Answer 1

First of all there is no such thing as "gay marriage," as you have pointed out that marriage is the foundation of families and families should be the product of the love between a man and woman. For that matter, the term "gay" is a term that is used in the attempt to make homosexuals more palatable (isn't working). The word gay is actually a synonym for happiness - nothing to do with homosexuality. Homosexuality is denounced by the Bible as an ungodly act, a perversion of the sexual capacity that God gave to mankind, which is created in His image and likeness. The Bible also says, "woe to those who call evil good and good evil." There is a lot of that going on these days, and the homosexual community likes to try and back Bible believing Christians into a corner publicly, claiming that we are "intolerant" and other such things. The fact of reality is that they are openly practicing sin and are waving it under everyones' faces and expecting us to like it. And if we don't like it, then they are going to sue. But to answer your question - No, gay "marriage" is not a good thing.

Answer 2

i think gay people should be able to get married but i don't necessarily think that every family should start with marriage. It's a good concept but with the 50% ad ever rising divorce rate and the legal problems with division if assets, etc, it is just as reasonable today to remain unwed

Well GG: good to know what you believe. Now how will you apply those same beliefs of yours to a barren couple. Should they not get married, should they not adopt? Marriage is not exclusive to bible readers so your refernce to the bible is completely irrelevant. You are just one religion among many others, so there is NO reason why laws of this country should be based on your bible. Again because marriage is a legal union, it confers certain priviledges to the married few and your belief therefore says that in a democratic progressive country like ours, we should start to discriminate against unmarried people and gays (if your gay marriage law holds). You sound very opinionated, which is a good thing because it is good to know what you believe and you confirm your beliefs everytime you voice them. On the other hand, you have a duty as a member of a democratic country like ours to realize that your beliefs are really just YOUR beliefs and that laws that restrict people to following your religious mandates is dragging this country the way of the middle east where religion and the law are pretty much identical. Think of how you would feel if this country gained an islamic, hindu, buddhist or even atheist majority and suddenly laws are made that says you can't get married anymore or it's illegal to go to church. That's what you propose for the non-christian

Answer 3

What people need to understand is that marriage is not a religious institution and never has been. When marriage originated, people were married for economic reasons. In today's society the main reason people get married is because they love each other. Gay people are as capable of love as anyone else so they have just as much right to have their marriage recognized.
suptraner says, they can't have kids so its not a marriage. So people who have fertility problems or people who have their tubes tied should be banned from marriage too? Do you have any more ridiculous arguments you want to throw out there? And yes, I am calling you intolerant
Ok you say your sister will one day be able to have kids. Now what about people who don't want kids at all? Should they be banned from getting married? Why should the only people allowed to marry be the ones who intend to have kids? And gay people can start a family- they can adopt. Families with adopted children are every bit as valid as other families. In fact we should thank people who adopt because they are doing a great favor to society. There are so many kids right now without a family to love them. Everyone who adopts is doing a great thing
Who decides this "marriage is for starting a family" anyway? Homophobic Christians? Not all Christians have kids. This argument is really just grasping at straws. Why can't people just get married because they love each other and want to spend their life together, with or without kids?

Answer 4

Two people can make a family. A family does not have to be 3 or more. I am a married woman who is unable to have children so would you think my two person family is any less in value than one with more members?

You are right - marriage is for people who love each other and that isn't gender specific. And if gay couples want children they can adopt and give a child a good home.

Answer 5

you have have been given it - that's what the campaign for gay marriage is surely approximately: equivalent human rights for tax. whilst one in all a married couple dies, why ought to the surviving companion be waiting to inherit their 0.5 of the homestead tax unfastened whilst if the comparable happens to a gay couple, the homestead will probable misplaced by way of having to pay inheritance tax on the lifeless one's 0.5? This venture got here to the fore whilst the actor Sir Nigel Hawthorne died. i think of that's a great concept, so a techniques because it is going, yet... there is yet another area to it. there have been many situations the place a gay individual has been denied seeing their heavily sick companion in wellness facility because of the fact they do no longer seem to be next of kinfolk. in the event that they have been married, that does no longer take place. So I nonetheless think of the superb answer is gay marriage, yet once you like, do no longer call it marriage. interior the united kingdom we've civil partnership that's gay marriage in each and everything yet call - the regulation grow to be written via in simple terms copying each and everything to do with marriage.

Answer 6

Like you say, marriage is about love. Why should a gay couple be denied the chance to marry because of their orientation? That would be wrong. Where would it stop? should we deny older people the right to marry as they can't have children?
Laws change all the time in the name of progression and equality. It wasn't so long ago that the eugenics movement enforced sterilisation on people from ethnic minorities and those with mental health issues, could you see that being acceptable today?
Live and let live I say

Answer 7

Okay, lets just get this straight - gay marriage and family?

Babies are created by man and woman. gay is man and man or woman and woman (i.e same bits). Its not physically possible for them to create a child (this may give some indication that they arent supposed to have a family)- those selfish ones that try to adopt children into gay "marriages" relationships are just sickos wanting the best of both worlds. I feel sorry for these kids

Being gay is not a good thing let alone gay marriage. marriage was always supoosed to be between a man and a woman. Read the bible.

Anyone that wants to attack me go ahead - Im a christian and this is what I believe.

Gay marriage - dont make me laugh (I now pronounce you husband and husband??? Eh???) So I guess they will take on the same marital role in the house then

Answer 8

Yes.

"Marriage" is not defined by a couple's ability to have children. If it were, there'd be mandatory fertility tests before marriage licenses were given out. "Marriage" in our society is a committed relationship between two consenting adults, in which the couple agrees to be together for their natural lives, and assets are usually made community property. There's no reason for the gender of the people in the couple to be an issue whatsoever.

Answer 9

Marriage of any kind is a beautiful thing. People should celebrate that any two people care for each other deeply enough to commit their lives to each other. Especially in a time when there is so much hate and war. They can adopt or us a surrogate to carry a baby so that its still biologically theirs or use in vitro. Gay couples have just as much love to give to a child as a straight couple. And what girl wouldn't want two gay dads in high school!


pstod-a boy learns to be a man living with two women as moms the same way a boy learns to be a man living in a single parent home with his mom, the mother(s) surround him with positive male role models. If this is a real issue why wouldn't you advocate making walking out on your family illegal? Because its that mans right to choose who he wants to be married to right? Same diffrence.

Answer 10

I think its a god thing for a number of reasons. One, it gives all people the same rights in concern to marriage. Second, it encourages monogamy. Third, it provides a more stable platform for a family - and I have absolutely no problem with a child having two mommies or two daddies. Fourth, it simifies so many current legal issues. If I'm in a coma, my husband decides on my treatment. He's the person I talk with every day and presumably knows est about my wishes. Why should that right/responsibility be passed to my parents who live in another state if my life partner happened to be the same gender as myself? It's a totally arbitrary standard.
