Yes. It should be legal and accepted around the whole world. Let me explain why I believe this:

1. Why not? They fell in love with each other and dated just like any other couple.

2. I don't believe it's against my religious beliefs. Jesus said 'love thy neighbour as thyself' and He said in Matthew that "eunuchs" were born the way they are. People use Leviticus as an arguement against gay marriage, but obviously don't follow the other laws in it. These laws are old laws we had to follow before we were saved. Couples like David and Jonathan were mentioned in the bible also, showing that God knew being gay would be controversial. He wants Christians to know it's okay to be gay.

3. All species can be gay or transgendered. Animals can't do the wrong thing.

4. Watch human behaviour. Which side is the most negativity coming from? The side that on the far side allows gays to be married, or the other far side that believes they should be executed?

Yes. I think it shouldn t have been illegal in the first place.



Most of the people answering are probably 50 year old rednecks in America, and no offense America is full of stupid people.



What is wrong with gay marriage? Its the same thing as straight marriage, you re still marrying a person. Has a homosexual ever tried to stop you from your right of marriage?

I m all for opinions and beliefs but religious views is just an excuse to be a narrow minded asshole. So a book written by some guy can tell you what you can and can t do? Thats ridiculous, you make up your own mind and YOU decide if you agree with it or not, god has nothing to do with LOVE.

If they are happy then mind your own business, I don t see how its even a debate other people s sexuality doesn t effect you nor does it effect marriage. So what if its not traditional? Get NEW traditions stop being scared.



Rule 1.) Don t argue with Americans they are the most small minded (unts.



Rule 2.) Let people be happy.



Rule 3.) Mind your own fu(k1ng business and we ll all be happy.



Imagine if straight marriage was a sin, wouldn t feel too good would it?

Marriage is HUMAN RIGHTS not a straight person s privilege.



Leviticus also said "no haircuts"but I guess we re skipping that one. IF you re going to use religion as a excuse follow all the rules in the damn book. Homophobes are liars and the reason I think this world should burn.

No, I don't. Regulated marriage in a country that prides itself on the separation of church and state does not make sense; not to mention what the term "wed" actually means (it literally refers to how much a family would sell their daughter off to the grooms' family).



This issue is beyond stupid, because the majority of the country is either stupid, doesn't care about anything other than their own agenda, or are just in general uneducated. The only reason why this issue has any merit in the first place is because marriage GRANTS EXTRA RIGHTS; and we're actually losing first amendment protections because of those rights.



With all the stupid people in this country, the ability speak one's mind without fear of persecution made living here tolerable - I plan on moving somewhere else soon; And, i think that a lot of people probably feel the same way. I'd rather not live in a country were the majority of the population doesn't understand the difference between a right and a liberty; it's a shame that more people do not feel like that.

Yes, it should be legal in all states. What 90% of the population doesn't get is that there is a difference between legal marriage and a wedding ceremony. The legal marriage is when the marriage certificate is signed and filed, and that is just a legal procedure, it has NOTHING to do with religion, at all. That is so the couple can enjoy the same legal rights and privileges as every other legally married couple. The WEDDING is the religious ceremony (or not if you have a justice of the peace) and I believe religious institutions and individuals should have the right to refuse to perform the ceremony if it goes against their beliefs.

What about cousin marriage? You think that should be allowed too?



I think gay marriage should be legal, and so should cousin marriage. But then again, we live in a time when marrying with same sex is seen okay & many people support it, while marrying cousins (opposite sex) is viewed as something that should never happen. Why do some people find one thing okay while the other gross?



Bottom line, we live in the United States of America where we are free to live life as we please. If you believe in your very heart that same sex marriage is something that you like, then I think that by all means go for it. There shouldn't be anyone stopping you to do something that isn't going to hurt anyone. In the end, if there is a god, then you will be held accountable for your actions. And if there is no god, then everything will just pass as soon as you die. Live life to the fullest & enjoy it.

Gay people as a whole community are not evil or bad people, so why can't they have the rights heterosexuals have?

Those apposed to same sex marriage feel that way because of their religious beliefs. Religion and the State are supposed to be separate..RIGHT? So it has actually has been illegal to keep gay couples from getting married because some holy roller politicians shouts out, "God made Adam and Eve , not Adam and Steve."

There are many laws in this country that are forced on us by prejudice, religious beliefs which actually violate the separation of church and state.

A convicted, heterosexual murderer in prison can legally get married and there is no debate about that, but a law abiding gay couple wants to get married and people freak out. So basically, there are people who think a murderer has more right to get married than a gay man. Let me say this more clearly. A man can rape and kill someone's daughter and while he sits in prison for the rest of his life, people believe that he has the right to get married to some stupid girl just because they are heterosexual, but if a gay couple, who has never harmed anyone, wants to get married, then people think that should be illegal. People in this world scare me with the stupid religion that corrupts their common sense.

Do we reward mental illness, abnormalities, and or perversions in the United States ? There was a time everyone would have said NO and made sure it wasn t, However in today s if it feels good society, mental illness, abnormal and perversion is promoted and rewarded and in fact paraded and mandated as a normal, perfectly acceptable and A-O.K.

Fact is mental illness needs to be dealt with and those with it need Professional help...not handed marriage licenses and appeasement and especially does not to be paraded and promoted as a Normal.



Homosexuality is a state of mind and a perversion of ones identity and is a abnormality and a perversion of both Body and mind. The anatomy alone, proves the homosexual desire is Abnormal and it is within the mind. That mental illness instead of being treated is promoted and that perversion than goes from a mental condition to a physical acting out it s mental ideology.

For centuries it was defined a mental illness..and because of money and lobbyist groups the APA caved in and then began saying it was not a mental illness......Money is all it takes to get anyone in DC to jump on a bandwagon....the homosexual marriage idea was just that...another cave to satisfy a minority group because Big Money changed hands from Large corporate types to satisfy an idea....the ACLU, etc etc.....type people who throw big money at Politicians to get their way....



As far as marriage goes 2 of the same sex can NEVER have a union...and the flood of marriage licenses will soon become a tidal wave of Divorces and the courts overwhelmed with the legal mumbo jumbo that will result from it.

