Well I feel that marriage should be about love, and not race, religon,ancestory, or gender. God created love so I have no problem with gay marriage. I just wanted to ask...Why are do soo many people hate it? Like its some huge sin?
Why shoudl some tell others how to live their life.
I also wanted to see if any of you were able to go on

People are against gays for 2 reasons:
1. They are ignorant, incapable of making their own judgements, and therefore easily influenced by church or other rhetoric spouters.
2. They are afraid they may be gay themselves!

It is not about ignorance, fear, prejudice or anything else except for religious reasons for most people. The bible does have numerous statements against sexual relations between members of the same sex. You can look on Wikipedia and read for yourself.
FYI - you can still live together and commit to another person without marriage and just think how lucky you are not to have to spend money on divorce attorneys. You can also legally designate power of attorney and will assets to anyone you choose. The days of pensions are really numbered so that doesn't matter much, many companies make spouses pay for their own health insurance and there really are not huge tax benefits for married couples, it is only a few thousand dollars of deductions a year for dependents. It really comes down to a religious ceremony and it clearly goes against religious doctrines.

Thank you for your kind words. People are scared of losing there place in society. If they let gay marriage happen then their no long perceived as being better than or above us. They use that tired old bible thing but that's just a place for them to hide. Their scared and frightened. Bigotry is alive and well in America. There's always the need to hate it makes one feel Superior. That's really sad. Peace>>>

I would love the opportunity to marry my boyfriend. I have dreamed about the possibility for a long time now. To have him be able to legally adopt my kids would be fantastic!! Those that are opposed to the thought of gays getting married just need to back up and think about their own lives before they judge someone else. What happens in my bedroom is MY business and no one else. So to those that are opposed.......keep your selfish, ignorant, thoughtless and judging opinions to yourself and let me live my life!!

I think gay marriage should be allowed everywhere to everyone...its not like a disease or anything the homophobes just stop a deal with it...maybe they should move to a dictator country.. GOD DARN THEM!

Thanks Gabby. Some people are so damned miserable in their own lives they are repulsed not just by gays, but by anyone who might find happiness where they never will.
People moan about "gay rights". There is no such thing. There is however "equal rights for gays." And equal we should all be.

The practice of homosexuality is destructive to the human soul. God makes it clear that homosexuality is a sin (Leviticus 18:22; 20:13; Romans 1:26–27; 1 Corinthians 6:9; Jude 1:7; 1 Timothy 1:10; Revelation 21:8). Supporting gay marriage is a sin because it means to support homosexuality and the perversion of Holy Matrimony. If a nation legalizes gay marriage, that nation will be cursed.
Homosexuality is caused by iniquity. Iniquities (tendencies that cause one to sin) pass down the generation line (Numbers 14:18). When one accepts Lord Jesus as their Saviour, God forgives their sins and removes their iniquities (evil tendencies) in the subsequent transformation process which makes one more and more like Christ.
2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Hebrews 9:12-14
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Titus 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
After genuinely accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour, ALL sinners (those who practice homosexuality, alcoholics, liars, drug addicts, fornicators etc.) will be saved and transformed. Each believer is cleansed by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and receives the infilling of the Holy Spirit who renews them.
REDEMPTION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH
Because mankind is incapable of meeting God’s standard of perfection necessary to abide in God’s presence (Romans 3:19-20,23), God sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the total debt for the believer’s sins and mercifully credits to his account Christ’s righteousness (Romans 3:21-28,5:1-11; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21). Jesus’ gracious act of atonement was complete and covers all sin (Colossians 2:13-14; 1 John 1:9). Salvation is not based on good deeds but according to the mercy of God (Titus 3:4-5). Believers are justified by faith; it is a gift by God’s grace (Romans 4:3-8; Ephesians 2:8-9). A true, living faith will result in a desire to live a holy, loving life of good works (Ephesians 2:10; Galatians 5:6; James 2:14-26), but failure to be absolutely successful at righteous living does not negate the believer’s justified status.
If you sincerely say this prayer, your sins will be washed away, you will be redeemed to God, be saved from eternal torment and inherit the Kingdom of God:
"Dear Jesus,
I am a sinner.
I repent of my sins.
Please forgive me and save me by your shed blood;
come into my heart.
I want to receive you as my own personal Lord and Savior.
Amen"
