How should the Church respond? or should it?
As a Christian, what effect do you think such laws make in how you relate to "married" gays?
What concerns do you have in your own country in this matter?
The Church should respond by issuing an open declaration that homosexual is a sin; thereby, homosexual marriage is an abomination before God. Of course, we need to remember that not all churches are bible-based in their teaching.
I don't see the law as affecting me in my behavior. Now, if you are employed by some entity,such as working in a personnel office, or retail, etc., you may be affected immediately. The long-term result will probably be somewhat like the acceptance of those
living together outside of marriage by society at large, and by specifically Christians. Christians will not approve, but we have stopped making it a big issue.
The USA is only a few years behind Canada in this. It will not be done legislatively, but through the Courts. The Courts will lead the way, then legislation will follow.
