Why I voted Yes

In Minnesota, there was an amendment that would have allowed only traditional marriages.  Why I voted for this amendment is because simply my pastor told me too.  Now, I thought about it for a while and was at a cross roads.  It came down to should I follow others that aren't Christians or should I listen to my pastor who is a Christian and not only that he is also my leader.  So, I did vote for the amendment not because of what I personally thought of, because I thought it was stupid to have an amendment on this issue to the Minnesota Constitution.  Originally I planed to vote No, but I had to vote Yes because it was an authority issue for me, because my pastor urged the congregation to vote Yes on the amendment.  I do however disagree with my pastor's decision on the matter in regards to have government involvement in the first place.  The simplest answer to my political views is that Government should be privatized all except the courts and the police, which I will post this on another topic.  That is why I disagreed with my pastor's decision on the matter of the amendment but voted yes because it was an authority issue for me.
