I could easily write an entire blog on the 1001 reasons why gay marriage is wrong. And while I think I'll save that task for another day, here is a great link http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/edn-f018.html providing well thought out evidence on why God did not intend same sex couples to be together.

In a nutshell, sometimes in life the answers to questions are actually far more simple than they appear. Gay marriage and homosexuality are perfect examples. The evidence is at the very beginning of the bible! As the Christian Answers link states "When God created a partner for Adam, He created Eve - not another Adam." In addition, "If God had intended the human race to be fulfilled through both heterosexual and homosexual marriage, He would have designed our bodies to allow reproduction through both means and made both means of sexual intercourse healthy and natural." Do proponents of gay marriage and homosexuality think that God just screwed up or forgot? As if He would have really said, "Darn it! I forgot to give Adam a choice. Perhaps he would have preferred another guy instead of a girl." That's, of course, absurd. God doesn't make mistakes. He knew exactly what he was doing. He wanted men to be with women. End of story.
Once again, we'll save this debate for another day. My extraordinary annoyance with President Obama is not his stance on gay marriage, but his cowardly and political refusal to even admit what his stance is because he is terrified of the political consequences. How long does it take for a position to "evolve"? Obama's position on gay marriage has allegedly been "evolving" for years now. Who does he thing he's fooling? His entire administration seems to be "coming out" (again, pardon the pun) in recent days with enthusiastic support of gay marriage. Why not their leader, President Obama? It's because he thinks that he can have his cake and eat it too.
Vice President Biden got the ball rolling this past weekend when on Meet the Press he went off on how great he thinks gay marriage is. It's likely that he did not have a green light from the administration to say the things he did but when one has "diarrhea of the mouth" disease, who is going to blame him? Biden's remarks obviously put Obama in an awkward position but this at least gives his administration the appearance of being "pro-gay" even if Obama himself remains quiet on the issue allowing his position to continue to evolve.
Do you want to know when Obama's position on gay marriage will stop evolving? I'll tell you. It will stop evolving at the end of January, 2013 on the day of the next presidential inauguration (the exact date of the inauguration has not yet been announced as January 20 falls on a Sunday and the Martin Luther King holiday is the following day). If Obama is reelected he will be jumping up and down on the Capitol steps waving a rainbow flag and promising to serve as the officiant himself for a massive national gay marriage holiday that he just proclaimed. He will no longer need to worry about the political repercussions and the true Obama can then be revealed.
Similarly, if Obama is defeated, he will not longer have any reason to cower under the bed. He'll be free to jump up and down on his bed back in Chicago proudly saying that his position on gay marriage has finally evolved fully and he is now the new champion of the gay rights movement.
Again, no one on the earth, perhaps other than the pope and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, disagrees with gay marriage more than I do. But that isn't my point today. What truly sickens me most is Obama's refusal to admit that he is in support of gay marriage. He is afraid of losing votes in swing states like North Carolina and Pennsylvania. All of America should be furious at Obama for this, including the national gay rights organizations that have been begging Obama to jump on their bandwagon since the day he took office.
Whether you believe that gay marriage is wrong or you believe that it is right is irrelevant for the purposes of today's blog. The fact remains for all Americans that our country deserves far better than a self-serving, politically motivated coward as its leader. President Barack Obama must be defeated in his quest for re-election.
