gay marriage?

Question

so i am doing a paper on gay marriage and i just wanted to post this and ask peoples opinion on the matter!

Answer 1

it is o'k with me

Answer 2

From a position of tolerance, I don't really care what two consenting adults do as long as they understand the consequences and are willing to accept the risks involved.

However, marriage is a legal relationship. It assumes that one party is female and the other male. Therefore, "gay marriage" is a contradiction of terms - it is an oxymoron.

Politically, I am in favor of recognizing domestic partnerships for things such as employee benefits. But, I do not favor - nor do I think it is in the best interest of our society - to legally accommodate an alternative definition of marriage to include a male and a male or a female and a female.

In a religious context, I believe that God ordained marriage for a man and a woman. I believe that children need a stable relationship of a father and a mother within which to grow and develop properly.

Answer 3

My opinion...being the mother of a gay son...Is...I think gays should be allowed to get married, This part my piss some people off, just being true to what i know....If gays can get married then they have to pay to get divorced this will be a revenue boom to the community, the likelihood of a gay couple staying together for more than 10 years is like null. Not only that but the ones that stay together for 20 and 30 years have no say in what happens to the person they just spent the last 30 years with...the family that disowned then when they came out does...even heterosexuals that are together for 30 years are considered common law spouses. Why aren't gay couples? What does it matter to you if they get married? I didn't want my brother to marry his wife but I couldn't make it against the law,

Answer 4

This is hard for me.....my brother is gay and I want him to be happy, but I just can't accept that he could have a "husband". I want 2 people who love eachother to be together, but marriage is a sacred bond. I know that most homosexual people want the same things heterosexual people want but it's that small group of gay people that ruin it for everyone. I'm nervous that if it's made legal then that small group will turn marriage into a laughing stock. I'm refering to the obvious gay couple that makes you sick with the way they talk, and act. The peole that you want to slap in the streets. The couple that is VERY loud and graphic about their bedroom antics. This is the group that kills me. I don't go around telling everyone what I do in the privacy of my bedroom so why should anyone else. So to answer your question...I believe marriage is between a man and a women. And yes I voted for George W. Bush.

Answer 5

Marriage on earth is only base to be something legal. The true marriage is shower in heaven by God, because they come together as one, and ask God of their blessing. Therefore, why do gay couples seek approval from men when their union is should be bless by God?

Within history we have learned that man can't even but true to their Bible. People accept the falsehood that men creates. When a couple comes together its bless by the only spirit that could be truthful.

Answer 6

Right now, gay couples everywhere are being denied the legal rights that straight couples enjoy. Most already suffer as a minority group, with 'coming out' and asking the acceptance of one's family being an ordeal enough. I have the utmost respect for gay people, I see them as incredibly brave individuals, who are not afraid to say who they are in the face of a society that places them as second class citizens when it comes to committing to a spouse. I don't believe you can choose your orientation, and that the archaic view of religious groups is causing further pain to a minority that already suffers stigma and discrimination legally and socially. Remember civil rights, lynch mobs, and segregation anyone? Not to mention terrorism? Religion causes enough pain, without making things worse for minority groups on a global scale.

Answer 7

I absolutely support gay marriage. There is no reason to deny two MUTUALLY CONSENTING ADULTS from entering a legal contract if they want to.

If "our purpose is to breed" then why are infertile couples allowed to marry? Do I have to divorce my husband because he's had a vasectomy? Can my mother, who was widowed at 39 and has since had a hysterectomy ever get married again?

They don't want "special" privileges, they want the SAME privileges that so many of us have - the ability to marry the person that they love.

Answer 8

I have no problem with it at all. I think banning gay marriage is horribly discriminatory, and I have a feeling that in 50 years we'll look back on this like we look back on segregation now: wondering what the heck people back then were thinking.

Answer 9

Why should a large percentage of the population be denied a basic right such as marriage? Civil unions are like saying "separate but equal". We've seen how well separate but equal works when they tried it with race (blacks/whites) in the 60s. Do they really think it's going to work with sexual orientation?

The rights have to apply to everyone, or they apply to no one.

Answer 10

Its so hard whether to say its right or wrong. I mean God did not intend for two males/females to be together..it goes against nature. But if two people love each other..then if they want to get married..they should be able too. I personally don't agree with being gay..but it also doesn't bother me enough to be against it. All that matters is happiness.. and hey..if marrying your own sex makes you happy..then so be it !

Answer 11

I totally support gay marriage. I am not one who is prejudice and do not discriminate. I have encountered gays who are so fun to be around and they are one of the most positive people I have ever seen.
