Hello, DU. I am a libertarian.

[R.Quinn]

32. Sorry, I did forget to answer your questions.

But do understand that we are now talking about my personal beliefs, not what I think the law should be. You may not agree with me on this, and I certainly don't expect you to. But I think we can be civil with each other despite our differences.

As a Christian, I believe that marriage is a holy covenant before God between a man and a woman.

To a heterosexual couple, yes, I would congratulate them on their marriage.

To a homosexual couple, in all honesty, I don't know what I would say. I have never been in such a situation. But the one thing I certainly do know is that I would show both parties the same love and respect I would show a heterosexual couple, or any other human being for that matter. People are just people, and I will love others regardless.

You may now say I'm a bigot, or accuse me of homophobia or (at best) intolerance, but I don't see it that way. There is no hate in my heart towards anyone; only love. As long as a person doesn't violate the rights of others, I believe they should be able to live however they want, regardless of whether or not I approve. That's liberty. And in that regard, we are allies.

Which finally brings me to a question for you: why was it important for you to know my personal beliefs?
