Do you support gay marriage and/or coming out? Why or Why not?

Question

A couple years ago, my mind was tricked into thinking homosexuality was wrong.

I no longer believe this. If the bible has something to say, it's this: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

The only people against God are anti-christians and nazis.

Answer 1

I'm fine with somebody coming out. I'm ok with gays. But I'm NOT ok with gay marriage. Why?

1. Marriage is ordained of God to be between man and woman. I know people will say that's an uneducated, out-dated view, but I'm one who believes God's truths arent defined by the changing wind of popular opinion or "enlightenment:".

2. Anything other than marriage between a man and a woman is a mockery of that sacred union. This could mean:
a. Man marrying a man
b. Woman marrying a woman
c. Man marrying a sheep
d. Woman marrying a horse
e. Man marrying a child
etc. etc.

Incidentally, I'm obviously against a man cheating on his wife or vice/versa or abusive marital relationships because in addition to that being destructive to each other and to the children of the family, it also makes a mockery of God's institution of marriage.

If gays want a binding legal contract of their union, I'm ok with that - but not marriage. Start a nonprofit partnership or something. Exchange rings, pick out carpet. Whatever. But do NOT allow for anything other than a man and a woman in a marriage.

Answer 2

Yes, I support it. To save time and space, read "What God Has Joined Together?: A Christian Case for Gay Marriage" by David G Myers (and someone else). It's written by a Christian heterosexual for heterosexuals, but makes great points on how it will actually benefit society. Also, read, "The Children Are Free" by Jeff Miner. Another good one.

And a quick afterthought....If Christians say marriage is a sacred God-ordained institution, why are now more than half of them getting divorced? And why is remarriage accepted although the Bible apparently says that is adultery? And if it's so sacred, why aren't more Christians pushing to have divorce made illegal, rather than picking on gay marriage?

Answer 3

I support gay marriage as a general human right. I'm not particularly interested in it myself, but it should be available for those that want to engage in it. If for nothing else for the legal benefits it guarantees committed couples. This can be done with a civil union as well...but the fact that society chooses to withhold marrigage from the LGBT community encourages us to seek it just because society is being stubborn about it.

Coming out is fine, as long as you choose to do so yourself. Possibly one day it will be a non-issue and coming out won't have such a big impact on those in society. People are already finding sexual orientation an interesting aspect of people's individuality rather than a tragedy as was the case in the not-too-distant past.

Answer 4

I most definitely support gay marriage and coming out as well. Why, because matrimony, whether holy or not, comes with alot fo fringe benefits that the homosexual community has been cheated out of for years, helping to fund this nation with our tax dollars and yet we are discriminated against from having the very same fringe benefits the heterosexuals do, in essence, and are paying them to discriminate against us!

If they are willing to take our tax dollars then it would only seem right that we would be given the same rights and benefits that the rest of society has, or is our money good enough but we are not?

Heterosexuals need to be confident that heterosexuals will always be just that. Or is there an underlying fear that people have to force people into heterosexuality by setting "proper" examples. Why aren't heterosexuals more comfortable in allowing freedom in people to choose who they want to choose, or would the question finally be answered? Is that the true fear?

People need to relax and allow people to be who they are and feel comfortable knowing that they are with someone who truly wants to be with them, instead of society forcing people to pair up only to have their marriages destroyed in the long-run by an inability to cover things up anymore! That would be a total waste of time!

Answer 5

I support gay marriage and coming out full. We should not have to live in the closet, while everyone else can go on living their lives. We are not asking for any special privilages, we are simply asking for the same rights as everyone else. Why are we so different just because we love the same sex?

I am a proud lesbian. I lived as a "straight" person until I was 18 years old and I can't tell you how happy & relieved I was when I finally came out and was being true to myself. It felt wonderful not to have to pretend anymore.

I think people should be able to love who they want and marry who they want. They need to keep government law & the bible out of all of our bedrooms.

Answer 6

I support gay marriage. Gay people should have to suffer just like us "normies," (I'm kidding!!!)

Gay people should have the exact same rights as straight people. Marriage should be about two people in love, not a man and a woman exclusively. I'm planning a Star Wars themed wedding and I would love to see the first gay SW wedding!!! Or maybe somebody already has!

Love has no gender!!!! <3 <3 <3

Answer 7

Hi baby how are you sweetie it's da diva here and to answer your question dear ''YES'' I do in fact support gay marriages I personally think that gay marriages are, cool, unique, and I just love them. I know how fascinating. I will be going to my good friend Lavender's Wedding in November I am so excited I am also going to be a brides maid there too. The quote of them wedding is ''Day in November to Remember''. I like it. I has a nice ring to it.

Anybody Can love somebody. Always remember that honey. got to run hun love ya smootches da diva.*

Answer 8

Yes, I support gay marriage and coming out. If you love someone, it shouldn't matter whether they are of the same sex. There is nothing wrong with being gay, and I am in full support of gay marriage.

And one thing to add...Marriage isn't necessarily the religious variety involving God. It also means giving gay couples the same rights, such as custody rights, visitation rights to sick partners, and all that. Why should we deny anyone these rights?

Answer 9

I support gay marriages because:

1. I am gay.
2. It gives us access to the same privileges a heterosexual couple enjoys in today's society.

I support coming out because:

1. It is freedom from facing your own demons in the closet.
2. I have better self esteem out of the closet.
3. I have been able to sift through shallow friendships and found those that endure.

Answer 10

I totally support gay marriage as well as coming out, but i also believe in taking it one step at a time, for starers let's get the civil union passed w/benefits of a str8 marriage, then lets push the envelope for gay marriage and rights, w/all the benefits of a str8 marriage/divorce......as far as coming out, i totally support that, cuz i feel peeps should be themselves,and be who God intended us to be, out and proud. I also believe in str8 gay alliances in schools from h.s. to college, I feel that all schools in America should have a no-tolerance policy against such groups and orientations.

Answer 11

While I am in support of any two people (whether same sex or opposite sex) or who are in a committed monogamous relationship, I do believe in the sanctity of marriage the way it has always been and was always meant to be; between a man and a woman.
