Answer 2

Well, I assume you want to hear from people who do not agree with you, beacuse you asked to understand. If you want to know why I am against this, it is because it is a sin. God is very clear on that, regardless of how some people try to twist it so that it looks like God is just OK with everything, and people's attitudes are the real problem. If were up to me I would love the truth to be that everyone is OK, there isn't any real right or wrong, everyone goes to heaven, etc. But God is in charge and He says no. I try to understand why, and I look at how He set things up and I see that marriage is not just about 2 people loving each other, it is also a model for teaching us things about ourselves and about Christ. The differences between men and women are good and there for a reason. I don't think we see everything clearly right now. I don't believe that gays are evil and I am not a homophobe. I also know that we all sin and we are not to be going around judging people and then doing evil ourselves - we are all sinners. But in saying that, also we should not make sins legal and acceptable. Already we have made living together, sex before marriage, and divorce so common that people no longer see it as a sin. And we have to live in a society that no longer supports marriage and faithfulness and being chaste until marriage - that makes it hard to stay pure, stay married and raise your kids to get married and stay married. In an attempt to raise my children by God's standards I do not want to live in a society that scoffs at His laws. Already we see this attitude that gays are normal and fine creeping into movies and TV and such. I don't want to watch a movie that has 2 girls kissing, or where one of the main characters has to be gay to make it seem normal. I don't want to have that be normal, because it is saying that it is not a sin. And soon the world will be more and more comfortable with the behavior and it will be everywhere. It will be in cartoons and Disney films. I understand how most people will disgree, say that it is not a sin, how gays can't help it, they are born that way, etc. Even if you are born with a certain bent to a certain sin, that doesn't make it right. Some people are naturally violent and some are naturally drunks. I'm not a racist - all people are God's children, but there is right and wrong. If you want to be truly fair and say it is not a sin, you should also say that they should never have sex before marriage, because this is another of God's laws. The same standard should apply to all. So do you know any gays who want to be married who have never had sex? I know my answer will not be popular. Please respect it anyway, because you asked for our reasons.

Answer 3

The big deal is too many people confuse LEGAL Marriage with Religious Marriage.

One supplies legal benefits, protections and rights while the other only supplies the religious "blessings" of the church where it occurred and the religious community therein.

There are already many churhces who will and do "bless" same sex unions, so that's a moot issue. Legal marriage does not force any specific church or religion to sanctify or "bless" any specific couple.
These are TWO completely seperate things!

Atheists are allowed to legally marry, no one throws a huge fit over two people who don't :"Believe" or attend any church at all. But as soon as two people of the same gender want to get married, legally, all "hell" breaks loose.

It makes no sence.

Marriage, in today's society, is NO more for "making families" than any other union. Most of the children concieved today aren't done so within marriages anyway. Not to mention the fact that just because a person is gay doesn't make them sterile or unable to concieve. Being a gay/lesbian couple has no bearing on their ability to become parents.
So that idea is moot as well.

Gay/Same sex marriage won't threaten the idea of a "traditional" family since that idea is a myth anyway.
Just think about it, Jesus wasn't raised in a "traditional" family, he was raised by his mother and a STEP-Father!
The ideal of a "traditional" family is something cooked up by 1950's sit-com writers and censors.
Throughout history great leaders and role models were the products of "non-traditional" families. Grandparents raising their grandchildren, crack babies put into the Foster system, unwanted children put up for adoption, single mothers abandoned by their baby's fathers, children of divorce...all families are touched by these events in one way or another.
Children raised by same sex parents are no more different or special than any other children raised in any other "non-traditional" families.

Answer 4

2 people of the same sex cant technically be married since the first marriage was between a man and a woman set the precedence. They can be together even though it shows a general disregard for the will of GOD. But to call it a marriage is a mockery of the billions of people that have done it since adam & eve. Call it what it is, 2 people doing what the fcuk they want in the privacy of their own home. Why must they force us to recognize anything. I don't force people to recognize my marriage, they just do because it has been done since the beginning of time. Gays & lesbians have always done what they want, why are they in our faces now.

Answer 5

I think that if two people love each other than it should not matter what gender they are.To each their own. Everyone has the right to be happy, & people should worry about something else besides who wants to marry who.We need to start worring about other more urgent matters like our Soldiers dying & getting hurt in Iraq or maybe about the "Animals" that are molesting & killing our children,or the working people not making enough $ to support our families.If gays want to marry have them go through counseling like men 7 women go through to get married.

Answer 6

I think gay marriage should be legal, but in other cases, religious people are very offended by it because it goes against their very beliefs in the bible, although as I said before, I don't share this opinion. Gay marriage all the way

Answer 7

I believe gay marriage should be legal. What exactly are they harming? There are more important things that our government should be concerned with than a gay couple getting married.

Answer 8

it is very unnatural stuff. marriage reperesnts stability and main purpose of marriage in society is to have a family. being gay is unhealty, you should have the courage and enough ability to love the opposite sex. and not make lives complicated.

Answer 9

Exactly..."what is the big deal?".

Answer 10

Yep. If two people love each other, who are we to say no?
