Does marriage between same-sex individuals bother you? Why? I am not passing any judgements...just curious.

Two adults should be allowed to love and marry, it's that simple.
Not my place to judge another person's heart.

When you started typing the topic of your question a list would have appeared with similiarly worded questions with all the answers you needed to this repeatedly asked question.
But for the benefit of your wasted 5 points.
I think gay men and women have as much right to marriage as straight / heterosexual couple's do.Its just that all our governments are run by the churches in the background , we hear to many time's how church going politicians are against this yet , like most gay minister's the government officials are hiring male prostitutes behind our back's.
It will never be allowed no matter if everyone who isnt a politician voted yes the government's would still deny the vote was passed.

i think its a great thing
MARRIAGE IS ABOUT LOVE NOT GENDER
who the hell cares what the stupid bible says. if 2 people love each other, whether they be male and male, or female and female, they should be allowed to live in perfect harmony with everyone else, and get married. Theres nothing wrong with it at all. Its not a sin. Its called love. and no im not gay, but i am bi. Gay marriage should be allowed, since there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. marriage should always have been about love, and not based on gender. And if your god says that homosexuality is a sin, then damn ur god is a ******* jackass. Gay marriage is a beautiful thing, just like a regular marriage. Leave the gays alone, because they are doing nothing wrong.

Nope doesn't bother me. Those it does bother ASSume that marriage has to be religious. Religion only comes into a marriage IF the couple getting married CHOOSE it to. A marriage ceremony in itself is a simple civil ceremony, one doesn't need ANY form of religion to get married.
I find it laughable that Christians are so against a civil ceremony and yet civil ceremonies were going on for thousands of years BEFORE Christianity came to light. Christianity has only been around for 2,000 years...marriage has been around since the dawning of time.

Ok, You want my personal honest opinion? And I,ll be blunt, while I dont agree with marriage between the same sex, Im just fine and have no problems with people being gay, as a matter of fact I have a few really good friends who are gay and they know how I feel on the issue, and their ok with me feeling the way I feel, and on the same token they can feel what they want. Believe it or not, not all gay people have the desire or need to be married, nor do all believe that they should have that right to be married as a same sex couple. Yes they feel that they should have rights, and yes they feel that they need something legal that protects them in their relationship, but to call it marriage isnt always in the cards for gay people or straight people. And if you want to bring kids into the picture? Now this is where my fangs come out, and this is where my gay friends and I have our differences. Time has changed alot, and thank god that gay people dont have to hide in closest anymore, but we still have along way to come, their are still many, many people who dont understand that love is love, no matter what your skin color, sexual preference, age, nationality,etc.

Gay marriage doesn't bother me. The fact that gay people are still being denied their right to marry and be happy does bother me a lot. It makes me feel like we are still in the Stone Age.

I don't think about much if at all. I'm married to my husband. If a F/F or M/M get married I don't see how this would effect my marriage in any way.

Good question! Gay marriage, I have to say that I am against it. Marriage, by it's definition is the union of one man and one woman in Holly matrimony. It is about procreation. Gay couples can not procreate by themselves..........So that said, the gay movement says that the issue is about couples rights. Well than, why won't they accept civil unions? Which address all the rights they say they want to have, just doesn't call it marriage. But that is just not good enough for them. Which just goes to show that the issue is just another political football to get attention and push their values on the rest of us. Like trying justify their life style in some way. And if you choose not to agree with them, well then there must be something wrong with you. If the issue was, as they claim, all about couples rights. Then they should have jumped at the chance of having civil unions, but they did not. If nothing else it would have gotten their foot in the door. In stead of having that door closed in their faces. Gay's do not bother me, I have several in my family, both male and female. Including my son, and yes he knows were I stand on this issue. When he turned 18, he told me he was gay. I told him that he was now grown and it was his life to live as he saw fit. It's his life style and not mine. So, it does not effect me. He and I just agree to disagree. There is no yelling or name calling about it. We just don't agree and leave it at that. I do not push my life style on him and he does not push his on me.

I am bothered that its not legal for every happy couple to marry- gay or straight. To each his own, if they are happy and not committing any crimes, why shouldn't they be allowed to be wed just like anyone?
VERDA- how old are you?? You must be from the 1500's or something. Are you insane? You sound as though you are.

Life is too short so if it makes them happy then why not.... my wife's uncle is gay and I have know others that are... they have feelings just like everyone else and if they want to show their commitment by getting married who are we to say they can't... I never use to think this way but times change I guess

It does not personally affect me, but as a Christian, I believe it is a sin. That does not mean I hate people who are gay, I actually fell sorry for them. And I pray that they are released from their sin and find God and live right.
I do not go around bashing them and do not understand why people do or why some Gay individuals feel the need to bash Christians.
