Question for those who are against gay marriage: If you had a gay child would you support gay marriage?

Question

Why or why not? Or would your religious views overshadow your own child's happiness?

Answer 1

No, I wouldn't. Homosexuality is an abomination to God.

Answer 2

Or let's take the opposite approach - If you were a gay couple and had a streaight child would you support straight marriage?

The fact is neither question is relevant in a free and democratic country where people are free to choose their partners in life, marry them and raise their children without prejudice. When we all stop hating and work together to make this place a world of peace and happiness by forgetting to put others down for their beliefs, colour, religion, sexual orientation, gender, etc. then we might just have heaven on earth.

Answer 3

If I had a child who was gay I wouldn't support gay marriage just like if I had a child who was prone to violent behavior I wouldn't support legalizing murder. Homosexuality goes against the natural design of men and women. It is a perversion of nature and until the last 50 years or so it was classified as a symptom of a mental illness.

Don't get me wrong here. I'm not out to "bash gay people". I feel sorrow and compassion for them just like I would for someone who was born with a debilitating birth defect. I know that what I just wrote isn't what many "gay" people want to hear. They want to hear that what they do is acceptable and at least for them "normal". But it isn't compassionate to tell someone with cancer that everything is OK and it isn't compassionate to go along with the lies that pervade today's society where harmful and unnatural behaviors are just written off as falling into the category of "relative truth" where what one person believes is true may not be what another person believes is true and both can exist without one being false. That's known as living in denial.

Answer 4

a million. Marriage is between one guy and one woman. Gays can get married under this rule A. No, the Bible documents polygamy it does not help it. The Bible does not ward off blacks from being married 2. they might desire to have their very own legal union. it is going to be a large number in the event that they are able to get married. call it some thing else, God will on no account supply His blessing to a gay marriage A. all of us have our inclinations. I wager toddler molesters and section takes of bestiality has it of their genome. difficulty-loose experience? 3. i might have been genuine disillusioned if my mum and dad might have made me bypass with the aid of their gay existence style A. And who're " we"? 4. i do no longer want to be sure gayness everywhere A. all of us are the comparable race, Adam's 5. No way. A. I witnessed marriage from the youngsters a million. they actually ought to have their very own legal association. they have the comparable rights, they desire extra 2. we are actually not here to be chuffed. God needs us to p.c. character over convenience. God's be conscious is the comparable for them. i desire them to be able to guard their toddlers NO, promptly human beings can not marry who ever they desire: they can't marry various spouses, they can't marry an animal, they can't marry a sibling, they can't marry a toddler, they can't marry a married person..it relatively is a can of worms this comprehensive gay marriage subject.

Answer 5

Many Many years ago, as a child in the schoolyard us boys would gather and discuss our 'what if' futures.
One question we asked was if we had a son what would make us disown him. The 2 things were if he grew up to be a homosexual or if he grew up to be a child molester or rapist, some boys swore they would take their child's life if he grew into any of these.
That was then, homosexuality was illegal, taboo and very underground.
Now half a century later society has changed, homosexuality whilst still distasteful to many heterosexual men, is no longer taboo but a valid lifestyle choice (IE. you no longer have to hide). We are able to get our rocks off anyway we want, as long as we do not harm others. But still if my son came home and said "hey Dad I'm gay and I want to marry my boyfriend". I would be deeply disappointed. The difference now is that i would have to accept this and support him because I have no right to foist my beliefs on him. He is my son and I love him, end of story.
But if he ever touched a child or commit ed rape I'd kill him without question.

Answer 6

I guess I would support whatever made my child happy, even if I didn't share his or her views. Gay marriage, like anything else that is counter to society, can be viewed in a different light depending on the circumstances and the individuals involved. I don't have children who are gay, but I have always learned that the best way to have a fulfilling relationship with my daughters is to keep my mind open and my mouth shut. I hope that answers your question.

Answer 7

i live in Spain and in here since last year it is possible for us gay people to get married and have the same rights like any other married couple...At the beginning the church people and their followers were saying that it was unacceptable and went on the streets and did all the stuff this untolerant people are supposed to do, after a certain time they began to change their attitude (i suppose it was because all these demonstrations were led by a political party and they realised that by doing that they were losing possible votes) and saying that it was more or less ok but what they dont want is this kind or marriage to be called marriage because it has nothing to do with heterosexual marriage (stupid thing to say but they had to say something)...After one year no one is talking about that anymore...I dont think many people began accepting it all of a sudden but now it is not a subject for discussion anymore

Answer 8

First and foremost, being gay was never an OPTION! It is ,you, or not! This BI- crap, really is bullshit! If you are gay you knew that at 7,8, or 9! Had nothing to prove to the world, but I know you have sufferered much! People are so cruel, and the less they know, the meaner they get! So sad for them! My Religious views would NEVER overshadow my Child's happiness,ever! TO EACH HIS OWN!

Answer 9

If I have a child who turns about to be gay and wanted a gay marriage I would support them but I would let them know as I would anyone getting married what the pitfalls of disrespect are and that fidelity and privacy are essential.I would respect their views
provided they respected mine.I would point out the benefits of a very private service.

Answer 10

I most definitly will get thumbs down from all the bible beaters, but:

I'm straight, but I guarentee you that all of those poeple who are against gay marriage...the fathers would just become the basic guy who ignores their gay sons completely. So they will grow up with fathers who are physically present, but emotionally dead.

I see this happen with fathers who have straight sons. They don't like something about them, or feel they don't have the ability to comunicate well with them so they become emotionally distant.

Oh...and some women do the same crap.

AND for the guy above me; I don't want to puke either. But if I don't want to be a hypocrite, I'd have to deal with seeing them buy things for the babies at Walmart. It's the same as when whites believed blacks were just animals, and even had seperate water fountains. Whites wanted to puke then on site of a black person just being human. Now blacks are accepted. So F*CK that, I ain't no hypocrite like the lot of you's.

Answer 11

I would love my child no matter what, but I'd also love and obey God no matter what so if God says homosexual relationships are wrong, I couldn't possibly support my child on a gay marriage as I wouldn't support him if he wanted to do any other thing that would cause him to sin.
