Answer 1

I am personally against it. I have nothing against gays and have friends who are gay but I think the sanctity of marriage is defined in the bible to be between a man and a woman.

In a normal marriage (man and woman) marriage is a challenge and I feel the more gays put themselves "out there" per say the more they create hate from people who either don't understand or are just plain haters. The world is full of so much evil already why bring more attention to yourself by wanting all the rights of a biblical marriage.

Lets face it...being gay is not biblical, now I am not by any means saying all gays are going to hell, I do not think that at all but it is professed to be a sin. In Gods eyes a sin is a sin, it doesn't matter if you rob a bank, lie to your mother or are gay. They are all sins and why would we want to celebrate a sin by making gay marriage legal.

That being said, I think our kids need a chance to decide how they are going to live there lives without all the attention to gay and lesbian attention. I have explained the Gay thing to my daughter and she understands and feels it is gross. But thanks to all the media and TV I had to do this so she did not learn elsewhere. Years ago if you were gay, you were gay. DONE DEAL. It was kept discreet and back in the day if you were gay it was truly the way you were born or the fact that something caused that change i.e. abuse or whatever.

These days they are so flamboyant about it they need to stop cause now kids are trying it like you try a new candy bar on the market or something.

Hell lots of man/woman relationships don't work once married. So many of us are choosing to not get married when in a relationship that the gays need to just stay the way they are now.

One more thing and I am done...
Is it really neccesary for them to be so flamboyant at times? A normal m/f couple should not be feeling each other up in public or romatically kissing. But the gays are trying to force this in our face. That is why there are so many haters~! If they want to be together then fine hold hands and may a peck on the cheek I can live with in public. But I feel the same way about m/f couple ...I don't want to see that ****! There is a time and place for everything.
And we must remember the children see everything. Give them a chance!

Alot of my gay friends feel tormented about their sexuality. Why would we want to be so public about something that can torment our youth?

Give em a chance!

Answer 2

I am all for gay marriages. There's nothing wrong with partners loving each other for eternity. Homsexualism has been around for a long time. Homosexuality behavior is not new. It's been going on for years, and every society needs to come to terms with it. Marriage will provide them with the protection and security as a family. For example, medical rights, and hospital visitations. If they get married, two partners and a child can be considered immediate family within the relationship. All of these basic, and simple things that a heterosexual couple may see as less important are a big issue to the gay society.

Answer 3

Gay marriage, I don't know.

Civil unions absolutely, I have been in a gay relationship for 20 years, we start counting our marriage as the day we moved in together on Oct. 4, 1987 till now. From personal experience I can tell you that me and my spouse have to do things in triple and quadruple for years and still not positive that either family can't step in and take OUR PROPERTY if something was to happen to one of us. We have our money, our house, our cars, but as far as the courts are concerned it is his or mine.

He had to go into the hospital last year suddenly and almost died from an accident, the last he said before he passed out was, don't let his family try to take our house from me and our dogs. We didn't tell anyone in his family until he was out of the hospital how close he came to dying, because his mother hates me and has every since we met and has done tried once to take our house when he was sick.

In this situation with either a Civil Union or Marriage, neither of us would have to worry about the other. But we were told that even though we have our wills and powers of attorney, they might not hold up in court, here in the South. Family is the main consideration of the court, not what we want or what is in the best interest of the parties involved.

So yes, Gay marriage and Civil Unions are needed and deserved.

And as a Christian, please refrain from using God created Adam & Eve, God created Adam, Eve, you & me and the world will be a better place when everyone understands that.

Answer 4

I think that if two people love each other, their gender shouldn't matter. I think mostly everyone want to grow up and get married and have a little boy and a little girl in a big house with a white picket fence, so what does it matter if its two men or two women together?

I personally, am against marriage in general. Gay or straight. I think it creates more problems than in can fix, considering people can have a drive thru wedding. But I know that some people really do love each other and are willing to commit themselves, so if you're up for it, go for it.

Answer 5

I am for it all the way. Firstly for purely personal reasons: I want to be able to marry whomever I want to when or if I ever do decide to get married. Secondly, this country is based on the premise that "all men are created equal", right? So that should extend to equality in marrige rights. Domestic partnership is ok, but it stinks of "seperate but equal" and we all saw how well that turned out.

Answer 6

I am a lesbian woman who is firmly opposed to same-sex marriage. Same-sex marriage is not a 'marriage' at all. Marriage is a God-given gift that is meant to link the two sexes, man and woman, mother and father. I do think that same-sex couples, (I.E me and my partner) should be given full legal rights and benefits. I do think it is unfair that in the state I reside in (Florida) technically speaking, my partner Christine is a stranger to me. But we should NOT be married. I am all for civil unions for same-sex partners, though.

Answer 7

First time just found the gay and lesbian section here. I believe 120% in gay marriage I've been with my husband for a bout 11 years everyone should be who they are and everyone else should except everyone for who they are and that is mildly.

Answer 8

I am for the legal recognition of gay marriage. That is where the country where one is getting married recognizes it with all the same rights and freedoms as heterosexual married persons.

I am against forcing acceptance through the church. I do not expect churches to go against their rules and marry gay persons. I am fine with them having the freedom to say no.

So, legally yes I do think it should be accepted, but I will not infringe on the rights of the church to deny the actual ceremony based on belief.

Answer 9

I'm FOR gay marriage because I would really like to marry the girl I love

Answer 10

I am for it. If people feel so strongly about each other they want to share their lives together, they should b able to. This should be legal. At the end of the day why should there be discrimination about who can love who. If there was some point that stopped hetro marriage there would be uproar. I know people can argue religious points but at the end of the day don't the deieties people choose to worship just want their children to be happy?Hope it makes sense to others when written, if it helps it makes sense when I think it :-)