Well, the so called Christians read the Bible MARC NO where does it say what you said and YES your WRONG ..IT SAYS .“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”

—Genesis 1:27 (NKJV) I will not call gays names and I would appreciate the ''so called Christian not be called name either

“ I still will be your friend ,I love ya .I will have your back but I do not go along with marrying someone who has the same body parts as the other. It is unethical .Makes no sense and what do you want so much attention for? Give you a inch and your took a foot and a half .Your happy now so leave it alone . Kim Davis has every right to her opinion and so do I. Its a free country but the maker will have the final say in this matter. OH I would love to be a fly on that wall .You see where the mud slide in Utah was? Right thru Polygamy-ville so don't you think Jesus is watching how bad we are destroying his world? He is not done with the red light distract either and global warning should be a hint. He has no other way to show you but in weather and angles are closer than you know .Believe that O:-)

No it shouldn't... and no religion has nothing to do with it. Being Gay isn't natural everything made on earth is supposed to be fruitful and multiply and two of the same sex can't reproduce. If everyone is gay then how will new generations be made? And no I'm not against it because my friend is gay and she even said that it isn't natural and people shouldn't be making it legal. My aunt and uncle work for people up in powerful scales of society and they said that the only reason they made it legal is to teach the children that wrong things are okay so they are confused. I'm 19 not and old peeson expressing their opinions. Now they take gay to another level I saw someone say they didn't like LGBT to their friend and a bunch of gay people and people who stood up for them yelled at the girl and said other stuff but you can't force your own opinions on people not everyone are always going to agree. Okay☺

the response of the Genius....



here the mistake of the 2 opposite position:



CONS guys: no one ever explained why gay marriage is a problem or in which way it would create problem.



PRO guys: they are so sure of themselves that they don't even undertand the difference between a theoretical right choise and an appropriate choise.



Example: assume that gay marriage is right thigs ok?



so every gay couple should be free to get merried right?



SO in USA as well as in arabia saudiata (where until Yesterday being gay is a crime) we should allow gay marriage right?

clearly NO!!



first omosexuality should not be see as a crime

second omosexual perso should be respected

third phase omosexual couple should have a contract marriage-type

fourth phase (eventually) they can marryed.



i think that gay couple should have a contrct like marriae (called PACS) so in a different way has someon has theorized, just because they are difrent things by a etero-couple, and they can not, for me, buying baby.



why? because that is my sensitivness.

the moral principle and sensitivnmess change in the time, so maybe in the right time we should even allow gay marriage and let they adopt child (i disagree). but not now.

looking to the social education of the country, to the culture and so on we should find the right compromise.

so in the islamic country we should fight to make omosexuality accepted as not a crime and in the more evolved country to give rights tot he gay couple with a similar-marriage contract.

The US wouldn't really be living up to the "free country" part if it wasn't legal. And some states had it and some didn't at one point. We have a right to pursuit of happiness as long as it isn't hurting anyone else, which, from what I can see physically, gay marriage hurts absolutely no one. People who are gay are just exercising their rights just like the next person in my opinion. It's not right biblically, but I guess that goes along with the separation of church and state? Maybe? Just winging it here lol

I'm pro gay marriage but I'm against the Supreme Court decision. I'm a strong proponent of the constitution and the issue of marriage is never mentioned in the constitution at all meaning by the tenth amendment it is a state issue meaning it is up to the states to decide for themselves. The Supreme Court decision forced states to comply with their decision regardless of how they felt about the issue. Gay marriage should have been made legal individually in each state and I would've voted for it if it was on the ballot. But if 9 unelected judges on a court can redefine what marriage means for 320 million without being challenged then what else can they do?

Absolutely not. I dont think it should be legalized anywhere

My father and I just shared our thoughts on this topic. Firstly, man and man cannot procreate. A woman and a woman can't either. Secondly, its bot Christian at all. Yes, God says he loves all his children, but these people are ignoring his commands and rubbing their dirty little marriages in his face, defiling all he's said and done. "Man shall not lay with another man."

And think about this: If a GAY man was sneaking around, stealing from my car, and I caught him robbing me, if I were to smack him one good, I'd be charged for a hate crime because he's gay, even if I didn't know he was. And instead of him paying time, I would be the one to spend time in jail.

This is kind of like what Bruce Jenner did. Before he had a sex change no one really know or care for him. When hr did, he was loved. And they forgot about all the crimes he committed, including the one where he killed a whole family in a car accident, but wasn't charged

Every human being is God's wonderful creation. Isn't it amazing that each parts of the body plays a very important role in the system. Could you imagine how the brain could work without the nerves that connect it to the other body parts; How the heart could pump without the veins; How the food that we eat goes through digestion and all those stuff. Isn't it perfect? All of our body parts are connected with each other. And it is not customized that way. It is made that way. Whether you like it or not. So as our role in the environment, Imagine the food web. The superiority of mankind over the other creations. The relationship of every creation with each other. So what's the point? Well, each man and woman are created for each other. Even the way on how they reproduce is amazing. It's like a perfect fit.



I am not against gay. I have a lot of friends who are gay. I love them so much. They are bubbly, smart-mouthed and even more beautiful than I am. But allowing same sex marriage. Is like destroying something unknown.

Making gay marriage legal in all 50 states doesn't conflict with separation of church and state. If gay marriage is legal, but your religion does not permit it, then you are NOT compelled by law to marry someone of your own gender...you can follow your religious beliefs.



In fact, prohibiting gay people from marrying is more of a thing where the state is imposing religious beliefs on it's citizens.



What a warped sense of reality you have.

Yes, it should be legal in the entire USA. Loving v. Virginia, the court case that make interracial marriage legal, established marriage as a right. There is no reason to bar same-sex couples from this right. There is no good, sound argument at all against gay marriage.

We can immediately throw away the "it's against my religion" non-argument.

Atheists can marry. Nobody has to declare any religious affiliation in order to marry.

We can also throw away the "gay relationships don't create babies" argument.

There is no requirement that a couple have to create a child together in order to marry.

the family picture has been tarnished since they made this atrocity a law.

I have nothing against gays. In fact I have very close friends of mine that are gays. I love them for what they are. Period. We do not talk this theme at all among us. But to make legal a marriage among two people of the same sex seems to me a bizarre thing. What is the new picture of a family portrait. Two Mothers and children, Two father and children. Come on, the family traditional aspect is gone. What are those children if they adopt any, going to live when they grow up, how is society accept them in school, friends, media. They are going to be attacked by the people that will not recognize that they have no fault, their lives are going to be miserable, they are going to have no future in this society. Do not try to hide the fact that society not always understands those things and will not give the benefit of the innocence in their cases. I do not agree with gays marriage at all..... Sorry

Well if its legal in one state, they might as well make i legal in all states. I say that because if there is one state that has legalized gay marriage, then everyone in the country that wants to get married will go there. Even if no state legalized it, gay couples would still find a way too, like going out of the country.

