I also agree with gay marriage, and I think 53% of something like that of the US agree with it too.

God invented marriage?

For one minute can we please take the government, Bible, and God's name out of it. As I see it, the people who oppose gay marriage try to hide behind their beliefs and among them are these things (government, Bible, and God). Honestly, I think that those people who hide behind their beliefs and can't and think of a better way to use their brain instead of trying to use the same repetitive argument over and over again need to shut up about it because they are just plain scare that they will get hit on by a gay person. Who's to say that they are their type? I am all for gay marriage.

I agree, as hard it is for me to admit it.

IF we left it to our biological needs, we wouldn't even date, we would just have sex. But then again... there's always someone you have a connection with.

But still, there are so many children in adoption, they can serve as children for unfertile couples.

God invented marriage. Now I know that you probably wont belive in God but I do not care a majority the Americans belive in God.
bascially what the Lord had in mind was a system for which man and woman could be together instead of leading isolated lives within the human race, and also that we can be fruitful and multiply.

Marriage is made for indivual, but not just the indivual. It is also a means to facilitate the expansion of the human race in such a way that the youth and new generations come out physically mentally normal, and to see that the child's needs are met.

By expanding marriage in such a way that it caters to everyone who wants to be together, the government is isloating marriage from the purpose of faciltiaing the exapansion of the human race. The effects will in no way be good. Just look at Scandinavia.

i think being apart of homosexual activity is disgusting.

*gasp* ding ding ding!!. "yes taboo" "i'll take going off topic for 200" *shakes head* it's so funny how a lot of people who are against gay marriage always have to say, it's disgusting. wow a great example of why its wrong. you deserve an applause. *claps*

Traditions do change over time but i think the marriage tradition should stay as it is.

Then you think divorce shouldn't be allowed, and black people shouldn't be allowed to marry white people?

I am not really sure what to believe, but personally, i think being apart of homosexual activity is disgusting. I'm sorry but thats just how i feel. Traditions do change over time but i think the marriage tradition should stay as it is.

"all men are created equal."

remember that quote? it was said quite a while ago, when gay marriage wasn't an issue, but it still stands today as one of the greatest speeches of all time.

we're not supposed to be discriminatory. we're supposed to be a nation that gives everyone equal rights, including people that are homosexual.

remember the klu klux klan? i'm guessing most of you learned about it in school. nowadays, most of us look upon those people that were part of the KKK with disgust. in 100 years from now, will people be looking at us with faces of disgust because we opposed gay marriage?

for all of you that are aganist gay marriage because of religious reasons, remember: church and state are supposed to be seperate. i'm not saying anything bad about being religious; i'm perfectly fine with it, one of my best friend's father is a minister. but still, there has to be a line between the two.

Through evolution the only way we can continue our species is when two people of the opposite sex are together.

Exactly. If The Man decides to stop discriminating, and allow gay marriage, then everyone will want to be gay, because it's a choice, you see, so then there will be no more heterosexual marriages, and the human race will die out.

Only 10% of people are gay, bisexual, or anything other than straight. That means that 90% of the population of the world is straight. So I don't think the human race is in danger of dying out, asshat.

The consitutional was written when there wasn't any gay marriages happening- that means that our founders were implying marriage between a man and a women. Not in a mismatched combination.

The constitution was written when there wasn't radio, television, or the internet - that means that our founders were implying freedom of press only applies to newspapers. Not in a mismatched combination of media.

Yay for faulty logic!

Why did you even bring that up? I just gave the constitution a quick lookover, and marriage doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere in there.

My teacher is gay so yes, I know they're almost like normal people. But their sexual preferences are disgusting. Man and man, or woman and woman were not meant for eachother. Through evolution the only way we can continue our species is when two people of the opposite sex are together.

I like gays... I have friends who are gays...But i am against gay marriage. I mean, marriage is supposed to be with one man and one woman not the same sex. No matter if the other feels and thinks like a girl or vice versa, they are still made to be man and woman. For me, its ok if there are gays or lesbians in this world. They should be respected too but they should know thats its totally out of bounds for them to have a gay marriage. That, for me is preposterous... Its just like mocking the church and the whole sacrament of marriage. People should protest more on this.

People mock your church because it's a joke, and if marriage is soooooo sacred still, how come affairs, divorces, etc happen?

what about civil unions from the state? which has nothing to do with the church.

I love how you hide behind "oh i have *aggot friends, so I'm ok with *aggots" Does that all of a sudden make you a better person? just because you have gay friends? Pleaee you're still the close minded bleeding vagina you were when you first came to this board.

Do you never think that perhaps there is a correlation between today's discrimination against homosexuals and the historical discrimination of African-Americans. Do you think in the future, people will be as astounded by the mindset of "conservatives" (those opposed to gay marriage) as we are by the prejudices of our past? Not all change is good. But convictions which are based on repression and fear should (and inevitably will) not be upheld.

WOW. I just got back and since I posted...just a few hours ago...wow. Uhm I only had time to skim and get the general idea so if I am wrong on any point just say so and I will correct myself. First off I posted a long quoted section with biblical verses and all in the Bisexuality and homophobia post in the Health, Sexuality and Substance Abuse area. But the long and the short of it was basically just because God doesn't like homosexuality doesn't mean he is going to turn his back on you. God loves you for who you are even if he doesn't agree with what you are. And it also says that the only way to the Lord is through his son Jesus Christ. And I am sure if you are Christian you know (if you don't then sorry) John 3:16-17. For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For he did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but to save it. Christianity might not support homosexuality but it doesn't say persecute the homosexuals either. BTW Karma is an Eastern idea not a Christian one although the idea of what goes around comes around is a bit more Western =). There is another good point. Tickledpink I believe you said people who judge are so stupid or something along those lines. That in and of itself is a judegmental statement so perhaps watch the oxymorons in the future. And like I said the Bible doesn't go totally against homosexuality. It just says it isn't good. And MKT you said it best thank you I thought I was going to jump out of my seat. Homosexuals are at no greater risk than heterosexuals of getting HIV/AIDS or any other STD by the way. And yes you do have freedom of speech tickledpink dearie (love that word btw toxicfox) but so do we. And as it is a public forum (which is based entirely around discussing points of view) we get to express our too and if we want to gang up on you chances are we will. No we cannot make little people but that doesn't mean we don't love eachother. Men can be good mothers. I have known men more motherly than the most motherly woman I have ever met. Just because we can't breast feed doesn't mean we can't be good moms (and what about two moms LoL). LoL toxic with the hypothermia. I am out of time so I will stop there. Oh wait one last comment someone said something about God's point of view being for Republicans and Republicans always using it. Well I have to say that is because God's point of view is traditional. Democrats challenge tradition which is why I like them and am them as it were. =)

Ciao!

You're too close minded to see the side of anything. I can see why you're scared homosexuals, because you think we're "different". Well guess what? We're all different. Let me tell you Sunshine, just because I am bi that doesnt mean I bite!
I didnt come here expecting to change your opinions. No one does. But I still love you anywase, tickledpink. *tackle kiss* We arent that scary. >;D -cackles-
