gay marriage ( im not gay)?

Question

i know that in most religions it is a sin to be gay, but is there a religion were being gay is not a sin?


can anyone give me any other information about gay marriage pro and con


im doing a debate on it

Answer 1

Male organs and female organs were made for eachother. That is clear. It sickens me to think of gay couples bringing up children, if somehow it was there own than they would have the right (legally) but the fact that other children can be adopted by gay couples just isn't fair. Wheres' the mother figure? No not a camp male! A mother, a woman, a female, the woman who gave birth!

Answer 2

California did a study on it, net, it increase revenues to the state and lowered costs. Other studies confirmed this.

Equality. This country is founded on the idea of equality. Gays and lesbians pay the same taxes at their str8 counterparts, why should they not have the same right, privileges and yes obligations?

Gays and lesbians are import in the economy. Studies suggest that they contribute more to the society than their hetero counterparts without costing more resources....if we continue to deny equal rights some of these more educated people will move to where they are recognized.

Marriages are controlled, regulated and licensed by the state. Religious ceremonies are just that, ceremonial. Marriages are about property rights and inheritance. If the state issues licenses for str8 people then religion aside, it should issue the same for gays.

Speaking of inheritance. Gays and lesbians already have families. Whether than family is just their partner or includes children. There are thousands of gays families raising children together. Sometimes the biological partner dies. these children are then at the mercy of the state. The state does not have to grant the children to the surviving partner even if that is the other parent that has raised the children from birth....(yes this has happened) the children can be forcibly removed.

Partner is very ill, the healthy partner has no rights to direct medical care unless they already had a medical power of attorney drawn up and some hospitals ignore these until they are dragged into court and made to comply.

All of these and MORE problems are resolved by legalizing marriage between consenting adults. Do some research.

Answer 3

I am gay but I definitely see not point in gay marriage. Nothing really beneficial seems to come out of it. It also does not seem natural to me, unlike straight marriages, especially on the scenario that takes places at the alter, the whole dress code thing depending on the genders. Even if gays marry they still appear to look as if they are still in a casual relationship. With straight couples you can tell if they are married or not. There just seems to be some sort of indication as to whether they are simply in a relation or have consumated their marital status. Gay ppl are better of just being in a casual relationship.
The only pro that might come out of gay marriage is that it will bring the couple a lot more closer than they are in a non-marital relationship. I am not sure if these answers might help but, I am just giving my own opinions.

Answer 4

I'm Wiccan. We have a very live-and-let-live approach to life and religion, and we teach tolerance and acceptance - as long as it harms none. And what does gay marriage harm? Absolutely no one.

My uncle passed away when I was 11. I'm now 23 and in his memory I am an activist for gay rights. I got SO angry at my mother (his twin sister) when she voted against gay marriage in California in the late 90s. It completely blew my mind that she would deny men and women the right for something that would have made her own twin so incredibly happy. I'm a straight, married woman. I am devoted to my God(dess). And I see no wrong in two people who love eachother to take vows and live together with the same rights as my husband and I have.

And on the gay couples raising kids thing - if that's so wrong, then shouldn't it be wrong for a single parent to raise thier kids alone, too? My uncle and his boyfriend were two of the most loving people in the world. They didn't want kids, but if they had, they would have made wonderful parents. You don't need both a mother and a father to become a happy, wholesome adult.

I hope this helps you. Good luck on your debate.

Answer 5

People keep using the arguement that "male & female bodies" were made for one another. Thats silly to say... yes they might "match" so to speak, but its not limited to that.

I mean if you wanna go that far you'd have to start questioning other things. For example, there are not "little people" cars everyone, so just because they can't drive a regular car its not right that they were born that way. Not everywhere has a disability ramp or accomodates people disabilities, so they must be wrong for being disabled.

So if you wanna say just because a "penis" is not put into a "vagina" that its wrong you're wrong.

Gay marriage doesnt not destroy family values, it builds them. It teachs the children that they raise that its ok to be who you are, its ok to stand up for what you believe in and often times children that grow up in a LBGT home grow up to be some of the most powerful people and successful people because they had a loving home life and they were taugh to be open minded. On the other hand divorce tears apart family values, it teaches the children that its ok to marry someone whom you dont love and then to fight, bicker and end up in a bitter divorce. Children should not be taught that.

LGBT marriage is more than just a discrimination its full out hate in many cases. Sooner or later the only "normal" people are going to be

*Caucasion, skinny, blonde-haired, blue eyed (all american), fully capable of working, nice range for IQ, hates all other races, single parents, people with disabilties, LGBT's, people below the poverty line, etc.*

What kind of world is that? You tell me.

Answer 6

i think gay marrage is allowed in the not-so-strict jewish religions(srry i don't have more info!!)

if ur doing a debate, the fact of the matter is america is a free country, and people have almost all but this right. if people wan't to be allowed to marry someone of the same gender, it should be allowed. americans are given the choice of who they wan't to marry, but only of the opposite sex, and that kind of defeats the purpose of having a choice if ur not allowed to make it. really, there is nothing wrong with being gay. i mean, there are all diferent types of people in the world, so if someone can find a legintament con aboout gay marrige, then they can find a con about everything (they are probaby pestamistic, too). nothing is wrong with wanting to marry someone of the same gender, and by having this debate, u are trying to find faults in peoples beliefs.
sorry if this is either to little or to much info, i know i ramble.

and i am not gay, not that there is nothing wrong with it!!

Answer 7

Many Christian religions support gay/lesbian/bisexual (same-sex) marriage because they see it is about love, and also the Wiccan religion is also more open minded.

Oh and you might not want to say a "I'm not gay" in the title of your question. Sounds like you see being gay as a diss or something bad, which it's not.

I'll put in links that will help you.

Answer 8

i'm afraid i do no longer stick to the reason at the back of your rant. (question) ok so your a gay Christian and you do no longer trust gay marriage. Whats the factor of this rambling on. You open via pointing in direction of marriage yet finally end up speaking approximately you families lack of ability to stand certainty. (your sexuality) look in case you haven't any longer any activity in gay marriage then so be it, yet do no longer deny others the appropriate to marry because of the fact its no longer what you desire. modifying. The I dude. in case you have examine the bible you would be attentive to that its would not enable almost something. you would be attentive to that homosexuality controlled a grand entire of six verses out of a million. you may additionally be attentive to that if a Bride is located to no longer be a virgin she is to be stoned to dying. the stable e book is stuffed with comparable verses. a million of them in reality. So why are you selective wherein one are appropriate for you? You do comprehend that God would not have a verse that facilitates us to decide on our chosen verses.

Answer 9

There are many religions that do not have rules regarding sexuality. Christianity tends to frown on homosexuality although some Christian religions are becoming more tolerant.

For all those questioning the physicality of homosexual sex, there is absolutely nothing that homosexual people do that is not also done widely and frequently by heterosexual couples. all such acts are easy to do and immensely pleasurable - which is why so many people do them.

Answer 10

If religions say that being gay is a sin, that's not a good thing. How can they control other people's natural feelings? I'd go with Buddhism. If that doesn't work, just be atheist. e

Answer 11

I would recommend staying away from religion if you're going to argue for gay marraige; its circular logic in religion; its this way, because we say its this way. You can't argue that point.
Some native amreican cultures revere gays and transexuals, and probably some asian cultures as well. If your going to argue for; here is some info on religion and homosexuality that might point you in the right direction; gives you a summary of major religions and their views on gay people.
