For or against Gay Marriage

[WildSimba]

The fact that 5 people here voted for being against it kind of sickens me. I thought this forum had way more open people than that. Didn't think there'd be bigots on here.

A message to ALL of you: Please do not indoctrinate our children. We need them for the future of reason and the future of this planet. thank you.

and yes WS it sickens me too that there are some intolerant zealots among us. I just can't have any respect for people like that.

We all know Marriage isn't about the love anymore anyways. It's about the financial support that comes with it. You have to think, how would you feel if you were gay and you were in love with someone, and society said you couldn't get married due to what some book said? Stephanie Meyer might as well write a book about how much she hates homosexuals, because knowing how easily led our nation is, half of our world would take what she says as a fact.

At least here in Europe we have laws and an educational system that teaches respect. We should respect people, nomatter what religion, race, country or sexuality. Everyone is equal. There is no normal and valid argument against gay marriage, there just isn't one.

The problems are respect, tolerance and equality
it is not something people lack, it is something people choose to lack.
Being gay is not a choice, hating and discriminating gay people is a choice.
And if you choose not to respect, do not expect other people to respect you either.

Hey.. you asked, people are only answering. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And just to clear things up, I am the one who voted for 'Other'

Not in all cases. As you've probably read, myself and my boyfriend have just got back to work after a five month gap in employment. We could have got twice as many benefits for being a married couple, but did we get married? No. Because we are an old school couple and wanted to do it for love when we eventually do marry.

So you've kinda contradicted yourself a bit there XD I get told off for expressing my opinion on a few gay people I dislike and instantly people think I am against gay marriage and I dislike ALL gay people... And now you're generalizing people getting married for money and not love... I am a clear example thats not true lol..

I'm for Gay marriage! I don't see any harm in it.. love is love and you can't help the way we feel about someone. And aren't we supposed to treat everyone equally? Well, I don't see why gay people are any different..

6 deluded bigoted zealots and counting....

To please. I still do not understand the why many people cannot accept that a man has taste for another man, or a woman for a woman, much less the fact that kill for this reason. They are completely normal people except that they contain different tastes like all of us, no one was born with the same tastes already are sexual, political, musical, artistic, among others.

STRAIGT PRIDE!, GUYS

LOL, no, well, I don't even see what's the big deal getting married is so.. I don't know, it's like people only get married because of the tradition and think there's where the love is or anything, pfft, love is not in a document that says you're married to this person, marriage is just unecessary, if you love someone, you'll show it through your actions, your way to be towards that person.. But still, a civil marriage is what those are asking for, they're not asking you to let them go to the church and get married there, so what's the big deal about what bible says and all that stupid drama?, still, I don't see why two persons who shares a sentiment of love couldn't get united according to their beliefs, but well, not a lot can be done with those who aren't willing to open their minds.

I say yes, cause it is a right, but it's something unecessary according to my point of view, both straight or gay.

Ask for opinions -> State there's only one right opinion and call anyone who believes differently "deluded", "bigoted zealots", "sickening", etc, scaring them away from actually posting their views. Now there's a way to debate!

At least ShadowFax understands.
