Dear President Harrison,

Your last sentence says it all: "The root of the issue is 'the ethic of radical sexual freedom, detached from God's blessing of marriage.'"

Because that is so, I believe we need to frame the conversation more broady and focus not only on the issue of homosexual marriage as it affects society, but also on the millions in our society who are cohabitating without the benefit of marriage while seeking sexual pleasure outside of marriage and a life-long commitment between one man and one woman.

As we who are God's people speak and act in a loving manner admitting that we have all sinned in thought, word, and deed, we can expect to make a greater impact upon a society that is more and more prone to follow what feels good rather than what God's Word declares.
