Ten Reasons Why Christians Should Support Same-Sex Marriage
By Vaughn Roste
(The son of two Lutheran pastors, Vaughn Roste has since worshipped and worked in Episcopalian and Presbyterian Churches, but his current employment is in a United Church. Holding degrees in theology and music from two different church institutions, he currently freelances as a writer and musician in Edmonton.)


Having attended several debates about same-sex marriage thus far, it is still my firm conviction that there has yet to be proposed a single reason why same-sex marriage is bad for the country.
Most of the reasons proposed against same-sex marriage are in fact arguments against homosexuality in general, which is a useless argument to be had in the first place (as if one chooses between homo- or heterosexuality based on logic). While I can understand the opposition on religious grounds, I cannot understand why those same people cannot appreciate that other religious people might legitimately disagree with them. It seems shocking to some that Christians could support same-sex marriage, yet there has been a faithful contingent of religious pro-same-sex marriage supporters at every rally or event (for or against) that I have attended thus far. I thought it may be timely to explain how some Christians can do this - and further, why all Christians should. Opposition to same-sex marriage need not be labelled religious, as the Christian camp is by no means united on this matter. Naturally, I can only speak from the perspective of my own religion, Christianity, but I thought I would offer my own contribution to the debate: ten reasons why Christians should support same-sex marriage.


1. Because Christians support equal rights for all citizens (indeed, all humans). The "special rights" argument is patently false - this is obviously a clear case of all citizens being treated exactly equally with respect to all of the societal approbations that are associated with marriage: inheritance, taxation, hospital visitation rights etc. What is special about gays and lesbians being granted the same rights as heterosexual couples already have?

2. Because Christians have long benefited from the freedom of religion in this country, and would want to continue to respect that in the future. Even if you personally don't approve of same-sex marriage, you might at least recognize that there are several other denominations who are in favour of same-sex marriage: the Society of Friends, Metropolitan Community Church, Lambda Christian Church, and the United Church of Christ are only four examples. To deny any religious groups' belief to support/celebrate same-sex marriage violates a belief in the freedom of religion for all.

3. Because modern Christians realize that marriage has nothing to do with procreation. Often a primary objection to same-sex marriages is that they cannot bear children. Not only is this narrow-minded and untrue (many creative solutions are available to the same-sex couple that desires to raise children), it's a double-standard. No one tests heterosexuals for their fertility or desire to raise children before determining their suitability for marriage - on the contrary, churches today regularly marry couples known to be infertile (post-menopausal women being only one example) Inasmuch as any heterosexual couple that has remained childless has been recognized as married by the church, it is hypocritical to resort to this fallacious logic in the same-sex marriage debate.

4. Because Christians should support marriage in all of its forms. Some claim that same-sex marriage is an attack on family values, but this is incorrect. On the contrary, it is an attempt by GLBT people to be legally recognized as having families in the first place. It is a non sequitur to claim that only the "traditional" nuclear family model is legitimate when less than half of American families conform to this model currently anyways. Same-sex marriage can be seen as enhancing and strengthening marriage instead of the opposite.

5. Because Christians realize that the Church has been discriminatory in the past and would seek amends for that. Formerly the Church denigrated "homosexual promiscuity" without making available any other option (a recognized covenanted relationship). The Christian support of same-sex marriage thus can end a hypocritical position of the Church and give the Church more relevance to contemporary society. Many agree that Christians should be opposed to discrimination in any form. The "have-your-relationships-but-don't-call-it-marriage" argument is specious as it promotes a South African-type apartheid: the "same water coming from different fountains" is not equal. As the Supreme Court has decided "separate but equal" is not.

6. Because Christians realize that marriage has never been a static institution, and therefore there is no reason that it should be now. From its early origin as a property exchange, to a method of ensuring peace between nations, to being recognized as a church function only in the thirteenth century, to the recent questioning of the "God-given" roles for men and women, the institution of marriage has always been in a state of flux. Things once illegal, such as miscegenation and the marriage of the mentally handicapped, are now permitted. To arbitrarily decide that now marriage has evolved as far as it should according to an 1960's definition is to deny any possible subsequent influence of the Holy Spirit in our world.

