"a child cant succeed without a male and female role model."
So I guess any child raised by a single mother or single father cannot succeed? How about children in foster care? I'm incredibly curious to know your opinion on whether or not a caring and loving, financially stable same-sex couple is considered less of a family than a "straight" couple with domestic and financial issues?
Christianity is not about bigotry. Christianity is about love and acceptance for all. Sexuality is not a conscious choice. It matters not to me what you've been raised to believe because I've been through it. Why would anybody choose to be discriminated against? Ridiculed? Beaten up? Looked down upon by society. I didn't choose this because I thought it would be fun one day. This is who I am, and any religion that says I can not be apart of it because of who I was born as is not a religion I choose to respect. Period.
Gratefully, that is not up to you. Again, transgendered people are usually born knowing they are the wrong biological sex. Their mentality on their gender does not add up to the body they were given. Taking steps to rectify the situation is usually life-saving as many transgendered people are suicidal in the body they feel is not theirs. Imagine waking up one day in someone else's body. You would not feel like yourself. You would feel like everything is wrong.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, you included, but the LGBT community is not interfering in your life, and you should not interfere in theirs.
With all the political correctness bull, "black" and "white" is really only used as slang anymore. In the media, they try to use more "correct" terminology.
Establishments like the one you mentioned change over time. Terminology dies out and is replaced as society progresses. Honestly, I don't care what you call it so long as same-sex and transgendered couples are granted equal rights. However, I still quite believe that "separate is not equal". Calling a partnership between same-sex and hetero couples something different means that the two are not equal, that one is valued below the other. Personally, I wish that "marriage" would be outlawed completely, but that is my unique opinion and I don't expect anybody else to agree with me.
