Earlier this week, Liberal Governor Neil Abercrombie said that he will call a special legislative session to discuss the issue of gay marriage. It is kind of strange that with all the economic issues facing the state that this issue would get a special session to begin with. Having said that, I really encourage Hawaii residents to contact both your state representative and state senator and ask them not to support this.
Yes, I am a Christian and it goes against my views, but it is much bigger than that. I understand that others have different beliefs too but it is bigger than that also. To me it is real simple when you think of it like this. The issue is not gay marriage, it is separation of church and state. Marriage is an issue for the church and NOT the state. At my church, we believe that Marriage is a covenant act before God between a man and a woman. Therefore, two men or two women cannot get married. Now if another church believes differently, then we have to respect their beliefs as well.
Therefore, the government is totally violating it's place by even getting involved in this issue. The church has always defined marriage and it should stay that way.The State needs to stay out of this one altogether.
I ask you fellow Christians and Non-Christians to stand for what is right and call your legislators and ask them not to support this.
