What are good simple reasons agasint gay marriages?

Question

give me link to sites if possible pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Answer 1

I can't think of any reasons against gay marriages that are any different from reasons against heterosexual marriages.

Answer 2

Well, there arn't many "good" reasons, but there are a few almost-beleivable ones. The best one is probably that there really isn't a tested precedence for it, so no one knows how exactly an increase of same-sex marriages will impact "society" as a whole. Here in canada we've had equal marriage for a while, and honestly I don't notice a difference in anything.

Then there's the impact on progeny, though there really isn't any evidence stating that children are worse off being raised by same-sex couples (I say it's better than being orphaned, though).

It's just people being afraid and bigoted, mostly. But those are reasons that you can pretend are legit. As far as religion goes, it doesn't apply to everyone, so you can discard it. I don't trust anything that's been translated, so maybe you bible-thumpers ought to keep in mind not to take a translated text literally.
Also, "It's wrong", and other such arguments are weak and childish and can also be discarded. Try to look at it sociologically if you're trying to examine it critically. (though personally I'm for the elimination of all marriage, and equal rights for all)

Answer 3

The only reasons against it are not God's reasons, but those of prejudiced individuals. If God created some people gay (and studies have shown that it is innate), why would He be opposed to the consecration of such a union and the assumption of all the responsibilities and commitments that marriage brings? Are you saying God would rather that gay people stay single and be promiscuous, or marry heterosexually and live out a lie?

In response to some of the other answerers, the truth is that you don't know what "God says" or "God hates". The Bible was written by human beings. They may have thought they were being inspired by God, but you have no guaranteed that their claims are true.

In any case, since you are opposed to the lascivious lifestyle of Sodom and Gomorrah, surely you can see that settling down in monogamous gay marriage would counteract that, not add to it.

Answer 4

Well, I'm for gay marriage, but one of the reasons that I've heard anti-gay marriage people use is that the Bible says it is wrong. However, slavery is in the Bible, and we don't allow THAT in this country.

In addition, the United States of America is SUPPOSED to be a country that promotes freedom of religion. So, if you're sitting there preaching what YOU believe is right and preventing others to live their own lives, that's wrong. It's not like they're causing harm to another person. They simply just don't like the opposite sex. Even if something is considered "wrong" or "unethical" in your religion, that doesn't give you the right to tell other people who they can or cannot marry.

I know I sound like a complete "lib" or whatever, and people are going to get angry over my answer. But that just goes to show how close-minded people can be. I'm NOT liberal. I consider myself moderate. AND I'm a Christian. I go to church every Sunday and I actually listen to the words being preached. They tell me that I need to be understanding, accepting, and forgiving of others; something that ALL should aspire to be. I'm Lutheran, and Lutherans are taught that just because someone doesn't agree with your views, doesn't make them wrong.

There's a quote that says, "Against gay marriage? Then don't get one." I think that sums it up...

Answer 5

Most people would state that it goes against God, the Bible and the Constitution - that God created "Adam & Eve", not "Adam & Steve". It's very simple, if God is against homosexuality and marriage is a coming together of two people "under God's law", then isn't that a good enough reason? It isn't valid in God's eyes and isn't that the most important reason to get married in the first place? Unless you're trying to prove something to "society", and that to me isn't a good reason.

Answer 6

There are none. Sex -of any kind- has NEVER been "simple". And as long as people are afraid to deal with their OWN sexuality, they're always going to be afraid of other people's that they don't understand. A marraige licence is NOT a "licence to have sex". It's a legal contract between two people to love & care for each other- regardless of what trials they face in life. What any other TWO people decide to do in their OWN "contract"- is their OWN business.

Answer 7

How dare you ask that!!!!!! You are SO incredibley rude, and ignorant!!! There is absoulutley NOTHING wrong with gay marriage. I believe that if two people are in love weather its a man and a man, or a woman and a woman, that they should have to right to be happy and live thier lives the way they want to. I bet everyone who is reading this thinks I'm gay- well I'm not. That goes to show that gay people are just the same as everybody else!!!!!!!! GET OVER IT!!!!

Answer 8

I agree with the answer above. God did say that if a man lay down with another man like he would with a woman---he deserves death. It goes the same for women and if either lays down with an animal.

Not to mention, they can't produce ( pro-create ) , they can only recruit. Hypothetically, if every one was gay, how would our generation survive naturally? Don't give me that artificial insemination crap either.

Answer 9

You gotta love all the judgmental, hateful ignorant people who need to use a book written TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO to justify their ignorance.

Answer 10

marriage is between male and female. It was designed out of the idea that man goes off to work (or war) and woman stays home to raise the children.

It was also designed to give the woman some legal rights to her husbands earnings and property if they split up or he died, because women didn't earn enough to support themselves. And of course, these rights would be recognition for her housework and her contribution toward family life.

Of course, in modern American society, things aren't really like that anymore. The marriage contract has changed, and that's why people have changed their ideas of what marriage is. But it exists for the male-female culture, to cater to the different roles of the sexes.
