Title: gay marriages
Post by: hope glimmers on February 04, 2005, 09:27:17 AM
ok i just want to start out saying that im a girl and staight lol

but i think that gay marriages should be legal, i think that bush trying to make them illegal and all is against the constiution.  America is all about choices.  and just because someone chooses to be gay, they shouldnt be outcast in society.  who is bush to say that being gay is wrong, thats his religion.

not everyone has the same religion as him, its as if hes forcing his religion on everyone

maybe hes homophobic, but that shouldnt affect the freedom of gay americans

It's not affecting the freedom of gay Americas.  If a straight person wants to get married, they have to do it with someone of the opposite sex and if a gay person wants to get married they have to do it with someone of the opposite sex.  You see, they are being treated equally.

No, because the animal can't really consent to it, with gay marriage you have two consenting adults.

I would be better to say "what's next? a brother that wants to marry his sister?"  There you have the same thing, two consenting adults, who's to say that's sick?  That's just as sick as two men marrying in some people's minds.

The traditional definition of marriage between one man and one woman has existed for thousands of years. Now in my opinion gays should be given civil unions which gives them the same visitation rights, tax benefits, and so forth.

why can't a man marry and man, cause that's gay marriage, and that's illegal.

I don't see why brother and sister shouldn't be able to marry if a man can marry another man.  There might be a good argument to separate the two different cases, if so, let's hear it.

And so, why should both be illegal? Do you feel hurt if two men who are deeply in love with each other, get the same civilian rights a heterosexual couple gets?

Man, I could care less. If I was in love with my sister, why wouldn't you let me marry her. If I was in love with my male neighbor, why wouldn't you let me marry him? Why shouldn't I be allowed to?

Is it against nature to follow your true feelings?

You won't get any more gays in the future if they're allowed marriage, you'll just have more people feeling like they're getting recognition and acceptation. More people who feel like they can be who they want to be. Personal freedom, freedom of mind. Relief. Now what's your problem if these people get to enjoy life more? Accept them for who they are. You saying "if you allow gay marriage, there will be more gays in the future", what's that about? Are you saying they're sick? Psycho's? In fact, ANYTHING negative?

Come on man, open your mind. This isn't the 19th century, where people are told what to do and what to think. Let them be who they want to be, let them do whatever they want to do. To all the religious people... You're saying gay marriage shouldn't be allowed for church? Then why did God create a thing such as homosexuality? Why didn't He just restrict people to just loving people of the other sex by nature? He created them so that some of them got feelings for people of their own sex. Maybe God just wants you to open your eyes to others feelings.

Come to think of that, and now relate it to the whole thing of gay marriage. Yup, it's true, maybe I shouldn't be watching anti-religious movies (but I just happen to love this one!) and maybe I shouldn't be relating to it in this case, but think of it. Why would God be against gay marriage? And why would you?

Damn, I just realised... This is one hell of a controversial post, but it's the way I think.

Just think about this. What if the whole world was suddenly gay. What do you think will happen. We would all extinct. I know its a little extreme, but its just an example. Men and women are made for eachother. A man and a women can create life. A man and a man arent made for eachother. Its unnatural. It just isnt right.

I used to think the same thing as you, but there are so many children that don't have any parents at all. For those kids we should only be happy some gay couples want to adopt children.

That will never happen and if it did, it would only be human nature. Being gay is not something you choose to be. You either are gay or you're not. Or you're bisexual of course.

no, its a mental glitch that causes men to think they love men, its not natural to stick your penis in an anal cavity, even if its into a female... in gods eyes under the catholic church, sex is only acceptable to reproduce, contraception is also forbidden...

bottom line, can a gay man be psychologially treated to love women again ?

usually the men that are gay are the ones that grew up without a father, their gay because they search for a father figure and confuse that for love for another man...

when you meet a woman and fall in love with her chances are she is similar to your mum.

Men and women are made for eachother. A man and a women can create life. A man and a man arent made for eachother. Its unnatural. It just isnt right.

A man and a woman can create life. Most of them can. But how about those born sterile? They'll never be able to raise any kids of their own. Does that mean they're against nature, just because they can't multiply? Are we all on earth just to keep the human race going, or are we allowed living for ourselves too? If I decide not to raise any kids, am I living against God's will (even though I'm an atheïst)? There's enough people on earth who are not having kids. Think of what would happen if we all had kids. This is the 21st century - we got good health care. Imagine if we all had 12 kids, what would happen to the world population? I think you guys are using the wrong arguments against gay marriage.

About a gay couple raising adopted an adopted child... It might not be the perfect environment for a child to grow up in, I'll agree with you on that. Naturally, they'll need a mother and a father. Then again... The gay couples who are adopting children are well being tested to see if they're capable of raising a child. They don't randomly 'give away' children to anyone who wants to raise some. Now how about mentally disturbed people who are being allowed to have children? I think that's a lot worse since they're not capable of properly raising the children. Let the gay couples raise adopted children if they want to. Be glad someone's willing to raise them, there's enough orphans already. If they're capable of raising them properly, let them. I can't see them harming the children's ways of thinking. Usually, gay people are a lot more open to the situations of others. That's just what the U.S.A. needs.

Now I wonder, what's the general argument against gay marriage here? People shouldn't be allowed loving people of their own gender? Do you think they would stop their true feelings if they're no longer allowed to get out of the closet? Or is it just that you don't think they should be allowed as married for the church?

I think my point is clear. Let gay people do what they want as long as they're not harming any others by it. If that includes getting married in front of the church like heterosexual couples... Why discriminate?

How are they discriminated against?  Each homosexual individual has the same rights as a heterosexual individual.

I picture this situation like it's a club.  To join you have to follow certain rules and guidelines.  These people don't want to follow them yet still join.  It's bullshit. 
It doesn't affect me either way but I just don't like them making a big issue outta this.

It's true, it's not following the rules as they are. But why not change the rules? Why shouldn't gay marriages be allowed? If heterosexual people get the chance to marry those they fell in love with, I don't see why homosexuals shouldn't be allowed to. Traditions are there to be broken. Why do you care about not allowing them to get married?
