I know people who are gay and that is their personal choice. But at the same time it does not…Read More change the fact that it is unnatural ( show me 2 male or 2 females having sex that will produce offspring). For example if you put 50 "gay" male giraffes and 50 "gay" female giraffes together they will be extinct! The theory of evolution points out the fact its unnatural. Most importantly that it is clearly stated in the Bible that it is WRONG. God the Father and Jesus the son do love gays but that doesn't change the truth of the matter. If you want to define gay relationships then create a definition for it because it's not marriage. Since recorded history marriage has been between a man and woman period. The word smartphone is new to the day make up one for long term gay relationships. How about "gayrriage"?
