Roberta M. Helming - Not the gender that makes the marriage

In the letter titled “Despite laws, marriage is for a man, woman,” published Nov. 30, the writers states that he believes “true marriage is, has been and always will be the union of one man and one woman.”

Well, I believe same-sex marriages are a part of what defines a true marriage as well. I believe homosexuals should marry and that they are not immoral, perverted people. I don't believe they are corrupting the fiber of America or our children. They merely want to live a life of acceptance, free of the judgment, harassment and misunderstanding they receive.

As a Christian, I believe God has created all of us, and that includes homosexuals who are born into this world as homosexuals. If I worship a God who turns His back on the people He created, then I've been misguided in the placement of my faith.

When God created Adam and Eve and they reproduced, what act had to happen in order for their offspring to be “fruitful and multiply?” Incest. If you want to talk about immorality, let's talk about this and its negative ramifications, and leave the homosexuals alone, free to live happy, fulfilling lives.
