One group of Christians who I'd have sympathy for are the professional photographers who are asked to take on gay weddings.... These people would be right in the middle of the festivities, for a period of time.... Myself, I can't say I'd never do that but I wouldn't want to do it often.... I think photographers could offer some kind of well wishes and give an explanation and apology for not participating...? If the situation was reversed, would an opposite-sex couple want to have a gay photographer for their wedding? It'd be hard to capture the best moments if the photographer was squeamish about them...!? Right?
A Christian lawyer on a satellite TV program said gay couples in the USA are deliberately seeking out Christian businesses and asking for their services for gay weddings.... The gays are trying to provoke a reaction and they want the Christians to think about things, it seems.... And so far, the conservative Christians are still resisting.... In my opinion, I think Christians can approve of gay weddings up to the point of being happy that these gays aren't running around with numerous, sexual partners.... And these gays are trying to take their relationships seriously and to practise a certain amount of love and commitment.... They're not being frivolous, notwithstanding that they're with same-sex partners.... And if Christians can't give any approval, maybe they could give their "permission," which I believe is important....
If Christians refuse to accept gay marriage, doesn't it mean they'd rather force gays to be celibate all their lives or cause them to run around in secretive relationships...??? Does God want to force any of us to obey? Isn't it preferable to give people their freedom, when they're not causing direct harm to anyone else??? If two gays consent to marry each other, they're not causing harm to anyone.... Some people don't want to even observe two gays together...but there've been books written to reinforce our heterosexuality.... [It's not always easy to find these books but they're out there....] At any rate, I believe God wants to give us all a choice...and we have to give gays a choice, whether we agree with them or not....
