are you for or against gay marraige?

and why do you feel that way?

personally i am all for it. if two people love each other, it should be their choice whether or not to get married. their gender should not matter!!

and they sould be allowed the same rights as heterosexual couples such as the right to show pda. (public displays of affection)

Update:

i mean, if hindu people can marry animals than why cant guys marry guys?

    i'm against it i'm against all marriage, gay or promptly. I evaluate it an old enterprise that particularly is out of date in cutting-edge society. And as for gay marriage, my fairly unconventional view is: ok, so which you prefer to get married. Why? Why do you prefer to conform with what promptly people do, or get to do? I mean, are not 'we' meant to be distinctive from 'them'? popularity is effective, tolerance is effective, ending the violence is effective. exhibiting people who being gay is effective is effective. Mainstreaming being gay, however, isn't the respond. I mean, there is merely not something shiny or diverse approximately being gay in any respect! that's going to finally end up as only one vast homogenized way of existence. Whoop-dee-f**kin individuals'-doo. i'm pondering bobbing up with some thank you to strengthen the tax/criminal advantages that married promptly couples rejoice with to gays, yet enable's do it in a manner that would not only parrot the practices of the hordes of promptly people available. Love is love. no remember if gay or promptly, i don't think of you opt for a bite of paper from an out of date non secular-based social enterprise as an occasion that.

  • I'm for it.

    Marriage is not about "God"....it may be to you, but that's not the case for everyone. There is marriage in church and legal marriage. The second one is the one that's the concern. I could give a **** less what your "God" believes.

    Marriage does not exist to pro-create. There are heterosexual couples that cannot or chose not to have children. There are also plenty of people who have children OUTSIDE of marriage.

    Let's come out of the dark ages.

    I'm all for it! I even wrote an essay bout it yesterday. here i'll put it here, its fairly short, please read it

    Nobody chooses who they fall in love with, it just happens. You meet this wonderful person and next thing you know, you're head over heels! So why can we "normal", straight people get married probably without love, divorce, marry again, divorce again and keep on going with the cycle, when gay people don't even get one marriage when they probably really are truly in love? People say they choose to be gay, but think about it, we don't wake up one day and say "hmmm, I'm gonna fall in love with a girl/boy today" it just happens. I think gay people should be able to get married because it's not the same to just be together living with somebody then it is to know you're bonded with your love for life in legal marriage. Think about the gay people who dream of a wedding, but might never be able to marry. Think about the gay people who might even force themselves to love the opposite sex so they have a mate, or just to be accepted in this world. Why can't we be fair and treat everybody the same? Aren't we all equal?

    Im for gay marriage. At the end of the day they arent hurting anyone. And what goes on behind closed doors is nobodies business but their own. Yes they should have the same rights as heterosexual couples. Who said homosexuality was wrong...erm God. But there is no actually concrete proof that he exists...except in a "story" book called the bible. (See Zeitgeist on stage6 - opened my eyes) Theres lots of things human beings do that is forbidden by "God" , lets see hmmm murder, have affairs, worship false idols but it doesnt stop us. Live and let live I say. If you dont like what you see then dont look..!

    I'm for it.

    Just like man & woman marry.

    They love each other & so do the gay people, so they should get married.

  • 1 decade ago

    I am for it

    Why not, if they love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together that's cool. I also think they should be allowed to have the other on their insurance, I have noticed that reading my husbands policy that only a spouse of the opposite sex can be on it.

    For. There is nothing more wrong about being homosexual than being heterosexual.. Heterosexuality is just more common.

  • 1 decade ago

    i agree with you. people are people and they should get the same rights as us...gay people would probably stay together longer and be a better role model to society anyway, since all the straight people get divoreced...one of my professors last week told me one in every 2 marriages end in a divorce...isnt that insane!...well anywho i totally agree, let them be and stop putting them down...there in love...and would it be horrible if u belived in marriage and u wernt allowed to gte married? thats just wrong

    marriage is a sacred oath taken before GOD and i dont think there is no religion that has vows for the same sex? purpose to get married is to have children expand the family etc..

    as far as being gay i have nothing wrongwith that at all my uncle is gay (was) past away my friends are gay and a few of my aunts. i just dont understand how marriage with the same sex and GOD go hand and hand.

    my son saw 2 men making out omg he nearly died so i talked to him about thefacts not my opinion which is just so your happy but i cant change the rules that GOD has made.

    i think most girl have experimented when they were young its nature. im not judgemental im just thinking about all the religions ive studied and i never heard about gay marriage vows? just because alot of people are doing it now. the gay marrigae, doesnt make it right. homosexuality is fine its just when marriage is taken place, its contradictive thats all

    this is what keeps yahoo answers alive is answers like mine! xxx see the reaction. interesting
