Why is endorsing gay marriage/civil unions bad?

You mean Section 1 in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States?

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Hmmm...

As an American, I believe that liberty is sacred... even if men abuse said liberty. In a free country... a man and woman who are divorcees and have no biblical right to marry can marry. In a free country... a person can purchase various forms of entertainment that might offend the moral and religious sensibilities of others. In a free country... a person can eat and drink as they choose. In a free country... a person can attend a biblical conservative church or a liberal church that accepts alternative lifestyles. A person can choose to attend a Mosque. A person can choose to join a coven. A person can choose to become Jewish and attend synagogue. In a free country... different races can marry. In a free country... different religions can marry.

I'm NOT for the gay lifestyle. I DO NOT endorce gay marriage. However... I am a champion of liberty. How do we balance true liberty... and our own personal religious beliefs? I think it's simple. We live what we believe. And allow other men to do the same. From there we join the great conversation about God and Christ and tell all who we believe Jesus truly was. He will draw His own.
