The Debate is Over — Marriage

10.06.2005

Just a short addendum to my "Debate is Over" topic….this time on queer marriage.  For me, there are two parts to marriage:  the religious/spiritual component and the legal/civil component.

As for the religious/spiritual part, well God can bless any couple God chooses to bless.  Falwell can’t stop God, Dobson can’t stop God, the Vatican can’t stop God.  If God chooses to bless a Holy Union service held in a bar, no one can stop that.  So the religious/spiritual question is moot.

As for the legal/civil part of marriage, I pay taxes too and am entitled to the same privileges and benefits of any other taxpayer.  So the legal question is moot.

Just a Queer Christian perspective.  Whew, one more debate over!
