what do you think about gay marrige?

Answer 1

I think it's an oxymoron.

Gay people talk about marriage and people having children, who they call "breeders," like they are inferior in some way. I have a hard time believing gays actually want to get married more than they actually want to have what straight people have merely for the sake of having everything straight people have. I think it's all political and for social status for gays.

When I say, I want to get married. It means something very specific, something that your family will respect you for doing because it implies you will give your family children. Gays getting married does not have that same meaning. That's what gay people are trying to change. But really nobody cares if someone intends to have a permanent relationship. Good for you but who really cares.

Civil unions and power of attorney I can understand but gay people marrying each other sounds as ridiculous as fishing buddies marrying each other. Yeah they're intimate and will be together for a long time but so what, they're fishing buddies.

Answer 2

I have no problem with gay marriage. And I think the idea of "the sanctity of marriage" has changed drastically in recent years. I completely understand people that are offended by the idea of an open or non-monogamous marriage. But to generalize and condone anybody who is gay because "they cant be faithful", is wrong. They have every right to **** it up and get divorced as straight people. As for issues as marriage is for creating children, that too is wrong. There are a lot of straight couples that are unable to bear children, or don't want children. I'm not even getting into the whole biblical, homosexuality is a sin business. If it was such a horrible sin, Catholic priests would be stricken down everywhere for even looking sideways at altar boys.

Answer 3

I think Marrige has become as much a finacial institution as a spiritual one.

I honestly don't care. If homosexuals want to get marred that is their choice and they should get the tax benifits that come with marrige.

However I don't beleive that if a person of faith doesn't beieve in gay marrige they should ever be forced by law to marry two homosexuals. They should have every right to do it but not impose their beliefs on others.

Answer 4

Don't even get me started on marriage gay vs straight issue.

Ok, I'm an old fart that's seen a lot of changes in my life. It's not that I'm against Gay's having a legal relationship but anything that effects the term marriage effects true straight marriage as well. Even the way we change the rules of Divorce changes the institution of marriage.
Marriage between a Man and a Woman is the most importation institution there is that holds the fabric of life of the human race together on this planet.
To redefine other types of marriage as being the same as marriage between a Man and a Woman or redefining the ways we exit a marriage (divorce) is simply a crime against the human race.

Answer 5

marrige may be ok for Gays but Marriage is between a man and a woman. Call it something else.

Answer 6

I couldn't say it better than a Reverend (I cannot remember his name) on the You Tube debate that asked the following question of the candidates (and of course I'm paraphrasing):

He said when slavery was the norm people used their Bibles to support it, and they were wrong. When women wanted the vote, people tried to use the Bible to claim they shouldn't get the vote, and they were wrong. When interracial marriage was punishable by jail time and the Supreme Court put a stop to it, people tried to defend being against it by using the Bible, and they were wrong. When the civil rights movement was taking place and desegregation caused riots in the streets, religious folks again used the Bible to "prove" desegregation was wrong, and they were wrong too. So his question to the candidates was, now it's gay marriage in the continued struggle for human rights, and once again religious folk use the Bible to try and "prove" it's wrong. Please explain your stance on it and if you are against gay marriage, please explain why it isn't wrong to use the Bible once again to deny civil rights.

I've been arguing the gay marriage debate in forums all over the Internet for quite a few years, on the pro side, and I've never heard a more eloquent, succinct and direct approach to this subject in all this time.

Answer 7

I am straight, so it is a non-issue.
Only gays, homophobes, and people in unstable marriages have anything to worry about.

and we all know that all three of them are the same thing, if they are concerned that gay marriage might make them gay, or ruin their own marriage.

Answer 8

I am completely opposed to gay marriage. A person's lifestyle is their choice and if they are gay, so be it. I do not, however, believe that a gay relationship should be granted the same benefits as a marriage.

Answer 9

I'm a conservative who thinks the government should stay out of it. Unless you want other people legislating away things you like then you shouldn't support things like this.
It's is especially true with silly liberals, if they like it it should be a law. Thats why I have to wear a helmet when I ride my bike.

Answer 10

I totally disagree with gay marriage. What a person does in their bed room is their business but I would never be able to support gay marriage because I think that it is wrong.
