Why should homosexuals...?

Question

Why should homosexuals not be allowed to marry?

Protestants believe that being another religion is a sin and yet muslims, hindus, and satanists can marry.

Is it because homosexuality is a choice? A choice like religion is.

Is religion protected because it is in the constitution? Like equal rights for other races and women was originally, oh wait they weren't.

Will civilization suddenly implode? Because you believe that suddenly all of America will become gay? Will you?

Because marriage is for children? Should those people who do not want children not be allowed to marry?

Because it is a slippery slope? You can say that about different races, religions, ages and nationalities.

Because if this is allowed then the next step is to outlaw speech against gay people like in Sweden and Canada? You mean just like how the KKK can't preach against black people today and you can't preach against Islam.

First off, no one said Churches have to marry. This is a state institution.

Second, there are lots of adulterous, and or open marriages in the US and you guys aren't trying to make an amendment against those marriages even though according to you guys they go against the concept of marriage and immorality.

Answer 1

There is absolutely no reason they should not be free to marry. The only thing that stands in their way is religious dogma and people's bigotry. It will happen one day, though, and it will be in my lifetime if I can help it.

Added: I do not believe homosexuality is a choice. I want to make that clear.

Answer 2

Listen, I am gay and yet I don't feel the need to impose my choices on people so they'll accept everything about me. That's a position of incredible weakness. Policy makers need to be focusing on things of true importance, quite frankly, not things related to who I want to have sex with. That's my business. It's only when we try to live our business out on everyone else's doorstep that we face opposition. And rightfully so! Gay men and women use to say, "What happens in my house behind closed doors is my business, not yours!" Now we're saying, "What I do with my sexuality outside and in public and on your doorstep and in the street is something you're just going to have to DEAL WITH." That's presumptuous, arrogant, and inconsiderate of others around us."

Look, I'm going to go on having whatever relationship I want to have regardless of the government or policy maker's opinions about it. I'm not waiting around to be accepted and coddled to. That's immature and whiney. And frankly, that's exactly the problem with the gay community in the first place and we all know it.

Particularly, marriage has traditionally and religiously been a sacred thing between a groom and his bride. It has created the family nucleas and is the framework of the society throughout history. Gay men and women don't "need" marriage to be altered. We can be civilly joined. We can have certain benefits (don't buy the garbage that we can't), and we don't have to do it, trying to force everyone's hand into thinking about it just like we do. After all, isn't that what pisses us off about the religious or conservative crowd, imposing themselves? Well guys, let's not follow their lead. That's what gets us a bad reputation. We're known for weakness and needing to be adapted to. Well put ur big boy pants on and stop fussing about people accepting YOUR ways. It's nonsense.

Answer 3

For one reason only: to preserve the sense of the word, as it is presently understood in the language: to refer to a heterosexual union. Civil unions, which would encompass all of the rights and responsibilities of marriage, suit me fine.

Answer 4

God created men and women different for a reason, to COMPLETE each other! if you have two men or two women marrying each other, they don't complete each other physically or emotionally. being homosexual is a choice, you're right, but it goes against the guidelines and rules God set down at the very beginning, if he wanted two women or two men to marry, don't you think he would've created two men or two women in the garden of Eden instead of a man and a woman? choosing to be homosexual is a sin, God doesn't hate the people that are homosexual, he hates the sin, he hates the fact that they refused him and chose to sin....Christianity does not believe that other religions are a sin, other religions are cults that are false and decieve people into thinking it is truth. it is not a sin to have a different religion.

Answer 5

Ok here's the thing, whether if you are religious or not, homosexuality is unnature, it's jus weird, very weird...there are some states that allow you to marry...House is tryin to pass a protection law for you guys and for us Christians we are getting in trouble for talking to you guys about the Bible pshaw! I don't care honestly what they do about the homosexuals and marriage, I think that I would vote against it because the Church will not recognize it and I won't either, I have friends that are homosexual and they respect the fact that I don't support homosexuality and I respect the fact that they are homosexual...I'm not one of those Christians that get all in your face talking about you are going to Hell if you don't "get right"...but I will defend myself if someone asks me a question...God Bless yoU!

Answer 6

I think homosexuality is gross personally. I don't care to know as much about it as I already do. I gives me the willies when I see PDA between same sexes. If they were meant to be together, then your plumbing would be made that way. Whether you're religious or not, it's unnatural. We are not amphibians that can spontaneously change sex to mate. It just isn't right, and I don't agree with them being legally married. I don't agree in gays adopting children and raising them in that environment. You can call me close minded if you want to, but I hope the majority never accepts it (though it seems to be heading that way).
My scriptures are full of stories with populations enjoying these types of abominations and then the entire population is destroyed. That affirms to me that it is wrong (if my first point doesn't seem obvious).

Answer 7

Genesis 2:22 Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
23 And Adam said:
“This is now bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man.”
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.



Matthew 19:4 “Have you not read that He who made[a]them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’[b] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’ 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

God created marriage not man or mans laws. If you have a problem with the sacrament of marriage take it up with God. Me, myself have no problem with it. But I follow what my Lord commands. And to do otherwise I would be committing a sin

Answer 8

eventually there will be legal partnerships... civil unions... or legal partners... but never legally wed, as the family is not created with two same sex partners, without the help of a surrogate or donor...

I dont believe it is a choice, i think they born that way. when scientists find the 'gay gene' all sorts of things will change.

Answer 9

It goes against the bible. Adam and Eve were are examples of mating. God sanctioned marriage and it is holy.

Answer 10

There is no reason that homosexuals' right to be married is denied. If they want to live in a married way ...why not. you do realize that if not married, their partner can be refused visitation rights in the hospital, why is that right...The environment Drum Boy??? what about the alcoholic parents that have kids, or the work-aholic parents that as just too busy to enjoy their kids,or the abusive parents..what about those environments. Gay couples are just different, that's all. they can be loving parents..psst you really can not be "turned gay" it really is in the way you are put together,plumbing aside.

Answer 11

Well as I hear it the catholic church invented marriage as we know it a few hundred years ago, so any copyright/patent they had held on the concept would be well and truly up. And any government should give reasonable choice to the two(or more, yet polygamy gives me personally the creeps) consenting adults to make their own choice!
