Question

very intelligent question,choose your answer wisely

Answer 1

Nothing is wrong with the morals of this country. The problem is, most morality is based on religion, and the Constitution of this country prohibits enacting religious doctrine as law.

It's not the government's place to dictate what consenting adults can and cannot get married. There is no valid non-religious reason against same-sex marriage (see link below). And religious reasons are not valid grounds for secular laws.

Marriage, as a legal (not religious) concept carries specific legal benefits and obligations. Those benefits are being denied to certain couples based solely on gender. It's pure gender-based discrimination. And for those who argue differently, look at the laws.

Two homosexual people, a gay man and a lesbian woman, can get married for the legal benefits. Even if they never have sex and never raise children. Why? Because it's a man marrying a woman. The fact that both are homosexual doesn't stop them from marrying someone of the opposite sex and getting all the legal benefits of marriage.

Two straight women, who both plan on having sex only with males, want to get married for the legal benefits of marriage. They cannot, because of their gender. It has nothing to do with the sexual orientation, because they're both straight.

Morality is about doing what's good for people and good for society. It's not about enforcing prejudice as a matter of law. Those opposed to same-sex marriage are merely trying to enforce bigotry and hatred of those they don't like, and get the law to approve such discrimination. And that attempt is doomed to failure in the long, just like every other legally-enacted expression of hatred and discrimination that was eventually overturned.

So, do you personally have to accept something that you don't approve of? No. And whether I agree with your beliefs or not, I'll fight tooth and claw to ensure that you have the personal right to believe what your morality teaches.

But I'll fight just as hard to make sure the that the government doesn't get in the business of legislating religious morality, because everyone else has the same rights. And those rights include being able to choose who you love, and to having the same right to marry that person regardless of their race or gender. Mixed-race couples were eventually accepted by the law, when the law finally realized that racial prejudice had no place on the marriage paperwork. Eventually, the law will realize that gender prejudice also has no place on the marriage paperwork.

The only question is how long it's going to take people to realize that prejudice, hatred and bigotry are always going to be inherently worse than any expression of love ever could be.

Answer 2

Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'4" 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know.

Answer 3

Morals?
Your definition of morals probably differ greatly than mine....and 99% of the rest of the country would differ from the both of us to a degree. So that part of the question is moot....and is NOT intelligent.

Who's forcing you to accept same-sex marriage?
If you're that easily swayed, that's on you.

You don't have to "accept" anything at all.

Question Backfired.
Sorry.

Answer 4

in my opinion there is nothing wrong about same sex marriage... everyone is allowed to choose how they want to live , and if two people love each other and wanna celebrate heir true love in marriage so let it be . Still , i don't think that homosexuals should raise children .. coz the benefit of the child should be putt en first. this world is cruel enough and children should have a "man" and a "woman" figure ,,( a known fact psychologically) ..

Answer 5

Why do you care what consenting adults choose to do? I fail to see how same sex marriages are a reflection of poor morality, nor do I see why anyone who is not a homosexual should care. It doesnt affect them in the slightest. If they want to be married, they should be able to marry.

Answer 6

Whats Wrong? - ACLU did away with morals saying civil LIBERTIES are more important.

AND we DO NOT have to accept same sex marriages, and if you feel that you do, write your government officials and let them know what you feel.

Answer 7

You don't have to accept it, just ignore it because what difference does it make to you really? Er, not a very intelligent question sorry
