Do you believe in same sex marriages....?

Question

I dunno I felt like asking this cause my mom doesn't agree with them. I on the other hand do. I mean its not hurting anyone. Yes maybe if they have kids it can cause the kid some problems. But they are people too why not let them have the same rights as opposite sex people. The only thing is I would most likely not like them to adopt a kid. I dunno why but I mean some kid got into trouble at school in my area because he wrote I love my moms and he went to a catholic school. So the kid got punished for the school's ignorance

Answer 1

personally i dont think anybody should get married but

i think everyone should have the right to

and everyone should be able to adopt what was with that? if same sex peoples kids will have problems its not cause of the 2 moms or dads itsjust cause the kid got problems like the straight mommy daddy families have.

Answer 2

Lots of people say I don't mind same sex marriages but I don't think they should adopt or have kids.

It's kind of like saying it's okay but not THAT okay.

I have mixed feelings and it's difficult not to be contradictory or hypocritical to myself here.

I don't mind what anyone does as long as it hurts know one else.

Having two fathers or two mothers is no more harmful to the child than having only one parent. As stated, we should never lose sight of the fact that a father and a mother is whats best for the child under normal circumstances.

On another note, humans have been changing physically and mentally from the day we were born onto the planet, so looking at the larger picture this really makes no difference to anything and we will no doubt one day become a single sex
race. That is, there won't be male / female, just one sex that produces offspring just as in some creatures in the wild.

So the real question should be, how long before we see male/female marriages as being abnormal?

"Hard Rock" -

Sorry I think that's BS and so naive that I can't believe I'm bothering replying. But dirty priests that play with young boys never was and never will be acceptable and is nothing to do with this, nevertheless the very unacceptable goings-on you speak about was not helped by that stupid book you rave about now in defense! From a scientific view point your arguments are pointless and from a religious one they are not much better.

From a religious standpoint then yes you are correct in what marriage is, however the question was not specifically religious and hence maybe why it wasn't in the religious category. My brother and his wife were not married in a church under christian or any other beliefs other than those moulded by common sense and love.

We could define many different types of marriages, e.g.
the marriage of music and dance,
the marriage of two or more colours etc.
the marriage of two people.

You can stay misguided all your life or you can wake up and realize that the bible has been outgrown by common sense.

Luckily I feel that such naivety has no place in todays society and it's the ignorant fools that do the harm, not the innocent folks just trying to be happy.

Answer 3

The frequent blurring of the lines between right and wrong is going to be the downfall of this civilization.
Being tolerant of more and more perversions only lead to people pushing the envelope more and more getting society to accept more and more perverse things like what went on in the Catholic Churches with boys and Priests. The Catholics pushed it under the rug for many years. They can not deny that. The Priest are some men that possibly would be better off getting married, (not to each other though.)

This is what a marriage is :Genesis 2:24 "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."
Now notice that the man had a father and a mother, not two fathers or two mothers and he got himself a wife, NOT another husband.
Like produces like, so how are homosexuals reproducing? They produce by converting others. It is demonic according to Bible classes I have been to. Articulate people can twist the Bible or try to discount what it says. Even in Nature the animals have a code to live by. We humans often do not want a code to live by. We say "just do it."
Now do not accuse me of trying to "ram the Bible down your throat" I still have freedom of speech the last time I checked the constitution of the United States although some want people who disagree with them to be called bigots and homophobes. You can live with someone of the same sex but it is NOT a marriage regardless of what a piece of paper says. What it is, is sin.

Answer 4

I don't have anything against gay people. I do however believe that God created marriage, it's not just about paperwork, it is intended to be between a man and woman, thats that. BUT I do believe that gay people should be able to have civil unions in which they have all the same rights legally as a married couple would, I have heard very disturbing stories of two gay long time partners and how they couldn't even visit each other when one of them got sick in the hospital because they weren't family,how insurance wasn't covering the other, that was just heartbreaking. Everyone deserves the right to live their life as richly as they possibly can.

Answer 5

I totally believe in them. Why shouldn't anyone not be able to get married and fall in love. No matter who it is. Also, why should anyone not be able to not have kids. I totally agree with people of the same gender adopting. Then, the kid will grow up not being ignorant, like that Catholic school. But, the kid will face some problems.

Answer 6

Ultimately this is a moral question for the individual. Who are they harming? Each other. Marriage is a union of a man and woman which usually produces children. Children need the presence of a man and woman in their lives. This is the ideal. Not too many of are living out the ideal. Sex and marriage are the most perplexing areas in our lives.

Answer 7

I do. I think gay marriages are OK, and also a good thing. I think gay and lesbian couples should be able to adopt children. As long as it's a stable home environment with compassion and respect, and the parents are responsible and kind people, I see no reason why gays and lesbians shouldn't be allowed to adopt kids.

Answer 8

i think it should be aloud marreg theas days is more or less the union between 2 people who love eachother then anything. i mean athists can get married cant they... im athist and i plan on getting married so why not two people of the same sex. and frankly i beleave that gays and lesbians have more of a right to get married then strait people. i mean look at all the critisisum they have to endure just by presenting this idea. thats alot to put on someone and if they get through it then i beleave that they have more of a right then anyone else, this critisism does something to a gay marreg then a strait one, they make shur they love eachother b4 they get into it i live in canada so its alowd and ill bet my life on the fact that in 5 or so years the precent of gay marriges ending in devorce will be alot lower then strait merriges. but thats just my 2 cents.

Answer 9

The issue with the kids is not an issue. Right now many gays and lesbians have kids, but their kids are not protected because their parents cannot marry. Gay marriage would actually be protecting these kids. I don't want to marry a guy, but there is no reason I should care if gay guys want to marry. Might make them settle down a little is what I say.

Answer 10

I think its fine. People can't help who they love and its ridiculous to prevent someone from getting married. Their aren't harming anyone. I also think its fine for them to adopt, statistics show kids grow up the same, its not like because their parents are gay they will be gay. I mean guess who gay people came from? Straight people! As far as the kid getting in trouble at school, your right, that is plain ignorance on the schools part.
