Answer 1

unfortuanetly for us the majority of america agrees with you, just like the majority once didn't believe blacks and women had the right to vote, but your grandchildren will live in a America where Gays can legally Marry, and your Ignorant Ideas will also be part of the past. P.S. Stop taking Steriods

Answer 2

I believe YOU believe it...more than that I cannot say. You are coming from a place that is very different than others, you have your past, your past learnings, etc. We all carry this baggage about as we go through life. IF you think about it, objectively, without bible in hand, without parents looking down on you, without church dictating how you feel, can you come up with one goooooood reason for your feelings? Personally, I am not involved with straight marriage, so I have no feelings about it one way or another...except that it has a monitary advantage at tax time...it didn't always, but it does today. Married people inherit in the event of the other's death. Should a gay couple who experiences the same thing lose all that they have spent a lifetime in putting together?
Do you really feel that children should be left in an orphanage, or worse, in the hands of many temporary "parents' who do this for money rather than a home which provide love, care, education, the whole gamit? Gay parents do NOT crank out gay children. Social studies has proven time and time again that gay parents are more often better parents than their straight counterparts. So where is the feeling coming from. I think that if you examine your feelings in the cold light of day, you may come to a different outlook. Perhaps yes, perhaps no. In either case, you are not homophobic, but I think that you might want to step back from your stance and take a really good look at what is going on in your head, and figure out why. Your feelings actually defy logic, and you seem to be relatively logical. Good luck

Answer 3

Of course I would not believe you. This makes no logical sense.
This means you would be saying "I don't have a problem with LGBT people" at the same time you are saying "I don't believe in giving LGBT people the equal rights they are entitled to under the US Constitution."
You can't have it both ways. These statements do not jibe.

People are born LGBT or straight. Neither natural sexual orientation is more "right" or "normal" than the other - they are just variations. Neither is a "choice."

In this country, as in most others, the 1000+ rights that go with a legal marriage are given by and administered by the STATE. When the STATE withholds any of these rights to citizens, it is discrimination, pure and simple. Religion has no say in a STATE matter.

I fail to see how giving equal rights to all is in any way diluting, vs. enriching, marriages involving straight people.

Children up for adoption should go to homes where they are wanted. Gender and sexual orientation does not enter into this equation.
In fact, given the work and bigotry that LGBT parents have to overcome, as evidenced here, I feel sure that children going to these homes are wanted 1000%. Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if all children were wanted this much?

Straight parents turn out LGBT children, and straight children, every day. LGBT parents do the same. Science backs this up, that there is no statistical significance correlating the sexual orientation of parents and their children, whether adoptive or birth children.

Answer 4

I completley believe that that's how you see your views. I would also point out that having no problem with gay people is a lot different from viewing them as equals. I have no problem with chickens, but I don't see them as equal human beings deserving of equal rights.

And if you believe that you DO see gay people as equals, then you're making an illogical statement that they are undeserving of equal marriage rights, and the right to raise children (and protect the children that, whether you know it or not, they are already raising through second-parent adoption).

Answer 5

No, I wouldn't, simply because you if you have a problem with gay marriage or gay adoption, you obviously have some issues with gays or more to the point certain parts of gay life. Either way it's like me saying I have no problem with blacks but I oppose inter-racial relationships or hiring a person who is black.

You can't cherry pick tolerance, you either do or you don't.

Answer 6

I believe you but sure as hell don't agree with you.. A lot of people agree with you though, which I find very sickening. People should have a right to be happy, I'm a lesbian being with a girl makes me happy. I want to marry her, and adopt kids. We're both very respectable people, we have manners, we don't pick on peoples opinions unless we feel need be like right now, we don't harass anyone. Why can't I have the same rights as straight people?

Answer 7

I wonder why? I wonder why are you so threatened by a gay marriage and what you think the difference is.

You love your partner, you want to be with your partner for the rest of your life, you respect your partner, what exactly do you think is difference between our love for our partner and your love for your partner?

I think you mind is just stuck in our bedroom which is rather disgusting because we do not put our minds into you bedroom and what you do so please stop thinking of us as just sexual!
By the way I raised two heterosexual boys ever since they were born.
You straights raise more gays then we do so you cannot go there either.
Stay out of others bedrooms please and you will start to see the real truth of love.

Answer 8

Then while you may not outwardly harbour a hatred towards gays, you do not see them as equal. So, you do have a problem with them. We are all equal, and by not allowing them equal rights, which they should be afforded under the law, you are discriminating against them.

Answer 9

Are you opposed to Human Rights too? They are people after all, and deserve the same rights you do. You're in no place to restrict someone else's Human Rights.

Answer 10

Your opinion your right.....however I would like to point out I have beenin a loving committed gay realtionship for 17 years.......and I raised my biological daughter, she just moved out to attend college with a full scholarship.

How is your track record?
