The writer of this article seems to be anti-Christian.  Their assessment of the debate is flawed in so many ways that it is almost worthless to comment.  Civil rights are natural born rights, which we all have.  A person is born either male or female, excluding birth abnormalities.  The falsehood is the assumption that people can simply "identify" as the opposite sex or both (homosexuals) and are naturally entitled to civil rights for their new concoction of themselves.  It's time to get out of lalaland.  No special rights should be given to anyone based on how they self identify.  A black person cannot simply identify as a white person, just like a man cannot simply identify as a woman and expect a reasonable person of faith to accept it as normal.  As Christians, we follow THE TRUTH, which cannot be debated.  The truth is marriage was created and implemented by God as the union between male and female. Genesis 2:24-25.  Same sex marriage is a falsehood unlawfully imposed on America.
