As long as a man with a vasectomy can civilly marry a woman with a hysterectomy - both of them divorced atheists - I can see no reason to prevent gays from marrying civilly and enjoying all the rights, privileges, & responsibilities as the first couple.Discuss politely, please
I think marriage is about partnership not procreation. I have no problem whatsoever with gay marriage. If they love each other and want to commit to each other, who am I to tell them no?
Amen to that
My firends are gay, and there is no difference between them and any of my other friends except for who they love, which affects no one besides themselves. Not letting gay people get married because they dont like people with certain stereotypes that are often not true(you honestly would have no way of knowing the two friends i am talking about were gay unless you asked them). Legalizing intolerance and prejudice is the most idiotic thing i have ever heard, and yet politicians actually believe it is a reasonable position. *sigh*
Legalizing intolerance? What the heck? Intolerance is always legal. You force it, or the lack of it, and all you create is war.
Huh?
Our country is based on God and Christianity. And God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve. I hate the idea of gay marriage but I think it will eventually be allowed because someone will eventually use the 3 Freedoms as an excuse to perform it
Let me quote part of the Pledge of Allegiance "Under God, Indivisble"
It doesnt say under Buddah, or Under Allah. It says God, which is the Hebrew God and I believe the one true God, but I dont want to get in a religious debate.
Everyone on this earth was created by a Man and a Woman, that is physically how you make a child dont you think(Whatever God you believe) if gay marriage was ok that He would have made it possible to concieve a child that way?
So you're against the atheists marrying? I didn't pick my heterosexual couple out of a hat...
Your entire position is based on religion and that is the only reason this topic has become an issue in america today. Also you talk about conception well it's not like if they are married all of a sudden a sharp decrease will happen in babies born each year. So yeah why does homosexual marriage matter it doesn't affect your busineess, religious, or normal day life why does it matter?
What is wrong with love in any form if it is mutual. Ignorance unfortunately is not bliss as it hurts people. I also think the real issue is symantics. It is not necessary to call it marriage. Gays aren't straight so maybe partners or some other useless politically correct name would do. The real point is to give the same rights to two people who commit to each other for better or worse richer or poorer and in sickness and in health, God or whatever that higher power is called is the judge of this not me.
This nation may have been predominately christiant, but given that a large reason why people came to the colonies was to practice whatever religion they chose, then I would say that America was not founded as a Christian nation.
Gays/Lesbians should have the same right to marry (who they want), period. It's religion run amock otherwise.
The way I see it, let the individual churches decide if they want to marry gay couples. Marriage is religious (if it isn't it's a civil union). The government interfering with religion against the law, and not just any law, the Constitution.
That's what pedophiles say...
Unfortunately no it's not. I got married in a court house because neither my wife nor I are religious and we didn't want a big wedding. Our marriage is still valid though. Marriage is a legal contract which is part of the reason why divorces can be so messy, they can be caused by breaches in that contract.
In a pedophiles case the love is NOT mutual. The children are not old enough to make that decision or understand those feelings and therefore the love is simply not mutual.
