Can anyone explain to me how allowing gays to marry will affect you negatively?

Question

is it the reduction in the spread of disease, the adoption of unwanted children, or are you protecting the insurance companies, cause let me tell you, they need the help, (if you say it is an abomination you will get a thumbs down)

now I will post in the religion catagory and see what they say

Answer 1

It doesn't affect my heterosexual marriage at all. There are no viable arguments other than religious ones (and they shouldn't even apply because of separation of church and state and not everyone is Christian.) Homosexuality is seen even in the animal kingdom,(particularly in primates) therefore it is obviously a natural variance.Besides sex is not just for procreation but also recreation. I am all for gay marriage, love between two consenting adults (regardless of sex) is better than hate any day!
EDIT: Pizza guy, we are talking about gay marriage, not incestuous marriage, 2 completely different things. Your comparison doesn't even make sense. Inbreeding in humans can result in mentally impaired children, which is one reason why it is against the law.
EDIT: Zigfield, your answer is a slap in the face to all couples who can't conceive for medical reasons, sure biological bonds are great, but a greater love is an uncondtional love. Some people have invitro fertilization by anonymous donors, are you suggesting their bonds would be any less to their children?
EDIT:Gorilla, your argument that it would lead to people marrying animals and inanimate objects is ridiculous, we are talking about "consenting" adults. Inanimate objects and animals could not give "consent". And I think an orphaned child would rather be raised by a loving gay couple then be left in an orphanage. Also AIDS is also spread by heterosexuals and needle-sharing drug users.

Answer 2

First of all, if I ever have kids I think seeing two dudes or two chicks getting married will send a message to them that being gay is normal. Second, it will affect society in a negative way, it will set a precedent that you can marry anybody or anything you want. Honestly what is next people marrying animals, or inanimate objects. Allowing gay marriage will make it a legitimate form of union. It will completely undermine the sacred act of marriage. It will affect me by degrading society. As for the reduction of disease that is ludicrous. Gay people can contract and spread STDs. In fact I believe that Aids was brought out of Africa by a gay person. And, if I were up for adoption I wouldn't want to be adopted by gay people. In short allowing gay marriage will give the world the impression being gay is normal when it is not, leading to erosion of society and culture which WILL AFFECT ME.

Answer 3

You are correct in stating that gay marriage probably won't affect someone personally and negatively however, what about the way the children they want to adopt will be treated by others who are not understanding? What about the ones who argue this is a religious thing but hey, isn't that marriage is defined as in the Bible? Is marriage not defined as a man and a woman in the Bible? If you don't want to relate it to a religious debate then don't call it marriage. I am not completely sure but I believe the seperation of Church and State was just an idea that came from a document in the 17th century and people take it out of context. I could be wrong however, I am not a history major. I personally am outraged at the ideas that were being thrown around in California to ban federal funding to religious schools if they continued to voice their opinion about the wrong-ness of homosexuality. Isn't that a double standard? Take away rights of one group and had them to another? Something in that line of reasoning causes me to be personally affected...

Answer 4

I am gay, and if the voters or the state legislatures proactively choose to give me the equal right to get married, then that will not affect my life negatively at all, it will be a very positive experience.

But if gay marriage is legalized because the judges purported to be interpretting either the U.S. Constitution or any state constitution as a guarantee of gay people's equal right to get married, then my life along with everyone else's is in for the worse. Because those judges are lying. The judges in Massachusetts were liars.

And lying IS an abomination.

Answer 5

A loving husband and wife who are fortunate enough to conceive and care for their children, as nature intended, are the greatest asset to any society. There is no greater bonds then biological ties, none. Homosexual couples deprive children of ancestry. How do you respond to a child's question of who is my dad, in the case of an anonymous sperm doner? It is unconscionable to deny any infant a loving mother and father.

Answer 6

ok... in case you anticipate some religions to settle for gay marriage, i wager you need to attend truly some centuries. though, that would favor to not be a difficulty for the society to comprehend some certain rights to gay couples (you may call it civil marriage, civil unions, besides the indisputable fact that), besides the indisputable fact that that is amazingly unhappy and unfair that 2 those who determined freely to stay at the same time and characteristic a courting won't be able to have some rights acknowledged, which includes the right to pick who to contain of their will, to stay the position they choose, and to get the same reward in words of insurance as the different couple would get. in words of adoption, there would nicely be circumstances in which there would nicely be extra efficient for little ones to have gay mother and father than having an abusing, rapist father and a abused, passive mom. i understand many gay adult males who will be more beneficial mother and father than a lot of abusive and irresponsible heterosexuals. base line, no it does not influence me, in civil words. besides the indisputable fact that that's diverse as asking some religions to contain gay marriage of their beliefs.

Answer 7

because it is wrong to have sex with married people, and running into two hottie females at the club who are married to each other would be a total bummer! especially when you have to say "NO" to going home with two females!

btw why is gay marriage an issue? any church can deny the service to anyone. if your church marrys a gay couple, take it up with the church board not the federal government!
Personally, I think gays should have the right to suffer with the rest of us!

Answer 8

Allowin' gays to marry gays is absolutely okay. When it's their lives, thus their decisions to make. But if gays marry galz, absotely selfish. Cuz watever reason these gays marry galz have, they haven't thought a bit about these galz they marry. How it hurts 'em. A bold-face lie should never happen. Be true to yourself n' not ashamed of bein' what you are.

Answer 9

Nope.

They marry all the time, as I understand it, the law just doesn't recognize it. I suspect it is about benefits and such. Our firm doesn't even cover kids as beneficiaries under our policies, much less spouses, so our firm probably wouldn't care either....

Answer 10

Why does the government get to decide what love is? Gay marriage is just another intrusion of the people's privacy by the feds. I'm suprised gays want it so bad.