7. Because Christians support the separation of Church and State. Hardly anyone believes these days that the Church should define the law in this country - this position is ignorant of the centuries of problems that that historical situation created. In accordance with the freedom of religion in America, modern Christians realize that the insertion of the Christian God into government only spells trouble for those who (everyone agrees) have the right NOT to believe in that God. Christians do not want their denomination to dictate law for the rest of the country.

8. Because Christians have long known that the Church should not determine legal policy. Further to the above, Christians universally believe in following one's own conscience, even when that entails opposing the official policy of one's church. Catholics believe that each person has a solemn moral obligation to adhere to the dictates of his or her conscience (even if that conscience is erroneous), over and above the dictates of the Church. As Cardinal Ratzinger has written: "Only the absoluteness of conscience is the antithesis to tyranny." Thus for Catholics convicted that all people should be treated equally and that freedom of religion should be respected as above, not to promote the legalisation of same-sex marriages is sinful. Within Protestantism the case is even easier, as the entire tradition is ultimately based upon an individual acting according to the dictates of his conscience by nailing up 95 thesis to the wall of a Wittenberg church. To stand up and challenge the dominant authority is a practice firmly rooted and celebrated in Protestant tradition. Even those opposed to homosexuality in general can logically support same-sex marriage as a decidedly "lesser evil" than the alternative.

9. Because Christians realize that to hold up marriage as for heterosexuals only is not only discriminatory, it also borders on idolatry. Just as the Pharisees in Jesus' day were maligned for counting their dill seeds while neglecting justice and mercy (Mathew 23:23), Christians today realize that marriage was created for humankind, not the opposite. Jesus' words in Mark 2:27 are an interesting parallel to the contemporary situation. Marriage is a tool for developing honest, voluntary, long-lasting and mutually accountable relationships between two people, and Christians realize that that is a laudable goal for two people of any gender and seek to promote that.

10. Because Christians believe in the supremacy of God, not the supremacy of government. Even those who consider homosexual behaviour to be sinful can believe in the equality of all people under the government. Christians realize that many sins are not covered by the Criminal Code, nor should they be, as they are more matters of individual conscience. Ultimately, Christians can take solace in the fact that all will be judged fairly before God, and leave it to God to do the judging. In the meantime, one can work toward the most equitable society possible on this earth: this is what Jesus would have us do.

In yet another reason, educated Christians are also aware of the inherent difficulties in defining marriage as the exclusive union of one man and one woman: Olympic Committees and lawmakers alike realize the surprising impossibility of legally defining the terms "man" and "woman." True, for the majority of the population these things are self-evident, but a universal law applying to all Americans must also take into account the 1 in 1,000 babies that are born intersexed (with anatomical, hormonal, or chromosomal differences that render them unable to conclusively determine a child's gender, let alone subsequent questions of orientation). The modern world is painfully beginning to realize that nature does not boil down into binary categories nearly as simply as we might like it to. The artificial dichotomy on sex and gender will be one of the final barriers to post-modern thinking to be lifted. If Christians are to seek justice in the world for all people this needs to include transgender individuals and intersexed people as well.

Instead of appearing reluctant or divided, the Christian church should be among the leaders in taking a progressive and prophetic stance in this matter. By doing this not only would the Church be thus opening itself up to the moving of the Holy Spirit in the world, but this would also enable it to regain a sense of relevancy to contemporary society. It is only through supporting same-sex marriage that the Christian Church will be able to live up to its own standard of communicating the unconditional love of God and the radical inclusiveness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the entire world.



What you can do:

-Write to homophobic leaders of faith communities in your area, denouncing faith-based bigotry.
-If your faith community is homophobic, withhold your financial support. Instead of dropping money in the collection plate, leave a note explaining your position.
-Support organizations and faith communities that embrace and celebrate equal rights for all God's children.
-California voters, Vote NO on Prop 8!

...and the Safeway Foundation (www.safewayfoundation.org) is once again gearing up for battle.

If you're a Safeway/Vons/Randall's/Tom Thumb/Genaurdi's customer you're probably familiar with the drill... all during the month of October we'll be soliciting donations at the checkstand.
In this difficult economy, we are truly grateful that you give whatever you can... even your SPARE CHANGE makes a difference!
Last year with your help, we raised $16.7 Million dollars for breast cancer charities.

