How can you discriminate marriage??? Marriage is about love, right?? Well many people discriminate against it!They say marriage is about love, but it matters who you love! Why does a man and man or women and women getting married hurt you! It doesn't it may make a dent in your bible or what you think! But it doesn't hurt you! I'm not gay but let those who are love who they want and keep your opinions to yourself! Because voting against gay marriage isn't going to make gays less gay! And when you vote against gay marriage it's not an opinion anymore it's an action!
So why do you still discriminate??
p.s. I also wrote this in "Other-society and culture"!!!

Finally someone I agree with... I mean honestly how the hell is gay people getting married an "attack" on marriage? Do the fundies think that the tables might turn and that us straight people will have to settle with civil partnerships while only gays can get married? The horrors.

It is not that I do not like gay people. I worry about their souls. along with the verses already given there is Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13. Since God is the same Yesterday today and Forever it is not apt to change. I (as you can see by my name) am a minister and I can truly say I do not discriminate. I can say that because my oldest daughter is gay. She calls me and we talk and I love her the same as I did when she was married to her husband. Obviously that didn't work out for the reasons everyone suspects. I do not expect her to change for me and be miserable but I believe in what the power of God can do so I pray for her and keep loving her as a daughter. See just a little info as a Christian I try really hard to do what God instructs us to do in the Bible hate the sin and Love the sinner.

I am not against Gay Marriage as an affront to hetro marriage.
I think that there should be an equivalent institution.
I am against Gay Marriage on purely practical grounds.
If you invited people, couples, how could you know who to plan for: men or women?
How would would plan bathrooms, etc.
It just is too difficult to have it be so vague.
If it was called Gay Marriage to set it apart, then I can go along with it. Otherwise it would just really confuse things.

I'm sorry, but marriage hasn't traditionally been about love. Only in the past couple of centuries has it been romanticized. For most of the time that marriage has existed, it's purpose has been a socio-economic one. This is not to say that marriage shouldn't be about love. Also, some may say that because the man/woman version of marriage has been around so long and our society has been built around it, it may be risky to change the structure now.

OK, so gay is not a disease. Neither are lots of other life styles that harm society. I'm probably going to get a lot of thumbs down for this, but people living together as husband and wive without being married harms society, too. Married couples who swing don't set the right example, either. The basic unit of a society is the family. When families start breaking down, the society will follow. Not "might" - "will." Sorry, but I do believe in God. He doesn't hate the sinners, but the sin, and I try to be the same way. My son puts it this way, "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."

I believe that homosexual marriage is spiritually wrong. But I also know that I am only a man, and I cannot judge another. I just don't believe that two people of the same sex can be married under God. I don't care if there legally married, that's just a piece or paper. I don't even care that there gay. I just don't believe the religious marriage of homosexuals. And by the way, you don't have to be married to be in love. And why did you make sure to tell us that you aren't gay? It shouldn't matter, right?

Religion and Capitalism
For Religion its a sin but..........
Judge not least ye be judged
Hate the sin not the sinner
For Capitalism its about money
They can be covered by their partners medical insurance
They can inherit belongings and have parental rights and
can file jointly at tax time
They are afforded all the money rights a married couple is entitled to

I agree with you.. And if others would like to bring up the question of God and bollocks, think about this.. The proportion of females and males are not in equilibrium.. If we force hetersexuality to each and everyone, a new problem arise and that problem is so much worse-polygamy..
And the way I see it, one day, sooner or later, the homosexuals will be the majority of the world's population and the heterosexuals, me included, will be discriminated.. When that time comes, then everyone will start to open their eyes on how Good and Bad is only defined by society.. Why conform to this social 'rule' when there are other norms and rules of society have been broken and accepted..
Think about feminism.. I'm not a radical feminist or the like but years ago, females are deprived from opportunities and the females who actually do obtain some prestigious occupation are often frowned upon.. But now, it is widely accepted and everyone supports it... The same pattern will apply for gays and gay marriage..
Many might disagree with my, or our, opinion now, but in a few decades time, we will be the one with a huge smile on our face..

to each owns opinion u have yours and we have ours marriage is an institution between a man and a woman. Homosexuals can get together all they want I just don't think they should call it marriage. If it is so right in any religion they would not have laws for people to try to vote against.

Marriag is NOT 'about love!' Marriage for 'love' was only popularized by Shakespeare! Prior to his time, marriages were contracted for very reasoned purposes.
But the main reason for marriage is for the protection of women and children.
