Why are you?
.

Answer 2

I'm against it

I'm against all marriage, gay or straight.
I consider it an outdated institution that really is obsolete in modern society.

And as for gay marriage, my somewhat unconventional view is:
Okay, so you want to get married. Why?
Why do you want to conform to what straight people do, or get to do?
I mean, aren't 'we' supposed to be different from 'them'?
Acceptance is fine, tolerance is fine, ending the violence is fine. Showing people that being gay is okay is fine.
Mainstreaming being gay, though, isn't the answer. I mean, there won't be anything vibrant or distinctive about being gay at all! It will end up as just one big homogenized culture.

Whoop-dee-f**kin'-doo.

I'm all for coming up with some way to extend the tax/legal benefits that married straight couples enjoy to gays, but let's do it in a way that doesn't merely parrot the practices of the hordes of straight people out there.


Love is love.
Whether gay or straight, I don't think you need a piece of paper from an obsolete religious-based social institution to demonstrate that.

Answer 3

The "absolute" definition of marriage is not 1 man + 1 women, this is our current definition of it. It is not even the biblical definition, as it is only the case for church leaders. There are and have been many definitions of marriage including both multiple husbands and wives, and in the middle ages two brothers, potentially extending to two men.

While you may be morally against it, which is your prerogative, there is no reason to force your morality on others through civic laws. For a good example of why enforcing morality through law, look at Islamic nations and their disregard for human rights. Civic law should be about just social behavior and how the society functions.

Answer 4

There are a few reasons I am against gay marrage. First on a biblical standered. It says a man shal not lay with another man like he does a woman. Second on my own ethcial views, it is something very nasty and dirty that should be hid if you are, not flawnting it around. Lastly politicly, like everyone else I believe this unhole thing should not get you a tax refund. I am also against any pastor that will marry a gay couple. I am not judgeing and will never judge, but a pastor who directly defies the bible in Gods house is not a good pastor to me.
Don't mistake hating gay marraige as hating gays cause that is so far from the truth. I am a christain and I believe you should love everyone.

Answer 5

I'm not! Would love to be able to legally marry my partner so that we have the same rights as hetero couples.
**EDIT**
As suspected, those against it first state religious views. For the record, I don't want to marry for tax breaks, you moron. I want the same rights, like visiting my partner in the hospital if she were in an accident, which we DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE. I don't give two rips about "tax breaks".

Answer 6

I am not, I am against the government defining marriage at all. That is not the place of the federal government.

Answer 7

I am not against Gay Marriage...

Answer 8

I am against people like you asking unintelligent questions.

Answer 9

all for it. No person should be able to tell anyone else that they cannot spend their lives together as far as the law is concerned

Answer 10

Because the definition of marriage is one man + one woman. Any loosening or perverting of this definition automatically opens the door to future variations that are even more perverse, such as polygamy, beastiality, pedophilia, incest, etc., etc.
It also opens the door to taxpayers and insurance purchasers having to foot the bill for dependant coverage for these union. I don't believe that should be allowed.

Further, God sees this as such an abomination that I believe once we sanction this as a nation it will be the end of America as we know it. History has shown (Sodom & Gomorrah, Roman Empire) that God doesn't take kindly to open practice and tolerance of this particular sin.

All sin except blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (rejecting Christ) can be forgiven. Repent now before it's too late!
