wat do u think of gay marriage?

Question

i think it is the rite of that person 2 do wat they want 2. in america arent all men created equal? so y can't they get married?

Answer 1

I agree with you! People have their own rights and opinions!

Answer 2

I think that what a person does with their personal life - as long as it is not illegal or violating anyone else's rights - is their business. And I think they should be allowed to marry legally if they so choose.

I think the current uproar about all of it is a joke. The "moral majority" has the Republican party wrapped around their crucifix, and because of that, the Republicans will cave to their pressure. But you can not legislate morality because there are no "hard facts" as to what it is. I mean, what is a sin? Adultry? Well, how many of the "preachers" now days have committed that sin? And as long as you confess, or atone for it, you get into heaven. So what restriction does a "sin" really have?

And you can not pass a law that homosexuality is "icky" so it should be illegal. What is "icky" in the legal sense? What is icky to one person is not to another. So how is it defined?

So the "marriage" angle will continue to be the place where the line is drawn due to the fact that "marriage" is still technically a religious ceremony. Most religions has homosexuality as a sin, and very wrong. They aren't going to allow homosexuals to adopt their ceremony. So the Republicans can still make the "moral majority" happy.

Answer 3

I personnaly am in support of gay marrige, even though I am not gay. However, when our founding fathers said that all men were to be created equal, they were missing a lot of views. They were talking about white males who owned properity. Back 230 years ago, they did not have gays as we do today. In the terms of marriage, it gets a little fuzzy. As the government has, there is a seperation between church and state. Religions should be allowed to choose if they will accept homosexuality. On the otherhand, homosexuals should be allowed to get married at a public legal institute, as long as 1 of them is a resident from that state. Since our government is our representatives, they should be standing up and not denying their own people from what they want, because it is within reason.

Answer 4

Once again, Coragryph is misleading people with a dubious legal argument. The issue is not one of pure gender-discrimination. That is ridiculous.Gender discrimination means that a woman (as an individual) is being treated worse than a man (as an individual) because of her gender. Or that all women are being treated worse than all men. Our nation's bans on same-sex marriage (common law, statutory law, or constitutional law) treat women and men exactly the same way. No one may get married to someone of the same sex. This rule treats both sexes exactly the same way.

The bans on same-sex marriage do not discriminate on the basis of sex, they discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. A "hypothetical" example of gay man and a lesbian wanting to get married to one another -- like the example you were talking about -- is a deceptive little game that confuses the issue. If such a couple walks into a registrar's office where marriage licences are issued and asks for one, the first thought on everyone's mind would be that they are heterosexual.

This society has always discriminated against homosexuality and that includes the issue of same-sex marriage. Don't call that discrimination something that it isn't. To do so is just plain deceptive. And this society has always discriminated against homosexuality for at least three reasons -- 1) moral beliefs learned from religious doctrine, 2) the non-religious understanding that the human race needs to reproduce and homosexual behavior doesn't contribute to that, and 3) just plain ol' "homophobia."

Answer 5

Are you distinguishing gay marriage from any other same-sex marriage? It's a relevant issue.

A gay man and a lesbian woman can get married, even if they never have sex, so sexual orientation is not the deciding fact. A man and a women of any sexual orientation can get married without ever having sex, so it has nothing to do with reproduction.

The bottom line is that the laws against same-sex marriage are gender-based discrimination. They don't discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, they just prohibit two people of the same gender from gaining state/federal benefits.

A man and a woman, who never have sex and will never reproduce, can get married and receive the state and federal benefits of that status.

But two straight women, both of whom will only have sex with men, cannot get married to obtain the state and federal benefits for themselves and any children the have.

Whether homosexuality is morally right or wrong is irrelevant. Religious doctrines are completely invalid as a legal justification for secular laws. But what the laws banning same-sex marriage do has nothing to do with homosexuality or sexual orientation.

They just are gender-based discrimination. And that's not allowed under our constitution.

Answer 6

Gay marriage is wrong. If they get to get married, what will be left for the rest of us to hold dear? Marriage is between a man and a woman. Gays have parades, protest, and a gay pride day. What is left for the rest of us who are not. Tell me something, what would the gay community do if straight people demanded a straight pride day or wanted a parade? They would scream and yell. They will say that it is not right. I have nothing against gays having all those things, but I believe that they should leave marriage to the rest of us and leave it at that.

Answer 7

Okay..Okay.. First of all.. We should be allowed to be married. So the person who said "HELL NO" is wrong. If it's wrong for us to be gay, and get married, then why did God make us? If its forbidden to be gay, then why are we still here? Did we choose to be gay? No. Did we get a say in this? No. People always feel that its right to prejudice someone just because of their sexual orientation like if we're covered in some deadly desease or something.

To those who disagree with me, let me tell you what is wrong.

-The war on terrorism
-discrimination against people who look middle eastern
-the whole taking care of Katrna incident
-Underage girls having sex
-People having unprotected sex
-Abortions
-Priests having sex with young boys
and a whole lot more

Answer 8

Hopefully one day in america the law will be lifted up on gay marriages. I am a straight person hoping that one day everyone will be treated equally. That will only happen when hell blows over.

Answer 9

This question is very political!!!!
You are talking about spiritual morals as well. Remember America is supposed to be a GOD fearing country. It is only on the US money that it says in God we trust. If you trust in God, then trust in the Bible as well. The Bible is God's standard by which man is supposed to live. God gave Adam a woman not a man!!! Also the bible speak out about Sodom (sodomites) homosexuality and all that...
