Gay Marriage??

Question

Gay marriage..
Right or Wrong..
Ok if you think its right, should gay couples be able to have children?

Answer 1

Marriage for gays, wrong. Marriage is a religious term and to institute gay marriage would be forcing the religious masses to "marry" gay couples, if the government intwine can force such because of the discrimination clauses. Gay civil unions, morally wrong, but I cannot see how my faith can intwine with the governemnt of this land (which is ungodly and wordly) to force my morals on the masses. Secondly, no, gays should not be able to adopt children for the best interest of the children. Regardless of what your faith is, it is a proven fact that children need both a male and a female figure to grow up healthy and to be the best they can be.

Throw the rotten fruit now if you wish.

Answer 2

Of course it's right. I see people saying no because it's a sin or for religious reasons but you know what? So is sleeping with someone before marriage. No one is shamed for that. So is lying. We do it all the time. And I'm sure there is many more sins that you commit every day that you won't be shamed for so why is two people of the same sex being married wrong? Yes gay couples should be able to have children. Heterosexual couples who can't make babies can adopt and all that so I don't see why homosexual couples can't. And to the people who say kids need a mother and a father figure: what about the kids who grow up with JUST father or JUST a mother? Those people grow up with no mother figure or no father figure and they turn out alright. I think the real question is why everyone else in the world gets to decide if it's okay for you to love who you love.

Answer 3

There is nothing wrong with gay marriage. Apparently everyone is equal in the eyes of God to all those Christian homophobes out there. And if being gay is apparently a sin, let me tell you something, so is lying and that's you're doing when you're saying gay marriage is wrong. Gay people should also be able to adopt children etc. because yes it is BETTER to have both a male and female figure as parents surely having two people of the same sex as parents is BETTER than having no parents.

Answer 4

Gay marriage is completely fine. Some people just don't support it because it's different or because it goes against their religion, which is fine, but some people take it too far and hate on gay people. And I think gay couples can have children, there isn't anything wrong with that, as long as they treat the child right, just like any other happy couple would. Hope that helped!

Answer 5

As a person who has a gay friend who I have known for years, it doesn't matter if your gay or straight as long as you love each other an want too spend your entire lives together then of course Gay Marriage should be allowed and for gay adoption yes of course who are we to judge I hear people say that only straight couple should adopt when it's straight people in the first place who
gave away their child up for adoption...

Answer 6

The gay marriage battle is a fascinating one -- and the battle itself frightens me, though not for any reason you might expect.

The gay marriage fight is really a battle between two groups of religious denominations - Christian and other in both cases. That battle is being missed by the media, and I believe that the battle threatens democracy in America.

One of the reasons for the Revolution, in which ancestors of mine fought -- was to establish freedom of religion in the new nation. Now, we are throwing that away, because contrary to what those on the Right would like you to think, this is not a battle between "people of faith" and "atheists" or some such -- this is a battle between two groups of people of faith, using the government to establish one sides views -- the EXACT THING that the anti-establishmentarian clause of the Constitution is there to prevent.

Of course no one should "make" those whose faiths oppose gay marriage perform such marriages, and no one ever would. So ministers from the Southern Baptists and Assemblies of God and Ultra-Orthodox Jews and Fundamentalist Muslims should never be asked to perform gay marriages, and certainly not forced to.

On the other hand, why should faith groups that support gay marriage -- such as the United Church of Christ, the Unitarian/Universalist Society, the North American Spiritualist Church, Reform Judaism, and the Correllian Tradition of Wicca -- all recognized Churches and 501c3s be barred from practicing their religious faith, which says it is ok to marry same sex couples?

The first group of faith groups is realistically using the government to prevent the second group of faith groups from practicing what they believe. The founders tried to prevent this, for the stability of the country. It doesn't matter that everyone "thinks" they are right and others are wrong -- it matters that we are plural as a society and the government should recognize everyone's ceremonies the same -- which means that gay marriages committed by churches and faith groups that believe in gay marriages, should be honored by the government regardless of what groups that don't like it say.

Everyone's beliefs can be honored, thus preserving the values that my 12 times removed Great Grandfather died for -- but not if we allow one side to legislate away the rights of the other side.

And that's what I think.

Answer 7

Gay marriage is an amazing thing and I think it should be allowed. They should also be able to have kids. Being gay is something you can't help, you can't change it. So why should people that are born this way be treated any differently than anyone else?

Answer 8

I think you should be allowed to marry who you want. If religious people don't want it to happen then they don't have to come or even be your friend.

This is from the point of view of a 14-year-old- I was raised by a single parent all my life and the parent I didn't live with died when I was 13, and let me tell you I would much rather have gay parents than a dead one. So yes, gay people should be allowed to have kids. And I'd love to have gay parents, they'd be much more accepting is I ever turned out to be anything other than straight or my biological sex.

Answer 9

Homosexual, not gay, is terrible. Marriage is a religious matter and having a homosexual marriage is wrong as it is just committing a sin, it's living in one. Marriage is saying you are going to be with that person, only, for the rest of your life so you are saying to God that not only you are committing a sin he said is an abomination, you are saying you will always be committing it.

Homosexual people can not be married in a religious way as it goes against God in every way.

Answer 10

Seems so odd to me that with everything else going on in the world, people would spend so much time and energy trying to stop an act of committment and love, because honestly, that is all it is. Nothing more nothing less.

I think the bottom line for raising kids is the fact that they are being brought into this world by two individuals that want them more than anything else and are willing to pay up to 200k in some cases to make that happen. Sounds like a lot more committment than two teenagers in the back of a chevy.

Answer 11

Many people make Gay Marriage out to be a religious issue. Using that logic, do Christians want to disallow Muslims, Atheists, Jews, or members of other faiths to marry and have children?

With that said, I have many friends who are homosexual and the relationships that they have with their respective partners are just as loving and genuine as the relationship that I have with my girlfriend. For me to look into their eyes and call them detestable, abominable, sick, or without love is absolutely wrong. I guarantee you that God would not do that.

Marriage is between two people who love each other. Children should be able to be adopted by individuals who are in loving relationships. I believe homosexuality is purely genetic and that children raised in these relationships are healthy and normal. The best thing for Americans to do is make it easier on these couples and their children by accepting them as contributing members of our society.
