that my wife and I have to be celibate and we can’t be legally married and we should front like we are friends.
The first two we had covered. But we were telling our families and some people that we were married.
Pretty sure Jesus wouldn’t care who Is your lover/partner

Marriage is a waste of money for me, I would rather travel with it with my wife or better yet keep it for my kids in case they have schizophrenia or disabled.

How can you not be legally married? Do you live in some retrograde place that doesn’t allow this? That would be horrible.

That doesn’t bother you,
A lot?
That church/pastor is embarrassed of who you are and for no reason.
If I were you I’d leave that place and find somewhere more open minded.

@SkinnyMe that pastor doesn’t seem to be very open minded.
There are churches/denominations that are more inclusive and accepting towards the gay community.
You deserve better.

The church I attend welcomes gay people and accepts us as members.

I’m Roman Catholic and my Church forbids legal LGBT marriages. It’s ok with traditional lesbian and gay marriages.
I am Roman catholic and my church has no problem with LGBT marriage. I also suggest finding a different church.

Though, to be fair, we live in a very gay city and almost all the churches fly rainbow flags.

What does the bible say about being gay? Not trying to get religious just asking as I don’t know.

Wow congrats @SkinnyMe
I didn’t know you got married. Must be recent.
Wishing you happiness and peace of mind.

I am sorry you are not receiving the support you need and deserve. We should all be celebrating and supporting love and commitment like the two of you have.

I’m sorry the church asked you to hide it. 
Im Roman Catholic and my area is kind of in the middle of the tolerance spectrum. They won’t marry LGBT couples in the church, but they also wouldn’t mind if they went public.
I’ve thought about walking away from the church many times due to their stance on LGBT issues, but i figure I can’t change things from the outside. Younger Catholics seem to be a lot more tolerant than the older folks, Im just sorry you aren’t getting support from an important part of your life. Your marriage is something to be celebrated.

All this information from you guys makes us feel a whole lot better. It doesn’t seem right that our marriage could be wrong only because we are unlucky enough to live in the wrong state
