Defending marriage

Thank you for your editorial in the March 11 issue, “Defending the Definition of Marriage.” We must have a constitutional amendment to preserve the true purpose of marriage that God established as a union of one man and one woman. Homosexual, same-sex weddings are a mockery of marriage.

Homosexuality is not a legitimate lifestyle. It is a perversion. God calls it an abomination in Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13. God also classifies it with other sins (Rom. 1:21–32), and so should we.

I wrote to President Bush, Sen. Shelby and Sen. Sessions and Rep. Bachus in February expressing my support for and encouragement of the passage of the Federal Marriage Amendment. Both Sen. Sessions and Rep. Bachus have, in a reply to another letter, written me that they are co-sponsors of the amendment. I encourage all to write them, giving them support and encouragement, and to pray that God will bring about the passage of the amendment.
