Answer 2

Yes I believe in Gay Rights. I am very passionate about this subject and I am not even Gay! I see how others struggle and the hate that this subject brings out in other close-minded people. It wasn't that many years ago that the U.S. was struggling with the Civil Rights Movement including segregation! History is repeating itself with a different oppressed group of people. As for the argument that people are not born Gay, well...Why would anyone CHOOSE to be gay with all the discrimination and bigotry in this world. Since when do we want government deciding what we can or cannot do in our personal lives. What is wrong with two people being happy together! EQUAL RIGHTS!!!

Answer 3

I am gay and I don't really believe in gay rights.

I do, however, believe in EQUAL rights for all American Citizens.

I do not believe that people who don't like homosexuality should have more rights than homosexuals.

I believe in equality. I believe in the democratic republic our forefathers envisioned when they created this great country.

I don't believe in "gay rights." I do, however believe in freedom and equality.

What, exactly, do people find objectionable about that?

Ladyrebel: You misunderstood the question. The question wasn't who did god make, adam and eve, or adam and steve. The question wasn't do you think it is a sin or if you agreed with homosexuality. You just took this opportunity to spout your tired rhetoric no matter if it related to the question or not. It is a shame your reading comprehension isn't as good as your memorization. That adam and steve thing... so unique... so catchy. Where did you get that?

Answer 4

Yes, in the essential way I believe in Human rights. Gay people (ooo I like being Happy!!)really want no other rights than what's available to heterosexuals. We want the right to marry, have benefits for our partners (my Best Beloved and I have been together for 25 years now) and be able to legally care for each other. That's not so much to ask. I have no problem with civil unions either! I just ask that the Christians keep their noses out of my personal business as I do out of the business that goes on in the church. It's straighforward and reasonably simple...and it harms no one. This is a good thing.

Answer 5

Why do you have an issue with homosexuality? why do you make an issue of it? why isn't it rights? Period. Why by the very nature of being a living breathing human being dint you have the god given right to do what you want as long as you are not interfering with another human beings' space, most especially in the privacy of your own home? Although sometimes exercising those "certain rights" doesn't mean that you have to flaunt the fact that you are doing so to an unapproving or hostile environment. some times it is better to keep a low profile even if what you are doing is perfectly within your rights.

Answer 6

Yes, I don’t see how anyone who claims to be Christian wouldn’t. I used to wonder why God wouldn’t just force everyone to believe in him, and follow/worship him. It say in the bible that he gives us free will to determine our own fate. If we decide to go against him, we go to hell, but it is still our choice as an individual. So, the way I see it, people who say gay’s shouldn’t have equal rights are basically saying that they feel they should do something that God won’t, because they think God is wrong to let us decide for our self. I don’t believe in god, but I once did, and anyone, believer or non who looks at it from a logical perspective will have to agree that the fair thing is for equal rights. Maybe it dose go against what you believe personally, but it isn’t your choice. And if you believe in God, he didn’t even make it his choice, but instead he gave it to us. If you don’t believe in god, but are against gay rights, think about this. The pilgrims came here to be free to live how they wanted. Even thought they wanted to live religious lives, they didn’t say in the laws that you had to live any cretin way. If we limit anyone on how they can live, we go against the reason we are here in the first place. Live and let live. Plus, a long time back, Christians where persecuted for there beliefs. That was wrong too. They didn’t have equal rights, they where taunted, murdered, and discriminated against for being different. So where the Jews, African Americans, and countless others. I don’t understand why we cant learn from our past mistakes. Stop discriminating, and give everyone equal rights.

Answer 7

im a married hetero with children and a christian. there is no topic that effects me less personally than this- but I must say it sure does get my blood boiling. people, gay or not, deserve the same rights. gay marriage is the worst of it. how can you justify denying gays the right to marry? do u realize that it was against the law for a caucasian and an african american to marry in many states less than 60 years ago? it's the same sort of intolerance and stupidity today that we had back then- and years from now they will take the same dim view of this policy.
to all of you christians that use religon as a justification for intolerance toward gays- think about this. if u believe in jesus- consider his actions. he sacrificed his life to teach his followers the most important lesson of the faith- intolerance is the worst sin of man. he allowed his blood to be brutally shed so people could see for themselves and remember for eternity the price of intolerance. he surrounded himself with the outcasts of society- to show that everyone deserves acceptance. he sent this message to all of us directly, and if u ignore it and allow your preacher, priest, church, or whoever to 'interpret' the bible in a way that justifies intolerance- you are missing jesus's message. ignore this, and i don't think you'll be forgiven.

Answer 8

Yes I do. If god made us all a certain way then why do some ppl turn out gay. If you say that god does not want us to be the way we are then why did he make it possible for us to be this way. I beleave that all human beings have the same rights no matter what race gender or sexual preferance they have. We are all equals, we are all human beings.

Answer 9

If you read the answers that are essentially "NO," you will see the problem with the question. When you say "believe" you beg for people to spout religious rhetoric. "I believe gays are people and they should be treated well but HELL NO they can't get married!" kind of crap. People have a right to ascribe to a religion and practice it, meaning make their life choices reflective of it. However, it kills me how some religious people fall for the age-old recruitment scheme their churches initiate as a way to keep a large enough congretation to get enough money to stay in business. They teach you to impose your "beliefs" upon others. To me, when you do that, you are a member of a club--a corporation, really--known as your church. If you truly value your freedom to believe and live as you wish according to your religion, then you ought to support other's rights to be and live as they are. Otherwise, one day the balance could shift and you may lose your religious freedoms. Freedom for all means same rights for all. Of course, sadly in the U.S., as a direct result of what I just described, we do not have the separation of church and state that we are supposed to have.

Answer 10

"Believe" in them? I do believe in fairies; I do I do I do!

I just thought the question was phrased in a peculiar manner. I feel that in this country (the States), there's no excuse to have one group of people subjugated to a different level of rights than the rest of society. I think that GLBT individuals and couples should have access to all the same rights as their straight peers. But, then, on the GLBT board, this question is really only here to seperate the trolls from the rest of us.

Answer 11

I'm a gay male. The term "gay rights" is misleading. What most of us want are the human rights, and our rights as citizens. We don't want any special treatment, we just want to be treated equally.
