Homosexuality is a filthy, disease-ridden practice explicitly condemned by God.

Questions?

I think that it's stupid to have a law againts same-sex marriages.
Gay, lesbian, Ib's, i think that they have the right to do whatever they want. I'm mean, how would you feel if you can't merry the person u love?????
P.S. i'm straight

To me it is stupid to have a law aganist two people who are the same sex to get married it should really be there choice to get married or not, because what if there was a law against something you wanted to do. Or that they made a law against different sex marriages. It would be dumb because that is not everyones opinon about the debate. They should really just leave it alone and let them get married if they want to and not have to hid just so they wont go to jail for it.

i think that this should be the first giant step to getting USA to rewrite their laws

"""Personaly i could careless"""
___I think you mean, "Personally I couldn't care less".

Personaly i could careless, what they do that doesnt affect me is fine, the media makes everthing look like it effects us in some way now days. Some things just get blown out of propotion. How can we judge those before we judge ourselfs. This is suppose to be a free country right? so whats wrong if we let them get married, i see no problem with it. if u ask me people are afraid of ***** and lesbians because they are homosexual. we being preduge or if that dont rock your boat were sterotyping. We just cant say hey you two are men and you want to get married, nope not in this state or anyother one for that matter. What if it were the other way around, we wouldnt like now would we. there going to be homosexual anyways, why should we try to stop them.

Okay, what other limits, do you propose, there are?

Good point. However, that doesn't change the fact that there have always been limits imposed on who can or can't marry. One of which has been that only consenting people can.

Can an animal consent to marriage?

"I feel kinda weird saying this cause I'm a republican but I think everybody has the right to marry somebody."

Really? Do relatives have the right to marry? Do polygamists have the right to marry? Do people who engage in *******ity have the right to marry?

I'm not saying that Homosexuality is anywhere near as perverse as any of those other sexualities. But I am saying that not everyone should be allowed to marry.

I personaly do not understand what all the fuss is over about gay marrigaes. Why do people care so much about it? It's is none of ther bisness what other people do. They have no right to tell ohters what to do, or who they can marry. The media is making this a bigger deal than it needs to be honestly.

i think really that it doesnt matter who you get married to i mean all it is , is to show that person that you really love them and that you want to be with them forever, you cant take away te things that people feel because it is against the first amendment in freedom of speach and it isnt fair that these people that love a person of the same sex are treated diffrent ly because of the way they feel for a person, i personally think it is against the constitituonal amendment #1 which rives you freedom of speach freedom of religion, freedom of prees, petition, and assembly. It Is against constitutionklal law that you cannot take away what they feel or how they express it i think it is totaly wrong and people should change that, they feel how they feel and just because they cant express how they feel the woman has to marry a guy, and the man has to marry a girl because they cant express their love to another man or woman because of the law, it is plain wrong, i mean really wrong that these peo[ple cant show their love because of stupid people that want to ban same sex marriges, they are crazy.

sorry i spelled "two" wrong.

In my opinion, being gay or lesbian is absolutely wrong. But it would be also wrong to NOT let them get married. This is supposed to be a free country. I feel kinda weird saying this cause I'm a republican but I think everybody has the right to marry somebody. Its just like discriminating the blacks cause they didn't have the same rights as others in this country. This is supposed to be a free country. If you have a problem with gays or lesbians, then just don't be one. But seriously i really think its very wrong to be gay or lesbian but you can't stop to people from being in love.

