I believe so. If someone doesn't think so because of their religion, then don't let them get married in your church.

No it shouldn't be legal at all. Obama made huge mistake by signing gay rights.

Without question gay marriages should be legal. The only thing that justifies not making it legal is religion, and this country was founded on the concept of separation of church and state. Hence, it settles out that there should certainly be legal gay marriages. However, I do not think anyone should try to force a specific church to perform and gay ceremony if it is against their precepts. I feel certain that there will be plenty of churches willing to perform gay services, as they should do.

@koichan , you did say that - religion justifies making gay marriage not legal.
Was that a Freudian slip?
Report as
I did not phrase that very well, did I? What I meant is that the only people arguing against gay marriages (that I've heard) are basing their objections on religion. Good catch.
guy85, if you read my comment, you will see that the reasoning for my position is stated in the comment, you did read it, right?

I think so! who are we to say someone can't be happy just because we don't agree with it? if church and state are suposto to be separate than I don't understand how this can be an issue. If people don't agree because of religion well like I said church and state are suposto be separate!

How about if you just don't think marriage should be different now than it was when our ancestors moved here. Men marry women. Nothing to do with your Bible or religious belief.
Do you think, for instance , that your great grandparents were homophobes? Maybe they were just the sensible people that a lot of people aren't today .

It may make me happy to get a drivers license but if I'm legally blind I won't be able to get one. Gay to gay marriage license doesn't meet the criteria.
Report as
my point is what does it hurt you personally if two people get married? there are a lot if things I don't like or agree with that have nothing to do with me in any way. does that mean I should say those things can't be done? Just because my great how ever many grandparents thought it was wrong why does that mean I have to. Let me ask you should we still have slaves, segregation, or no womens rights because that's how it used to be done? or does that only apply to gay people?
And they don't give drivers licenses to people who are legally blind because well I can't believe I have to point this out THEY WILL KILL PEOPLE!!!! comparing the two doesn't even make since!
Report as
You are correct about the blind driver thing. I was grappling a bit there. But on the same token dragging in the slavery issue is grappling a bit too. I was making the comparison to both requiring licenses for good reason. As I have stated my feelings on the general topic of gay people before ,it is only the marriage I am against. Well I could do without the activism too. There are a lot of things that don't hurt you or I but I'm sure neither of us would sanction them either. We once had a lesbian couple living next house to ours and we loved them as neighbors. Just realize we are not monsters about this. I feel that marriage for better or worse has an official definition and it shouldn't be changed. I know that brings us right back where we started.
Thanks for listening.

Yes. I believe in gay rights, and a good friend of mine is a bisexual who is currently dating a dude. You don't choose who you love.

@cleb I have read all of your comments on here and wow how ridiculous!!!! Iam all for everybody having there own opinion but you have to see that the stuff you have said is unreal.
you have basically said that people who are gay are animals. I thank god that I don't know you personally iam afraid being around you would make my IQ drop. what happens if you have a child who turns out to be gay? Or someone in your family is gay? will they be nothing but animals to you also?
Report as
Whoa! I may get cynical or sarcastic but you are way wrong about how I feel about gay people. I am truly sorry if you got that impression because it is inaccurate. I defy you to show me a hateful statement that I have made. It is strictly that I come down on the negative side regarding gay/lesbian marriage. If it wasn't so easy to talk about it here on ASK few would know or care about my sentiment on this. You won't see me marching with a placard against anything.

@toChristiana , negative also on the "animals comment" I think you got a little overboard yourself . Granted I think there are those that do treat people that way. Not me.

Kristian; thanks all is well . One problem with this medium ,I think is that you can make a comment and it just hangs there and can hang you without the normal face to face personal touches that allows one to cut off the rough edges. I like to use humor too but it can go way sour if I'm not careful, as we saw .

Of course. What goes on in your personal life is no business of mine since we are talking two consenting adults so they aren't hurting anybody Marriages can be performed at city hall by a JP so they are not a religious rite so religious feelings about it simply do not matter. If a church disagrees they have the same right to say no to performing a religious ceremony that they have always had.

You are asking a question that you know makes lots of people very angry. Why not find some LGBT website to stir up emotions. Most people are straight and they just don't care. I am getting so tired of this endless debate.

gay marriage is in-human, that's filthy! Nature itself says no to that. Look @ animals and birds, they don't do such nonsense as that. Before we start talking of religion, does not nature itself teach you! Guys, lets be humans.
