see this is one of the comments i want clarification on. Sacred to who, and what makes marriage sacred? is it a religion/moral thing?
and why should your relgious and moral beliefs be placed upon someone else?

for me I don't care what gay people do with their lives, I'm just stating my opinion of marriage. I'm not that religious, so if they wanna getmarried, be my guest.

Sacred because the bible says so? I'm sorry but not everyone is Christian. Not everyone believes in the same God.

Please don't take offense to what i am about to say because i'm not directing my response at you--but rather towards the statement as it is...

I've heard a lot of people use this marriage is sacred argument and honestly--it's complete horse-crap. Really...like really...you honestly believemarriage is sacred IN AMERICA.

The rate of divorce in this country > the rate of marriage in this country. Thousands of individuals annually go to a place called "SIN city",where there are drive through chapels, for a 5 minute marriage ceremony conducted by a guy wearing an Elvis costume--and you really think "marriage issacred"...

I'm a christian and I consider the divorce rate and las vegas drive through chapels a far greater sin than allowing gay/lesbian to get married. Let thembe...

Marriage is sacred

...not in America it aint.

I don't understand how sacred something married is when it's so easily forsaken, as shown in US divorce rate data.

i find it that many people are just too encumbered with emotion to logically evaluate situations.

i am all for gay rights and everything, and as forsaken as marriage is today, we have to respect that marriage is a religious institution and most religionsare against homosexuality.

where we have to make a change is with the government; separate church from state and grant the same rights to homosexual civil unions as they do withheterosexual marriages.

 

[kneesh]

Peoples moral &nd religious beliefs shouldn't be forced upon other people plain &nd simple .

People want to dictate others lives based on what THEY believe which isn't ethically right .

It's stupid , &nd gays should be able to marrry . Plain &nd simple . Let them do what they feel .

Honestly, I believe you have the right to choose your own lifestyle whether it be straight or homosexual, but for it to be legally recognized is absolute BS and if you disagree

and

x100 to you.

so you think, in times when hostility is like this, that someone would actually CHOOSE to be gay and go through all the discrimination andridicule? Kinda like an anti-hypebeast "because everyone is straight"? You HONESTLY think that?

I'm not opposed, but I don't agree with it either and since I'm not gonna make anybody change their lifestyle they can go get married for all Icare.

i always parallel gay marriage to interracial marriage in the 50s/60s

"Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with hisarrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix."

How do you figure? I only know a few legit gay people but what the hell does their sexual preference have to do with their legal rights? Your argument is dumb +@+ hell imo. So gay people should be allowed to be gay but shouldn't be acknowledged legally?

No, if you actually read what I said I believe that you ultimately choose your own lifestyle. I never said anything about legal rights, where did you get thatfrom?

Every human in this country is entitled to their own rights. If you choose to be a homosexual that's perfectly fine it's your own life, but for it tobe legally recognized in a court is absolutely wrong from a moral standpoint. You might think I'm ignorant or homophobic, but I stand behind my opinion andI believe that same sex marriage should never be legal.

 

[frostythepoptart]

it doesn't. i dont necessarily oppose but i dont support either.

i just find it an oddity in society and if we're just accepting all things we may find odd, it should include incestive marriage.

inb4 my sig.

I feel like the people that are against gay marriage are against gay people period.

And they say history repeats...

The thing is, it's not always behind closed doors, I don't want my kids seeing PDA from them. Where I'm from is a place that isextremely against gays, but I'm not one to hate on someone for their lifestyle unless it directly effected me. I don't agree with it but I'm not gonna go out of my way to hate because of it, do you, ya know?

[sunny559]

Why do you oppose gay marriage?
why are you for gay marriage?
why did john lennon leave the Beatles?
why did jadakiss is as hard is it gets?
why they sellin people cd's for under a dime?
why do rappers lie in 85% of their rhymes?

we'll prolly never get a straight answer to any of these questions.....
