what is your opinion on gay marriage?

Question

tell me your opinion!
and dont be a stupid person to this question.
answer with good reasoning

Answer 1

"don't be a stupid person to this question," why not you are. I think that marriage is a set up, and I personally would not do it again. But if people want to get married that's their right to do so.

Answer 2

Firstly I think marriage should be between 2 ppl, not 2 ppl and the state and government. That is ridiculous. Being legally married is jus a way 4 the govt. 2 keep tabs on u. Secondly I beleive n e 2 ppl who r in love should be able to be married if they want to.This is America land of the free!I'm married in my heart since I'm not legally allowed to be married..for the moment n e ways. I look forward to the day wen I can stand b 4 God and my family and country and marry the woman I love(more than life itself).It'll be a wonderful beautiful day.And hopefully soon also.Thank you for letting me voice how I feel about this,I feel much better now.Happy New Year every1!

Answer 3

I'll start by saying I'm gay.

I used to be very opposed to the issue until maybe last month. I was adamant about the fact that it should only be allowed for men and women because I had always believed it as I grew up. I didn't think it should have been banned, but rather clarified as a union between a man and a woman.

Now I've really begun to rethink my position on the issue. While it is not wholly important to me, even being a gay American, I do think of it now as an equality issue. I think that it is a fight similar to Women's Rights and Civil Rights because it's about a minority group fighting for equality.

I support it now, because I think that gays should be able to get married if that means they get all the same benefits as a straight couple.

Answer 4

Personaly I dont see a need for any formal marriage, I think it's a big waste of money better spent somewhere else. Most people are getting divorced after a year or two, anyway. I will NEVER get married, although I think a handfasting is a good idea,as that can be renewed yearly.
Marriage does not gaurantee fidelity, that's for sure, no matter what sexual preferences are involved. Only dedication will do that, and that depends on the people involved, and unmarried folks are capable of that, too.

Answer 5

since this is my opinion anyone else reading this answer can't be offended because i have the right to freedom of speech.....i'm a christian, and to me homosexuality is a BIG sin....not only does the Bible state it as a sin it is a disgusting way of life that ends only in strife, arguments, and hatred. I honestly have no problem if someone wants to be gay or lesbian, that is their CHOICE, after all it is a choice not a designated giving at birth as some people say. But for the sake of every straight person on earth, keep it behind closed doors, i don't care if they're proud of being gay but i'm straight and i really don't appreciate seeing all the PDA outside on the streets in public. One thing i ask is that if someone is gay or lesbian, expect to be treated like a regular person with the same rights, and expect to get put down by those that voice their opinions more verbally than most, not saying its a good thing but don't go and try to get special privledges from the government on special rights, it'll just make everyone else hate gays more because they are "protected by the government". so i have no problem with someone being gay, but don't hit on me, and don't give me the bullshit of it's not a choice, leave me out of your lifestyle and we'll all get along fine....doesn't mean i have to like it tho...

Answer 6

The only logical explanation for banning gay marriage is religion, since we are not a theocracy, there is no reason it should not be allowed. The problem is that most people value their own religious beliefs over other people's rights. The only solution is for people to be smart enough to grant others rights that they might still be uncomfortable with.

Answer 7

I think it's ok. My aunts are both gay and are finding a state in which gay marraige is legal. They also plan to adopt a child. I think it's alright honestly, as long as they love each other more than "just friends" and that they both feel the same way.

But honestly, you are going to get different opinions on this matter. It's a different scenario to people. Some people think it's wrong since they're religion says so. Some people think it's just gross. Some people are actually gay and think it's fine. Some people have family that are gay and think it's fine. Some people just don't care about it, and think it's their business anyways.

So it all matters on the people. Tell us, what's your opinion then? =]

Answer 8

I am not so sure. Marriage is just a way of making two people into one. It is only a piece of paper, a contract. From this, I would be fine with it, but I do not believe being gay is a choice. I believe it is a mental disorder because it is unnatural for two people of the same sex to love each other. But I would say gay marriage is fine.

Answer 9

Whatever another person wants to do is none of my business. I am not threatened in any way by another person's life choice.

If a person is opposed to gay marriage, the extent of that opposition should be that they don't marry another person of the same gender, no more than that.

I also don't think it's right to force another person to be lonely or to lie just because they have a different orientation.

Answer 10

I would not recognize any such union. My opinion is the same as Gods, about being gay and or gay people trying to place the same value on their living in sin as the value placed upon the unity of marriage. Marriage is the only entity on this earth that God has sanctified. Marriage of a man & woman is a symbolic representation of Christ & his Church. Christ is reffered to as the groom and his people are his bride. The oneness shared between a man & a woman represents the oneness shared between humans & our savior Jesus Christ. Marraige is a picture of ones relationship with Christ. Marraige is Not for our own saticfaction or to meet our own needs, although as marraige is honored in the way God intened it to be our needs are in turn met. Marraige is a witness to the rest of the world of the commitment, love, respect, honor, closeness, & fullfilling wholeness experienced only through knowing Jesus christ.
Marraige was created by God & it is intened to glorify Him.
The idea of a gay marraige is an abomination to God.

Answer 11

I think that to each his own.

I'm a woman just about to become divorced from her husband after 11 years. So us being hetreosexual hasn't made our marriage stand the test of time.

At the end of the day a relationship is a commitmenet and it's whether or not you want to make it official.

I don't have a problem with it.
