Gay marriage is this really a problem?

Answer 1

If two people want to live together, they should live together -- regardless of sex. I'm not a big fan of institutional marriage -- all those Biblical concepts (marriage, gays...) are misinterpretations. Let people do what they want - as long as they don't infringe upon other people's rights. Practice tolerance and minding your own business.

Peace.

Answer 2

It won't pass. They know it won't pass. The Senate just passed a Bill that will get a bunch of Senators (including Presidential hopefuls) pilloried and is trying to buy back the vote. Maybe it will work for some, but I personally am just more ticked off. The flag amendment is part of the same package. I reserve the right to despise anyone who defaces our flag, but I'll be damned if I want to have a law saying you can't peacefully make a point. There might be a circumstance where that would be unprotected speech, say at a soldier's funeral, or if it might cause a riot, but generally protest is part of America.

The only thing that bugs me about the Gay marriage bit is in places like California where they have just voted that they have to put in elementary school text books and other text books the sexual orientation of famous people who are gay. (Not the ones who are straight.) My kids are older now, but I personally wouldn't have wanted to be forcing discussions of sexuality on them at age 5. I think the state legislature has a lot of nerve.

Answer 3

Yes, gay marriage is a problem for bigots, for the shallow minded, for evil doers, for the holier than thou, bible thumpers...otherwise, not a problem at all.

How does gay marriage affect those listed above?

Canada has passed the law that states persons of the same sex may enter into a legal relationship called marriage and benefit from all of the benefits [and pitfalls] that such a union can bring.

I am straight...since Canada changed the law, not one gay woman has come to me and demanded I marry her, nor have any gay couples demanded I come to their wedding...how does it affect me as a straight woman? It doesn't affect me at all.

Answer 4

I wouldn't call it a problem.

Marriage however is defined as a joining between a man and woman.

If homosexual males or females want to be "joined" they should be allowed to. The joining should have all the benefits (making medical decisions, estate benefits) and detractions (tax bracket definitions and divorces, chid support, etc.) that a marriage would.

This joining should NEVER be called a marriage though. As I began, a marriage is between male and female only.

Answer 5

I don't have a problem with it.I don't like to be in the company of such people because I feel the same as most bible thmpers! But since none of us are perfect anyways....I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.

I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.

Answer 6

Heavens yes!! I just saw a survey that Pat Robertson made up off the top of his head which said that homosexual activists are responsible for 37 percent of all divorces in America.

Answer 7

Only for bush & his cronies. Some of my best friends are gay &
I have more trust in them, than this administration.

I'm going to bring this up. Warren Jeffs, a polygamist, has 100
slaves (wives). Alot of them are collecting wefare because
Utah will reconize only one wife as legal. He'll take a woman &
her children & decide to give them a new husband.

Why isn't this on bushes agenda?!

Answer 8

I really do not see how gay marriage is a threat to the fabric of our society.

If you're against gay marriage, don't have one!

Answer 9

I personally think there is no problem with it it is fine with me if that is there sexuality and they are proud of it then more power to them. I do not think people should be judged by their sexuality.

Answer 10

Only for people who like to stick their nose in everyone else's business..