Of course. What civilised country would deny the right to get married? The only arguments people have against same-sex marriage are based on archaic tradition and religion and frankly, here in the 21st century we should not be creating laws based on medieval superstition.

Homosexuality is a natural phenomena which occurs in many of the species which live on our planet and we're no exception.

What it really comes down to though is this: If you don't agree with gay marriage, don't marry someone of the same sex.



Marriage would not be 'redefined', straight couples would be free to wed as much as straight and even if it was 'redefined', ask yourself objectively what marriage really is. A legal union of two people and their assets. Is redefining marriage even a bad thing?

2015-09-18 23:12:32 UTC
I do not believe it should be legal in the entire US. I feel it should be up to the states, as it was before. Just because a few judges say it is right, does not make it right, it is still sin. Also, people say not allowing it everywhere is forcing religion down the throats of the ones that want gay marriage. How is forcing everyone to accept it as "okay" and "natural" "not sin" not doing the same thing? Time to wake up and leave each other alone. If you don't like something, stay away from it. Don't want religion forced on you? Don't shove hatred of religion down the throats of the religious. Simple respect.

I do feel that the states should get the right to decide their own rules. It’s in the constitution that a state regulates its own marriage divorce and education laws. Also in the constitution is that the judicial branch (Supreme Court) doesn’t get to make laws, they decide on the big cases who is guilty and who is not. So I think that the law shouldn’t be forced onto the other states. I do hope you understand that some religions forbid same sex marriage, and those people are forced to move to a country where they don’t allow it, or they might just have to shun people who are gay or anything along those lines. It’s hard enough being called a terrorist, but imagine having to shun a friend who comes out as bisexual or gay.. Just imagine the pain.. I’ve felt it and I hate it.. But I have to follow the rules of my religion

Well one person's happiness is another person's misery.



So the answer is no. Not because I hate it. But Gays are not the only people that exist in America. So they need to get their own land if they want gay marriage to be legal everywhere. Instead of trying to change America that MANY different people live in. With different race backgrounds and ideologies. If the gay people got everything they wanted, and everyone else is just forced to accept it. Then technically America wouldn't be a free country anymore... It would be more of a dictatorship. Because no one wants to be forced or controlled over anything...





Some state rules can be different depending on the people living their. So if their is not that many gays or people that agree, then that state would be in favor to the majority. Its only more fair and equal that way. If you have a high number of gay people in one state. Then it should catered to what the gays want. But if you have a state that has a higher number of straight people. Then it should catered to what they want.



When white people went to Africa and made blacks into slaves. What did they do? They beat their culture out of them, The Slave Masters gave them new names and last names, didn't let them read. The only thing they could read was the bible. In conclusion the blacks were FORCED to accept the white people's culture and beliefs in America! (at that time) This Straight vs Gay BS is the same way imo.



I can only see it ending in a few scenarios. A) Gays win and straight people leave America or accept it. B) Straights win and Gay people leave or accept it. C) Gay and Straight people both go to war and millions of people die over peoples opinions... So how do you think its going to end?



You can't make any agreement or peace between gays and straight people. Because they both want different things, and have different perspectives of life. The side that's going to win will be the one that has more people, and is running the country in the first place. It won't matter how many facts straight people bring out, if their are more people supporting gay marriage then people who don't. And most likely there's more people that don't agree with it. Since their are more people straight then their are gay. So it's obvious straight people would win if we voted! But that doesn't mean anything either. Because the one who counts the votes decides everything. The people that run the country like Obama or the Government will make the rules. The people that run America will always make new laws when they don't like something.



So if you want to fight to get laws/rules changed... Pick a better President and Government that's in favor to you! Because if you don't, you're better off just leaving America. Go to another place. This goes for Gay and Straight people. I hoped this answered your question. :)

No, Marriage has always been between 1 man and 1 woman and should stay that way, however, homosexual people who want to be joined together should have some legal way to have ALL the rights as anyone else, which I think they do anyway in the US. Just call their union something else, not marriage. Yes that shows them to be different, but really they are a little different. So what! they are still entitled to all the rights of all people. They can create some new tradition of THEIR union without changing the tradition of OUR union and we can all still love and respect each other as humans.......God created and loves us all.

Gay marriage goes against the concept of one man for one woman joined together in HOLY matrimony and if the weird ones who are non christian and have no belief in God and no respect for family life the government should stay out of it or make a special provision for Satans people. Instead of calling it a marriage it should be called the joining of a couple in Satanic worship and the word marriage and Holy and God should not be in the ceremony. No adoption of children should be allowed as that is an injustice to the children involved. If Saton's people can reproduce with each other then they should be able to call them a family. The gay marriage act is merely just that, an act. It has nothing to do with love, everything to do with perversion and a strong desire for the couples to receive attention and be different. It is unclean, unhealthy, filthy. and perverted. It is a way to bring the sexually ill to the forefront and try to make them look normal. No one who is normal, should be forced to join in the perverted games the gays play and there should be no law to force anyone to provide services to these fruit cakes unless they so desire. A violation of the norm to fulfill the desires of the perverted is a violation of the rights of the normal people and a forcing them to follow in Satans footsteps. Remember when Sodomy was in violation of the law and now the gays want it to be the norm. Two males or two females were not intended to be mates, they can not reproduce, and even animals have enough intellengence to know that.

No, Throughout history, marriage was been between a man and a women and there is no good reason to change that. Also homosexual marriage is on the wrong side of nature. Homosexual relations are unnatural. This is confirmed by biology, physiology and religion. Frank Turek says, "Support of natural marriage is not bigotry; it's biology." Reproduction requires a man and a woman. Homosexuality is against the Bible. The Bible specifically condemns homosexuality behavior seven times I know most of you are atheists but based on my belief and my opinion this is wrong. Two fathers (or two mothers) is not the best way for kids to be raised. Children need both a father and a mother. There is a difference between men and woman. Children need both the nest-making comfort of a mother and the sports-loving, battle-fighting strength of a father. When one side of the equation is missing, children can turn out broken. When parents divorce, children pay a price and also being raised they pay much higher

Look, I don't like the idea of gay marriage, I don't like the idea of same sex couples. I think people who say they are gay, are somehow confused.