OH!! And, this year you'll see many store employees wearing pink Safeway Foundation t-shirts. A fabulous fashion statement, but also know that these employees have made a MINIMUM $20 donation to the foundation.

Also, look for "Pink Ribbon" items on the aisles, as those distributors have pledged to donate a portion of their proceeds as well.

Thanks y'all... you ROCK!

-Kay




BREAST CANCER RESEARCH AND AWARENESS PROGRAMS:

Over the past seven years, we have raised more
than $40 million – almost $17 million in 2007
alone – for medical research to improve detection
and treatment of breast cancer, which affects
one of every six women. The funds we raised last
year were distributed to more than a dozen of
the leading, most innovative research institutions
in North America, including the Fred Hutchinson
Cancer Center in Seattle, the Kimmel Cancer
Center at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore,
the Carol Franc Buck Breast Cancer Center at the
University of California, San Francisco and the
Revlon Women's Cancer Research Program
at UCLA.
Last October, as part of a month-long,
multimedia public service campaign reaching
millions of women, we teamed up with
Grammy- and Oscar-winning singer and
songwriter Melissa Etheridge, a breast cancer
survivor, to communicate the importance of early
detection through self examinations and annual
mammograms. Across our operating areas, we
also sponsored 10 events in the Susan G. Komen
Race for the Cure series. In addition, we funded
mobile mammography screening units that
brought free or low-cost digital mammograms to
women in rural and low-income neighborhoods
in five states.
Once again, all proceeds from the sale of Melissa's cd "The Awakening" will be donated as well.

Sundays are generally very full days for me. Between church and work, it's a very long day... but still my favorite day of the week, hands down.

A typical Sunday looks something like this:
I start my day with the breakfast of champions: coffee, a cigarette, and the NYT crossword puzzle. Then it's off for worship & fellowship at the fabulous CCC United Church of Christ  in Benicia. From there, it's straight to work at my ultra glam job.

Yesterday, however, was not a typical Sunday.

I awoke to a monster migraine and opted to skip "breakfast" and sleep an extra couple of hours in hopes of chasing away my headache in time for church.
When that proved unsuccessful, I was faced with a decision: go to church and call in sick to work, OR skip church and continue sleeping in hopes of pulling myself together enough to work my shift.
I chose the latter. Which may have been a mistake.

I managed to sleep away the migraine, but on the way to work, this happened:

Yes, that's my car. No, the chain-link is NOT a factory authorized accessory.

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking I was FLYING over Bailey Road, yapping on my cell phone, and chain-smoking. Well, sure, maybe any other day... but NOT yesterday.

Yesterday, I was actually running ahead of schedule, so I was puttering along at a respectable pace. Reception is pretty spotty driving thru the hills, so no phone. And, I was on my way to work... so no cigarette until I reach the top of the hill, leaving me time to finish my smoke just as I'm walking across the parking lot at work. (Those of you with a nicotine habit will understand that reasoning).

So, I'm puttering along the windy two-lane backroad, minding my own business and thinking happy work thoughts (or not) when this pot-head kid in his mommy's SUV takes the blind curve at approximately 60mph. I swerve right to avoid hitting him head-on (as he's taking up 4 feet of MY lane) and almost succeed. He barely kisses my driver's side door, but clips my side mirror sending broken glass through my open window. My car swerves and skids toward the right side of the road (and the 15' drop) so a jerk the wheel hard-left, avoid an oncoming Honda, and slam into the chain-link fence on the opposite side of the road.

Pot-head kid rolled the SUV and left in an ambulance with a possible concussion. I took the night off work (yep, lost a day's pay anyway) and spent the afternoon picking teeny little bits of glass out of my wrist, face, and neck. GOOD TIMES!

Believe it or not, I'm actually counting the events of the last 24 hours as a blessing. 
Noone was seriously hurt, the damage to my car (and my person) could have been MUCH worse, and I got to spend the evening at home with my kid.

All in all, I'm gonna say the glass is half-full.

How was your weekend?

Dear amazingly appealing yet completely off-limits friend,

While I understand that you are unaware of the depth of my obsession with feelings for you, I would really appreciate it if you would just knock it off.

Please stop being so bloody brilliant, funny, and cute... and please stop inviting me to do stuff that only makes you seem even more wonderful and fantastic. Perhaps, if you stopped hugging me so tight and maybe tried being a bitch once in a while.........?
And, that thing you do, where you push your hair back over your ear? Yeah, that... you've really got to stop doing that, or your wife is going to break me in half. Just sayin'...

