How does homosexual marriage threaten heterosexual marriage?

Question

Tabby asked for more details... When a man loves a woman very, very much, they get married. Sometimes boys don't want to marry girls and visa versa. They want to mary people of their own sex. They don't seem to want to have anything to do with boys and girls who marry, but there are people who say that they will destroy boys and girls marrying each other. How?

Answer 1

It destroys the sanctity of marriage which GOD defined as one man and one woman. It breaks down taboos and leads to a perverse society. It is wrong and GOD has said so.

LOVE your nieghbor as yourself.
Amen.

Answer 2

It can't.

But you forget maybe that the Christians think that marriage is their invention, that it was created by their God. They can't seem to accept the thousands of years of history on Earth before their book was written.

They also have trouble with the idea that most of the world is not Christian and has no desire to live by the rules of their religion.

So they will say that their god forbids it (which is fine, they shouldn't do it then) or that it will somehow open the flood gates for people marrying dogs or babies or some other nonsense.

Answer 3

It doesn't. How could two guys getting married have any affect on my marriage of 34 years? When I was married, there was no religious aspect to it whatsoever. My husband and I went to Reno, Nevada and were married by the Deputy Commissioner of Marriages for Washoe County. We have a marriage license and receive all the full benefits and privileges afforded to people who marry religiously. So, do religious people want to tell me I'm not really married because it wasn't religious? And what other objection to gay marriage could there be besides religious? You may object to gays marrying in church, I suppose, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't happen....just because you object.

Answer 4

It doesn't. I'm married to a wonderful woman, and have a traditional marriage. If my neighbors were two married women, do you know what would happen to me and my wife?

Nothing.

I think that Christians are just afraid that gay marriages will have a higher sucess rate than the current 50% "enjoyed" by conventional marriages. That, and they just like keeping their minds in other people's pants.

Answer 5

Anti-homosexuals somehow feel that their marriage won't be as special if homosexuals make the same kinds of vows. They feel that the institution of marriage is thereby sullied, and by association so are all marriages.

Remember that these are people who think everyone should act and believe the same way. Diversity causes them discomfort, and that's what it's really about.

Answer 6

It doesn't. Love your neighbor as yourself...that includes the homosexuals andd also encourages equal treatment as you would want for yourself. There is no threat other than that of people who are afraid of a truely open society.

Answer 7

It does not. This is a lie that most religious people use to hinder and violate the right of homosexual people

Answer 8

Well the family for religions such as Catholic and other Christians or believers in Jesus is made for a male husband and a female wife. Otherwise it does not work properly, and a spiritual damage (sin) is made.

Answer 9

unless one of the persons in the heterosexual marriage is going to divorce and get involved in a homosexual marraige, i dont think it threatens it.
can you put more details?

Answer 10

Some religious nutjobs think that people of the same sex getting married will lead to polygamy. Don't ask me, I didn't come up with the idea.

Oh and I think some people are afraid it will lead to people marrying animals and furniture and other stuff.

Answer 11

Sitting back waiting for a decent answer on this one.... Its been asked before and so far I havent seen anybody come up with anything other than "God says so".
