Topic: What do you think of Gay Marriage ? | |
---|---|
well...in my opinion what they do is their business...and...I believe that most Americans look at the " behavior" as unatural...not normal...all the way to down right wrong...so...that being said... why would we want to make legal...a behavior we know is not normal or natural...if we legalize Gay marriage...at what point in time...do we start promoting / teaching that lifestyle in school ?...

what gives you the right to decide to whom i may tie my monetary assets? a LEGAL marriage is not the same thing as a RELIGIOUS one. Then would you have any problem with a legal arrangement that gave you all those rights, but just was not called "marriage"? i do have a problem with it, yes. it's a way of separating things...making it as if the union between two gays is somehow less than the union between to heteros. it diminishes the commitment. many gays WANT to promise to love, honor, and cherish...when i married, it was by a justice of the peace. the ceremony wasn't religious, yet it was called marriage. my church didn't sanction my marriage, since i wasn't married by my priest. yet i was still married. um, why can't gays do the same? |

I don't believe in it, but that's probably got a lot to do with the fact that I don't understand it. It doesn't effect me one way or another, so if those that believe in it want it...you'll hear no protests from me. ![]() I don't think anyone wants it ! If this is being read correctly, you don't think anyone wants gay sex? What about, maybe, gay people? Exempting a few people here and there, I'm staggered at the level of ignorance here. You're not reading it correctly...again ! Ah, you're speaking of gay marriage and not gay sex. My apologies, this thread has somewhat derailed into intolerance about anything gay. But, once again, for gay marriage, I'm gonna say that gay people want it. Also, I don't think it's being recognized that marriage has no religious background what so ever. Marriage in a religious sense was started by the church during the middle ages. It was a way to tax, make more money, and control the populace. C'est la vie. Is there anything really wrong with sharing benefits with someone you love that happens to be of the same sex? What does that really hurt? What problems could sharing benefits at a civil level be? If the thought of two dudes pumping each other in the butts offends you, think of it like a business proposal. Edit: Also, you really can't tell me you don't dig lesbian porn. That would just be gay. I'm a military man. I've put my life at stake to uphold the Constition of the United States... the People, and our way of life. I don't agree with same sex marriage, or the gay lifestyle....But I'll fight to the death, anyone who trys to take away their right to live that way. Do I make myself clear ! |

I give you respect for being in the military, but I'm sorry, marriage is not mentioned in the constitution anywhere.
I love the "I defend rights" argument by people justifying their intolerance. If someone wants to do you in the butt, you have the right to say no. That's about it. I'm going to guess a majority (if not all) of the people in this country would prefer you stay out of both their pants and their bedrooms. |

It will start immediately...for example....look at Massachusetts. Many lesbians have kids, and do not want them being harassed at school by other kids. So it will be taught in schools that same sex marriage is okay....because it's legal. |

The bill of rights does not equal the constitution. Also, I don't think it is. The 14th Amendment contains the "Pursuit of Happiness" clause, but it doesn't mention marriage. Marriage really isn't mentioned anywhere. Honestly, if you can find something regarding this, post it. I'm very curious. |

There are many, many Americans who are not close minded and do not think it's unnatural or not normal. |

there are a whole lot more who agree with me on this...
|

Fortunately, people are becoming more and more open minded and realizing it isn't a bad thing. Let two people who are in love get married. They're not bothering you.

So, just because you think something isn't normal, you just want it to go away? To not have to see it? What is normal anymore these days, anyway? |
