There should at least be an attempt to correctly characterize the other side's position in a civil discussion.
1. Marriage was ordained between a man and a woman from the beginning--with no ambiguity.
2. Sexual immorality is sex outside of marriage.
3. Sexual immorality is a sin.
4. Homosexual activity is outside of marriage (from 1)
5. Homosexual activity is a sin (from 2 and 3).
Then again, there are very few that want to have a discussion...and even less at AF.
Marriage is a social construct that can be changed. Just like at some point it was decided that monogamy was the proper way to do things, even though polygamy was the way it was done for most of history. Including pedophilia. If we can change that, we can change it so all consenting adults can get married, regardless of gender. Because they're adults. If you can't make a good argument for it being wrong, it shouldn't be wrong.
