Are you for or against gay marriage?

Answer 1

This country is a secular nation founded on the inaliable right to happiness right? freedom of religion *or from religion*

Any religious arguments are mute on the civil & legal question of gay marriage... since we dont live in Iran and have our laws dictated by the religious zealots & fundamentalists who believe their view of reality is superior to all other individual's experiences & perception.

I see no reason why tax paying citizens should be denied the legal right of shared taxes, hospital visiting rights... etc just because their partner is the same sex.

If a church doesn't want to perform gay marriages, that's cool... but on a civil & legal level, denying gay marriage is completely descriminatory.

Marriage has always had a maliable definition.
Business arrangement or political move... dominion of a man over his property/wife... etc. Only in the past few hundred years in western society have love marriages gained acceptance & popularity, rather than just being the exception to the rule.
Marriage is a legal term, and civil rights are granted & denied based on the status of one's marriage or lack there of.

Denying gay couples marriage also does great psychological & social harms to their children if they happen to have any.

Another Problem: you are wrong. If you define wrong as doing harm to another human being. By insisting that "god made adam & eve, not adam & steve" you're using a juvenile rhyme a 3 yr old could have concocted to explain away a reason in order to oppress your friends civil liberties.
If you don't think that's wrong... it's your reality & who am I to judge your perception... but your perception of the situation is eerily reminiscent of how many many people used to feel about interracial marraige.
"I like black people just fine, hell I have a few that work in my kitchen... but if my daughter went out with a black man, I'd kill them both" kind of mentality.

Answer 2

Against.

Answer 3

I am strongly for gay marriage. To those of you against it, how would you feel if you and your lover were not allowed to marry? A marriage is between two people who love eachother and that's all that matters

Answer 4

No I am favouring gay marriages
that is like a war between sword to sword
not with a sword with protection cover
Hey to Gay marriage

Answer 5

I'm for it. Marriage is not for the purpose of reproduction. It is for two people to make a formal and binding commitment to each other, before their family and friends so that these people will respect the union of their loved ones. I think people should be allowed to love whomever they choose, and have the same rights as each other to have that union legally recognized.

Answer 6

i'm a lesbian lady who's firmly unfavorable to same-intercourse marriage. same-intercourse marriage isn't a 'marriage' in any respect. Marriage is a God-given present it incredibly is meant to link the two sexes, guy and lady, parents. I do think of that exact same-intercourse couples, (I.E me and my substantial different) ought to settle for finished criminal rights and advantages. I do think of it incredibly is arbitrary that interior the state I stay in (Florida) technically conversing, my substantial different Christine is a stranger to me. yet we would desire to continually no longer be married. i'm involved by civil unions for same-intercourse companions, nevertheless.

Answer 7

none of my business who does what with whom. if you do it in public, when i'm working, i'll stop you. if i don't see you (and i don't look into people's windows) then i couldn't care less. love is love, regardless. 50% of all marriages end in divorce, people use the kids as game pieces in custody battles, and just because it was a marriage of a male and a female that makes it alright? don't think so.

Answer 8

Tough one..
I do not believe that it should be viewed as equal to marriage as it has always been defined,which is between a man and a woman.
However if gays wish to have commitment ceremonies etc,I see no problem with that...

Answer 9

so y be against gay marriages??? isnt a marriage a union between 2 PEOPLE
arent gays ppl as well??? its stupid 2 deny smth just cuz u dont accept it. every1 has an orientation n we have no right 2 judge or restrict

Answer 10

honestly, i don't really care. it doesn't pertain to me or anyone i personally know or love so it's immaterial to me. nothing personal at all, but if i had to choose, i would allow it. anyone a person loves and is with long term deserves their name and valuables at the time of death or to make important medical decisions. basically, i will cross that bridge when i get to it.
