So, since this site has said how gay marriage will destroy the sanctity of marriage, has it affected any of you yet? Was your marriage destroyed by gay people marrying? This site is just homophobic.
you’re combining two topics on marriage into one question that makes little sense.
1. how does gay marriage destroy the sanctity of marriage?
2. how does gay marriage effect you?
For starters, by redefining marriage to satisfy the wants of a small minority is destroying what marriage really is and its holiness. Marriage has become simply a piece of paper and an agreement between two people,which is exactly what it’s not. We need to ask, what is really marriage.
Marriage is a matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership for the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament.
Being a covenant, not merely a contract (aka piece of paper) it is a sacred agreement between God and the spouses. In this sense, government involvement destroys the sanctity of marriage, but that’s another story. Additionally, making light of marriage as “something one does as an adult” belittles its sanctity. Marriage is also a life-long agreement, not for a few years, so divorce also destroys the sanctity of marriage. Marriage is for procreation and education of offspring. This is where gay “marriage” comes to play. two men or two women cannot marry because they cannot procreate fundamentally. Their anatomy prohibits it. In this way, they cannot fulfill the duties of marriage and thus cannot marry. The definition then goes on to say that marriage between two baptized persons is sacramental, but that’s something else. So, gay “marriage” destroys the sanctity of marriage.
Has gay marriage effected me? Well, no, not me personally, but…

government backed gay “marriage” tramples all over freedom of religion. I’ll go so far as to abolish government marriage.
We don’t hate gay people.
