it's unnatural
---------------------------------------------------------------
I just looked this up.......
The first reference to homosexuality in Scripture is in the infamous account of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19. The wickedness of the men of that city is obvious and is of such a severe nature that it brought divine destruction upon the entire city. Both Peter and Jude make reference to it and describe the sin of homosexuality as " ungodly, lawless, unnatural and extreme immorality" (see 2 Peter 2:6, 8; Jude 7).
In Leviticus 18:22 and 24 homosexuality is described as an "abomination" and "defiling."
In Leviticus 20:13 it is again described as an "abomination" but here as one worthy of the death penalty!
Deuteronomy 23:17 forbade the presence of a "sodomite" in the land of Israel.
An incident similar to that of Sodom and Gomorrah is seen again in Judges 19. Again the sin of homosexuality is described as "wickedness."
In 1 Kings 14, 15, and 22 the removal of male prostitutes from the land of Israel is viewed as a sign of much-needed spiritual reformation.
In Romans 1:18-32 the apostle Paul condemns the practice in the severest terms. Homosexuality is "unclean," "impure," "dishonoring to the body," "vile," "degrading / disgraceful," "contrary to nature," "unseemly/ obscene," "improper activity of a depraved mind," "unrighteous," "wicked," etc. Of particular importance to the apostle in this passage is the fact that homosexuality is "unnatural"--contrary to nature. In other words, nature itself teaches that the practice is wrong; we all know it intuitively. Homosexuality is, then, a particularly rebellious sin.
In 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 the apostle Paul speaks of homosexuals as "effeminate" and "abusers of themselves with mankind"
***************************** BUT, I would like to say that WHOsoever calls upon the name of the LORD shall be saved (their soul). He still loves you. He doesn't judge like mankind does. He is merciful.

Actually there isn't a thing in the bible about gay marriage. The most commonly used scripture to "prove" that homosexuality is not gods "will" ignores quite a few other requirements to get into gods favor. All I know is that Jesus said to come to him as a child. He never said "unless you are gay". Hate filled people will justify their behavior any way they can.
And if anyone can actually prove that heterosexual married christians don't have anal sex, I'll buy a hat and eat it.
As far as the old "sex is for reproduction" excuse, are you kidding? I'm 54, and reproduction is long past me. Am I supposed to stop having sex because I can't have a baby? I know its hard when you pick and choose what scripture you want to use to justify your black hearts, but really, folks, you might want to read the ENTIRE book.

Gay marriage hardly exists or is accepted by any church or religion that Im aware of, but I do know that people frown on gay marriages due to the fact that they think that being gay in itself is a imoral act, I guess the world isnt totally 100% ready for gay couples getting married, Im sure that in 25 years up the road things will be different, but my opinion is that its all about ignorance, this world isnt ready for gay marriages so therefore people still associate gay life styles with bad morals.

I think it is to the contrary, all forms of marriage are highly moral. There is nothing better than being committed to another person and taking care of each other for the rest of your lives, as the bond of marriage allegedly represents. I don't really think that anyone can tell you whether your marriage is right or not. That is for the partners to decide. Seems like a dumb idea to try to legislate it.

Depends on your point of view.
1) If you believe in God and that Marriage is a joining of two people in the eyes of God, then it is immoral. Because God stated that marriage is between a man and a woman. This is how life began and should be.
2) If you think man came from slime and evolution (IE: no God), then there is no moral issue. Marriage is nothing more than a piece of paper.

Morals has to do with actions defining what is right and wrong. Now many years ago there society had a much clearer definition of this and acted in a moral way.
Yes many people would think otherwise- but gay marriages is immoral meaning NOT MORAL. Intercourse in the rectum or donning on a fake "dick" and sticking it into another girls vagina is not right. Sorry but these reproductive organs were made for REPRODUCING. Not for people's convenience of achieving sexual climax in a perverted way. Yes --I did use the word "perverted" which means in an "unnatural" way. Now don't you think that it is "unnatural" I mean come on really. Think about it-having a guy stick his sexual organ in a rectum where stool comes out. Or a gal buying a fake male organ and then sticking into another girls vagina. That's natural????????????

*No doubt you do know what morality is, so i don't need to lay it out plainly.
*Secondly, you must be refering to a GAY UNION coz refering to a gay marriage is a misnomer.Marriage occurs only between a man and a woman.
*Only GAY Religions allow/recognize the suggested morality of gay unions.
I have already surpassed my quota on gay issues.Mark you, I personally have no problems with the gay community, and the views given here are of purely academic interest.Kapish?

God doesn't like it - it's clearly identified in the Bible.
If you don't beleive in God... Consider this: Man was made for woman - the way we know this is because only a man and a woman can reproduce together. It can't happen any other way. Also... Do the private parts match up on same sex couples? No - but they do with hetrosexuals. I'm sorry your confused about this but homosexuality will never be alright in the eyes of God. You may have been born "gay" but that is a hardship God gave you to overcome just so you could become stronger. With the help of God, you don't have to deal with this issue - give all your problems to him and great things will happen. I will pray for you, take care.

I think homosexuality is wrong. However, what I think is even more wrong is denying these people the right to marry. Who's to say the lawmakers won't start making rules that say gay people can't go to school or use our money, etc. It's just ridiculous. They should be allowed all rights ... just like everyone else!
