How does it endanger marriage?

Quote From: sare4him

  

 I understand where you are coming from, but it is by ALL MEANS our business when it means that a God ordained marriage between a man and woman is endangered in our society.  There are probably ignorant people out there that truely ARE ignorant....but I do believe that twice as many,if not more, are totally eduated on the subject before giving a direct stand on such a serious issue that will affect our country and how our children are being raised. 

  Aids is an issue we are to be concerned with...... this is an ever growing crisis and dilima in the gay community..... the chance of contracting STDS are high as well. 

  Being "closed minded" and"ignorant" means not taking the time to understand the homesexual lifestyle, it does not apply to those who are concerned and desire to learn more about the homesexual lifestyle. 

This is something I do not understand. How does two men or two women loving one another or getting married to one another endanger heterosexual marriage? They are in no way hurting you, or putting your own marriage at risk, for if you are secure in your sexuality and love of your spouse, surely something as minute as someone else's sexual orientation would not be enough to destroy your union. Allowing same sex marriage and relationships does not decrease the rate of heterosexual marriage, nor is it likely to lead to more divorces among heterosexual couples.

I hope someone can explain this to me, because I just don't understand the connection.

Educate yourself before speaking! The fastest growing group of newly diagnosed AIDS patients is young, heterosexual women. You can not blame this on gays.

Are you against civil unions? Not marriage in a church, but a license where 2 consenting adults (gay  or straight) have legal rights? I was just curious. Also, someone (not sure who), said that marriage is for procreation purposes. Should people who can't have children be able to marry? Or straight couples who don't want to be "married" be able to have a civil union? I welcome responses from everyone.  

  

Thanks.
