And then there’s Louisiana.
Indiana and Arkansas may have backed down on their bills, but the Louisiana legislature has before it the “Marriage and Conscience Act,” which is explicitly, sweepingly designed to exclude and stigmatize same-sex couples. Under the Act, employers could still deny same-sex spouses marriage benefits; licensed professionals could refuse services to same-sex couples; state contractors could refuse to hire gays and lesbians; and even state officials—such as judges—could refuse official recognition to same-sex marriages.
Please God, let reason prevail, and let the courts back out of denying loving couples the right to express their union in a civil, legal way.
I have deep, deep reservations about people who seriously step in the way of homosexual marriage. I mean, REALLY, how does that affect your life?
I am a devout Christian, and Jesus Christ my savior didn't say one single thing about homosexuality.

I can tell you how it affects people's lives. This is not something no one talks about, it is something that is talked about and shoved in people's faces daily. Not everyone will never accept this while others will embrace it. But it is still daily in the news, posts, etc. that people read or see. The argument that it does not affect people's lives is incorrect because it does. Everyday some business or individuals are bending over backwards to change their format to include this lifestyle. These are just more tactics to enforce acceptance upon the public when many individuals and some countries do not believe in this lifestyle.
Jesus Christ considered homosexuality an abomination but he loves homosexuals because their are his children though they are sinners in his eyes.
Leviticus 18:22 - You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination. (he might have not used the word homosexuality but he did make it clear how he felt about it)

Not even the Bible claims that Jesus wrote Leviticus. IIRC, that book is attributed to Moses.
JeannaT is right: Jesus never felt compelled to comment on homosexuality, perhaps because it wasn't even a concept in His day. But there was certainly homosexual behavior and He apparently didn't think the behavior required comment either.
If you think my husband and I have such a daily impact on you, have you ever thought to view the issue through our eyes? Imagine how we and our children and grandchildren are affected by the relentless intolerance from some (certainly not all) Christians!
^^^Or talk back to your parents! Especially while eating pork or shellfish!
The idea that public servants should be allowed to decide which members of the public they will serve would outrage everyone in any other context! (Though I'd consider it if it also meant that my husband and I could choose whether to pay taxes. (j/k))
It will cease being something talked about every day when these people are granted equal rights. It is constantly at the forefront because it's a civil rights issue that needs to be addressed. It would be a non issue if it were legal and discrimination weren't going on.I can tell you how it affects people's lives.

Change their format how? Are there special gay wedding cakes? Gay pizzas? It's no different than a heterosexual person or couple.
Bible quotes don't sway me. I can quote it, too. Ugly, awful things. I couldn't care less about what a book that condones infanticide, murder, spousal abuse, etc has to say about morality.
It's all part of The Gay Agenda! First, they come for your pizzas. Tomorrow, the world!Oh no! If I get a gay pizza, how will I know? What if we all turn gay! :shame:
