What would you do?

Question

I am not gay but I have friends and family that are. If the roles were reversed and you could not get married because you were not of the same sex and you wanted to be able to support your bf and child financially, medically and in other ways that only people of the same sex could how would you feel? Think about it.

"
If you were gay and wanted to support each other, what is to stop you? That's why they have Will's. You don't have to be married to have a contract. But I must add that was not God's plan for humans"

There are wills but a will can not support your family medically can it? I am talking about support while you are alive not dead.

For Sunshine and others who might do the same. FOR THE LAST TIME PLEASE STOP TELLING ME TO READ BIBLE VERSUS AS I AM NOT CHRISTIAN I AM WICCAN WAS CHRISTIAN BUT CHANGED FAITHS.

Answer 1

It would suck. I can see no legitmate secular purpose to banning gay marriage. It is clearly motivated by religion alone, and is thus unconstitutional.

Answer 2

as a Christian who thinks there might be consequences unwanted caused by practicing the gay life, and I say that because there are parts of scripture I thought no longer applied and disobeyed years latter to see I caused pain to people I loved, I say this. Most people are unaware of the benefits that heteros get that the gay couples desire and I think any two people living together in a committed way should get equal benefits. I think women should get equal pay for equal work and if they want a career they should have that opportunity. I also see this. When women work kidz get a poorer quality of life. People born after 1970 can not appreciate that as much. When two people in a family work then as it works out eventually it takes 2 wages to support a family where it used to take one. Although the old guys told us this would happen nobody listened and here we are with many unwanted consequences.
Marriage being the subject what I think is that making same sex life an acceptable life style is going to have results we do not expect. One consequence of this is the political party who supported gays was also the supporter of labor and because they supported gays they lost an election and well look at what that caused, and will we ever get out of this with our skins intact.

So here is what I want to point out.

WHEN A GROUP OF PEOPLE APPROACH A FORK IN THE ROAD IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA FOR A SLIM FEW TO VENTURE DOWN THE NEW ROAD AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. tHEN A SECOND GROUP SEEING WHAT HAPPENED CAN MAKE SOME CHANGES AND GO DOWN THAT ROAD AND SO ON UNTILL WE HAVE IT FIGURED OUT..

we all had this explained to us by the old folks in the 60's and we decided to force integration and I think because that was done we now have made very little progress and the reason is because we forced an issue people were not ready for. Had we gone slow and experamented around some I would bet we would have a better situation now,, but I am just an old watcher what do I know

Answer 3

What if question's that are not possible have no purpose. I would openly rebel against any society that hindered heterosexual practice for the pure sake of preserving the species. To think that there could ever be one is ludicrous.

Please don't direct your anger at any religious institution because there is no need for their to be one involved in the gay marriage debate.

Homosexuality is a psychological deviance from normal healthy behavior and should never be treated as anything more than a perversion of the mind. This was actually a classified deviant until the 1970's when it became too politically incorrect for psychologist to have that opinion. Maybe people should be putting a little more research into this subject instead of just blindly accepting homosexuality as normal and natural.

Note: Just because some Romans were homosexual doesn't make it any less of a disease. All that proves is that the disease has been around for quite some time.

Answer 4

Legally denying marriage to same sex couples is wrong, period. Our government is in no position to make moral decisions for our nation that in no way infringe on someone else's safety. They are so worried that Christians might be offended or have to learn some tolerance for others that they just outlaw it. Eventually this country will be forced to recognize gay marriages because of the way our constitution is written. This isn't Vatican City, it's the United States where people are supposed to be free from intolerance, and where people are supposed to have equal rights.

Answer 5

If you were gay and wanted to support each other, what is to stop you? That's why they have Will's. You don't have to be married to have a contract. But I must add that was not God's plan for humans.

Answer 6

I have family and friends who are gay. It is not my place to judge them or their lifestyle choice, but I totally agree that the union of marraige should be between a man and a woman. But why cant there be a legal commitment of 2 people. Just as there is legal seperation and divorce. So should there be a legally binding contract but not a marriage. With all the different types of any one given item we deal with each day why can there be a different type of legally bound union. If 2 people are sharing a life and home I agree they should have the abillity to have the perks of insurance and all that goes with have a loving companion to share everything with.

Answer 7

Empathy requires compassion and life experience.......I wish you luck in conveying the concept to people who are convinced of their own moral superiority and lack compassion for anyone who they consider immoral.

EDIT: Do not let it affect your serenity; just understand where they are coming from.

Christianity teaches that God loves you (compassion) BUT if you don't follow the rules (sin) you are punished forever (no compassion).

Even though it doesn't use those words it is the lesson that is taught. It also teaches that people do not have the power or the right to relieve suffering caused by breaking the rules, only God does.

This sets them up to feel sorry for you having to suffer because you are not following the rules (sinning) but precludes empathy and compassion by allowing them to believe it is God’s will and they do not have the power nor the right to alleviate that suffering.

Answer 8

Okay maybe i am confused but the way i am getting this is that you are saying that because one is gay they cant support their family? WHY NOT?? I am TOTALLY agaisnt gays because of my belief in GOD. Yes I also have family that is gay but I just ask the Lord to put conviction upon their lifes. I don't mistreat them and I love them with all my heart but I do tell them that how they are living if wrong and they are doomed for hell. But that is my opion and BELIEF Read 1 corinthians 6:7 all the way through chapter 7

Answer 9

I bet the answer would *not* be "meekly retreat to my closet, apologize for causing all the trouble, break up with my partner, and convert." The Religious Right seems to have that unrealistic expectation for those of us who are same-sex married.

Answer 10

If that were the case then same sex relationships would be "the norm" so I'm sure I would be automatically be in a same sex relationship...this is all hypothetical