Having said that, I have even stronger beliefs in everyone's right to live a happy and contented life regardless of what I think about their sexuality, or behaviour.

I don't think my personal beliefs should get in the way of some strangers happiness if it doesn't affect me in any way. I might go Eww if I see two men passionately kissing in public, but I can avert my eyes, and for me it's then all over.

I really don't give a rats a$$ if a same sex couple gets married. It has no bearing on how I live my life or happiness, and anyone who lets things like that affect them is truly a sad person.



So I don't care if it's illegal.

There's enough real crap going on in this world that we could better spend our time finding a solution for. We don't need to waste our time worrying about same sex couples trying to be just like couples of the opposite sex.



BTW, you Americans go on and on about what a great country you live in, and how everyone has the freedom to be whomever, and whatever they want. But those rights and freedoms are totally conditional. A person has rights as long as he/she is just like you. No one has the right to be different. As soon as you are confronted with a difference you want to take out your guns and shoot it.



Before you make any new laws that further crush individual freedoms, take a hard look at what you are doing, and make a better effort to embrace EVERYONE no matter where they come from, and what they believe in.



I offered the above final comments because you put the USA into your question as if it made a difference.

It should be legal and I'm glad that it is. Gay marriage doesn't hurt anybody and generally if something is illegal it's because it causes someone or something harm and gay marriage doesn't harm anyone or anything. Straight married people have destroyed the idea of marriage long time ago so they can't blame that on anyone gay. Live and let live. Treat everyone the way you want to be treated and if you are sane we should all be treated wonderfully.

Personally, I think gay marriage should be legal because the story is basically the same, even for heterosexual couples. You meet, you fall in love, and you wanna bring the love to the next level. Being gay doesn't make you any different from people like you & me. Being gay just means that you are attracted to someone from the same gender. It doesn't mean that there is something wrong in your mind. Even as a Christian and married man, the whole time idea doesn't bother me, my wife, or my friends at all. My wife has this cousin who's a homosexual and everybody treats him like any random person and I think that everybody should treat them the same way. It's okay to laugh at jokes about homosexuality, sometimes I tell some to her cousin and he tells me some (his is much better than mine...), as long as you don't go ranting about how homosexual its is an abomination to humanity. You know what's one of the sitcoms that my cousin in law likes? "Three's Company", and you know what that's about? A guy trying to act gay in front of the landlord to stay with two girls. Sometimes in life, it's not what the joke's about but it's how you put and take the joke. My point is, it's just happens that someone likes someone from the same gender and if someone's gonna rant about how gay marriage is an abomination, that's there problem. So I don't really care about gay marriage since it won't affect my life because I'm already married to a woman but I care about how people are going to rant about illegalizing gay marriage because those people won't let normal homosexual people live the peaceful life they deserved from the times in the closet. And I'm not American or British so please excuse my bad english...

It's very difficult to express what I feel when someone asks this question, so as not to go on a mad rant for several hours I'll simply say that I absolutely think gay marriage should be legal everywhere in the US. and every other country in the world.

Really, I have no idea why it should be illegal in the first place. People made opinions and the opinions made it to a higher point. Why would that happen on opinions? There's other opinions, some people actually have good opinions towards it. It annoys me that someone would focus less on the good ones completely and take into the bad ones.



This is just my opinion too. But yes, I feel it should be legal in all of USA.

No, the supreme Court doesn't have the right to decide the definition of an institution that has been defined as between man and woman since the ancient times. And marriage has mainly been something unique to the christian church for over a millennium. By what right do 9 people have to even go and try to change something that hasent been touched for over two thousand years. If it was really up for debate the feds should let the people decide by a popular vote for a civil union. And leave marriage uniquely for man and woman.

as a gay man - I don't see the point of gay marraige being legalized. Most gay men want anything BUT marriage. Why should it be legal anyway? The only people who will benefit from it are the white gay supermodels who just so happen to be gay and live a perfect life.

2015-09-20 05:43:51 UTC
of course it should. Why not? What's so bad about gay people that they shouldn't be allowed to marry? America is based upon freedom, who are you to decide then whom is allowed that freedom and whom is not? Would you be asking the same question if a mixed race couple were asking to get married? The same could be said for disabled people. What is so wrong with it that they should be denied the right to get married? Personally i find it ridiculous that it's even a topic of conversation. It's the 21st century, gay marriage is legal. Get over it.

No I don't. Alot of people these days seem to be so supportive of gay marriage yet 10 or 20 years ago no one had a problem with keeping it illegal. A marriage should be between a man and a woman to have a relationship and procreate.

It should be legal everywhere, love is love. I couldn't give a **** about religion; i'm going to be honest. Religon has rules you must abide by; so does that restrict love?

As long as you don't marry your children or your cat; its fine.

If its legal; its bringing peace to the world. Plus the fact that homophobic people can't understand love the same way others people could. I guess others hate gay marriage saying its untraditional or wrong. But maybe you're wrong....?

Its opinions I guess; But I think it should be legal. Seriously; if it weren't legal I bet tons of people would fight for it to be illegal.

I say it should not be formalised as marriage. I'm fine with civil unions, legal arrangements which give partners the same protections found in marriage. I feel that marriage has been devalued over the past 40 years as people seem to now regard it as something disposable like a safety razor.

Gay marriage should be illegal in states if they make it illegal. It's up to state, not the Supreme Court. The US Supreme Court cannot override the State's attempt to restrict marriage between a man and a woman. Yes, they did rule that gays and lesbians have the right to marry in any of 50 states, ONLY if there are no law within any state they intend to marry. That does NOT means Clerks are forced to issue marriage license to gays and lesbians. I was so embarrassed and mortified that the woman of Kentucky was jailed for refusing to issue a marriage license to gays and lesbians. That ain't fair at all!

Yes, absolutely it should be if that is what the participators want. I am not gay but I believe in our founding fathers inalienable "civil" rights that were originally designed as civil FREEDOM. If it is "against religion" it is not for the government to decide the legality anyway. It is for the participants to decide if it is against their beliefs or not, and decide if they want to marry anyway and take that risk eternally. Marriage is always a risk anyway no matter how much in love you are. If you can marry someone who beats and abuses you, or is cheating against his spouse with you, why on earth would anyone believe that gay marriage is someone else's decision? Just another civil right dictated by government and others who believe they need to be involved in something that is none of their business in the first place.

