how many people are against gay marriage?

Question

i think that if you're against gay marriage then you should not get married to a gay person and just leave the gay people alone!!

Answer 1

Damn gay people. Trying to destroy my heterosexual marriage. I see you lurking around the corner with your "jazz hands", ready to use your bag of broadway musical tricks to con me over to the other side! I know how you are SO jealous of my straight life that it pains you to see me with a woman. My straight hottness is so over the top you can't control your gay selves. Yeah that's right, I'll admit it. I'm one hot man and I like to touch myself thinking about me and my straight life whenever I look in the mirror. You gay people can't have the silky soft texture of my hair because you're too busy being gay with each other to be as cute as I am. Yeah, that's right GAY PEOPLE. I have a beautiful closet full of straight people clothes that I go into all the time when I don't want to be around gay people like you. Oh, my closet...

Answer 2

My opinion ranges from apathy to favorable and cynical.

Favorable - I think introducing the institute of marriage would somewhat diminish the open promiscuity and bring it more in line with heterosexual practices.

Favorable - It is a blow against people who feel hey have the right to interfere in other peoples personal choices, or at minimal feel their religion gives them a right to discriminate against others. Anything that is a blow against these people I am in favor of. (And yes, I am a born again Christian in the Methodist form.)

Apathy - With all my concerns, I dont consider whether the gay couple 2 blocks over has a marriage license or not particularly important.

Apathy - I could care less what someone does with their genitals provided I am not forced to see them, they do knowingly pass diseases with them, and they don't bother animals or children with them..

Cynical - The same people who use this as supporting reason to vote GOP are also voting a party tht generally supports the death penalty, despite the fact that it has been proven it was used against an innocent person over 30 times this century. Guess murder is an acceptable sin but homosexuality is just too much.

Cynical - It is an issue primarily because passing laws against gay marriage are a lot more easy to fix than things like record deficits.

Answer 3

I am against homosexual behavior as a whole, but since you limited the quesiton to gay marriage I'll limit my answer to it as well.
So here are just a few of the reasons I don't believe that homosexuals should be married.

Michelangelo Signorile, writing in Out! magazine, has stated that homosexuals should, "...fight for same-sex marriage and its benefits and then, once granted, redefine the institution of marriage completely … To debunk a myth and radically alter an archaic institution. … The most subversive action lesbians and gays can undertake-and one that would perhaps benefit all of society-is to transform the notion of 'family' altogether."

Andrew Sullivan, a homosexual activist writing in his book, Virtually Normal, says that once same-sex marriage is legalized, heterosexuals will have to develop a greater "understanding of the need for extramarital outlets between two men than between a man and a woman." He notes: "The truth is, homosexuals are not entirely normal; and to flatten their varied and complicated lives into a single, moralistic model is to miss what is essential and exhilarating about their otherness."

Paula Ettelbrick, a law professor and homosexual activist has said: "Being queer is more than setting up house, sleeping with a person of the same gender, and seeking state approval for doing so. … Being queer means pushing the parameters of sex, sexuality, and family; and in the process, transforming the very fabric of society. … We must keep our eyes on the goals of providing true alternatives to marriage and of radically reordering society's view of reality."

Mitchel Raphael, editor of the Canadian homosexual magazine Fab, says: "Ambiguity is a good word for the feeling among gays about marriage. I'd be for marriage if I thought gay people would challenge and change the institution and not buy into the traditional meaning of 'till death do us part' and monogamy forever. We should be Oscar Wildes and not like everyone else watching the play."

Answer 4

I consider myself to be a liberal (and a Democrat!) - but politics aside, we gotta draw the line someplace. OK, give them their "civil union" legal documents to appease them. But DON'T call it a "marriage," because marriage was, is, and always will be, a SACRED union between a MAN AND A WOMAN!!!! Sadly, there will always be men into other men, and to a lesser degree, women only into other women. I personally can't understand WHY anyone would want to make a freak-show out of their life, but to each his own, live & let live, and all that - right??! But don't inflict this perversity on others by expecting us to "bless" this un-holy union. It is NOT something that "GOD hath joined together." The problem with homos these days is they all want that affirmation & approval that their lifestyles are "normal." Well, the fact is: it's NOT "normal"! I hate to sound like a bigot (my very best MALE friend is one, UNFORTUNATELY) - but as far as I'm concerned, they should all get back in the "closet" where they belong!!! Nowdays, they're just in your face - everywhere you look. I, for one, am sick & tired of them waving flags, demanding the same rights of a traditional married couple. They chose to live outside the boundaries of tradition, so why should they feel ENTITLED to the benefits? I think it's absurd!

Answer 5

I'm part of the LGBT community and I don't understand how someone can be so discriminatory to someone because of their desires. Love is love, and marriage is simply pledging to be faithful to the one you love for life, no matter who it may be.

And for the people who are still too ignorant to see that we are all created equally, what if I told you you weren't a whole person, didn't deserve to be in love, and were unnatural simply because of your favorite color? It's dumb, isn't it? That's how we all feel here. So why can't we all just live in harmony and give everyone rights? This isn't the 1900s all over again. Just cry yourself a river, build a bridge, and get over it. Because no one cares about a discriminatory opinion, and society is dumb. Some chicks marry chicks, some dudes marry dudes. Get over it.

Answer 6

I don't know about other people. But I am against gay marriage.
Hey but what about u. u r against or ?

Answer 7

I am against gay marriage because it is a way of legalizing immorality. It destroys the sanctity of Holy Matrimony and further degrades our society. It is the starting point of a slippery slope towards complete moral corruption.

Answer 8

Gay people have rights. I'm all for that. But Marriage....That just isn't right. It's one thing to to live together and be together in public but marriage is something for a man and a woman.....Not a man and man.

Answer 9

i agree with you 100%

a homosexual male or female is not going to marry a straight person and pretend that they're not gay just to have a good life in company of family- everyone has a right to a good life like that. besides, it wouldn't be fair to anyone to pretend to be something that they weren't and nobody should not have the same rights and freedoms as everyone else.

Answer 10

As someone said once: "I'm all for gay marriage. Why shouldn't they have the right to be as miserable as the rest of us." :)
