If gay marriage was allowed in the future...?

Question

And it's seen as immoral to take rights away because they're gay (like how we see segragation in the 50's now)...?

Do you think the church will deny ever having anything against gays?

Or will they stick to the bible and say we're making a big mistake?

And please, no answers telling me I'm gay. I'm perfectly straight, and gays are humans and they deserve to be treated like humans. You don't have to be black to be against enslaving black people.

Answer 1

The church will stick to the Bible...and tell everybody that the nation is going to hell in a handbasket.

Answer 2

Steve Amato: It's a behaviour born from natural desire.

Gays are attracted only to the same sex and not to the opposite sex, and nobody can change it. It's as simple as that.

There is debate as to how and when this attraction comes into being, but most gays report it to be something they felt from early childhood. It is now widely known that sexual orientation cannot be changed through artificial means. It can be somewhat fluid during the formative years, but once it stablises, that's that. There is biological basis for this; while it is unknown whether it is due to genetics, prenatal hormones, upbringing or a combination, what IS known is that the hypothalamus of homosexual persons (the gland in the brain that controls attraction) has been widely found to be different to those of heterosexual persons. Unless you plan to start performing brain surgery on gays to change their center of attraction (which there is absolutely no non-religious reason to do), I suggest you accept gays as a reality.

Would you have them deny their natural inclination and remain single and celibate for the rest of their lives to suit YOUR wishes, seeing as how they have no sexual attraction to the opposite sex, and never will? Leave them alone, why don't you, let them have the legal rights to assist in the nurture of their relationships and quit sticking your nose in.

Marriage does not belong to Christianity, or religion in general. Historically speaking, marriage began as a legal union of two families, for social or financial gain. Only the Bible's version of history puts it down as an invention of God.

Have you ever bothered to empty your head of religion and consider natural, logical reasons why gays mught exist? In case you weren't aware, the world is massively overpopulated. Also, it has been found that a young man is more likely to be gay for every additional older brother that he has. Makes it seem likely that homosexuality is a clever form of population control, doesn't it?
That way, gays don't have children and add to overpopulation, but they can still form a loving and stable family in which to raise other, exisiting children who need a home. Seems like a pretty nice system. Too bad religion is working against it.

Children raised by homosexuals are no more likely to become homosexuals than other children, just like children raised by heterosexuals can end up homosexual.
Children do not need a mother and a father to have a stable, loving and complete upbringing. They just need a guardian to fill the role of a parent. A single parent, foster parents, a grandparent, aunt, uncle, family friend, they can all do just as good a job at raising a child. I was adopted, so I know firsthand that a blood bond is not truly important in parenthood. Nor is gender. Children raised by a single parent have a perfectly solid sexual identity. Just because they don't have a parent of both genders, doesn't mean they won't SEE people of both genders in their life. Nor are parental skills limited by gender. Men are potentially just as capable as women at being in touch with their emotions, having a warm, loving and close relationship with their child. Traditional gender roles (macho man and emotional woman) drive me crazy, especially when people are rejected by society because they don't meet those traditional gender roles.

Move on people. Move on.

Answer 3

There are probably still some churches that are deep down racist and anti-Semitic. Some churches will still believe same-sex marriage is immoral. Some churches (and synagogues) have come around and even today allow commitment ceremonies.

Answer 4

Well... not that long ago, the church was against interracial marriage... in fact, in the U.S. it only became legal in all states less than seven years ago.

To figure out how they'll regard gay marriage in the future, ask about interracial marriage now.

Answer 5

They will likely still stick to their belief system and say that society is corrupt for getting rid of discrimination in regards to marriage and partnership rights of those whose sexuality is different from heterosexuality.

Actually homosexual people who are residents of Massachusetts have the right of legal marriage.

Answer 6

Well, as my husband says about gay marriage: he doesn't understand what all the fuss is over. He's been married 3 times and says there's nothing gay about marriage.

Answer 7

The people in the Bible had slaves and the Bible talks about it. We now do not. All the passages that pertain to slaves wasn't removed.

Answer 8

It's a false analogy to compare homosexuality to race based slavery. One has to do with behavior, the other with race.

As for homosexuality the Bible is clear:

"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." 1Cor 6:9,10

"God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator— who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done." Rom 1:24-28

Jude 1:7 "In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire."

Heb 13:4 "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral."

Furthermore Jesus said concerning marriage "at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’" of which he took as a precedent for marriage

Answer 9

...then the next thing you know, they'd start having GAY SEX !!!!

Ha ha. seriously, I expect there will always be liberals as well as conservatives around.

Answer 10

It may in a couple of hundred years if Jesus doesn't come first.