Yes, I do feel it should be legal in the USA particularly, of all places. We are not a Christian monarchy like Denmark or England which might have had some argument about the concepts of either Christianity as an official state religion or of monarchy justifying a paternalistic and overbearing approach to government, but rather we are predicated and established on the principle of the individual citizen possessing free choice. To be free to select one's own religion and to structure one's lifestyle in a non-traditional way should therefore be a particularly American concept. There are so many people who wish to abuse the mechanism of our government in order to impose their own conception of morality or lifestyle onto their fellow citizens;whereas, that is exactly the type of abuse of power that amounts to tyrrany. Marriage is more about being recognised and acknowledged in the community as a couple, forming the nucleus of a household and a family, and about joint property rights under the law, of which Gay couples cerrtainly do all of these things in fact. It is recognising the reality of the situation, for millions of them do. Now, to point out the logic of the situation, I have some royal blood and have always hoped,about a hundred years after such things have stopped, that I would one day be elected king of a small country. Things like that actually did happen about a century ago in Albania, for instance, and the recent changes in the Balkans, freeing up places such as Kosovo, have made me re-visit the idea. Now, if I were crowned king of a small nation, and annointed by say, the Catholic Church, then I might have an argument that I needed to uphold Catholic conceptions of morality within what was an institution established to do just that. I might then forbid Gay marriage in the interests of compelling everyone to follow a state religion. However, the USA was not established in order to compell everyone to bow to the authority of the Catholic Church or even Christianity, for that matter. and the USA was not established to make everyone bow down before one man: Me. Therefore I think that you need to consider what the USA is and what Freedom means, and I do not see how that could possibly boil down to grabbing the reins of government in order to boss around your neighbour.

I used to think No, BUT ive changed, i realize that its not a choice. okay maybe some kids in high schol are in you face about it or act out for attention. But the gay rights movement is the same as the civil rights movement, and if you think they shouldnt get married then are on the losing side. The people out protesting against Gay marriage will wind up in a textbook picture or something like those who opposed black rights. Years from now it will be completely accepted and not controversial. Dont be one of those grandparents with really messed up backward ideals.

It already is and I believe it should be left as it is.

The idea of ultra-conservatives is fragmented, and they often equate homosexuals to animals once they begin saying that a person cannot marry an animal as if homosexuality meant bestiality. A person has no say on other's marriage. Stay out of each other's business.

In my opinion, there is no point in bringing historical examples for making analogies based on two different things because I am not stupid enough to make them.

Live and let live: that is the short answer.

No, simply because marriage is a Christian thing, and we all know how they and their god feel about homosexuality, so why on earth let gays ruin the sacredness of it? I am fully ok with homosexaulity but I don't think it's right for them or even non-Christians to go round practicing Christian practices. It doesn't seem logical to me, if you don't believe in a theory, then why carry out things that come from that theory?

Of course now it's all a legal thing and necessary for some so what the heck! Let's all ruin special traditions for the Christians! It's like parading round in Indian headdresses or bindis, nothing to do with us but we don't care about special cultural practices eh guys -_-

I couldn't care less and that's they way everyone should feel. I don't like seeing gay males kiss but oh well that's me, I'm a straight guy and it should be something I don't like seeing, the story would be different if I were bi or homosexual.

I really don't think it should be a ceremony held in a Christian church or any religion that condemns homosexualilty. Two reasons and one is obvious and the other is like saying 'f-you' to that particular religion.

Imo all religion is stupid. There is not a supreme being out there. If there was, it's evil...

No, "gay" marriage should NOT be legal. It's not marriage. It's perversion. The biggest crime, though, comes from the Supreme Court Judges. If they had not attempted to control social issues we wouldn't be having the controversy we are. That said, the U.S. already honored Civil Unions. Many "gay" couples already enjoyed them, and they were legal. But no, that wasn't enough. The "gay" community was determined to shove sodomy down the throats (no pun intended) of us all. The Supreme Court didn't need to make "gay" marriage "legal". They are a bunch of arrogant twits. They can't legislate morals... even though they've tried.

Marriage has no business in governmental affairs. If people want to get married it is their personal business and they would get married. They cannot be serious if they need validaton from a piece of paper. If the governemt is disrespecting you by hesitating to acknowledge your basic rigts as a human you should not bend over for the legal perks that zcome wih their regulated marriage.

Besides, marriage is man and woman, you all should be excited at thought of taking over freedom at unchartered territory and making up you own names and proceedings for that union. No one can stop you from doing what you want to do. Grow some balls and make a goddamn stand. Stop trying to persuade the government and be your own government but yall are to scared to do that and rather hold your pickets and what not. No ones prepared to die or do anything so yu get what you take.

Marriage before God is one thing. Civil marriage, under the authority of the state, is another. The Supreme Court cannot say who is or is not entitled to marriage conducted in accordance with God's Holy Ordinances. So no gay/lesbian couple is going to be able to force the local priest to marry them. BUT, civil ceremonies conducted by a civil servant who intones "...by the authority vested in me by the state of X, I now pronounce you..." are legal and administrative actions performed by the state for its citizens. The same can be said about the county clerk issuing the marriage license - both acts are government operations, and involve God (or concern a third party's religious convictions) about as much as registering your car.

The 14th Amendment assures us that every state must afford all persons equal protection under the law. In other words, if I can register my car, you also must be permitted to register your car (assuming you've got insurance and the fee). You can't be denied registration because the DMV lady doesn't like the cut of your jib. Since a civil ceremony is also a government operation (NOT a sacrament), if I get one, you can't be denied one just because you're "different" from me.

For those who believe God cannot be "taken out" of marriage, regardless of what kind of marriage it might be, the debate is really over whether states should conduct "civil ceremonies" or recognize "common law spouses" at all. Because if you accept that weddings can be performed by a state government, rather than a cleric in a church, then under our Constitution you have lost the ability to provide such weddings to straight couples and deny them to gay/lesbian couples.

How does it lessen "traditional" marriage? "Traditional" is in quotes because it's really not "traditional" and has changed over time. How can something be "traditional" if it's always changing?



