and yet gays still live together adn have a family adn live and love like they are a couple and no one can stop that but some people want a formal and a legal thing saying they are in love and will live for eachother forever and ever. and the benefits help straight couples so they can help gay couples too why shouldn't gays get the same rights? it is just like saying women can't vote or black people are not equal to white. can't we learn from our mistakes in the past?

Well I've heard it says in the Bible that gays are bad. I've also heard that it doesn't say that. Reading the Bible is on my to do list, so I guess I'll find out soon.

i have a friend at church who has read the bible once througha and is on her second turn at reading it. I mean yes we started out with adam and eve but just because the bible says something doesn't mean we actually follow it! look at the ten commandments.

lol, notice how sexist the 10 commandments are. no having sex with your neighbor's wife, but a gurl having sex with her neighbors husband is not a sin.

keep in mind that many different people say many different things about the Bible, because it is interpreted in many different ways.
it's all a matter of interpretation

TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbour's house; you shall not covet your neighbour's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbour's.'
notice, it says the neighbor is the guy and that the wife is mear property, thus going after the husband is not against this, only the wife.

Its all about interpretation, I was tought that THough shall not covet thy neighbors wife actualy means to respect the bond between two people and not attempt to betray either of them by breaking them up or interfereing negativly with their relationship. And it is a sin for either the man or the woman to have sex with other people while married as you are betraying the other, many things the bible says started equality, its all a matter of interpretation

that's true. because I like the older words better and yet my bible is new kinda and it says stuff that I actually understand but I don't like it cuz it doesn't have the old cool words so I guess the understanding of it can be different too and to make a law based on a religion is a bad idea anyway I think
