It is ironic how some the loudest opponents of gay marriage are those that have been divorced and remarried and are "christian right". This is quite evident in the men's bible study group at my church. Consider the following qoute from Jesus: Mark 10:11&12
"When a man divorces his wife to marry someone else, he commits adultery against her. And if a wife divorces her husband and remarries, she, too, commits adultery.
I don't hear the "christian right" proposing a ban on second marriages when either the man or wife were previously divorced. Isn't this state sponsored adultery according to Jesus ?
Again, this is more about homophobia than it is about christian morals. The heterosexual divorce rate (highest rate in the bible belt minus Nevada) is a greater threat on the American family.
As a White, Protestant, heterosexual, never been divorced happily married Rancher in Texas, I say HYPOCRISY.
Like Howard Dean I'm a fiscal conservative social progressive. We can not be republican light.
