Chuck Colson makes the case that "gay marriage" is an oxymoron. Marriage is a conjugal union of one man and one woman, so how can marriage be between two people of the same sex. Are so-called "gay marriage" advocates winning the battle for words? Watch this week's Two-Minute Warning, where Chuck Colson makes a profound, counter-cultural pledge.

One definition of love is "having the best interest of the loved one in mind". From what I can determine, the behavior & practices of homosexuals are destructive and damaging to the bodies, minds and souls of the homosexuals. It does not appear that such behavior has the best interest of another in mind and therefore would not be called love.
Correlation does NOT imply causation. It is VERY hard to prove causation with statistics alone. Please, please, don't make it look like "gayness" has caused so many bad things just because the statistics correlate. Sure gay people are more likely to commit suicide, but is that because they are gay? Or because society will not accept them? How would you like it if you had to live EVERY DAY in a world that looked down on you, in a world that hated you both in private and in public, for something that you cannot change? Say society began hating Christians, and every day almost every single person you met scoffed at you and little children stared and people passed laws so that you could not practice your religion. But your religion is so important to you, so much an essential aspect of your character, of your person, that you not only are unwilling, but cannot change it to fit society, what do you do then? It feels pretty bad doesn't it? It hurts to see that other people can't see the light, the LOVE that you see. And after being beaten (both mentally and physically) for so many years, day after day after day, how long will it take you until you begin to consider suicide? How long will it take until you can't be a part of this society any more? How long will it take until you look desperately for any way, any way out of this pain and hate and lonely solitude? That is the reason so many gay people commit suicide. It's not because they are sick or confused or less-than in any way. Who really wants to live when everyone tells them not to? And sometimes, you get enough of those threats, that those words begin to sink in, and you begin believing them. You begin to believe that you are less than, that you are the sick, diseased dregs of society. Besides, who would notice if you were gone? All because "fags don't deserve to live." (not my words, I promise on my life) And you, my friend, by criticizing gays are only enabling more comments like that. You are only enabling hate, even though you think you are fighting for what you think is "moral."
In other words, marriage=sex. Shouldn't marriage be about love? If marriage is only about sex, shouldn't infertility be grounds for divorce? Aren't we just diminishing ourselves and giving into our animal passions by making the most important union in our lives all about SEX? Are intersexed people not allowed to marry? It is not fair to say that everyone fits together the same way, because they don't. Please, don't make marriage sex. Marriage is LOVE. God put love in our hearts so that we may love others and care about others. He made us "intelligent" so that we might separate ourselves from the animals that live on this earth. We are shepherds of this earth, joined by our love for God and our love for all His creation.
You seem like a hypocrite. You tell us our culture is crumbling, yet you also tell us marriage is sex. Because if marriage is sex, then a man marries a woman when he rapes her. A man marries a child when he rapes that child. Both women and men become slaves of sex instead of brethren of love.
And I'd like to correct you on your definition of marriage that (supposedly) all throughout history and in all cultures people have defined marriage as between one man and one woman. Do your reading. Marriage has been defined through one man and several women, several men and one woman (though rarer), groups of people, and so on and so forth.
