Answer 1

It shouldn't matter if they think it's "immoral".

Civil marriage laws don't exist to uphold the ideals which opponents want the institution to reflect, so the fact that, in their eyes, same sex marriage "violates" the institution is of no consequence when considering the legalization of same sex marriage.

Remember: there is no clause that requires people to be capable of procreation in order to marry. There is no written or unspoken requirement compelling each couple to enter into the contract with only those intentions that are considered "pure" or "proper". There is no small print at the bottom of the actual contract which states that every person involved in the union must behave, believe or live in any certain way (besides, of course, remaining faithful to their spouse, and even that bit is often disregarded in "open" marriage and no external force tries to obligate those marriages to dissolve).

The majority may feel that the institution SHOULD represent one certain concept (i.e. that it exists strictly for making families) or set of values (i.e. according to the Christian Bible) but marriage law and contracts have never translated that desire into any sort of obligation.

A man and a woman can and will get legally married for a myriad of reasons, good or bad, because they HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY. A man and a man or a woman and a woman deserve THE SAME OPPORTUNITY to make it work or do it for the same "good or bad" reasons.

Answer 2

i in my opinion believe they call it a life variety because they could't fathom being born with a decision to a similar sex - they call it a decision. In a way which will be authentic - i'm a woman and that i favor sex with adult men. you would call it a "heterosexual life variety" because it really is my determination. i have been fascinated in women also, yet I "pick" now to not have sex with them. i might want to've been born a heterosexual, who's conscious of? purely because that's no longer what society calls "the norm" that's were given to be a decision, because why would everybody pick to be gay and be a purpose for ridicule? you've were given a problematical question there. because there is such fairly some idiotic human beings available who save throwing their non secular beliefs into the arguement, that's now unlikely to be properly-referred to as "the norm." Homosexuality has been round because the sunrise of time. that's contained in the animal kingdom which includes the human species (which technically we are all aside of). Homosexuality is common, purely now to not the aholes who call it a "life variety."

Answer 3

The problem is that it is societal re-definition of marriage. Most folks who believe gay marriage should not be legal believe that because it is an oxy-moron. However, most of these folks believe that in a secular state, if homosexuals want to engage in that sin and have some sort of civil union that they should have a right to do so. If those pushing the gay agenda would push for civil unions instead of marriage (which would not require a re-defining of a social term), I think they would have an easier time of it. We tend to think in terms of poles, when the truth is that most folks are somewhere in the middle.

Answer 4

I think people are afraid of what they don't understand. They think that two men or two women cannot get married. Many justify this statement by saying that being married is simply for the benefit of having children. So, I wonder, if a married man and woman got married and didn't have children would their marriage be in vain as well? I don't know, but that's what I hear where I live. There are many Gay communtities in my area and I have no problem with it. Let them get married, then they can be just as miserable as the rest of us!

Answer 5

Marriage, like Baptism and Communion are Sacraments. Two of them have to be registered according to the secular legal system. They courts are to be witnesses. When the courts decided they would begin civil unions, the churches should tell them: Call your unions what you like. However because you cannot tell us who should have communion, who should be baptized, then you cannot tell us who should receive our holy matrimony sacrament and who qualifies. That is why the Constitution upholds the ancient Hebrew customs: priests come from the clan of Levi and had full jurisdiction over all spiritual affairs. Kings came from Judah and were responsible for all civil rule: Hence, the separation between church and state.

By the way: when a spirit that was in a person's grandma or great grandma decides to take up residence in a male heir and the urges that dead grandma has are being fulfilled by her grandson, I think you are doing them a great dis-service calling them GAY. They are sad and need deliverance and prayers.

Boaz.

Answer 6

I don't know what kind of nature you're using, but homosexuality happens ALL OF THE TIME in nature. Look around! Basically every species on Earth has documented cases of homosexuality among the members of that species.

Marriage is about LOVE and just because you don't understand it doesn't mean that you get to BAN it!

Answer 7

Ha, these fools can only shout "abomination to God, oh noes!1!" They can give no other answer, and any attempt to claim that homosexuality in "unnatural" can be easily thwarted with a simple five minutes of research on the Internet.

There ARE exclusively gay animals, people. This happens on its own in NATURE, therefore it is "natural," or occurring in nature.

That's the thing, it doesn't violate their rights in any way, it just offends them because their religion is stupid and bigoted, like many other dogmatic belief systems.

Answer 8

There is no "right" to get married. Homosexual, heterosexual. None. It is the decision of a society whether to recognize or acknowledge a relationship as "married." That society can be a church-based society (Catholic, Lutheran, Muslim, etc.) or geographic community (California, Indiana, USA, etc.)

The community, in this case a political/geographic community such as the states that voted it down or clearly specified marriage as between a man and woman, has decided that that phrase shall not apply to homosexuals. "We" tell people they can't smoke in public places, "we" tell people they can not gamble (unless it is run by "us" or licensed by "us").

Answer 9

Marriage in all religions races, tribes ans whatever all came about to provide a secure home to the raising of offspring.

Homosexuality is not normal and is almost unheard of in primitive tribes and therefore a product of westernised society. That is not to say we should persecute homosexuals, far from it. We should tolerate anything that does not interfere with other peoples lives.

But ask why do homosexuals have to get married? In many countries they have a civil partnership that could be made their own special thing. Why do they have to copy hetrosexuals when they claim to be so different?

I think confusion is probably the answer.

Personaly although not homosexual but completely tolerant of homosexuality I believe that to go for marriage would actually be bad for them and that they should stick to their main ideas and be completely different. After all most hetrosexual marriages result in divorce and missery!!!

Answer 10

tell me-- are their "behind closed doors" immoral or moral acts?

Is it right or is it wrong, their sexual actions?

look beyond and not just dwell on your emotions.

People can be blind of wrongdoings of men, because of being ignorant of moral laws and they don't know the definition of sin. *smile*

When we are complacent about sin, both for us and others, we don't really know if we truly belong to Jesus or not. Being Christian is not a license to sin because we think we are saved. If our excuse is that everybody sin anyway--- God has a surprise for us when we face Him on judgment day.
