Just as God’s love is all-encompassing, we too must show compassion to our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters.
For some of us, this may feel like a struggle. Some people may be uncomfortable with lesbian and gay couples getting married. But just because you don’t approve of something does not mean it should be illegal. It is not for us to judge other people. It is our job to show love and compassion to all God’s children.
Many gay couples have been together for years, showing enduring love, commitment and courage in the face of discrimination and violence. Discrimination is wrong no matter whom it affects. We must all work together to fight discrimination, wherever it arises. And we must find it in our hearts to offer every couple the support of family and community that comes with marriage.