Oh, while you're at it, please stop smelling so good.
Maybe you could stop bathing or abandon personal hygiene in general?

That'd be great, thanks.

Your pal,

Me

...but from time to time, I can be kind of a douche. When I realize what an ass I've been, I feel about thiiiiis big:

 

Case in point:

I've worked with the public my entire adult life. Currently, I'm a produce clerk for a national chain of supermarkets. At its most glamorous, it's a paycheck. (Ingredients for life, indeed).
Customer service is HUGE part of my job. So, each day, I go to work and put on my game-face. I stow any personal snarkiness at the door, smile my most wholesome smile, and dole out the sincerest of pleasantries for nine hours per day. Yeah, I'm a people-person. (Wuh? Yeah, well, you guys only see me when I'm off the clock). 

There's a young man who shops my store on a regular basis. Snap judgement: pasty white guy with dreds, granny-glasses, sort of a cross between John Lennon and the bass player from Betty... only slightly emaciated. Guy buys a lotta tofu, what can I say?

I've greeted this man with a dazzling smile and a "hi, how's it goin'?" twice a week for a little over two years now. And in turn, my retail charm has been met with a semi-nod as acknowledgement. That's right, not a single word.
No, really, until a couple of days ago, I'd never heard him speak. I thought he might be deaf... but then he started coming in with his girlfriend and I'd see them kind of murmuring back and forth to eachother.

So, in my head, I'd formed the opinion that he is just an asshole. ("Well excuuuuuse me Mr-too-cool-to-speak-to-a-lowly-grocery-store-clerk! Yanno what? You've got bad hair! I hope you go bald!") Yeah, the voices in my head are really mature.

Anywhoooo... this week SnobbyTofuMan (it's my pet-name for him) comes thru my department, alone.
He's buying flowers and organic veggies (the voices in my head roll their eyes... "freakin' hippy!")
Clutching a pair of organic potatoes, a lost look on his face, he bypasses three other clerks and walks up to me. ("oh suuuuure, now that you need help you wanna talk to me? well GAME ON motherf**ker!")
**retail-smile**  "hey, what's up?"
He speaks.

And as he's speaking, I'm shrinking down into my shoes... melting away into nothingness. And the voices in my head that were so ready to talk shit? As I am trying my best not to begin weeping, they are silent.
This man, whom I don't know at all, is a stutterer. He has a pronounced stammer when he speaks. One of several speech impediments I struggled with as a child. I remember the teasing and the years of speech therapy like it was just yesterday.

So, it turns out TofuMan isn't really an asshole... *I* am.

So, let's review, shall we?

 

Prayers, please.

A funny thing happened at work today.  Not like "ha ha" funny, more like "ah-hah" funny.
Anyway, this funny thing seriously made me question my sexuality for a minute. Hmm... more like 45 minutes, really, but... nevermind.

(Note: I should probably explain that I've been in a funk lately. I ended a relationship a few weeks ago and the shit-storm of passive-aggressive/stalkerish/bottomless-pit-of-need fall-out has left me with an "I am SO done with women" kinda mentality.)

So, there's this guy who comes into my store on regular basis to do his grocery shopping. He goes out of his way to say hello and make small-talk... nice guy. Not unattractive but non-threatening in a less-than-hyper-masculine sorta way... meh, kind of a geek, but I like geeks... um, what was I saying? Oh, so, he comes through my department tonight and we're chatting, like we do. "Blah blah gas prices blah blah salmonella and tomatoes blah blah..." This goes on for a minute or two, then the conversation takes an unexpected turn and I realize he's flirting with me. (Y'all have seen me right? I'm kinda dykey lookin'... like, way ghey, yes?)  But what's really tripping me out is I realize I'm flirting back... which wouldn't be that big a deal (I flirt with lotsa folks, male and female alike) but I'm kinda meaning it while it's happening. (wtf?)  And the thought is going thru my head that not only would I totally love to corrupt this man, in fact, I should corrupt this man. (WTF?!)
This uncharacteristically heterosexual repartee ends with me getting paged to the checkstands and rushing off with my head spinning.

