to disbelieve or diagree with that then fine, that's your right, just don't say "you're wrong".

I'm not going to campaign the ensure marriage for gays is outlawed, I'm not that type. I'm just upholding my views. I feel more comfortable with the traditional family unit of a mother and a father.

PS Apologies if my attitude earlier offended anyone.
