LOVE is not about religion or equality…. it just happens! i might still be a teenager but i do understand. when people fall in love they don’t care what shape, size, color, or even gender they are. Plus it isn’t about what older people think.. it’s my generation that we are talking about… And I Do Accept gay marriage.. actually i’m not going to call it that, that’s rude. Lets Just say i Accept Their Decision of marrying the person they LOVE ..

Many Christians don’t find anything wrong with letting two people of the same sex get married, some churches doing the honors. The others give the rest bad names.

I hate the arguements, It shouldn’t even need to BE argued over! You christians treat gay people as if they aren’t human, and don’t deserve the right to be happy. Its ridiculous! If your ‘god’ was so forgiving and righteous, he wouldn’t hate someone just because of the gender they happen to like. ‘He’ created us all equal, did he not? Then we should TREAT them equally, and not try and ‘cure’ them like they have some kind of bloody illness that has to be treated.

I just don’t get what the big deal about gay marriage is. Don’t like gay marriages? Don’t get one. Think it’s against the bible? Don’t get one. Think it’s uncomfortable or wrong? THEN DON’T BE GAY. Letting gay people get married won’t make you less of a man/woman or less straight. They are JUST PEOPLE. Being gay doesn’t mean you are any different… why do people care what they do and who they do it with. Why do you want to spend your life taking away other people’s rights…? If you hate gay marriage so much, then don’t get one. Why it bothers people so much, I have no fricking idea.

Lets just start of with, I’m a straight 17 year old girl who believes in same sex marriage very strongly.

How is it fair to say it is not right. We live in America, which is based on freedom right? Freedom should say it all. If America is truly a free country, then why is same sex marriage such a big deal. Yes, i respect people who are Christian/ any other religion that doesn’t except it because they don’t want to disobey what they believe in. People who are not, have no right to be pointing their fingers. Everyone should be able to marry who they love. Does anyone even know what love’s definition is? If you dont. It is.

*profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.

The two key words in the definition is another person. If the definition were to say passionate affection between a man and a women, it would be different. Love leads to marriage, and if someone loves someone the same sex then marriage should be an option.. but its not. Some people argue that it will have an affect on the legal system. To me, i think its all a bunch of b.s.. What I mean when I say this is that everyone who is married, gets special benefits. For example, social security benefits. Couples who are married, are somewhat considered as one. When one dies before the age of 70, the other gets their social security money that they have worked for their whole life. People who are not straight, and are together can’t have that same liability. I know people who live next door to me, who are going threw this as you read. They have been together for 14 years and don’t have the right to do as straights do. I also feel very strongly about this…

It’s not your life, its theirs.
Its not affecting you any..

So why should it matter?
Love does not equal out to anything more then what you feel.

Dear MARY R MILLER

Making since to nature? did you know that over 1500 animals in the animal kingdom practice homosexuality including some of the most popular animals including dwarf chimpanzees and even lions so put morals a side and think about what is natural or better yet YouTube it because animals in the NATURE are doing it and have been for a while so why can’t we?

To be completely honest marriage is marriage and you do need those “papers” you would need them in any other case of straight marriage and why should we allow god to dictate what we think or believe for those people who do not believe in god which many homosexuals do not then why should they have to follow by what the bible says if there is free religion is this country just because what you think is morally incorrect doesn’t match what other people think is doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be a law

here is what i think is wrong with religion the catholic church will hide and protect child molesters just to keep there name clear and why do we need multimillion dollar churches to pray in if we could pray in small old churches what is morally wrong that our country will let us head bang and listen to rap and hard metal but gays are immoral

how about this a man was just recently arrested for not paying child support on his three kids which were all from different women but homosexuals shouldn’t adopt children even though they could be given better chances and a equal fight at life is that morally correct?

and how about the fact that we will send homosexuals over seas to die for this country but we won’t let them get married or even say that they are proudly gay until now

If you are injured in battle and you can’t move and someone that is gay runs out and saves your life by dragging you out of battle and letting you go home and see your family one more time is that person a criminal is that person morally incorrect, and remember that person just laid down his/her life for u! can u answer me that?

How could you christians? I am a straight God fearing man. i see you supposed
“christians” try to judge these people for love. I have walked by faith all my life and if you people cant understand God’s forgiving,redeeming love; how can you label yourselves as followers of Christ. Only throw the stone if you are without sin.
@babybreath what makes you think their prayers wont get answered through jesus’ name we are all saved if we so choose regardless.gays don’t destroy the sanctity of marriage it’s the people who don’t love one another that do.

You know what? For those of you who say that Gay marriage is wrong…..IT’S NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUISNESS!!! You shouldn’t really care about what gay people do, it’s not your life. Does it really matter what they do for sex? No, not really. It’s their life! It’s not fair for them, I’m straight and I have the right to marry a guy, but most importantly marry with someone I love. And Gays don’t have the right marry who they love. Think about it people!!! We have the power, the right to marry and Gays don’t!! That’s just wrong! It’s very selfish to say that it’s wrong and that Gays should not get married. Very selfish. I support Gays, Lesbians, Homosexual, and Transgenders. They are human! We are all human!! We all should have the right!! Think about it!

Okay for all those people who say that they are against gays I have something to say. If you think that it is so wrong for someone to love someone of the same sex then why dont you prove a point. All of you say the same thing!!! Why dont you guys stick your….in a guys… because its just the same thing as stickin it in a girl? So next time you try to argue that point you should probably just… not do it! And for all the guys that think girl on girl action is so hot … most of those girls are probably gay or bi sexual so think about that next time you touch yourself looking at girl on girl! bye

To me i beleive everyone is entitled to there own opinions, however when they try to take action based off those opinions which limit the rights of certain people, is when i start getting a little ticked. I mean the reason why this has become such a big issue is because people just have to put there noses in where it does not belong. Let gay couples have what they want they are people just like everyone else, they cant help who they love and i think that its stupid that so many of them ar discrimiated and hated for it. I as a straight male, feel that it is none of our concern what they do, i mean what if it was your brother or sister who was in a gay relationship? What would you do then? Think about it before you go shooting your mouth off

Ok this conflict will go on forever about people rights to choose, civil rights, human rights constitutional rights; its all the same. From the bible point of view God created man and woman and gave us the right to choose (free will) and in essence he also set out the standards for us to serve him and to live by or reap the consequences he has decided upon if we choose not to obey his laws. If the gays choose to disobey his commandment. They will reap the same reward as Sodom and Gommorah (THIS IS WHAT THEY CHOOSE). Yes Jeasus commanded all of us to love as we have loved him but we are not loving him if we are not obeying his commnandments (WE ARE USING ARE FREE WILL) That’s what gays and lesbian are doing so with that being said ( let them be doomed and the bible commands. And the Government is upholding the law only by Gods permission until His appointed time. HOMESEXUALITY IS LUST IN THE FLESH AND THEY WILL ALWAYS CONTEND WITH IT AS LONGER AS THEY DESIRE THE INCLINATIONS OF THE HEART. GOD IS NOT LISTENING OR ACCEPTING THEIR PRAYERS UNLESS THEY REPENT

look at it this way. animals follow their instinct. and their instinct is to mate with the opposite sex. plus a man and a man cant make a child because its unatural. I think gay marrage is wrong.
