Many things have been pointed out -- that don't affect you directly. Yet you have an opinion on them based on your beliefs.
I do not believe it is right. Since I don't, and I live in a free country, then we make laws about it. If I were in say Germany in the 1940's we might have resolved it by killing the different person. We aren't though, we are in the US in 2008. Our laws say that we vote to make laws based upon what "we the people" believe in.
These laws don't make us "right", nor do they make us "wrong". With my beliefs, we will be judged in the end by our maker. You may or may not have these same beliefs -- but for now we make laws based on the majorities belief.
Just a FYI. Slavery would have never ended, if the majority wouldn't have believed it was wrong. If someday the majority thinks homosexuality is OK, then the law will change. It still won't make it wrong or right, but it would make it the law.

Not trying to incite anything, but what about murder? It's against God's law to kill someone. Does that mean that soldiers are murderers? Were you a McCain supporter that believed we should stay in Iraq, knowing that many people would die at the hands of our soldiers? Does that mean you're voting for murder? I'm new to the politics forum, so I honestly don't know who you were pulling for or your stance on the war. Nor do I believe that wartime killings are necessarily murder, though there are some that do. But there are those of us that can separate God's rules when they come to matters of the state and those that don't. And there are those that ignore ONE to justify the OTHER.
