I've seen the verses about gay sex, but I'm wondering if the Bible says anywhere that gay marriage is wrong.
Is there a verse somewhere that says that two mothers or two fathers raising a child is an abomination?

The first girl is just plain incorrect. Nowhere in the Bible does it condemn homosexuality, just homosexual sex.
Now about homosexual marriage, I have no idea. However, unless that marriage does not include sex, it is covered under that provision.

When I think of gay marriage, I don't refer to the bible, I refer to morals. Which in fact, this country is losing a lot of. Kids/Teenagers barely have any respect for their elders anymore, they troll, get high to fit in, become environmentally changed by their surroundings. Homosexuallity is both a genetic and environmental effect on certain people. The genetic effect has always been around, only suppressed until now. The environmental effect can be anything from (growing up without a father) to changing your view from experimentation. It's also the way we live our lives (without the morals we use to value) Why do you think that America is at an all time high gay rate of nearly 10%, in some cities the rates go as high as 15%. Then look at every other country on the planet, which all sit at the same rate of about 3 to 4%, and always have been. I've had friends that have switched from being gay to straight multiple times in their life (more proof) and I've even had friends that claimed that (they only said they were gay) so that people would feel sorry and girls would like them vice versa etc etc etc... My point is, this country is losing it's values, and taking the freedoms granted to us, way out of context. Just wait and watch, in the next 20 years, you will have people asking to legally marry broom sticks and using LSD.

No, because it would not fit into their definition of marriage at all. The concept is a recent one. Basically, the reason it got raised at all, in my opinion, is all the special privileges granted to married couples: insurance benefits, tax breaks, housing, child custody, next of kin status such as governing visitation in hospitals and prisons. It makes sense, when you think of it: either get rid of all those privileges OR make them available to any couple who has publicly declared a commitment to one another. Personally, I'd rather see marriage be considered a private religious thing, and use "family partnerships" or even "family corporations" instead, so that the limit of only two adults would also come down, along with the hetero bias.

I do not believe it discusses that, but I do think a marriage was defined as a man and woman together. That being said, you could not redefine marriage to include homosexuals. It also does condemn gay sex. However, it says nothing about two men or two women, married and having sex or otherwise, raising children.

The bible admonishes the act of homosexuality and calls it an abomination, but no place does it say that two mothers or fathers raising a child is an abomination.

Just because a couple is married in the eyes of the state, doesn't mean they are married in the eyes of God. Remember, the Government doesn't want to confuse the affairs of the state with the affairs of the Church. Marriage was instituted, by God, to be between a man and a woman, as God has intended. Anything else is just what it is...something else, but it is not "marriage."

Are you serious ?
Fine, I will humor you. No, it doesn't.
Gay sex was an abomination in the Bible. Nobody in their right mind would even think of gay marriage
They didn't think ( I am totally sure ) that anybody would ask that

Ha ha ha - someone said that marriage=sex. I am not married, but I was under the impression that sex stopped after marriage..... If that's the case, shouldn't the christians be pushing homosexuals to get married?

No, it condemns neither. I've been going through a few dozen answers from this member whose four-letter name begins with S and ends with R. She has consistently posted negative opinions regarding homosexuality. The opinions are so vile that I believe we should all pray for enlightenment to unburden her heart of the hatred it carries.

At the time the Bible was written gay marriage was not even an option. So why would it be in the Bible?
The Bible condemns homosexual behavior, enough said.

The bible condemns homosexual sex. And it also says that marriage is between only a man and a woman.
