Like heterosexuals, many lbian, gay, and bisexual people want to form stable, long-lastg relatnships and many of them do.
In fact, rearchers have found that the majory of lbian, and gay, adults are mted relatnships and many upl have been together 10 or more years.
Empiril rearch also shows that lbian and gay upl have levels of relatnship satisfactn siar to or higher than those of heterosexual upl. The fai and iends of lbian and gay upl who are nied marriage rights may also experience negative physil and mental health nsequenc siar to those experienced by their loved on.

We uld also have other bat about what the Bible do and don’t mean, but I thk what boils down to is that gay people should al wh the same standards as straight people. And when straight people start upholdg biblil law civic culture, then maybe gay people should nsir , but not until then.
To have those people set up a married kd of liftyle – often raisg kids, by the way; many gay upl are raisg kids – outsi of marriage sends all the wrong cultural signals.
The big cultural problem wh the fay Ameri is not that gay people want to get married – ’s that straight people are not gettg married or not stayg married.

But all gay people are askg for now is the one thg that we lack but that all straight people already have – they don’t need to give themselv anythg more. I’ve often said, if I believed that gay marriage would wreck straight marriage then I’d be agast jt as if I thought that givg women the vote would wreck mocracy so that no one’s vote mattered, I’d be agast that, too.
