ROFL'D.....this made my night.

Anyhow, I personally think that gay marriage would be ok because people should have full freedom in the world, despite if God does not want to give them that freedom.

Re: Homosexual Marriage

I do not descriminate against homosexuals and lesbians. I think that they should be allowed to have a legal union with the same benifits as marriage, just don't call it marriage, because it's not!

Personally, I do think this is a fairly respectable opinion. But I just want to put thoughts on the table here. I believe society has managed to transform how marriage comes about and between whom. Personally, I doubt the church would have allowed atheists to marry a long time ago, yet now they do. Though this may still be the case in some places, religious beliefs often do not matter for many marriages today. Another thing that rarely happened but happens often now is divorce. It was likely considered unthinkable back then, but nowadays it's incredibly common.

The point I'm trying to make is that those instituting marriage have let a number of things slide since marriage came about, but homosexual marriage? Never, most seem to be saying. Hasn't the original form of marriage been bended and shaped enough for it to not matter anymore? This form of seemingly random "let that slide but not that" I find confuzzling. It seems to me like marriage is merely a civil union that just doesn't allow certain people.

gayness is gay...

True.

I personally think that gay marriage would be ok because people should have full freedom in the world, despite if God does not want to give them that freedom.

Well as far as I know, he gave it to us anyway. I wouldn't have thought God has had anything to do with taking away freedoms. Blame those in power at the moment. They're making the laws.

Re: Homosexual Marriage

This issue is especially tricky for me since I live in Massachusetts, one of the (I beleive) 2 states that allows gay marriage. I, personally, out of my religious beliefs, don't think that it should be allowed. However, my senator recently voted to not let the people vote on gay marriage, and this pisses me off very much. We should be allowed to vote on this very sensitive matter and what I consider to be a very personal issue and different opinion for each one of us. I do not descriminate against homosexuals and lesbians. I think that they should be allowed to have a legal union with the same benifits as marriage, just don't call it marriage, because it's not!

It most certainly is. Just because you don't believe it to be doesn't mean it isn't. You say you would want us to have a legal union with the same benefits as marriage but not call it marriage? Isn't that discrimination, as well?

Besides, letting people vote on it would just allow religion to enter politics even more.

Exactly! Forget God! If God is against life, liberty, or property (unless justified[like if all gay people are evil which I very highly doubt]), then I would only assume that God is really evil.

Edit:

gay marraige should not be allowed...gayness is gay...all gay people should die...and when they die...they shall go to HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What you define as Hell is probably what I would define as a heaven. My heaven is a place where people honor other's life, liberty, and property without using their liberty to reduce other's life, liberty, or property unless there is a justified cause. This heaven could be a physical place, but as it remains right now, it only defines the way I feel and just hypothetical in regards to the reality that everyone shares.

Re: Homosexual Marriage

Why not? Its the same as heterosexual marriage, just two people who love each other. Homosexual or heterosexual; it doesn't affect the love and the connection they share. Your personal/religious beliefs shouldn't infringe on the rights of others.

I'm pretty sure it is, by definition, between a man and a woman, but if that cannot be change, something of similar importance should be given to gay people who want to be able to do something similar.

Well, given that the definition was invented by humans, it isn't like it appeals to some objective universal definition that exists outside humanity.

Up until the 1980s, many medical journals defined homosexuality as a mental disorder...definitions change all the time.

Re: Homosexual Marriage

I want to have my say in on this.

Homosexual marriage is misunderstood. People have the right to choose their sexuality. Whether it be gay, lesbian, hetro, etc... They have the right to be any one.

I do not understand why it is so wrong. In my country (canada), it has been the talk of the government for years.

People should be more understanding to this.

Re: Homosexual Marriage

I don't see anything wrong with gay, bi, lesbo or anything??

The only thing I'm against is getting a sex change.. You were born to be either a boy or a girl and shouldn't be changed. If you were suppose to be a boy you would be a boy, if you were suppose to be a girl then you would be a girl ^_^

To tell the truth I'm bi and I don't care haha.
But I don't see myself marrying a guy 0_0

Um...isn't half the point that people don't actually -choose- that they are instead -born- that way?

Why?

Re: Homosexual Marriage

Why?

It's just my opinon. I don't care what anyone else thinks.
People are for it and people are against it.
And I'm against because like I said.

If you were suppose to be a boy you would be a boy, if you were suppose to be a girl then you would be a girl

Am I right? haha

Then chances are your opinion hasn't been tested enough to have any merit.

If you were suppose to be a boy you would be a boy, if you were suppose to be a girl then you would be a girl

How do you figure? What conditions necessitate that physical gender is always appropriate? Would you perhaps propose that God decides? What about people with inter-sexed conditions, who aren't fully male or female?

Am I right? haha

I very much doubt you are right, and I believe modern biology and medicine provide sufficient evidence against your perspective, although as a stand-alone field psychology is still pretty backwards and might give you support.

Re: Homosexual Marriage

Yes. Everyone has opinions. Even people like Hitler, Charles Manson, Ted Kazynski, and our current president. Some opinions happen to be BAD OPINIONS.
