Two gays don't make a straight?

Question

Are your for gay marriage or against it? Please support your answers.

Answer 1

Most gays are against religion so why do they want a religious ceremony to dignify their union? Their salvation is between them and God. Voting to give them the ability to get a religious ceremony is my right to vote NO for. They should be comfortable with a civil union ceremony. If they want the same benefits a married couple wants, then they need to petition the appropriate agencies for that. I don't have a problem with that.

Answer 2

AGAINST gay marriage.
Well start with lev 18:22
but I know alot of people will say we don't live by the old but the new (which I disagree with) So then try Romans 1 24-29
1 Corinthians 6:9, 2 Timothy 4:3

Here's a few verses that back up my stance on the whole thing

I won't even dignify saying your name G-- because you are not my God. But I hate to hear that that happens to anybody but the word of God clearly speaks against homosexuality. I have nothing against them I love everyone the same. But I have to honor my Fathers word

Answer 3

What if you were married and your partner died, his/her family then sued you for his assets or half of your joint assets? It happens everyday to gay people. I know people who have had to sell their homes and give total strangers half their retirement money--this happen to a friend of mine. His partner's mother wouldn't even come see him in the hospital when he was dying. But showed up after he died wanting money. One woman I know wasn't even aloud to attend her partner's funeral. The family buried her outside the cemetery with a headstone that said unknown to god.

This happens everyday to gay people. Those are just a few examples of what heterosexual married people take for granted.

How would you feel if people who had not spoken to you in 30 years sudden showed up after you died and took your belongings away from the person you had spent you life with. Or how about becoming ill and your partner's family denying you visitation? I see these things happen to people everyday and the law isn't on their side. In fact, the deck is stacked against them.

Gay people pay taxes too. They deserve the same protections as anyone else.

Answer 4

Underlying the problem are the twin malignancies of pollution and overpopulation. The poor planet cannot deal with exploding billions -- billions -- of occupants with an insatiable thirst for raw materials, energy, water, and, of course and ultimately, economic advantage at any cost.

And the politicos argue about such inanities/insanities as gay marriage, stem cell research and abortion rights. Gay marriage should be encouraged and rewarded, stem cell research hurts no one and benefits people with awful diseases, and the question as to abortion is not whether it should be permitted, but whether it should be required. There are already too many people; children are starving and being slaughtered and horribly treated around the world; senseless, destructive wars are being fought over control of precious resources; human rights are in the garbage can; religious nut cases are strapping explosives to themselves and killing anyone that doesn't agree with their version of divine intent; our own government is spying on us.

It was long ago demonstrated that if you put a few rats in a cage, they get along fine. If you put a lot of rats in a cage, they begin to fight and bite.

Yours truly,
Just Another Rat

Answer 5

I am for gay marriage.



It's absolutely wrong that in today's society, we deny someone the same rights as someone else just because of their sexual orientation. And the reason we do it for; because the Bible says it's wrong.

We deny someone rights because of someone else's religion.


But what I find funny about the whole situation is that anti-gay protestors claim that gay marriage would "ruin the institution of marriage". Yet, they fail to realize that it was ruined the day the first divorce was granted.

Heterosexuals are allowed to marry however many times they choose, but homosexuals (who marry for the right reason) are denied one.





FACT - 99% of all anti-gay rights protestors are heterosexual. 100% of them still do not recognize the fact that marriage is an institution of love; not gender, race, class, ect.

Answer 6

WTF?

For it.

I don't see any reason to be against it. There are no good, logical arguments to be against gay marriage. None.

Answer 7

Not "marriage".

No, don't scream that we can't legislate morality.

We don't allow multiple marriages.
We don't allow underage marriages.
We don't allow live-in companions to have the same status as married couples.

Civil unions, contractural agreements, etc. are fine.

Words mean what they say. My Aunt is my Aunt and not my Uncle for a specific reason.

A marriage is a marriage for the same reason.

Answer 8

We've had it in Canada for a couple of years now.
It's kind of a non-issue.
Gay people should have the same right to be miserable as straight people.

Answer 9

The only reasonable discussion is whether specific religious denominations will choose to allow the practice as a sanctioned event.

As this country is not run on religious doctrine, any laws that bar the union of two committed individuals - whatever their gender - is biased and discriminatory. End of story.

Answer 10

could care less either way..........

our efforts should be focused on the 9 trillion dollars national debt and the shrinking American dollar.......Who gives a sh*t what the gays are doing socially???

but if it is that important of an issue for you in 2008 I would have to say who are you, or the government to say what consenting adult can and can not do with their own life's.....
