A thoughtful and practical look at the recent battle over same-sex marriage in California from Colin Liddle of Examiner.com, a writer based in Salt Lake City.

Disregarding the battle of religious convictions over the righteousness of gay marriage, Liddle brings up the fact that it can only hurt Christians to violently attack gays and their wish to have the right to marry.

A number of people with power and resources have interpreted that God does not want gay people to get married because homosexuality is a sin. God is also a big supporter of free agency. So these people are taking away the free agency of homosexuals, claiming that they are protecting marriage. Marriage, as much as many would like to lead you to believe, is not under attack.