Even in the Bible, a man was allowed to marry more than one woman. That was "traditional". Then it stopped, and you could only marry one woman. If you divorced your wife and married another, it was considered adultery. Even if you were never married and married a divorced woman, that was also adultery. "Traditional" marriage was for life.



But today, over half of all marriages end in divorce. What's "traditional" about that? You can go to Las Vegas on Friday, get married, have a honeymoon weekend, and get it annulled before you go back to work on Monday morning. How "traditional" is that?



Traditions change, including "traditional" marriage. 20 years from now, our kids will see "traditional" marriage as something that two PEOPLE (same sex or opposite sex) that are in love with each other do. And who knows - In a hundred years, marriage may be the "untraditional" thing that people do. They just live together and take care of each other, but have no piece of paper legally uniting them together.

No. I happen to be a Mormon and I'm sick of people saying that we discriminate against gays. We do not. We accept them in our church as we would anyone else. God doesn't want us to act on those urges he gave gays that challenge in their life. We believe that marriage is between a man and a woman because god is centered around the family and homos can't make a family. Yeah they can adopt but they can not physically reproduce sexually. That's just how I feel I love gays and I dont look down on them. I just disagree.

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the simple fact.....when marriage is to be done after court there`s the whole ceremony with the church and a pastor and that is a TOTAL DISRESPECT TO NOT ONLY GOD BUT CHRISTIANS. God created marriage so that a couple (Man and Woman) becomes one.



You see think bout sex. Sex is to be use properly to 1) yes show love to ur spouse but to also create a family.

if man and man or female with female were meant to be then they would of had a way to create life but they dont.



I mean gays have been around for centuries and okay live ur lifestyle but the same way they do not want people to make em seem bad... or take away certain things.....think of MARRIAGE as the one thing that you are taking away from religious people.....And i am not a christian but I do believe in god....and hopes to one day find him.....But in MARRIAGE i am sorri i dont support.

I love how people like to bring religion into the converstation. One minute someone's droning on about how we're all made in gods image, and the next they'll turn around and tell you it's a sin for a man to lay with another man. What's really wrong is persecuting someone for being who they are.



If god created us all and made us who we are, how can you possibly have a problem with gay people? Love is love, whether it's between two men, two women, or a man and a woman is beside the point, and any god who judges people on something as trivial as sexual orientation isn't a god I want to meet.



If you're going to judge some, judge based on character, not who they love.

It should be legal everywhere. Marriage is for us humans, right? Gay men and women are still as human as us. If being gay wasn't normal, it would be very rare to find someone who is gay, but there are many many people who are attracted to the same sex. Nothing is wrong about that.

According to the US Constitution this matter is up to the individual states to decide and not up to a Tyrannical Supreme Court. In any case a same sex union cannot fulfill the goal or purpose of a true legetement marriage and therefore, it is not a marriage. In order to discover the true purpose of a marriage it is necessary to use our imaginations to transport ourselves back to a point in time before the human race existed. At that time the first two humans joined in a union we know call marriage and since the result was the human race, then this result could only have been achieved by one man and one women.

I'm not even a christian but No it is an assault on the family, natural order of things, tears apart the moral foundations of our country and leads to civil unrest. More often than not gays are ****** up in the head. If they get married and adopt a baby or inseminate a woman just for the baby, that little child is going to be the victim of their disgusting lifestyle choice. You are so cruel as to subject an INNOCENT CHILD TO THAT? And despite what you say, that its genes, there is no evidence for that. None at all. Gay is a lifestyle CHOICE. And you know who suffers because of gays? Non gays. No I don't want them married, but for the sake of the innocent children that they corrupt. I know gays go batshit crazy when they are confronted with hard truth, so let the downvotes come. It only proves my point.



But you know what's even worse than that is that these small issues are blown up huge in proportion to hide the real issues of our country. Why are we focusing on what effects a vast minority when there are gigantic issues that concern 99% of all americans? Because the 1% who profit from our stupidity want our attention kept on matters that pale in comparison. It's an eclipse of what the real problems are.

The Supreme CRT gave in to win some brownie points since Americans feels that it is off base and that our congress is doing nothing; a do nothing congress.



How does it help society to have gay marriage? How to you tell a child that it is ok for two guys to kiss and get 'hot and bothered' while the child is eating his Happy Meal? it is not natural

Yes anyone who loves each other have a right to marry. I have had Christian threaten to kill me over the fact that I support same-sex marriage and also according to the 14th amendment all us citizen's have equal rights under law. People say same-sex marriage will threaten their religion but I mean according to article 6 no religion should be use as a law that is pretty much the point. Also freedom of religion indeed does mean freedom from religion. But I think the problem with religion is they don't know what being gay means. People sometimes think sexuality like straight gay bi are your sexual behaviors but they are really wrong straight means you like the opposite sex gay means you like the same sex bi means you like both male and female. Really if 2 people love each other they have the right to marry it is not hurting anyone.

I'm going to say what I believe and you can choose whether or not to like it.

I don't want to be persecuted for what I believe as people who believe in gay marriage don't want to be.

I'm not a hater.

This is simply what I believe.

I don't hate gays.

I love them.

They are wonderful people.

But my personal belief is that in order to have a proper family structure is for a man and a woman to get married.

It's the way God intended it to be.

If you are gay and want to get married... Go right ahead! :) I will still love and respect you.

I am just saying what I believe and I should not be hated on for what I believe in.

No, it shouldn't. Homosexuality was considered a deviance both by the APA (until 1973) and by the World Health Organization (until as recently as 1991). If you know the history of the LGBT movement, you know that the only reason those organizations removed homosexuality from that list was enormous political pressure; not an ounce of groundbreaking medical findings supported those decisions. Therefore, I consider this whole push for normalizing it illegitimate.

Granted, both the APA and WHO are pretty much LGBT propaganda mouthpieces nowadays but nothing can ever change the past, and the facts from the past are what I stated.

If the men and women want to keep a gay buddy in addition let them!



Apparently men and women have way too much time on their hands lets give them some responsibility instead of tax tax tax

It should be legal. Who does it hurt? Even if Christians are right and it is a sin, it is not our governments job to prevent us from sinning,hence the separation of church and state. Gay Marriage does not take rights from straight people. It does not force anyone to marry a person of the same gender. It does not even force people to stop saying it is sin. Christians can march and yell and discriminate all they want. All this does is stop the government from doing that. Individuals, and their churches, have lost no rights.



