I will help you out - THERE ISNT ONE.
Read the book before you mouth off on something you dont know. People who read the book will notice that nothing is directly said about gays or lesbians.
Just because the state in every country uses its defenition for tax purposes dont go hell bent against religion.
The state can change its laws to state union of man woman, man man, woman woman, man X, woman X if it wanted to but the lafous in the world want to condem the Bible's defenition of marriage because most goverments are too ball-less to do anything about it. Dont come to me and say that a word coined by the bible should change cause Elton John and Doogie want to get together and romp on Miami Beach.
Dont listen to anyone who believes the Church is any closer to God then the whore across the streen because they arent (read), evanjelical windbags and the vatican have done more harm to Religion - marriage, abortion issues etc. Read the book in the context of the time and make your own decision.
I believe in word of the Bible and I attempt to live my life accordingly. I also believe that a lifetime union before God (coined marriage) is a union between a man and a woman - period no exceptions.
That doesnt mean I dont think that other unions shouldnt get the appropriate state tax breaks etc but I will never agree to change the defenition of the word marriage because political winbags are too ball less and leftous are to dickish.
Religion should not have to change its defenition because a few people are offended by it.

First of all, he never said the Bible spewed hatred and bigotry, he said religion did. but just in case you need some quotes, here's one for starters :
"If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them"
And you base your belifes in a book that was written 1500-2000 years ago? A book that inculdes not only the worf og God as a basis for its teaching but many of the societal norms of the time as well. many of those societal norms have drastically changed!
