| We have been brought up in a society where | | | | pills for, it's natural. Not everyone is the same, this is |
| homosexuality is not acknowledged. To be in love | | | | evident in skin colors and physical appearances I think |
| with someone of the same sex is a sin and now to | | | | same sex marriages should be allowed - they are |
| want the rights to live united under the bonds of | | | | human beings after all and deserve just as much |
| matrimony is even a huger sin. But my thoughts are | | | | respect as anyone else - basic human rights!We must |
| if a same sex couple want to unite for the rest of | | | | accept that people are who they are, and we |
| their lives let them. It's none of our business.Maybe | | | | shouldn't exclude them from anything - including the |
| allowing people the right to marry someone of the | | | | right to live happily married together. The way I look |
| same sex is upsetting to you but how would you | | | | at it is this: A person's sexual orientation is his or her |
| feel if our culture believed in say arranged marriage | | | | personal lifestyle. No one has to agree with it but him |
| and you were forced to marry someone you didn't | | | | or her. You aren't forced to accept or condone it, |
| love. Now think about it. Is it really fair for us to | | | | but you have to live with it.Who cares if another |
| force the gay community to be with someone they | | | | man or woman chooses to live that certain lifestyle? |
| do not want to be with. Should they not have the | | | | It doesn't affect me and frankly, it's none of my |
| same rights as heterosexuals, to spend the rest of | | | | gosh-darned business. They don't sticking their nose |
| their lives united under the bonds of | | | | in my bedroom , I'm not about to go snooping in |
| matrimony.Question your child says mom and dad , | | | | theirs. Why do so many people feel the need to stick |
| I'm love with someone of the same sex. Do you | | | | their noses where they obviously don't belong? I |
| accept them or turn them away ? What happen to | | | | seem to remember something from the Bible that |
| loving your child unconditionally and accepting them as | | | | said, "Judge not, lest ye be judged." Homophobia, like |
| they are. I know the Bible says it's a sin, but it also | | | | racism, is ignorance. We hate and fear what we don't |
| says that the only unforgivable sin is not accepting | | | | understand. I am not gay, but I couldn't care less if |
| Jesus. If a gay person accepts Jesus ,but does not | | | | someone else is. I say hell let them get marriedWhich |
| change his lifestyle, can he go to heaven?John 10:28 I | | | | brings us to another point: God. Actually it's not so |
| give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no | | | | much God as it is all God's followers who use the |
| one can snatch them out of My hand." there is only | | | | Bible as an excuse to condemn homosexuality. God is |
| one sin that is unforgivable. That is the sin of not | | | | a loving God. Why do some people feel that they |
| believing and not receiving Jesus Christ into your life. | | | | must do the hating for Him? While is it he preaches |
| God is the only one who truly knows our hearts. | | | | love and forgiveness and some of his followers |
| Some have reason that a child in a same sex | | | | preach gay bashing and intimidation. Bigots!Marriage is |
| marriage might be teased .But that same reasoning | | | | a basic human , the state should not interfere with |
| you would be outlawing inter-racial marriage because | | | | same-gender couples who choose to marry and |
| the child might be teased or let's outlaw people with | | | | share fully an equally in the rights, responsibilities, and |
| disabilities from getting married. After all the child | | | | commitment of civil marriage." The people who get |
| might get teased. How far do we take it? When to | | | | me are the ones who slam gays as sinners but have |
| stop teaching our children hatred and bigotry?People | | | | engaged in rampant pre-marital sex, something the |
| said the same thing when we allowed blacks the | | | | bible also clearly frowns upon. According to the bible |
| same rights as whites, or when we allowed women | | | | any sexual relationship outside of a committed |
| the right to vote, or when we allowed blacks and | | | | marriage relationship between one man and one |
| whites to marry each other. People went off about | | | | woman demeans the institution of marriage and is a |
| society. I don't believe that religion actually has a | | | | sin. That would include adultery.What about Divorce |
| whole lot to do with it. I believe that it is ignorance | | | | Many Roman Catholics have reached different beliefs |
| and fear (mostly).But in the interest of fair play with | | | | about when, if ever, the Bible permits divorce and |
| the people who do not believe that homosexuals | | | | remarriage. According to the Bible, 43% of the same |
| should be granted the right, that is your right to think | | | | people who condemn a gay man for his |
| that. I don't agree with it. however I do respect it. | | | | homosexuality choose to live in a life of adultery, a |
| However what is it with thinking that a homosexual | | | | sin that's equal to homosexuality in God's eyes. We |
| relationship is all about sex. If sex without the | | | | are not ruled by the bible last I looked. There is a |
| possibility of creating life is wrong, then you better | | | | difference between legal and moral. Many things in |
| start warning people about masturbation.Like | | | | Todays society are immoral however they are still |
| everyone on this earth gays have the right to be | | | | legal. Therefore who is the Government to decide |
| happy. I' am sickened by the sheer volumes of | | | | what is legal based on their opinion that they feel it is |
| people on this earth that seem to believe it's their | | | | immoral.I sure as hell don't support the state's |
| duty to correct the gay community on their lifestyle. | | | | tendency to attempt to legislate morality based on a |
| Gay people are still human, and homophobes need to | | | | typically narrow world or religious view. That's not |
| find a healthy hobby, instead of bashing things they | | | | what freedom is about. I know gays and lesbians |
| are threatened by or don't understand. These people | | | | that have been good and faithful parents. On the |
| don't wake up one day and say "I'm going to be gay | | | | other hand I have seen straight families that mentally |
| just for fun, let's go!", it's a natural part of their | | | | abused if not physically abused their children. I believe |
| existence, and to be hated for something they have | | | | people should have all of the legal rights possible and |
| no control over is as ignorant, old-world, and pathetic | | | | if that means we call it a marriage then so be it.If |
| as being racist to others with different color | | | | two committed partners want to legally formalize |
| skin.Marriage is really about forming a permanent | | | | their relationship, why should the Government |
| bond with someone that you love deeply and want | | | | prevent them from joining, even if no church will |
| to spend the rest of your life with, as well as create | | | | marry them. After all, we allow atheists to get |
| your own family with. Being homosexual It's not an | | | | married and they certainly don't go in for the whole |
| anomaly or some freakish disease that they can take | | | | religious ceremony. |
