Amen to Anna. Wake up and repent, America ! Read for starters how we are to love each other, in Christ when you read chapters 5-7 in 1 Corinthians which is in the New Testament, the new laws that Christ wants us to implement. Many times other than in Corinthians, does it speak of putting Christ first. You must accept Christ but you can only do this by repenting and turning away from all evil practices. It is up to each individual to read and find out how to live our lives. To continue, 1 Corinthians teaches us why do we exist? Read 1 Corinthians chapter 10:31-33 in Christ, Jay

I'm confused. What legal rights do gays not have. All they have to do is visit a lawyers office like the rest of us and give each other legal rights. Anybody can buy property in their names, tell the hospital who can and who can not visit, and citizens can't be deported even as criminals they serve time in this country. The doctor's office will give you a paper to give to whoever you chose the right to make decisions for you. I mean you can buy property, insurance, whatever, in someone elses name and present the papers to them. Of course, it takes effort on your part to do so. We single people do this all the time, of course, we pay the lawyers and doctors to do it for us as you pay for any service. Single people don't ask for special rights, so why do gays feel they need civil union or marriage rights to get what single people do all the time. Evangelicals I know follow the Bible too much to all of a sudden go for civil or marriage for gays. Just living together is moral sin for all

Shane, your opinion would be more palatable if you weren't so smug about it.

Anderson is out of touch. Most Evangelicals I know support civil unions for gay couples. It is, to those of us who can see the issue compassionately, the right thing to do to provide committed couples with legal rights that lets them share property, have a say in a medical crisis, and a whole raft of other things married couples take for granted. In time more people will hear the stories of gay partners forced out of hospital rooms because their partner's families don't want them there and the law doesn't recognize them as 'family,' or deported to countries where their lives are in danger because of their sexuality and the law won't grant them immunity because they can't be "married." Ultimately, people with Anderson's viewpoint will lose on this one. The tide has been shifting for a long time and it will continue to move towards more equitable treatment of gays. It's just sad that those who carry the name of Christ are some of the ones that are so blind to the injustice.