so... this had been some pretty interesting reading. i've come to the realization that there are alot more ignorant people out there than i even realized, and believe me, i'm not trying to say that i'm the most informed person on the subject. (although, since i'm gay i would like to think i know some about it) i mean, come on... how ignorant do you have to be to think that AIDS, a disease that originated from the chimpanzee and crossed over during the field dressing process of hunting(which happens to be a very bloody process), comes from homosexuals. i think that is the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard. look it up if you want to at:
aids.org
moving on...
gay marriages, i'm totally for them, but i don't believe that the american society is completely ready to deal with them. most people today are so stuck in their traditions and ideals that they are terrified to see anything so major and important change. anything considered "out of the norm" is a major taboo and is bound to cause a little rocking of the boat that we all feel so safe in, but where would we be today if women didn't decide to stand up for their rights, or if black people were simply content to be slaves. we would be the type of oppressing society that we strive to avoid. what would be the point of our current bill of rights, or the civil rights act of 1964, or even title IX for that matter. by denying gays the right to marry we are simply discriminating against the underdog, the very people we try to protect and help in every other situation.
as for all you people who are using the excuse that homosexuality is a sin all i have to say is when you judge others you yourself are committing a sin. and seeing as how all sins are equal in the eyes of the Lord you are just as sinful as all of the homosexuals you are judging. and, if a person is a true believer in our Lord Jesus Christ then their sins will be forgiven because, as i understand it, Christ died for us on the cross and shed his blood, and when we accept him as our savior our sins are forgiven.
tell me... what proof is there that if gays are allowed to marry that the "sacred institution" will be destroyed. give me some hardcore, reliable numbers and then maybe i will consider it. but with all the proof we have now, with marriage being only a heterosexual privilege, it looks like this "institution" is already well down its path to destruction, without the help of us gays.
and finally, think about the saying " you can't help who you fall in love with." how would you feel if you fell in love with someone and society told you to ignore those feelings because it was "wrong" and "immoral." how would you feel if, simply because the person you love is the same sex as you you weren't allowed to go visit them on their death bed because you weren't a spouse or relative. or you were forced to hide your true self around friends and family. being gay isn't something that you just choose to do... it is a difficult and often terrifying lifestyle because you are constantly shamed for something you can't control. think about it (especially those people who say it is a choice), who would really want to live that way if they had the choice. always wondering where the next derrogative remark is gonna come from, or who's going to be the next person to whisper behind your back... doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun to me (and trust me, it isn't!!)
thanks for paying attention to at least one person's opinion!!

___Whoever said something had to be profitable before doing the right thing is the best course of action? It's like a teacher who gives one child a cookie at snacktime, then tells the other child that she can't have one unless it's in her own best interest. Pah'lease....

___Why should straight people be allowed to boggart a privelege that they don't even take seriously themselves? Most marrieges do not last! If a sacred bond is indeed what you're afraid of losing then sharing your law-given rights with people who admire them is not going to mean the end of the world!

It's not about love for the decision-makers.

It's about money. Legalizing homosexual marriages just makes more marriages to complicate taxes. If it could be proven that a substantial number of homosexuals that would share a household could boost the economy significantly if married, it'd be another story. Changes take time and money. Either show it's worth it to change or make enough of a nuisance for your cause that it gets carried out.

I think that its pathetic that everyone is making a big deal out of this. How is it wrong that a person can love another person, but its okay for a man to rape and kill a little girl. There are so many other things to be arguing about. If its so wrong for a girl to love a girl or a boy to love a boy, then satan has my soul. Im a 16 year old lesbian and PROUD!!! , and I dont give a f**k what you people think about it! Yeah you may say, "shes young she doesnt know what shes talking about," but ive been through my share of ****, and I know how horrible can be. It's disgusting and distastefull, to know that we have people in society who will hate and kill others because of the person they are in love with.

"""Marriage is under the religion"""
___No it isn't. If that's true then you couldn't stop people from getting married. It is written into the law, which is where our Nation's freedom of religion is being violated. Keep your churches, and dictate your own followers rights to marry, but do not steal everyone else's right to disagree with you away from them. Keep your own holy and sacred vows and let them have their's apart from your's. What's fair is fair. Your religion may be idealistic in its own mind to think that they own America, but did any one of you ever hear of a little thing called the first amendment?

In my opinion, homosexual marriages should be legal. It is not up to the government to decide whether or not two grown people can spend their lives together. Who cares if other people think that it's wrong. It's not their marriage. It is the right of homosexuals to get married and have families too. And there is nothing unnatural about it. It's not their fault that they happen to be attracted to somebody of the same sex. If somebody happens to get upset over the fact then oh well. It's not their situation to get upset over. It is really upsetting to hear people trying to use religion to condemn same-sex marriages. I for one am a religious person but I don't believe in pushing my religious beliefs onto other people. Besides, even if it were a sin, did not Jesus die for our sins. They will be forgiven in the end because nobody is perfect. I don't believe that you can condemn homosexuals and say that they are living in sin unless you have never committed one sin in your life. Besides, love isn't just something that happens for heterosexuals. If you love somebody you should be able to marry them. It's as simple as that. Any other way is just simply not fair and is a violation of civil rights.
