Which is wrong, and I'm sure anyone would agree that it's wrong to bring a child into a relationship to prove a point. Just like the people on the brink of divorce who have a kid to "save" their relationship. Or the people who have a kid to have an excuse to stay home and not work. Or the ones who have a kid so that they can **** off their parents and not allow grandma/grandpa to see them. All wrong.
Gay marriage =/= bringing a child into a screwed up home. Your sister and her partner aren't being good parents. There are plenty of same sex parents doing a great job, and plenty of horrid moms and dads out there as well.
I am a Christian. I love God, have read the Bible backwards and forwards, and studied gender/marriage/the Bible fairly in depth (I had to teach it to my middle school Bible study girls this year, and really, really solidified my own faith in doing so). I do not, for one instant, think that God is against same sex relationships. Paul and Timothy seem to preach against it in one way or another, but in the same letters they write about women not speaking in church, women not ever teaching men, and women keeping their heads covered at all times. Paul goes so far as to say it's best for people NEVER to get married (that the only reason we should is if we can't "control our lusts").
Even if I was against it...I wouldn't vote against it. That's denying people basic human rights, in my opinion.
