Gay Marriage

[sigmapi1501]

I'm a straight guy no offense, but gay marriage should be banned, we already have enough AIDS going around, I still can't believe they haven't found a cure.

Spoken out of ignorance and possibly stupidity.

sigmapi1501 completely agree with your comment about ignorance.   maybe we should see if we can worry more about ignorance and less about someones sexuality.

I THINK GAY MARRAGE IS RIGHT... I THINK PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HAPPY IF THEY WANT TO GET MARRIED. ITS THERE LIFES NOT OURS AND IF THEY WANT TO HAVE A GOOD OR BAD MARRAGE LEAVE THEM ALONE ITNESS THERE HAPPY AND WE CANT JUGDE NOBODY BECAUSE EVERYBODY BETTER THN THE OTHER WE ALL THEY SAME. IM PRETTY SURE EVERYBODY HAVE A GAY FAMILY MEMBER *(I DO AND IM NOT AFRAID 2 SAY IT)*

I think it's a personal choice and not for some government to deside.

It is 2009 people..everyone is different.I think it should be the persons choice, if they wanna be with the same sex, why deny them or make them feel like they are different.

My uncle recently came out to my family, he got 4 kids, had a wife, but got divorced and also served in the military. very big shocker to the family, but we love him the same......

I don't believe in gay marriage but I do believe they should be able to have relationships openly and freely.  To each his/her own.

Sounds kind of Hitlerish-superficial

I think it is a civil rights issue no matter what your religion is or what you believe about homosexuality.

Probably so however, there are many xtians who somewhow believe that modern religions "own" the concept of marriage, even though the institution of marriage pre-dates reliable recorded history, (which includes the on-set of xtianity and arises out of "pagan" notions).

It is there life it does not bother me as long as they leave me alone we can be friends but don't make a move on me.

To each his/her own.  I have plenty of Gay friends and if they want to get married they should be allowed to get married.  Most of my friends want to get married because they want, and should have, the health insurance benefits given to non-working spouses.  My target is different. Straight or gay, I think that people want to consummate their union with marriage first off because they love each other in a deeper manner.  I am straight and got married because, I love my wife, and I wanted to have children. Health insurance fell into my priority sequence at about reason number twenty.

Anyone who speaks out against gay marriage is a bigot, plain and simple. They don't believe that gays deserve the same rights as straights. They fear these people because they're different and God forbid that everyone else in the universe does not want the same exact things they do (I use this phrase a bit literally, since most people who discriminate against are from the uber religious right). The saddest part is that this hate isn't something we're born with, it's taught.

It's beautiful when two people love each other.. men, women, whatever. They're not hurting anyone else and breaking any laws by loving each other, so why not let them have the same rights as other married couples? There were similar bans on interracial marriage back in the day, again because people were SCARED, and now it sounds completely ludicrous! It'll be the same once we all just learn to be decent, tolerant human beings and accept gay marriage.

And don't give me any lines about the bible forbidding it. I respect religion, but if you discriminate against the rights of gays then eat shellfish, wear gold, get tattoos, cruse, shave, or so much as lay a hand on a football, then you're a massive hypocrite because the bible forbids those things too! Basically, you're using the bible as an excuse to validate your own intolerance and hate.

It does not bother me if gay people want to marry and it's none of my business what they do.

[carty1]

I love everyone I just want people to marry who God say's they should marry and I don't see that the Bible states that you should marry same gender.

[lorettahknox]

I am not for gay marriage. I do not approve of that lifestyle. I do however believe that if you pay taxes you should not be denied the same rights as other citizens who pay taxes and as a matter of fact it's illegal. I also don't think that people who are gay should be disrespected or abused because they are homosexual. I think they should be treated with the same civility we expect from everyone else.
