Default What has a gay marriage ever done to you?

Who does a gay marriage hurt?

The children? Does being gay prevent a person from being a caring and responsible parent? No. Or worse, it might make the child gay? Aren't there worse things in life?

The community? Why should anyone else care what people do with there love life as long as it isn't harmful to anyone else?

The country? Unless Jerry Falwell is right and gay people did cause september eleventh, then how is gay marriage detrimental to the country as a whole?

Default The Next Question

What in the lives of heterosexuals would change? Martin and I would still be living in our house, with our kid, driving our cars, doing our jobs, we'd have one more piece of paper in our filing cabinet. Do they think we will cease to exist if they persist in not allowing us to legally marry? Since the Lawrence decision, they can no longer lock us up in jail for it. Straight people don't have to look in my filing cabinet, and I'd prefer they didn't.

I really hate liver and onions. I can't stand the smell of it cooking, and the idea of people eating it, makes me sick. So you know what? I don't have any. I have a nice cheeseburger instead.

If you don't like gay marriage, don't have one, eat your cheeseburger and shut the hell up.

Default YOU ARE SO RIGHT

I see no reason to not allow gays to marry. People need to start accepting people for who they are, and give them the same rights.

Default I am for gender neutral marriages.

I say we strip the churches (for whatever religion) of any LEGAL marriage rights. They can hold their ceremonies in order to bless the couple, it's up to them if the they want to do this however. We cannot force change in religions by law, either the churches change themself or not at all. I am sure that evan gay couples can find some churches willing to wed them. I even saw an gay priest on the television a few days ago, and yes he lives with his boyfriend just as any married couple would do.

The legally binding marriage however should be solely in the registration of the couple with the authorities. This registration should be available for all couples regardless of gender combination, the couples gender combination should just not be a an issue. I don't evan see a reason for them to be pairs, Islam allow for four wifes for instance. I remember an Swedish aid worker that brought two wifes with him when he returned after working in Africa for several years. He divorced both of them rather then just one as the law required him to do. The three of them however continued to live together. People should not be forced to dodge the law with trickery like that.

Default Gay Marriages

Lets get a clue people. Being gay is perverted. Who does it hurt? Society. Namely, perverting society as a whole from adults to children to sending the wrong message. Remember, unless raped you choose every sex partner you ever had. Thus being a homosexual is a choice. No getting around it. And it hurts society to pervert society. Thus now you know if you didn't know.

IF ANYONE SUPPORTS GAY MARRIAGES OR UNIONS THEN THEY ARE EITHER A PERVERT OR SUPPORT PERVERSION; THEY CAN TAKE WHICH EVER POISON THEY WISH. AND, YES PEOPLE SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND NOT ALLOWED TO DO WHAT IS WRONG. AND, YES WE AS SOCIETY , WE AS GOVERNMENT, WE AS THE MAJORITY SHOULD CONTROL PEOPLE/GAYS AND OUTLAW THEM FROM PERVERTING US/SOCIETY.

You are welcome to disagree with me but you seem to have a need to learn some tolerance. Here are a link, just for you: http://www.religioustolerance.org/

WRONG HONEY. THERE IS NO NEED FOR TOLERANCE WHEN YOU TOLERATE WRONG AND CLAIM IT IS RIGHT. THE ONLY TOLERANCE YOU NEED IS KNOWING THAT MEN SIN. AND, WE SHOULD TOLERATE THE FACT THAT AS LONG AS MEN SIN AND KNOW THAT WHEN THEY SIN THEY ARE WRONG THEN WE SHOULD TOLERATE THE FACT THAT MEN WILL CONTINUE TO SIN BECAUSE THEY ARE ... MEN THIS OF COURSE INCLUDES WOMEN. BUT NO ONE SHOULD TOLERATE WRONG TO BE RIGHT.

YOU NEED TO QUIT USING THE WORD TOLERANCE AS A COP OUT FOR CONDONING OR ENABLING PEOPLE TO SIN.
