Because a bunch of people didn't have a good experience with the different sex and they didn't see a therapist either, but don't persecute them or anything

Because marriage bestows legal benefits. Its not a religious question, its a legal terminology one.

If two people love each other and live together and want to be married, but legally cannot be, then their ability to say- inherit the home they own with their significant other becomes complicated. Their ability to collect retirement or social security benefits after their passing becomes complicated.

So just like we allow non-religious straight couples to marry outside of a church, we can likewise allow gay couples to marry outside of a church because this is a LEGAL ISSUE NOT A RELIGIOUS ONE.…  Read more

Your church doesn't have to believe gay marriage is biblical marriage, for it to be a legally binding government marriage.

Kamala Harris says she will not ban fracking

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris told CNN on Thursday that she would not ban fracking if elected president.BASH: I want to get some clarity on where you stand on some key policy issues. Energy is a big one. In — when you were in Congress, you supported the Green New Deal. And in 2019 you said, quote, “There is no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.” Fracking, as you know, is a pretty big issue, particularly in your must-win state of Pennsylvania.HARRIS: Sure.BASH: Do you still want to ban fracking?HARRIS: No, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020, that I would not ban fracking. As vice president, I did not ban fracking. As president, I will not ban fracking.BASH: In 2019, I believe in a town hall you said — you were asked, “Would you commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking on your first day in office?” and you said, “There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking. So yes.” So it changed in — in that campaign?BASH: What made you change that position at the time?HARRIS: Well, let’s be clear. My values have not changed. I believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate. And to do that, we can do what we have accomplished thus far.: In 2020 I made very clear where I stand. We are in 2024, and I have not changed that position, nor will I going forward. I kept my word, and I will keep my word.
