Gay Marriage Being Counted in the Census Bureau

In blog “Gay Marriage Being Counted in the Census Bureau,” written by Danielle Zamora I found it very interesting that she states in her article that the census bureau was for the first time deploying professional field workers to reach out to lesbian and gay couples and encouraging them to file as wife or husband on their census forms. The question in her article was should gay couples be counted as being married. She also goes on to quote our pledge allegiance “one nation under God” and that God created marriage to be between a man and a woman. That legalizing gay marriages goes against what God created marriage to be. That there are some people who argue that gay couples have the right to marriage just like everyone else and others who say that it will redefine marriage. So should gay couples be counted as being married?
My answer to the question “Should gay couples be counted as married,” is “No.” I agree with Danielle’s argument in her article that “God created marriage to be between a man and a woman.” This is written in bible scriptures and it is something that I strongly believe in. Marriage is between a man and a woman that is why GOD created Adam and Eve. I believe that anything else just brings more evil into this world. Our Pope Benedict, stance on homosexuality is that it is a moral evil. He states that the inclination toward homosexuality is not necessarily a sin, it can be considered a "tendency toward an intrinsic moral evil, and thus the inclination itself must be seen as an objective disorder." He continues by stating that, "A person engaging in homosexual behavior therefore acts immorally," because sex is only good if framed in the stance of being for procreation between a married man and woman.
