Taking the eggs to the butcher

I am having a really hard time on the topic of same sex marriage as I have as of today rethought my position on this topic.  I must say that I had for a while found this topic to be quite anathematic and that I really never felt a real need to make a major position statement on this one way or another.  True, the Jewish faith has Torah weddings and that Torah law endures all of which we take into our lives.  That said, same sex marriage is a true quest for many in the same sex world with many supporters on the side of those who are not involved or pursuing same sex relations.  I had thought that whatever the state or nation passes would be hopefully the way things go forward.  It does not mean that Judaism supports a same sexual Torah based Marriage. I say that it does not.  But that said, Judaism supports tolerance and in doing so, it would make sense to accept those who are married under common law as people who have a significant relationship based on the law of man.   I have to say that once in the past I had thought that it was the right thing to support same sex marriage.  That idea lasted a few weeks where upon I felt that I realized that this was not what was the best for mankind.   I have to say that the best for mankind is a healthy community with healthy relationships.  I realize that those who feel that they need to be given a married status by common law seek to do so for their own perceived or real needs of emotional and community health.  So seeing that as a physician, my goal is healthy human beings and a healthy communty, I must now realize that I do have a need to have a position on this topic.  I must support that which brings true health to our state and nation.  This I see today must mean that I support same sex wedding rights in my nation and state and community.  This does not mean that I believe that Torah must change.  I do not feel this at all.  But Torah mandates that we serve mankind as ambassadors of truth, temperance and tolerance.  I feel that this is the only way that I can faithfully be a Torah guided individual.   I am going to be struggling on this one for a while I imagine.  I do not believe that G-d is angry with me for my decision. I even feel that My Creator agrees with my position now.  Perhaps this is a leadership role that I must make if I am going to be a true Torah Jew, a physician and a community trust.    I say this, if you don't support same sex marriage, do you do so because you believe your Creator would be angry with you or is it your fellow man.  If you realize that your concerns come from xenophobia, you must change your beliefs.   No one should make a position because they are afraid of their fellow man unless it means that they will not be able to fulfill other purposes that they feel that they exist to pursue.   I feel that by doing so, I realize that my own popularity and consideration by my own fellow man may not be to the liking of all persons, but that said, I feel that I am indeed serving my God, my country and my fellow man.  So on that note, I will conclude by saying I will be voting yes on any same sex marriage bill in the future.   I do reserve the right to amend this at any time.   Thanks.
