Why are some people against gay marriage?

Personally I'm for it, I think that no matter who you love, you should be able to marry them. What are your opinions?Why are some people against gay marriage?
because they feel uncomfortable about it. I do not have any opinion on it myself//////////Why are some people against gay marriage?
I am against it for religous reasons, though I do have to say that America is being hypocritical when they break separation of church and state to give government benefits to married people (a religious instituion). I can see where homosexuals would be entitled to the same rights as heterosexual people, but I wish that they would just leave marriage in the church where it belongs. As far as the government goes, if they want to give rights and tax breaks, make everyone (gay or straight) get a civil union-don't attach those benefits at all to marriage.
Most people are against it because it's against their religion. For whatever reason, they are only able to accept their interpretation of God and no one else's. These people remind me of anyone who uses God to condemn others. As for The Bible, it doesn't mention gay marriage or two women having sex. It denounces two men having sex, along with a man and woman having sex out of marriage. This was determined by people before churches and weddings during a time when women were stoned if they had sex and weren't married. I believe these early interpreters of God tried to establish the best sexual ideals they could at that time for society. I thank God much of that has changed today and will, God willing, continue to change as we grow and learn. Have a good week!
to keisha and addy and anyone else ';cause of their religion';.





it is also a sin to lust after someone, to be lazy(sloth), to be jealous(haters), to steal(most rich people or in the entertainment industry), and to kill(wars, abortions, death penalty)





so if you really wanna complain about sin then you'll also have to tackle rap, porn, fast food restaurants, and virtually the whole entertainment industry. if you feel that your religion is that important to you to where you have to deny people their right to marry(even though it is none of your business to begin with unless they're f****ing on your front lawn) then I would hope to see you protesting against those industries I mentioned. don't just pick and choose what uses less of your time and what benefits you. be consistent
This issue isn't necessarily a religious issue. I feel the corner stone in any society is the family unit, religion aside. Since humans walked the earth families have consisted of a father figure and a mother figure.


Biologically the mother provides the child with nurishment as well as emotional development. The father provides structure and the necessities of life. Through history homosexual behavior has existed within society but as a form of recreation, typically emerging at the height of an empire before the eventual collapse.


I'm not claiming that one sexual behavior is more superior than the other. I am trying to think logically here. Never before has a society tried to promote the homosexual lifestyle as being equal in importance within a society to that of the traditional marriage between a man and a woman.


If we amend biological laws to assume two men or two women are equal to the traditional father and mother role within society, I think we could encounter some serious instabilities with our future generations.


I was a part of the gay lifestyle for a period in my life, so I do have life-experience to leave my two cents. From those experiences I felt the gay lifestyle is based mostly on the sexual activity and night-life atmosphere. A majority of those conversations where typically the gossip of who slept with who lately. Sex was virtually 90% of all conversations I had within the gay community. Honestly I talked about sex in the gay life more than I did during more four year service in the army.


I'm just suggesting that we stop looking at the gay marriage issue at face value. If you throw a blanket term over the details then sure gay mmarriage sounds great. But I implore you to look into the details of exactly what this new definition will mean and the impact it will have on future generations of children with empty minds to fill.


As I said before; the cornerstone of any society is the core family unit. By redefining this critical peice of society what are the possible consequences? Is there a way to at least retain the definition of Marriage to between a man and a woman and perhaps allow Gays to form a legally binding union that offers equal rights? I just don't think we should teach our children that a barrel full of mixed apples and oranges is all apples. Perhaps we could organize the apples into one basket and organize the oranges into another similar basket, this way we can say one is full of apples and the other is full of oranges, and they're both fruit.
The Bible states that gay marriage (or just having sex with the same gender) is a sin. I believe the Bible, and obviously you can tell which side of this argument I'm on.
Well, I am all for it to. But some people like Sarah Palin said they didn't want to change the definition of marrige, the legal love of a man and a women. Foolish right?
Maybe not so much against the ';marriage'; part of it - just against the gay part.
i think its gross, and two guys making out makes me VERY uncomfortable.





But it aint my buisness what you do with your life.
because theyre not used to it
