Not that I'm praising Republicans--most of our politicians seem to be failing--but to be fair, most of the Republicans in congress are on the opposite side from the Dems on this one.

You point out, rightly, that the Democrats are gradually, one by one, coming out in favor of homosexual marriage.  It was down to six, and you pointed out that this was four less than the "ten righteous men" that Abraham bargained for.  Now it's down to four Democrats resisting legalization of gay marriage.  It's pathetic, I agree.  But those Repubs are still there!

This is a hard one for me.  I have had homosexual friends in the past (none now) and I believe they are often born that way.  they have a hard life, being this way, if they resist.  But we have to say that gay marriage is NOT the answer God would want.  He probably wants them to resist their gay nature, become more than that, a very hard path.  He has called them to heroism.  
He has called them to austerity.  I have no right to comment, as I don't share that temptation.  But I just know God does not want "gay marriage", if we consult the Bible.  What a mess our national life has become.  We desperately need the Lord.
