As someone who considers herself a Christian, but is offended by the religious right’s treatment of homosexuals, let me try to explain the opposition to gay marriage. Most people in the religious right believe that marriage is a religious term. Most people in the religious right also consider homosexuality a sin because there are passages in the bible condemning homosexuality. Therefore, they are offended by the use of a religious term like marriage being applied to something they consider a sin, like homosexuality. However, I have several problems with this. First of all, there is a separation of church and state in the United States. This means that there should be NO state sanctioned marriage. Gay or straight. This is because ‘marriage’ SHOULD be viewed as a purely religious term. A ‘civil union’ or ‘union’ should be recognized by the state and if a couple wants the union to be recognized by the church that should be a different subject entirely.
