Frank Rich’s column in Sunday’s Las Vegas Sun (“Same-sex marriage no longer shocks”) misses the point. Those of us who oppose gay marriage are not “homophobic,” “brain dead” or “spreading the poisons of bigotry.”
We simply refer to God’s word, which states (in Leviticus and again in Romans) that homosexuality is sinful behavior and does not merit approval from God. I believe the vast majority of those who oppose gay marriage feel the same way.
Our nation was founded more than 200 years ago on Christian principles, and the United States used to be a Christian nation. I, for one, will continue to oppose gay marriage not because gays are “bad” people, but because God’s word says homosexuality is wrong.