As for those people who cite the redefining of marriage. Language is a constantly evolving thing. Gay used to mean happy. Now it means homosexual. Tweet used to be the sound a bird made, now it's a message on twitter. Awful used to mean "full of awe", now it means terrible.



If you really need to be that exclusive, pick a different word to mean marriage between a man and a woman, then refuse gay couples to do that. So long as the government isn't involved, nobody would have an issue with that.

Where you being straight was "evil" and gay was what was right? Wouldn't you want that same marriage equality? It's my personal opinion, I just don't see what the big deal is with same sex love.

Yes it should. In fact i dont understand why being gay/lesbian is so bad. We're all still human. Other than that what i really dont get is why do people care about other peoples love lives?? I mean why should you care if there are two guys who are obviously dating in public? Like it isnt going to affect me or your life in anyway. Who cares if youre straight gay lebian bi asexual etc. Its YOUR love life not others to judge. And you cant help but to be attracted to who youre attracted to. Its not like gay people woke up one day and said, "Oh i think ill be gay to piss off society." They were born that way and its the same thing as a younger person liking someone ten years older than them. It just seems un-natural because people are too status quo. What if being straight was some kind of holy sin as people view gay as. What if being attracted to the opposite gender was weird and not normal? Its the same thing. And there must be something that Im not getting because many christians and ppl who believe in god are like saying gay people are sinners. Like dafuq? Im pretty sure NO WHERE IN THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GAY PEOPLE ARE SINNERS AND THEY ARE MISTAKES or something. God said that WE ARE ALL MADE EQUALLY. So either there must be something that IM not getting or YOU arent getting. Cause we obviously arent on the same page. And can i just tell you no matter how much i stress this it wont be enough: gay people arent doing anything wrong, in fact we are being the real "sinners" here. Look at how many lives we have taken just cause of this topic of being attracted to the same gender. Now ya'll go and listen to same love and born this way and think about why you think being gay is so wrong. Simple. ITS. NOT.

I know a lot of gay couples who have been together for decades and they can't get married. Yet people like Elizabeth Taylor can chop and change men when she felt like it. It was only ever illegal used because the majority of society believed it to be a sin

I don't feel that it's necessary. Each state should be able to do what it wants and not always the federal government telling it what to do.

In my religion Islam, it is prohibited because the actions of gays are horrid and unatural. Also they are incapable of producing a family, the very unit of a society which renders it more unnatural to the human race. These are all very simple and logical reasons and understanding BTW which you can come to if you contemplate, an actaully advocated action in Islam. Don't listen to meida BTW; they try to make ALL Muslims look bad even based on other peoples' bad action (ISIS).

Anyway, in the end, I believe it shouldn't be done or shouldn't be legal anywhere. I hope that helps.

Every human should be entitled to live their life comfortable with their sexuality, to all those ignorant people out there...yes, we do not chose what gender we fall in love with, chemistry works in weird ways, i think gay marriage should be legal in every country, and i think forced marriages should be illegal in all countries, but there are always going to be people that disagree with you, which makes this world a horrid place to live in at times.

In my personal opinion I think it should be legal, no matter what religion or political views a opposing person has, I don't think they should make decisions of what one group of people should or should not do as long as they aren't breaking rules or altering my life for the worst I'm okay with them getting married. After all the way a person perceives the world is based on the parents mostly, if you preach hate in front of your child, that child may also preach hate towards that group or other groups that have familiar traits. and if your child may ever fall in one of those categories then that child may just grow a hate towards you while you make their self-esteem go lower, which can cause emotional distress in the child and in the family. altering their lives for the worst. and I repeat this is all in my opinion. ☺

It should be legal. The constitution does not give government the power to control marriage and it wasn't in the state constitutions either. The intention of the constitution was to limit the power of government to keep the people free not to limit power of the people! People have always had the freedom to marry without going to the state to get permission it's called common law marriage!

yes i think it should its fair and its banning how people live so its not ok to force your opinion on them and ban them from a state. i think texas did that and that was not fair now its 49 states you can be gay in. we need to accept them we can't do anything about this problem their will be just more and more gay people in america in the next 10 years it might be like 10% by then its only 2% now. we have no other choice but to accept them its the right thing to do even if this is a christian nation and even if its wrong to them.

It is per the Supreme Court ruling, same sex marriage legal in all 50 states , US territories, and processions. So unless the Supreme Court over rules itself in a future case, same sex marriage is here to stay.

FYI: Federal case law overrules any state law.

Religion has nothing to do with a same sex marriage since this case law is a civil not religious issue.

FYI : Kim Davis is in more hot water for removing the Rowan county name and her name on the marriage license certificate in order to make any same sex couples marriage void, per the local WDRV news web-site. One of her clerks told his lawyer, who told the press.

This is official misconduct. This could give the state General Assembly a legal reason to impeach and remove her from office.

Yes. People should be able to love who they love. Can a guy imagine having sex with a lesbian? That would be awkward. I have a friend who is a lesbian, and I love her to the point where I can accept it. I have gay male friends as well. Goes against the bible, you say? What if God made them, they existed since the beginning of time. They can produce regularly in the way of getting pregnant, just one of the parent's DNA won't be present.

YES. I believe it should be legal. love is love. it's no different than a man & woman falling in love, & gay people should NOT be treated any different. we're all people, & should all have the right to to marry & to be treated equally. regardless of our sexuality. the way homosexuals are treated is so unfair & it just disgusts me. yes, it may be a sin & considered "unholy", but isn't divorce a sin? why isn't divorce illegal? why isn't that treated as a crime? if you love someone, man or woman, & want to marry , you should be able to marry them, case closed. gay marriage & gay people do not hurt anyone. I read in a post somewhere that "gays are not disgusted with straight people, so why should straight people be disgusted with gays?" people need stop acting Horrible towards eachother & they also need to get over themselves.

I believe that since many people consider marriage to be a religious institution, it should be separated from the set of legal rights recognized by the government.



If you want to get married, go see a priest, or a rabbi, or an imam to get married. If you want government recognize your rights, a civil procedure should exist to codify those rights (the same procedure regardless of sexual orientation).

Homosexuality is an abomination, for one you have to insert a penis into a hole that is intended for fecal matter, which will result in no good outcome. Second, it is physically impossible for homosexuals to produce offspring to populate the earth. Third, if everybody was gay, the world would cease to exist. So as much as homosexuals may dislike my answer, remember that it take straight people to make this planet operate and flourish.