Seriously... it kinda fucked with my head for a bit. I found myself formulating a plan of attack. I toyed with the idea of surrendering my Lesbian Mafia membership card... maybe even canceling my subscription to Curve magazine. I imagined "coming out" to my mother... as heterosexual.
"Why not? Women are just fucked up and honestly, I have no desire to ever hook up with one again. In fact, I can't even remember why I'm gay..."

My existential crisis is interrupted by this 6' tall fresh-from-the-gym Jennifer Azzi-look-alike girl-jock. She inquires as to the quality of our summer peaches... I cut her a sample. She tastes. She smiles. She says, "that's sooo good. mmm... sweet!" And in that moment ((DING!DING!DING!)) I remember exactly why I'm a lesbian. heh.

So, how was your week?

 

 

Note: For those of you who don't know, Jennifer Azzi is a former collegiate and professional basketball player, and an Olympic gold-medalist. Oh, and she's HAWT!

Y'all have heard that joke, right?

Q: What does a lesbian bring along on the second date?
A: A U-Haul and a check for first/last month's rent. (rimshot)



It's a terrible joke, really... it makes no sense. No self-respecting lesbian would rent a U-Haul. We're dykes... we all have at least a half-dozen softball/rugby buddies who own pick-up trucks... why would we throw money away renting a truck when we can accomplish the same task for the price of pizza and a few cases of beer??
It's a terrible joke, yes, but it's a cliche for a reason. Something about settling down, shopping at IKEA, and adopting homeless animals really appeals to women who are lesbionic. I dunno how it started. I dunno who wrote the rules. But(stereo)typically, lesbians are BIG on nesting. Swear.

True story:
I attended a housewarming party this weekend for my um...uh... huh. For my girlfriend... (Is that even the right word? We're not just dating, but we're not getting married, either, so... yeah). Yes, girlfriend, definitely... my girlfriend. Okay. What was I saying now? Her housewarming... right! So, it was a party to warm/bless her new place... not my place, not our place, her place... and it's a potluck (which is also a lesbian thing, but I'll save that for another blog). It was a nice party. Great food, pleasant conversation, stellar company. Many of the women in attendance were friends of mine, indeed, I consider them family... I love them, very much.

So, what's the problem, Kay? Sounds like you had a good time...
(I did, it was a lovely evening... oh! and there was this jalapeno jelly thing that was TO DIE FOR... but that's not the point! Stop distracting me)!

The problem is, throughout the evening, people were approaching me and asking me questions/making statements as if it were my home, too. Like it's a perfectly reasonable assumption that because Carol and I are a couple, we must be cohabitating. Even our Pastor threw my name into the mix during the blessing portion of the evening... and apparently, I flinched... visibly. But I didn't really make a fuss... it was a party, after all.
Then, the next morning, after church, I'm cornered by one of the more vocal members of our congregation, and the following exchange takes place:

SHE:   Great party, we had the BEST time!
ME:    Awesome! It was great to see ya.
SHE:   I'm so glad for the two of you. You both deserve to be happy.
ME:    Thanks, love. I am really happy.
SHE:   And your place is so cute! It's perfect for you guys...
ME:    Um... it's actually Carol's place. I don't live there...
SHE:   Oh, you're still moving?
ME:    Uh, no. We're, um... we're not living together.
SHE:   Oh! I thought you were together! Carol said...
ME:    We are together. We're just not living together.
SHE:   I don't understand, why wouldn't you want to be together? You said you're happy...
ME:    I am, I mean, we are... happy. Dude, we've been dating a little over a month...
SHE:   So this is just a fling? Does Carol know...
ME:    (BlinkBlink)
SHE:   She really likes you a lot, you know, and she's very vulnerable...
ME:    Oh wow, lookit the time...

Yes, pinkyswear, that really is what happened. She actually put me on the defensive and seemed offended that I haven't signed a lease. Mind you, I never said I was diametrically opposed to the idea, I simply stated the situation as it stands.

So, here's the thing, I have no problem with people who are into eachother shackin' up. If that's what they wanna do, excellent! I think it's super, I do. Saves me a mint on postage during the holidays... yay cohabitation! Whoot! However, I don't understand why it's not only presumed, but expected. And why does it seem a relationship is somehow less valid if you're not playing house and assuming eachother's debts? WTF is THAT about?
