DO YOU AGREE WITH GAY MARRIAGe?????

Answer 1

sure!

Answer 2

I'm all for it.

I mean, I want everyone to imagine this scenario: You, as a heterosexual adult, want to marry your long-term partner, who is an adult, who is the only person you want marry, who loves you and wants to marry you, too. When you decide to get married, the government steps in, and states that because some other people who have different religious beliefs than you don't like the idea of you two marrying, the government will not allow the marriage to take place. This would be unjust, right? It would be a violation of your rights, right? It would be the government stepping too far into controlling your private life, right? You'd be pretty angry, right?

I think every heterosexual would be furious to have this happen to them, yet every day they let it happen, or encourage it to happen to homosexuals. If it's a violation of civil rights when it happens to a heterosexual, it must also be when it happens to a homosexual. I hope someday people will think of homosexuals as people just like themselves and end this travesty of banned marriages.

Answer 3

Yes, if you are against Gay Marriage do not marry a gay person.

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

I actually dont have any opinion on it at all..I dont believe anyone except the people involved in the marriage should have an opinion on their marriage because it doesnt affect them in any way ...they dont pay your bills , live your life, deal with your stresses, work for your paycheck..nothing at all so why is it anyone elses business who anyone chooses to sleep with, marry, or live with ...let them be them and you be you

Answer 6

Absolutely

There is no valid reason that it shouldn't be allowed.

I have heard all kinds of arguments against it. I am going to take the time to go over each of them.

1. Why now?
-Because it is called progression just as our society progressed and decided that blacks had a soul and were considered human beings with the same civil rights. Also, there are finally hate crimes laws protecting gay ppl in their protest; whereas, these protections did not exist before.

2. This country was based on Christian values.
-Sure it was but once again those Christian values had errors just like in #1 that we, as a society, have corrected. Those corrections are based on unconstitutionally hindering a minority's civil rights.

3. Our forefathers meant for our laws to follow the church and the 1st admendment doesn't really say separation of church and state.
- I love this one because I love it when a person tries to tell me what the forefathers were thinking. Here is a quote by Thomas Jefferson on this issue, "...I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State."

Pay close attention to that last line..."thus building a wall of separation between Church and State"

So there is it. That is what the forefathers WERE THINKING = separation of church and state.

4. Why do gays want special rights?
- This one is laughable. It is the heterosexuals that have the speical rights because they are straight. We want equal rights. We want the same inheritance rights, next of kin rights, health benefits rights, foreign spouse citizenship rights, tax dependent rights, etc....

We will gladly withdraw our argument/protest if heterosexual ppl will give up their special rights. They can still have their sacred marriages in their churches but just not be given special rights by the state that other tax-paying citizens are not allowed to have.

5. The majority is against gay marriage.
- First of all that statistic is incorrect. It is currently about 50/50. But even it were, that is completely invalid. We do not have a dictatorship where majority rules. Our country was designed to protect minority groups from mass control. If this were not the case, slavery would still exist and schools would still be separated, as well as, women not being allowed to vote.

6. It is not natural.
- How many of these ppl with this argument have performed oral sex? I'd be willing to bet the majority. Absurd argument and being gay is not about sex. It is about a the relationship and bond between two adults of the same sex.

7. Gay ppl will raise gay children.
- absurd. It has been proven that gay parents tend to raise more emotional children that tend to be more open-minded and secure with their own sexuality.

8. It will influence my children to be gay.
- Once again absurd. It is up to each parent to teach their values to their children. To teach their children what is right or wrong from what they believe. There are plenty of what we consider 'negative' influences in society that it is the parent's responsibility to discuss with their child. You can not hinder a tax-paying citizen's civil rights just because you don't want to take responsiblity for teaching your children your beliefs.

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

for me personally no BUT I also believe we are in a FREE country and we are to have a seperation of church and stste therefor saying that it is not ok due to ones beliefs is wrong. It should be allowed by law

Answer 9

um yes. I mean, it's basically discrimination not to allow it, and i don't see why people are opposed to it. If they can give me one good reason to be opposed to gay marriage, I might change my mind, but so far I haven't heard any good reasons.

Answer 10

Not my issue or problem unless I am choosing to gay marry. Too many people spend too much time worrying about too many things that aren't they business or problem.

Answer 11

No, I'm not a democrat. They like boys & boys.
If gays want a life together, and have wills to each other, it's fine.
But not called marriage. That's one male & one female.
(Sorry, Democrats.)
