Spark notes:
It could be a more Christ like thing to do to support a formal structure that reduces the promiscuity of those in the homosexual community, as it might well benefit our society and the individual homosexual more than an across the board condemnation of homosexual activity.
Full thing
Most all of us can agree that homosexual sex is an immoral sex-act. This gives us cause to not want the government to give a stamp of approval to that soul-destroying sex act. But what is it that we truly want to accomplish?
We want more people to come to Christ. Some of us believe that the best way to the top is to allow people to fall to the bottom and humbly submit, as the rest of us have, to the Lord. This is highly arguable. It could be that the best thing we can do is show the same love Christ showed to the poor and indigent on a societal level.
We would like our laws to reflect our values so that people can do well by following the law. Laws such as anti-drug and prostitution exist because they destroy those who do these things, but we should be willing to look at what is going on in society and support what will best help it, instead of holding onto ideological stances that offer no help.
We would like to see a reduction in the amount of immoral behavior. Laws such as anti-drug and prostitution exist because they destroy those who do these things, but we should always remember that those are the kind of people who Christ came for.
Supporting a formal structure that reduces the promiscuity of those in the homosexual community might well benefit our society and the individual homosexual, more than an across the board condemnation of homosexual activity.
We might not want to support the constitutional amendment, in an attempt to show the love of Christ to those who destroy themselves; then again we might feel that the best way to keep people from destroying themselves is to make sure the government does not endorse immoral behavior.
This is an honest difference of opinions that we should all take into account.
