We were discussing this issue in Social Science class today (Critical Analysis of American Culture). My professor said that in his opinion that Gay Marriage is a dangerous social experiement. (I think that he must be the only conservative professor I know). The class erupted into an outright shouting match with the professor. The discussion elevated FAR BEYOND THE REALM OF HEALTHY ACADEMIC DEBATE.
That is really another subject. However, my question to you all is what are your thoughts do you think that Homosexual marriage is a danger to society, children and a threat to our culture or do you think that Gay Marriage is a long overdue acknowledgement of a minorities basic right to life, liberity and the persuit of happiness.
LET THE MADNESS BEGIN, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?????

I feel for those people. I really do.
But I would absolutely hate to see a homosexual couple living next door to me, and have my child raised next to them, and having to explain to him that it is pretty normal.
I don't know why... I don't hate any of them, but it seems to me that G-d created men to be with women, and not other men.

my thoughts are that well, I don't have much on this topic, since there really is no proof either way. I mean that it will hurt, or will not hurt society.
If i take all that aside though, and just do opinion, as a conservative, i see no reason why they should not allowed to be married unless, the above about it destroying society is true. The Greeks had marriage, and they were not Christian, so I don't see why it should be limited because of religion

Honestly, I don't care, but believe Civil Unions make more sense. It's still such a small percentage of the population anyway.
Yes I think it's a danger to society,especially children, if it's about a sexual choice, not a relationship choice. It's a threat/danger to society when we start to demand marrying ours dogs and eucalyptus plants too.
Sadly, I worry about their souls the most. Peace everyone.

I think we have far more important issues to deal with than to care if two homosexuals get married.
Instead of debating gay marriage, let's debate the means by which we can end the Iraq war, combat poverty, improve our education system, and end suffering in Darfur - as examples.
Why does anyone actually care if two gay people get married? It doesn't affect your marriage. Over 1/2 of marriages end in divorce now. I think that has to be worse for kids.

I'm pro. Why not? I mean they're just people. It's no more dangerous than heterosexual marriages. And as far as raising kids goes, I find They're are just as good with children as straits. It all comes down to the individual. Not their sexuality.

i think any 24/7 relationship is fraught w/inherent pronlems...
having said that i would think that a same sex marriage just may have the same problems and more.. i doubt that same sex marriage is a threat to society or culture..

Probably wouldn't affect most people's lives. I see nothing wrong with it. Why would I be concerned about who someone else wants to marry.

I think it wont change my life in the least so who cares. I am straight but in no way want to get married. If they want to get tied down then let them go for it, doesn't bother me any
