Gay Marriage

[burnkate]

I don't have objections to it  ... *bleep*'s are going to ride on dinosaurs and the world is going to go into an apocalyptic stage ...

[mlbevins]

As long as the Bible has a stranglehold on people's minds, there will never be an understanding reached about anything in this country. 

"God says no, so I say no."  Way to think for yourselves.  Way to cast a stone on a gigantic portion of the HUMAN RACE because your book tells you to.  Way to maintain the Golden Rule.  Way to be a narrow-minded, judgemental, hateful jerk.

People are...
...black & white & brown & yellow & red.
...tall & short & fat & skinny.
...rich & poor & democrats & republicans.
...gay & straight & bisexual.

We are also scared, confused, hopeful, trying to keep a job, hoping to buy a house, wishing for a new car, worried about that 15 extra pounds, wondering where we left our glasses when we took them off.  And on and on and on...

What makes someone different?  Why does that make them bad, or less than you?  Where do you draw the line?  How far is "too much"?

We are HUMANS.  All of us.  And all of us are the same.  Thus, we all are entitiled to EVERYTHING that the rest of of the world is.

Who do you think gave you the brain to think with.  The color of your skin and your body type cannot be chosen.  But they have a choice when it comes to sexuality.  You are born a specific gender and we were made man and woman.  Non man and man or woman and woman.

I put yes.  But to put it out there first, I am not gay- at all.  I feel that we can't ignore what exist.  And being gay is real.  My best friend is gay. And he is really really gay. No way in heck is a law going to scare him straight. Having said that, we need to think about all the gay people out there who are starting families.  The kids need health insurance, the parents need life insurance.  So we need to except the marriage so they get the most needed benefits that straight people have.

how can gay people have kids....think about it
u probably mean adopting kids right? and btw, i put no. i can't explain it. some gay ppl are alrite, but others are just...wow...thats all im going to say

Being gay doesn't mean your reproductive organs don't work.  Gay people throughout history have reproduced.  Obviously you're referring to an actual gay couple reproducing with each other...but clearly in today's age that isn't necessary to have kids.  There are more ways to have kids besides "traditional" reproduction and/or adoption.

As for the rest of the post, I don't understand what it has to do with your opinion of gay marriage.  Some gay people are quote, "wow," so they shouldn't be able to get married?  I don't follow the thought process.  A number heterosexuals are "wow," but surely you don't support banning heterosexual marriages...

Doesn't make sense.

Only for those that fall into the "wow" catagory.

My parents gave me those things.  You can NOT CHOOSE TO BE GAY!  This argument irritates me beyond belief!

"Okay kid...here's the deal.  You can pick a lifestyle now, right?  You can either be straight and marry the opposite sex.  OR!  You can be GAY!  You will be judged and hated by a huge portion of the world.  People will call you immoral and even call you evil!  Isn't that awesome?  You won't be able to get married and will most likely have trouble being able to provide insurance for your family.  Oh, and you also won't be able to have kids without attaining outside help!"

"Omgosh, that sounds like fun!  I PICK THAT ONE!"

Seriously.  Get over yourself.  It's not a choice.  You can no more pick your sexuality than you can pick to have blue eyes or curly hair.

I will agree to disagree with you kid.

[gena33612]

I will agree to disagree with you kid.

First, I am not a "kid" but I appreciate your patronizing tone.

Secondly, do you genuinely believe that you can choose to be not homosexual?  Why on earth whould anyone WANT to be part of such a hated group?  That makes NO sense.

Explain your reasons, please.  I am interested in opposing viewpoints.

It's not a choice.  You are just born with those genes and you cannot change the way you feel!!.

People like to be different.  Instead of trying to find someone of the opposite sex they just find what they can get to have a relationship.  No and I mean NO ONE will ever convense me that homosexuallity is genetic or a medical problem.  We were just not designed that way.  If read some of the earlier posts you would have seen that.

I'm not sure but, God dosen't want people to be gay. He made everyone a boy and girl. He wants more kids on this earth don't you get it? He wants next gen after next gen etc... How is that going to happen when guys like guys and girls like girls. I don't mean to be rude please for give me. I actually can't stand gay people.

I foreal can't stand a gay DUDE. I feel if i hang around that gay dude is going to try to kiss me. Thats Gross!@!!

But everyone desevers a life. Let them live as they want. God wants everyone to be happy. LET GAY PEOPLE BE HAPPY TOO. Just because there gay that dosen't mean they not human.

They are still God Kids and matter if they are over 85 and there gay STILL GOD KIDS. I have a gay friend and cuz. There good to hang around, I care for them, but im not gay.

It really sucks when you date someone for seven years and she's the one with the kids and you help raise them and because you can't get married you have no rights to see the children you helped raise.

just my personal opinion - i don't like gay people. i personally hate when there are known gay people in the locker room because then i feel REALLY uncomfortable because of a certain past experience. but thats just me, someone else may think its "hot" that another person of the same sex is checking them out in the locker room, but rest assured, that's not me  let me explain y i dont like them - one was staring at me when i had my f***ing pants off...that's all i need to say, and it may not be the greatest reason, but i don't care. btw, r YOU gay? also let me restate something i said before - some gay people are all right. i dont mind some of them. but the others....

[Jakki416]

I really don't see the big deal. If that is the way they want to live their lives then let them. It doesn't change anything in my life, so to be honest it doesn't bother me. They are still people, they just have a different sexual preference. Live and let live.

Someone else quoted this, but it's the exact answer I would have given had I gotten to this topic first. Well said.. er... typed.

i think wanda sykes said it best Why is everyone so worried about *bleep* that has nothing to do with them ,if you don't believe in same sex marriage then don't marry someone of the same sex

That would be fine but the guy public didn't want everyone to be accpeting of them and they want to teach tolerance to our childern and I DON'T THINK SOOOOO!  I will never teach my child that a guy relationship is right in any circumtance and my sister is a lesbian.

Does it really matter who marries who and how does it effect you personally?
