First off the couples did not break the law because the mayor of san fran made same sex marriage legal, whether the state chooses to charge anyone it would have to be the mayor he technically broke the law, not the couples, and as martin luther king said, "UNJUST LAWS MUST BE BROKEN!"

if we dont help homosexuals how will they turn away?

My best friend is gay and he is incredibly happy with who he is. Therefore he does not need help. Besides, the success rates of homosexuals switching to heterosexuality is between 0 and 0.1%. You're wasting your time, genius.

quite frankly i do not understand the hoopla that is growqing about gay marriages. it is no ones business that they of the same sex decide to get married. i have heard enough arguments on how marriage is sacred and all that bs and i am amazed by what a set of ignorant and homophobic peole can come up with. while i would not particularly say i am familiar with the homosexual culture, i can say i am familiar with human emotions. Gay marriage threatens nobody because it is an agreement between to people to a lifetime commitment rather than a whole nations business. By trying to place what homosexuals can do or can not do, the society is placing sanctions on human freeedom and equality. This is a way to say that because some group of heterosexuals decide that a woman and a man is the perfect match then every other person choosingto be man and man or woman and woman is wrong. i am not gay but i am human and i believe everyone is entitled to plan a wedding and fanatisize about walking down the aisle. By the way if anyone thinks gay marriage would diminish the value of marriage and commitment it would not. What diminishes marriage is a bunch of peole homosexual or heterosexual who go into a marriage with the wrong intentions or wiythout knowledge of what for better or for worse means. This is my position and i stand by it

Redrepublican, I am curious. What do you mean by "helping gays see what their actions are doing?"

By the way, KarenKoltrane, thanks for the web link.

we should not just avoid homosexuals! that will not solve anything. we need to love them and help them see what there actions are doing.

I forget the reference but here goes,

"If a man knows the good he ought to do and doesnt do it, sins."

(NIV)

if we dont help homosexuals how will they turn away?

Redrepublican Esq., HIS Secretary

this post has proudly been deemed racism free by the Honorable Coalition of Bushsupporter, Marine 16, notsojoey, FreeMarketLover, and Redrepublican and their endless pursuit to cast out the bigotry that has infiltrated youthNOISE.

the people are representing this country to other nations as a country full of gays but as a country that should have equal rights. everything in the bible is backwards, it cancels everything else out. god created everyone equal and he wants us to act that way yet he says its wrong to hang out with gays?if two people lovwe each other very much and want to make that bond final, then let them get married, its not your job to go around ruining these peoples lives jsut because some ?unreal? diety tells you to. if gay people want to gert married then let them.if they love each other, let them love each other. screw god and the damn bible its the people's choice! why should you be able to ruin the love they have? heh, i bet i sound kinda like a hippie. but anyways! whats up with president bush wanting to make a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage? hes just a stupid idiot. once again the constitution would be canceling itself out. "all men are created equal" gay marriage is unlawful and ruins the sanctity of marriage" screw the sanctity of marriage!! any marriage between two people who
L O V E each other is special. why should it matter what some stupid president thinks? even if it is banned gay people are still going to get married. if they love each other, so be it! hell, why doesnt every single gay person in the world stand in front of the white house in front of *shudders* bush, andf get married!!! I HATE BUSH and i think anyone who isnt open minded enough to accept gays is stupid. thats my opinion and im sticking to it!!!

Gay marrige is wrong. Period. Jesus told us in first Corinthians six nine to avoid even hanging out with homosexuals.

Well I guess I'm screwed, being that my bestest-best friend in the whole world is gay and all.

who are you to say that homosexuality is morally right or wrong.

If stupidity has no right to say homosexuality is morally right or wrong, neither do you.

It seems unlikely that a few homosexual (marriages/civil unions/whatever makes you happy) would give the entire world the impression that the United States is a nation comprised only of homosexuals...

I don't care if gay couples make out on the streets or whatever, but I do mind if they get married. No matter what race you are, or how old you are, or of what sex you are, or if you like both sexes or just yours, you represent this country or what's left of it. IT DOESN'T FREAKING MATTER! YOU STILL HAVE A VOICE IN OUR COUNTRY! I don't care if you are a convicted convict, you still have a voice, but that doen't mean go out and get married to your same-sex companion. I don't even care if you **** in the streets, but don't represent this country as a same-sex and nothing else country.

Dude! MINTY Explosion!

...like a gum ad.

That could kill you instantly. And if there was a spark, the dust in the room could ignite and cause a dangerous explosion. There's NOTHING COOL about that.

Man...ACTUAL SCRIPTURE. It's really rather refreshing...it's like breathing in a room full of extremely minty dust...

hey swimem511 made this board. Come back swimem, come back! Swim back to youthnoise!

I am not totally against Gay adoption, but I feel a family with Both a mother(female) and father(male) should be considered over gay couples.

A child, whenever possible, should have every advantage he, or she can. And Studies have clearly shown that a child needs a constant strong male, and female influence, especially from their parents.

Jesus told us in first Corinthians six nine

---

Jesusfreak, please get a brain before you decide to speak on behalf of God.

Jesus never said anything in First Corinthians, six nine. This was Paul (who never heard Jesus' teachings first hand), the author of the letter to the Corinthians.
Jesus himself never once spoke about homosexuality.

The general message of Jesus was not, "Get angry at your brother when he is wrong!" but "You are not more right than the one you see as worse in your eyes, so always be kind to your brother, and let God deal out judgment."

Jesus rebuked:
The Rich, the well fed, the one's who laugh, and the one's who receive praise from all men (Luke 6:24-26)

"[Jesus said:]Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher."
Luke 6:39,40

"[Jesus said:] Why do you call me, "Lord, Lord," and do not do what I say?...
But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete".
Luke 6:46&49

"It is better to be thought a fool in science, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"
-Japanese Proverb

"but you can't disprove a word of it."
And you can't prove a word of it...the Bible is not proof. It is circular reasoning, and it's getting old fast.

"Well i think it would be unfair to the kids cause what if they get teased about it."
Right, cause it's so much more fair to have them live on the streets, in a group home, or moving about from foster family to foster family.

yawn all ya want but it won't change a thing

Homosexuality is wrong. God created man and woman equal but different for a reason, and homosexuality mocks God by defiling His creation man. You may call Jesus a cliche but He still loves you anyway and He would have suffered and died just for you if no one else existed.
