The very origins of marriage came from God himself. Who are we as humans to try to change an institution that God created. When God created Woman it was as a companion for Man. God says to Adam and Eve in Genesis 1:28 "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it" meaning that the man and woman are to reproduce in order to fill and to subdue the earth. Again in the second account of creation in the second chapter of Genesis, God was trying to find a companion for Man, therefore he brought forth all of the birds of the air and the beasts of the field, however it was not until he made Woman that a perfect companion was found for him. Why do you think it is that humans love to pets, animals were meant to be companions for men. Some worked better than others, for instance one sees many more pet dogs than pet hyenas, however they were all working toward the same goal until finally God found Man's perfect match, and that was Woman. Genesis 2:23-24 states, "Then the man said 'This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called Woman, for out of Man this one was taken.' Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh."

I do not want anyone to get me wrong here, I am not some redneck radical conservative who goes out queer beating for sport. I am simply making a statement that Woman was made for Man and men are not supposed to have sexual relations with each other. Neither are women supposed to have sexual relations with each other. All one has to do is look at the anatomy of a man and a woman they literally do fit together. Leviticus 18:22 says "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." This quote was spoken to Moses therefore God was speaking as if they were directly to Moses for him to not lie with a man as with a woman which is a blatant call against homosexuality.

If one has thoughts of having sexual relations with a member of their same sex and acts upon them they have committed sin against the Lord. One may say, well they were just born that way, but by the same token does that mean a sociopath who murdered 17 people is not a sinner because he was born that way. Every person who has thoughts of sinning does not have to act upon them, if one only finds members of their same sex attractive to them, then they need to rid themselves of sexual thoughts and realize the Lord is more important. Every person on the face of the earth is a sinner, and the only way any of us are ever making it to Heaven is by the grace of Jesus Christ, however, that does not by any means justify condoning sinful behavior. None of us are perfect, but the least we can do is try to better ourselves and try to lead others to Christ by example.

Even if you are not a Christian, first of all I pray that you will find Christ before it is too late for you, but secondly marriage is the conjoining of a man and a woman together in one flesh. A man and a woman are meant to be the ones that have sex together. Heterosexual sex produces children and homosexual sex does not. If the day comes when homosexuality becomes so widely accepted it outnumbers heterosexuality, the day will come when the human race sees the beginning of its own end. That is simple natural selection. A species that will not reproduce will not survive.

To conclude I pray that you all will find Christ and realize the only way to get to Heaven is through Him. We are all sinners and the only way to eternal life is through the grace of Christ Jesus. However, we should not be condoning sinful behavior by allowing the marriage of two men or two women. This is not the way God intended things to be and it is simply unnatural.
