And the greatest gift of all...

Just a thought...
But I was talking with a friend today who is decidedly in favor of prop 8, and a very good human being that I respect, yet disagree with..
And after reading the articles he had posted about the LDS church and their position on homosexuality... I had a thought...

I'm almost certain that pretty much everyone who is against same-sex marriage is against it due to their belief system... and because this is the US... many of those people believe in some form of christianity...

So my thought to the Christians is this:
the greatest gift from God (aside from love) is free will. A God so loving, he lets his children choose. They may choose Him, or other gods, or no god.. etc...
So why on earth would we take that away from people?
Their free will to marry the person they love? Does that prevent you from practicing your own religion? You believe that a marriage is between a man and a woman... so, yes! By all means! Get hitched! A man to a woman or vice versa! Please!
...But I believe that a person can be both homosexual AND deeply spiritual/ religious.

God does not limit his free will for us.
Please don't limit mine!
