Gay Marriage Debate Continues in Mass.

CBNNews.com -- The governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney, is demanding that state lawmakers let voters decide on gay marriage.
Romney will appear at a rally Sunday on the issue.
Last week Massachusetts lawmakers decided to recess instead of considering a ballot measure that would leave the issue up to the people.
More than 170,000 citizens signed a petition in support of the ballot question.
It would define marriage as only between a man and a woman.
Romney says "people have a right to participate," but lawmakers who support gay marriage say there's no mandate requiring them to vote.
A similar amendment on gay marriage died in 2002 when lawmakers refused to vote on it.
Homosexuality is increasingly accepted in our culture.
Many Christians want to know how they can effectively reach out to homosexuals without compromising what the Bible says about same-sex relationships.

For a closer look at the issue, watch an interview with Alan Chambers, author of the book God's Grace and the Homosexual Next Door.
Chamber is also president of Exodus International, a ministry for those struggling with homosexuality.
