Question

Amending the Consitution to bar gay marriage:Unnecessary and improper

WHat does this mean?? i need some home work help and i cant figure out if this statment means im pro gay marriage or gay marriage is wrong

Answer 1

It means, with the war, the economy & lack of health care
in this country, gay marriage should be the least of
anyone's worries.

Answer 2

Your statement/question is ambigiouous,neither for or against.BUT heres the problem: think of marriage between one man and one woman as being inside a 1 inch box in the middle of a 4X4 foot piece of cardboard.Once you get outside the box...you have all the room in the world ! But there are no boundaries...once you redefine marriage you MUST allow marriage between 2 men and a goat and 5 heads of cabbage,or a man and a 12 year old boy,or a woman and a parrot. There is then NO stopping point,and if you think pedifiles are not the next ones to demand equality....you're in denial.This movement really is not about gay rights,its about the destruction of the family unit.

Answer 3

Congress is limited in its powers by the Constitution. But it has some leeway, under the Articel I Section 8 "Necessary and Proper" clause. The title is a pun on that doctrine.

The only way to ban same-sex marriage nationally would be a constitutional amendment, since Congress cannot do it directly. Why? Because Congress is limited in its powers by the Constitution.

Answer 4

As I understand it, Our country bases a lot of its rules and regulations on the Bible. I am going to try to look at this situation from the standpoint of an unbiased observer.

Now, what is the reason for marriage to begin with? According to moral standards, a man and a woman should not just live together , and have sex, unless they are first married. God preformed the first marriage ceremony. And he married a man to a woman, not a woman to woman or man to man.

I dont know why same sex( man to man, woman to woman) would want to get married. Unless its to get a cut on their income taxes.

Gay marriage is not necessary. Men can live together without sexual undertones . A lot of communities still believe that a unmarried woman and unmarried man should not live together. Even if no sex was involved, it just doesnt sit well with many people, the opposite sexes shacking together.

I dont approve of Gays myself telling people they have sexual affairs with each other. Marriage though is for the man-woman relationship. Period

Answer 5

Heterosexual people do more to undercut the institution of marriage than homosexuals possibly could.
They want to amend the constitution because they can get some political hay coming up with a wedge issue.

Answer 6

It means that it is uneccesary to ban Gay marriage, and that making any legislation doing so oversteps the bounds of the Constitution. Put simply, the government has zero constitutional right to acknowlege ANY marriage.

Answer 7

In a country that prides itself on 'freedom', only wackos would ask for a constitutional amendment that ensures discrimination against certain people simply because they hallucinate that their god tells them not to engage in such behavior.

Answer 8

The Constitution is a document that protects freedoms, not take them away to satisfy the prejudices of any group.

Answer 9

i think the Consitution is just fine the way it is

Answer 10

Yeah that's confusing because we know the gov. hates gays, yet that statement sounds like they are in favor of them? good luck
