Answer 1

I'm gay. I'm Canadian. I'm married. If I don't like it then I'll be in big trouble tonight :)

Answer 2

Gay marriage is not a matter of marriage so much as it is trying to right a situation in which certain members of society are told they are better than others because they can get drunk one night, get knocked up and decide that since they're going to have a kid, they should get married. Gays and lesbians should have the right to protect their relationships and get tax breaks for relationships that they put thought into if horn-dog heterosexuals can get them just because they wake up pregnant. As far as gay pride, I feel that being gay is an aspect of who I am, but it isn't all I am, so I don't go around "shoving it down people's throats", and I hope and expect the same from anyone else. I don't want to see your hands on your partner's a**, I don't want to see your tongue down your girl's throat, and I don't want to see anyone getting it on in a restaurant. Get a room, gay or straight.

As far as God and morality go, I think that God is still speaking to those who are willing to listen to Him, and that if people would stop thinking that the Bible is the final authority on everything (come on, after all, the thing is over 2000 years old and was written for a very different set of people and circumstances) maybe certain people in our country wouldn't try to control everything and everyone by Bible banging.

Answer 3

My thoughts are I'm tired of paying out the a$$ for medical insurance of my partner of 2 years, when if we could be married it would be free.

I don't know if you could say I have pride. I definitely have no shame, though

Probably because I haven't been to a parade yet, I dunno...

Gay marriage, civil union, whatever, as long as I'm sure she's taken care of

I feel like this country is going through the same thing it always goes through at one time or another...but it always works--until the rich old hypocrites in charge decide to pick on someone else...
women? check
blacks? check
poor people? check
Japanese? check
communists? check
gays? check

who's next?

Answer 4

Happy Pride Month!!

I'm a strong advocate for gay marriage, and my wife and I were actually one of the 400 couples that got married in Portland, Oregon in March 2004. Unfortunately those marriages were nullified. I think the thing I worry about most is if either of us has serius health issues and how the hospitals will respect us even with our medical power of attorney. I've heard some places don't recognize them or challenge them just long enough to take away any comfort your partner may need in a critical situation.

Answer 5

Who am I to tell anyone who they may or may not marry? Personally, I believe marriage, at all, is a bad idea...but would not interfere with anyone's right to make their own mistake.

Yes, I have pride. I am bisexual. I will not hide who I am, I do not feel I should have to. I think every man, woman and child should have the right to be themselves and be proud of it.

The only objection I have to the "gay pride" movement is that some people have a horrible tendency to want to flaunt their sex lives. I do not want to see/hear about what goes on in ANY relationship but my own, no matter the composition.

Answer 6

I am not gay but I do have gay friends. I don't think it is a conscious choice. You are born that way. I don't think it is necessary to have "gay pride" because I don't have "heterosexual pride." Part of the misunderstanding is the "in your face" attitude by some of the more militant gays. It is sad for the gay and lesbians that would just like to live their lives like everybody else and be treated with respect and friendship. I don't have any feelings one way or the other regarding gay marriage. The people I know here that are gay are nice people. Them being gay really has nothing to do with them being nice people.

Answer 7

Yay for gay marriage!!! Marriage is for people who love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together. I agree with the other person speaking about people getting married just because they got pregnant. Marriage should be about love, not convenience. Why should people who probably barely know each other get married, when an adoring couple (male and male? female and female? Why not?) is treated unfairly because their parts don't fit together quite as well? I am straight but I support gay marriage all the way!!!

Answer 8

I'm Gay and mostly everyone knows it except my family. I want to marry, once I find the right man. I hate everytime that phone message comes on about being against gay marriage. "I'm a married woman with 3 children and god's union between a man and a woman is a sacred bond, blah, blah, blah." These people who don't believe in equality & peace annoy and anger me.

Answer 9

I am not gay, but I like to contribute to any question. I was offended when I first heard about gay marriage, because I always thought of it in terms of the joining of a man and women in Holy Matrimony. I thought it should be called something else, like fairagge "fairy marriage". But have the same legality as traditional marriage. I don't see people as gay or straight, I just see men and women with different preferences in life.

Answer 10

I am not gay---I'm a single female----but I have some very close guy friends who are. They are the sweetest, most considerate guys I have ever met. I am like their adopted 'sister', as their own families have disowned them because they are gay. I have known one of them for about 6 years, and while I suspected he was gay, he never told me because he wasn't sure how I would react. Then he finally came out last yr and told me and when I told him I already knew he was shocked! Then he introduced me to his partner, and we have had the best friendship ever. They both have hearts of gold and would do anything in the world for me, and I would do the same for them. They are both very protective of me, and treat me with more respect than I ever knew possible. So, in answer to your question, it's not about whether or not a person is gay, but it's what kind of person they are inside.

Answer 11

gay marriage should be legal

" marriage is a religious thing.homosexuality is against christianity"
and my aunt and uncle are atheist.they dont believe in a god which is also against christianity.yet they are married.this is possible WHY?according to the christians its a "religious thing"
bull sh*t
"next thing you know people will be marrying thier dogs and pedophilia will be ok!"
animals and children have no consent. you must be able to consent to marry.
"humans were put here to make babies"
and some heterosexuals are born infertile....for all we know homosexuality is just another form of infertility.

this is our country.this is supposed to be a free country. whatever happened to the pursuit of happieness?
let us be free.
