Though a Christian, with right-leaning political views, I do not oppose gay marriage.  I have given it much thought, but cannot form any opposition that withstands the scrutiny I apply to any other political or social issue.  Namely: does it harm me?  No.  Does it lessen my liberties?  None that I can see.  Does it impose burdens or costs on me?  No, it does not.  I see no actual harm that it does to any citizen, nor can I detect any cost that it lays on any citizen.  Thus, it only works to expand liberty.

These are the most important criteria that I apply to any issue.  They are my touchstones, not the dictates or opinions of any political party, group or creed.  Words or actions that fail these criteria, I will oppose, whether they come from the left or the right.  Words or actions which pass these criteria, I will, at the least, not oppose, thought I may also not lend active support.

Furthermore, I can find no word or deed of Jesus Christ that even implies that we treat homosexuals in any way other than how we treat all others.  Paul may have made such statements, but I am a Christian, not a Paulian.  Christ said that His two most important instructions to us were to love God, and to love others.  He placed no qualifications on either.

Furthermore yet, I would like to see government, at all levels, withdraw itself from all regulation and oversight of marriage.  Government has no business there, and we should oppose its presence in such personal areas of our lives.
