are you for or against gay marriage?

Question

personally i'm all for it. my best friend, he's gay. i'm not but still...

okay, here is my view:
i'm for because everyone should have the right to be with whoever they want.

and I am a christian.

i also think it would be easier for them if everyone would just accept it as a part of someone's life. as sillysis... said, a lot of gay people commit suicide. i think this is because they dont feel accepted. i mean, this one girl at my school last year came out as bi, and all the girls were so mean to her!

Answer 1

100% For. It pisses me off that some people think they have the right to tell other people who they are allowed to love. GRRR.

Answer 2

I'm all for people of the same sex forming a legal union, which permits them to have all the legal sanctions, and rights of married couples, except for adoption and giving birth to children.

If a woman conceives by her husband, and then hooks up with another woman, the husband should have custody of the child.

The furor over this question currently, I think is basically one of semantics. The word "marriage" has until very recent times, always been understood to be a legal(religious too)publicly recorded, and recognized union between a man and a woman; primarily for the legal and social safeguard of any progeny that might issue from this union.

Although I have no objections to "gay marriage" as such, I do feel that children should be raised only by heterosexual couples. It's hard enough to deal with the stresses and strains of contemporary society, without having the extra burden of a question of sexual orientation. I think that's too much to ask of a child or adolescent.

Answer 3

It should be left up to the individual. I am not gay (experimented a little after high school) but 2 people of the same sex has absolutely no effect on my life. People always complaining and arguing over this question is a waste of time and air. Go figure out how to end the war not stop gay marriages. I am all for it if that is what makes those 2 people happy!!!!

Answer 4

I don't think a person has to be married to some one to love them. I believe they should live their lives the way they want, but they don't have to shove it down every ones throat because they are proud they are gay and want to get married. I have no problem with any one that wants to live together as a family and even raise children or that they are gay. People will accept them for who they are and what they are if they will stop their insanity. There are other ways to work for their insurance coverages and benefits without trying to go against the word of God. We all fall short, and we all sin. Marriage is between a man and a woman. God said it that settles it. I don't recall where Adam and Eve had a written marriage license from their state. Let us not judge or try to change what is the Lords.

Answer 5

I'm for anything that gives people happiness. Think about it, a straight couple gets married and have a 50 or more percent chance of getting divorced and you've got a gay couple that has to fight to get married. The chances of their marriage lasting has got to be better. Either way, love will find a way; I don't really think it is our right to chose, it should be theirs and whoever is involved.

Answer 6

I am for it. I am not gay, but what harm does it do to me and other straight people for gay people in love to get married? Absolutely none! This is just like the abortion rights issue in that these are very personal matters and the government does not have any right to have a say.

Answer 7

For. Gays fall in love and want to be partners just as straights do. My husband and I are straight, but we have two friends who are gay. My husband and I have been married for nearly 11 years. Our friends have been together for nearly 10 years. We 'do the same things' and share many of the same concerns ... the 'difference' is that if one of us gets sick, and must go to the ICU, the other can go in and visit. If that happens to our friends, they can't go in and visit. If one of us dies, the other is 'responsible' for the body and what to do with it. If one of our friends dies, their 'other' can not have that responsibility. We file our taxes 'jointly' and they can't. It's just WRONG in so many different ways. Our friends would be married if it were legal. I wish the 'world' would come to it's senses and make right what has long been 'wrong.' We are ALL Catholics, by the way, and we are ALL 'religious' ...

Answer 8

I'm for gay marriage. You can't help who you fall in love with and I think people should be with whoever they want. It's their life, so I say let them live it however they want.

Answer 9

I'm alllll for it. One of my uncles and a few of my good friends are gay (male and female). I personally don't see the difference between straight marriage and gay marriage. You get married because you love someone, that's all that should matter.

As for the whole argument about having children... there are plenty of straight couples who get married and don't have children OR adopt. What's the difference there?

And I live in Canada. It's legal here.

Answer 10

i really don't think it matters if someones gay or not. we're all people. we should have the same rights. God loves all of us, no matter what. Its wrong for people to hate one anouther in His name. i hope people in this country can realize that. im not gay, i have friends that are, and i just want them to be happy.

Answer 11

I believe anyone can be with who they want to. It shouldn't matter. We are all different. We are all unique. Just like how some people hate emos. That isn't right. Why are we so judge mental? so critical?
