What I Have to Say about That…
President Barack Obama ended up in the middle of an unlikely controversy this morning — the debate over Miss California’s position on gay marriage.
At a press conference addressing Carrie Prejean’s disputed title in the Miss USA competition, pageant owner Donald Trump compared Prejean’s stated views on gay marriage to Obama’s. (Politico: link)
There is plenty I don’t know about marriage. But I will say this; the “sanctity” of my marriage does not come from whom is allowed (or not allowed) to wed. In fact I find Ashly Madison far more offensive than any of the same sex debate. I do find it funny that we (evangelicals) spend so much energy debating same sex marriage but that according to a 1999 study (reported by the Dallas Morning News) divorce rated higher amongst Christians than non-Christians. The sanctity of my marriage comes from a vow/commitment I made before God NOT whether the US Government says it was OK. ~PAK
