It is an issue that sparks an ingrained feeling that is acquired through religion, observance, or some other avenue. Regardless, it exists, and elected officials should not arbitrarily force acceptance of it upon people. Homosexuality is something that transcends the legislation process in that God, through the Bible, has already legislated for us.
