I don't think that sin and pursuing happiness are not necessarily the same thing.
From Dan Savage
Straight couples don't have to be monogamous to be married or married to be monogamous. Monogamy no more defines marriage than the presence of children does. Monogamy isn't compulsory and its absence doesn't invalidate a marriage.
Children have a right to some stability and constancy from the adults in their lives.
Sometimes I talk to religious people about my column or what I do, and I ask them to, you know, read 20 or 30 of them and then come tell me that the message at the heart of every column isn't, 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' In every possible sense.
A huge part of what animates homophobia among young people is paranoia and fear of their own capacity to be gay themselves.
The successes of the LGBT civil rights movement and the more prominent role openly gay people are playing in the public eye has actually turned up the temperature in middle schools and high schools for queer kids.
To be gay is nothing to be proud of. It's in how you are gay that you have something to be proud of, considering the obstacles placed in your path if you are gay.
I believe it's in the best interests of a child to be in a stable environment.
But it doesn't matter what you're doing, it matters how you're doing it.
How can you tell somebody whose is pursuing happiness that they're somehow not American when that was the very first promise that America made?
