Many people have a problem with gay people wanting to get married n have the same the rights as everyone else. why is it so bad for someone to love somone n want to be with them?? Understand why, is what people don't do. why do we have to be killed because of who we are? Why do we have to be pushed away n not understanded??? well now lets be heard!
Belief:
I want to know how MY marriage to someone would have anything to do with anyone but me n my partner. so why can't we have the same rights as everyone else?? why can't people understand that it is not a chose to be gay! We are who we are n we need to be hear!! I seem to not understand why people in the world are always trying to stop other people from being happy! this only means they aren't happy in their own lifes. But don't stop me from living my life happy n with my family!
Hey everyone, my name is Ashley and I'm new to the site. Currently I am working on a school project on a social injustice that matters to me. After some research and seeing how many forums such as this one are out there and how many people are so negative towards homosexuality and gay marriages, I thought it important for me to get in on the subject and voice my opinion. I am a straight female and I personally think that it is no ones business who someone marries. Love it love when you get down to it and I believe it is very unfair to keep those who are the same sex couples but are still in love from having the same rights as the rest of us. I am also Christian, admittedly have not read the bible in a while, and while the Bible doesn't exactly condone homosexual couples if I remember correctly it does say you should forgive people and that in the end it is not our place to judge. The only one with that ultimate power is God himself. All those "Christians" gay bashing and talking so bad about others maybe you should think about how Christian you actually are, because it’s not your place to judge or to be mean to anyone else.
I always say that people fear what they don't know. I personally feel live and let live!
I personally dont have a problem with gay people getting married they are not hurting anyone. You should be allowed to get married to whoever you want.
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO MARRY THE PERSON THAT MAKES YOUR HEART STOP WHEN THEY ENTER THE ROOM EVEN IF THEY ARE OF THE SAME GENDER. ITS NO ONES ELSE'S BUISNESS WHO SHOULD MARRY WHO ITS UP TO THOSE TWO PEOPLE. AND ITS STILL LOVE SO WHATS SO WRONG ABOUT IT?!?!?!?
Gay marriage is wrong. Both in nature and in religion.
Nature:how are we supposed to reproduce with same sex couples.
Religion: Read the Bible
i totally agree with you. the thing is that those who want to be that way should respect that this country was brought up on Christian morals. getting married is a privilege not a right. if is it nobody's business then stop trying to make everybody's business.
I am a gay woman and I don't care if you call it marriage,civil union, or hokey pokey just give me equal rights.
GAY MARRIAGE ARE IN DISCUSSION. TO IT'S A PRIVATE MATTER AND CHOICE OF LIFE THAT DOES NOT NEED LEGALITY.
BUT, THERE ARE MANY RIGHTS THAT ARE BEING DENIED NOT ONLY GAYS,BUT ALSO TO STRAIGHTS WHO LIVE TOGETHER WITH OUT A LICENSE. HEALTH IS A MAJOR RIGHT THE DON'T HAVE. IF YOUR LIVE-IN PARTNER IS IN THE HOSPITAL, HE/HER IS OUT OF LUCK. ONE OF THE LEGAL RIGHTS THEY ARE DENIED. WHY?
HEY PEOPLE GUESS WHAT NO ONE SHOULD CARE IF YOUR GAY IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT TO BAD FOR THEM!! I'M NOT GAY BUT I STILL THINK IT'S OK FOR SOMEONE TO BE GAY. I MEAN WHY SHOULD IT BUG PEOPLE? IF THEY REALLY DON'T LIKE SOMEONE BEING GAY WHO CARES THEY'RE JUST TOO JUDGMENTAL IF YOU ASK ME! AND HEY ALL YOU GAY PEOPLE OUT THERE COME OUT!!! BE WHO YOU REALLY ARE!!!! YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO!!! NO ONE WILL CARE, WELL THEY SHOULDN'T BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A RIGHT TO!!! I SAY GO GAY PRIDE!!! (woo-who) :D
My mom is a proud lesbian and has been with her life partner for 17 years! Who are we to tell her she doesn't have the same rights as anyone else? I thought this was a country that provided freedom of choice...I guess not. My mom deserves to be happy and marry the one she loves who is like my second mom. You can't help who you love and if she's happy....just let her be.
yes, she should be happy!! go your mom!!!!
My best friend I went to school with is gay,that doesn't change how I feel about her,she's a very smart women ,and her and her partner have every right as anyone else to be married ,I agree with taylor,my husband and I don't judge, and why should you ,when people start letting go of fear,and start learning fact,I'm sure life will be alot better.
I, personally, am straight. I fully support gay marrige. I am a firm believer in that what you do is your own business and if you're not hurting anyone then why should ANYONE have a problem with it. In the Constitution it says that all men(people)are created equal...so why on earth should anyone or any group of people be singled out because they are differnt...the beauty is in the flaw...differences should be celebrated, not discriminated against...by the way I am also completely against all forms of -isms (racism, sexism, and so on...)
One last thing...people whose only oppisitions to gay marrige is religion-related...I don't see what the problem is. If you don't believe that something is right, then don't do it. No one is going to try and force you to get married to any one else...there is absolutely NO REASON to be opposed to gay marrige...AT ALL! ! ! !Also the constitution promises the right of the pursuit of happiness, since when is love not considered part of happiness?
Isn't it ironic, and hypocritical, that the very people who are critical of gays, for supposedly being promiscuous, are now trying to prevent them from committing to one another? There seems to be no way to satisfy those bigots. Gay marriage should not be forced upon religious groups, but the government should grant civil marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples. They pay taxes, fight in the military, and are entitled to the same human rights as all the rest of us.
To the people who dont believe in gay rights!! Why do you care if they're not sleeping in your bed?? Its not really your business. Let them have their peace. There are so many other things that you should be protesting but you choose to stick on taking happiness why? You make me sick!!!
