We live in a FREE AND EQUAL country...i dont see why someone who falls in love with the same sex doesnt have the RIGHT to marry...
Many of you say: Well they wont be able to reproduce.
Why are you getting involved in someone elses sex life?
They dont want kids, then they dont want kids...who are you to judge them?
Many gay people just adopt...
Once again your religion is controlling other people, putting them down for who they are. Why do you want people to change? It sickens me. This country may be dominately Christian but why are you controlling someone who isnt your religion?
They are born that way and CANNOT change.
You claim it is a choice. Yet why would you choice to be ...humilated, beaten.......even killed...just because you love the same sex.
Just accept us for who we are.

Dunno which country you live in but is it ever free and equal? Most countries are controlled by governments who may adopt some religious laws but it is still the government which the majority of the citizens who elected them decide on what is right or wrong. It is still illegal for a woman who wants to be a prostitute to have paid sex with a person. Then does this mean the government is controlling someone else's sex life? How about an adult with a consenting child? These people are also 'born that way'. Christians have their own set of beliefs in what's right or wrong and they still have the courage to say what is wrong. It is scary that some wrong have become right and accepted as norm in some countries.

As a Christian, I can provide you my perspective on your questions but I'm sure I don't speak for everybody.
1. Christians aren't "getting involved" in somebody else's life anymore than other people do. Most of us are only involved in other's lives because of some relationship with the person. I hold gay and lesbians to the same standard I hold myself to - no more, no less. To me, they are children of God, just like me. And I should love them as myself. And since I love myself enough to be involved in my own life, why should I not be involved with the people I'm in some sort of contact with? And I'm not invovled in any of their sex lives... and I don't know anybody who is. But I guess each person makes those decisions on their own...
2. I don't judge them anymore than I judge myself. The Bible says that God will hold me to the same standard that I hold others. So I try my best to be compassionate.
3. I don't want people to "change" - it's God that does. If God asks me to help spread His word, who am I to say no? I don't preach change. I preach Christ. I let God make the decisions, not me.
4. I have no control over anybody... whether they are Christian or not. And I don't know any Christians that do. I guess there are alot of people that choose to follow others but that's their choice so I don't think Christians can be blamed for that.
5. You have a much more negative point of view on the power and fortitude of people than I do. You say they CANNOT change. I am saddened that you see such impossibility in the human and Holy spirit. I try to stay away from absolutes. I tend to believe we can do anything we desire and I don't see why gay people would not have that ability. I think they are stronger than you give them (and yourself) credit for.
Finally, I do accept you for who you are. I pray you are continually blessed as a child of God you will find God regardless of any negative comments you may receive from people, including me.
Thanks for the awesome question and I apologize for the negativity you must be around. God loves you for YOU.
Be blessed.

high-quality question. i even have not got an answer on your question, so sorry for answering in any case. in basic terms wanted to throw it obtainable that i do no longer think of marriage is in basic terms around god. a lot of atheists get married each and all of the time, i think of it extremely is in basic terms what's asserted at your wedding ceremony that could desire to be considered. a marriage is a binding of two souls, legally and emotionally. the spirituality is thoroughly as much as you. additionally, i like while the fundies come on right here and start up quoting bible verses even once you for sure are no longer non secular. how annoying, and a sprint unhappy, that they have got no longer the rest to respond to with besides expenses from a e book. a minimum of none of them have stooped to telling you they're going to desire to your soul.

You can love who you choose, same sex best friends, friends... but is it ok for that love to develop into a sexual relationship and ultimate marriage?
To me, "science" and religious beliefs aside, children, young boys and girls cringe, shudder and say EWWW YUCK (having a very minimal comprehension of biology and body functions) at the thought of anal sex, to be blunt. Schools and other self serving agencies have started to search for reasons why it's "normal and natural" and ok, and are now indoctrinating young children by conditioning them from a very young age. What was thought of by a collective people as morally wrong or just wrong period, unnatural, unhealthy and a variety of other terms, for decades is now being taught as normal. That is WHY you think it's normal.
I won't compare it to bestiality or paedophilia but I will say that , people who do those practises particularity child sexual abusers, use the same method our school systems, some goverments and media, are using... and start at a young age to condition the child into thinking that behaviour is "normal." It is not until they learn from an outside source that it's in fact NOT normal, that it's addressed, The situation with homosexuality is not going get addressed on the same playing field because the very people who would tell a child, homosexuality is not normal, are telling them it IS normal.
And ...No, racism is entirely different because a black person can NEVER wake up and say.. I am not going to be black anymore.

I have to say just one thing first...this is regarding "FISH's" comment about marrying a horse...
BE REAL. No one is going to marry a damn horse or any animal for that matter.
I agree. Gay marriage should be legal and it's a shame that MOST not ALL but MOST christians are so cruel towards homosexuals. And I agree, most of them are born that way. It's not their fault they're not attracted to the opposite sex. And for those of you who think it's terrible for a gay couple to adopt, you should research before you think it's terrible. Many kids grow up to be just fine with gay parents. 90 percen to of my friends are gay, I'm straight, but I go to gay pride because I believe they should have rights.
By the way, you ever think about the fact that if perhaps we gave gays the same RIGHTS as straight people that there probably wouldn't be any "homosexual movements" or "pride" parades? That stuff wouldnt' exist if their rights weren't threatened. Think about that, will you? Thanks.

It is supposed to be free and equal, but we have a long way to go.
People should really tend to their own lives and let those who are not harming anyone do the same.
It's easier, apparently, to point fingers at others than it is to lead your own life in a good way.
The laws are changing, slowly, but it's happening. Think of how many years it took for black people to have rights in the US. It was a long struggle but it happened. So it will be for gay people. It won't stop the hatred any more than it stopped prejudice, but at least they will have to butt out of other people's personal lives.

First, I don't know of any Christian groups who stand for homosexuals to be humiliated, beaten, and killed. (The freaks at Westboro in Kansas ie. Godhatesfags.com are NOT CHRISTIANS, nor any other group who stands as they do.)
Secondly, this nation is NOT a Christian nation. The majority of people here are NOT Christians.
Thirdly, don't blame Christianity for the persecution you feel. That's just ignorant.
Fourthly, I am sorry about the Christians who have persecuted you. That's wrong. Many Christians freeze when it comes to dealing with the homosexual movement, so all that they do is backlash in anger. This is wrong. Christianity calls for standing up on Biblical principles (ie. that homosexuality is wrong). So I stand on that issue. All the while, I will still accept someone as a person, and hopefully expose the sin in their life.

If you want to love the same sex, them love, but don't expect us to accept it.
You have the right to choose, so do we!
You people keep fighting for the right to be gay, yet keep saying its not your choice to be gay, contradicting isn't it?
Why feel like a step child, no one force you to be gay.
You do have a choice, if you can choose to love, then you can choose who to love.

The practices of homosexuality and lesbianism are demented, anti-human, unhealthy, lazy, and rebellious behavior.
Homosexuality and lesbianism are not genetic at all. A fact to which those who have come out of that lifestyle can attest.
Because even a minority of society are not murderers; and knowing they will not be punished, homosexuals and lesbians have adopted an "in your face" attitude. Those who find it repugnant and are opposed to such behavior are constrained to accept the actions of such people in society as it exists.

There is no such thing as being happily married. Marriage is an institution and institutions are for crazy people Last comment, the law of nature is to beget life.....can you and your friend sire a child? It is not wrong to love the same sex
but if you want your own children your method won't work.
Ain't judgin' nothin....just offerin' some logical comments. Peace and happiness to all.
