Answer 1

Why do you think it should by BANNED?

If two people love each other, why should they not be allowed to marry?

Marriage is a social institution that is created and defined by societies. It has no inherent value or worth. Since its earliest days, it was purely an economic and political union. Nowadays, we have at least a theoretical understanding of marriage as the union of two people who love each other deeply and want to be committed to each other.

America operates (ostensibly) on the principle that the majority can not and should not tyrranize a minority. Hence equal rights. By preventing homosexual marriage, you prevent a significant percentage of the population from obtaining financial and medical benefits that are available to others. This is discrimination, pure and simple.

Thisissue is no different from interracial marriage. 40-50 years ago bigots and radical Christians were protesting desegregation and they were especially up in arms over interracial marriage. They used the exact same rhetoric that modern anti-gays use. They called it an abomination, perversion, unnatural, abhorent, etc. They tried to justify their hatred, but ultimately they had no solid rational reason to oppose it. They were simply blind, seething masses of hatred who wanted to control other people's lives.

Gay marriage is not about sex.You can't just say "let them do it behind closed doors." Marriage affords rights and benefits to a couple, and to deny those righjts and benefits is discrimination. It's about treating other people with equal rights and respecting them as human beings even though they are different from you. There is no solid sociological rational reason to oppose gay marriage, the only reason people oppose it is because they are intolerant bigots. Anyone who opposes gay marriage and claims to live in the land of the free is a hypocrite.

Answer 2

Gay marriage is already 'band' in most parts of the world. There are just a tiny fraction of locations that permit it.

I guess the real question is why you feel it is so important to fight it. If you accept that people are gay, why should they be treated as second class citizens with fewer rights than straight people? If your reasoning is morality then there are all kinds of laws that need to be changed, including jail time for adultery (perhaps even the death penalty).

Marriage in the eyes of the law is nothing more that two people agreeing to a partnership in which one can act as power of attorney in certain situations or be heir in the event that the other dies. They can also share certain benefits such as medical insurance.

Whether you 'agree' with what gay people do in the bedroom or not is irrelevant. The sex life of two consenting adults is none of your business and there is no reason why the government should be legislating morality on this level.

@n9wff

If you are going to get into Biblical quotes, consider that Deuteronomy 21:18-21 says that if a son is stubborn or rebellious, he should be taken by his parents to a place where he can be stoned to death. Exodus 21:17 says that if a son is rude to his father he should be put to death. So if you are using the Bible as the basis for all laws, should we write it in to law that any child found being stubborn, rebellious or using foul language should be stoned to death? I mean seriously, we don't use the Bible as the basis for laws like this because they are stupid, but you specifically want to use a Bible passage to dictate how gay marriage law should be determined?

Answer 3

WRONG !
there is no purpose for gay marriage besides tax write offs and a piece of paper. If you have been living with someone for 5 10 20 yrs who cares if you have a piece of paper saying your married. gay people are just jealous of some stupid tax right off or a document saying the states says your married. why not just buy a ring and say i am taken..... why try to change laws for your own selfish jealous reasons! any other legal documents cover everything they want. Power of attorney or a Will. Now that you want to come out of your closet we are suppose to bend to your moral standards and what you think society should be?
NO enough is enough!
heterosexual marriages are breaking down from lack of commitment and moral standards in this country. From the breakdown of family values and lack of true fathers who are willing to stand by their wives and families at all cost. TV sports and sex has become the new pass time. Children are a burden now not a gift. A wife is a nag or hag instead of a beautiful precious gift to be treasured above all.

Answer 4

I'm a devout Christian and a straight male, but this concept of not letting two people marry who deeply care about one another sickens me. We act like marriage is the most sacred thing and that it would be destroyed if we allowed gay people to marry. THE AVERAGE MARRIAGE LASTS LESS THAN 3 YEARS!!! The divorce rate is the highest it has ever been. I have found that most gay couples who have long wished to be married have been together for 10, 15, 20+ years. We act like because we are straight that we are more moral than homosexuals, when actually they are normally the more generous and quickest to lend a helping hand to those in need. When gays refer to each other as "Life Partners", they mean it. Honestly, many people would do well to take a page from the gay community on love, relationships, and helping your fellow man. I don't care if this changes your mind or not. Seek Truth and you shall have it.

Answer 5

Gay civil union -- totally right. Falls under the heading of "live and let live", makes people happy, helps avoid promiscuous lifestyles leading to nasty STDs, and sorts out legal issues in case one partner dies or health decisions need to be made. Confirms a relationship.
Gay marriage in the church? I'd say no, because the community of believers should decide among themselves, and religion tends to be conservative. But we shouldn't confuse "Marriage," the religious contract, with "marriage" the civil alliance of two individuals who want to live their lives together. Marriage in the church implies man and woman, civil union shouldn't.

Unless of course, we really want to admit that the United States is an essentially Christian government and there is no separation between church and state.

Answer 6

I'm not going to try to change your mind. (Your spelling could use some help though. I think you mean banned, not band.) Marriage is between man and woman. There can be no marriage between 2 men or 2 women.

Answer 7

I think it's right. I think if 2 people love each other, they should be allowed to get married even if they r the same sex. I mean its not effecting u. If this law is allowed its just gonna be making some people very unhappy and they won't be able to marry the person they love. I think if it's banned its gonna be taking away peoples freedom, choice and rights even more.

Answer 8

Well, Homosexuality may have genetic basis, and therefore, homosexuality is neither a 'deviant behaviour', nor a desease.

Having said that, if the definition of marriage is - to allow for production of children - then surely, gays cannot marry.

However, if marriage is also to allow for - companionship, love, and provision of a safety net called home for (adopted/ natural) children etc., then homosexuals should certainly be afforded that right.

Europe and many countries allow for a civil union - equal in marriage in legal terms (i.e. same tax breaks etc); but these are civil unions, and not 'marriage'.

My summary - whether you call it marriage or not, they should be afforded the right to live as they choose to, with equal treatment in eyes of the law.

Answer 9

wrong
Gays cannot reproduce through sex. Procreation only possible between man and woman, as God created.
God condemns homosexuality

Romans 1:24-28
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;


God says marriage between man and woman. (Genesis 2:24)

Answer 10

God gave man free will so what makes you wiser than God that you feel you have to take it away. How can love ever be wrong? Do you enjoy your freedoms? Shouldn't every person be treated with respect? Allow people to believe and live as they want. Just as you would like to be treated.
