“Forget for the moment the rainbow flags and pink triangles. Gay pride is not about being homosexual; it’s about the integrity and courage it takes to be honest with yourself and your loved ones. It’s about spending life with whomever you want and not worrying what the government or the neighbors think. Let’s protect that truth, not some rigid view of sexual orientation or marriage. Keep gay marriage out of your church if you like, but if you value monogamy as I do, give me an alternative that doesn’t involve dishonesty or a life of loneliness. Many upstanding gay citizens yearn for recognition of their loving, committed relationships. Unless you enjoy being lied to and are ready to send your gay friends and family on a Trail of Queers to Massachusetts or Canada- where gay marriage is legal- then consider letting them live as they wish.”