Honestly it depends on how you look on it.

It's simply not right, but I'm also not going to agree and say it's ok. Just like I'm not going to tell an atheist they are when I believe otherwise.

Know it sounds rude, but some people, like those above, think just because they don't agree to it then it shouldn't be done. Like little kids who are spoiled. It's fair and in doing so it does no damage to a christians day to day life. So yes.

Don't really care. But I think the purpose of marriage is to have children and if they can't have children then what's the point. The argue it for equality. But that's almost like buying a car because you neighbors have cars and you want to "feel equal to them", when in reality you don't need to buy a car because you live very close to your job and can walk or bike or use public transportation to get to the workplace.

No such an act would bring a great curse upon the nation.



The practice of homosexuality is destructive to the human soul and God gave His warnings about this in the Bible. Supporting gay marriage is a sin because it means to support homosexuality.



Iniquities (sinful tendencies) pass down the generation line if they are not removed by the Blood of the Lord Jesus. Homosexuality is caused by iniquity and the Blood of Jesus cleanses the iniquities of all who accept Him as their Saviour.



After a person accepts the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, they are transformed and made a new creature in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). So the gay person would be changed and so would the alcoholic, liar, drug addict, fornicator etc. It's the power of the Blood of Christ and the Holy Spirit in the believer that brings about this transformation.



REDEMPTION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH



Because mankind is incapable of meeting God’s standard of perfection necessary to abide in God’s presence (Romans 3:19-20,23), God sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the total debt for the believer’s sins and mercifully credits to his account Christ’s righteousness (Romans 3:21-28,5:1-11; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21). Jesus’ gracious act of atonement was complete and covers all sin (Colossians 2:13-14; 1 John 1:9). Salvation is not based on good deeds but according to the mercy of God (Titus 3:4-5). Believers are justified by faith; it is a gift by God’s grace (Romans 4:3-8; Ephesians 2:8-9). A true, living faith will result in a desire to live a holy, loving life of good works (Ephesians 2:10; Galatians 5:6; James 2:14-26), but failure to be absolutely successful at righteous living does not negate the believer’s justified status.



If you sincerely say this prayer, your sins will be washed away, you will be redeemed to God, be saved from eternal torment and inherit the Kingdom of God:



"Dear Jesus,



I am a sinner.

I repent of my sins.

Please forgive me and save me by your shed blood;

come into my heart.

I want to receive you as my own personal Lord and Savior.



Amen"

I am a Christian and do believe that gay marriage is a sin. HOWEVER, I won't hate another person if they do marry another of the same gender, as long as it is for LOVE and not purely SEX. Marriage is all about love and as long as they are keeping that true, you shouldn't deprive someone of love.

look at the pros and cons...



Children with no parents waiting for adoption could finally get adopted. If we look further in the future when all children r already adopted, how about the production of the new generation? children growing up in a gay family will bring a great influence to them to become gay. and so it will increase the population of gay people, reduce the population of straight people where they will also get influenced by a great number of gay people around him, thus the population of married women will be less. In conjunction to that, the population of lesbians will increase. And the production of the next generation will be less...

The U.S. Supreme Court with five of nine of its justices being liberal unelected lawyers re-wrote the constitution in their interpretation of the United States constitution to strip all states of their right to be (conservative) and ban gay marriage in favor of traditional marriage! In a land mark ruling to radically re-interpret. (re-write) the United States constitution in future rulings to strip states of their rights to ban things they don't approve of and strongly disapprove of in a democratic process ( for any reason) That includes gay marriage, fermented beverages, marijuana, Lamborghini cars, wearing hats on backwards or anything they choose. No state has the right to infringe on OTHER PEOPLES rights, However GAY marriage was NOT a human right under law in the United States UNTIL five unelected lawyers or oligarchs in this country made it that way going against our countries democratic process. Congress can overturn their ruling but they won't.

Yes. 100%. It is love, and someone else's religious affiliation shouldn't keep a couple from marrying. It's called separation between church and state.

If you bother yourself with unnecessary thoughts, then you are the only one in pain. Let gay people be happy. We are all just a small peck of dust in this big world. Hating or disliking them is your problem, not theirs. Try to think positively and your life can change. Accept others as if you are accepting yourself. I think it's great that its legal in the US because everyone deserves the same treatment.

The purpose of marriage is, or ought to be, solely the social need to protect children economically, and, in so far as it can be legislated for, also emotionally. Religion can be useful in a religiously committed society in adding an ideological reinforcement to legal compulsion, but is otherwise irrelevant: marriage has nothing to be with giving legal sanction to fornication, which is primarily a public health issue. An emotional bond between its partners is highly useful but in no way a precondition, and if it initially exists, its continuation must always be problematic. A bethrothal is a useful preliminary, especially when endorsed by the partner's extended family and the wider society, and should make the bethrowed liable to civil breach of promise actions and to criminal prosecution for adultery, but should be terminated automatically if the bride fails to become pregnant within a reasoable length of time (say, five years). Marriage itself should not however be a free act but the automatic consequence of taking a pregnancy to full term, provided the outcome is a viable offspring. Gay marriage is simply illogical, but by the same token any disqualification of eligibilty for persons of the same sex from forming a civil partnership for cohabitation, on grounds of incest, is equally illogical. If a union fails for any reason whatever to produce progeny, it is cannot be a marriage. Whether gays should be allowed to become legal foster parents is something for psychologists to determine, purely on the basis of whether a child is likely to be affected adversely by being entrusted to two people of the same gender, and I think that will only be dispassionately determined when the question is considered objectively from the child's standpoint and not allowed to be affected by any concern for the supposed emotional needs of the fosterparents.

No! Marriage is a God instituted and God ordained union between a man and woman. Marriage was meant to secure and establish the family, to bring balance with the nurturing role of the woman and the security and provision from the male and both contribute to insuring an ongoing generational bloodline. As always, since Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden...immorality has degraded it and redefined it for mankind's selfish purposes, not God's. I find it incomprehensible, that people quote or assert an overused Bible passage every time they want to justify their perspective. They, he/she never really read or study the Bible to acquire a complete understanding of how it all came about and the difference between The Old Testament (it's OLD--Jewish History and Law) and the New Testament (it's NEW-- Grace of God toward man through Jesus' birth, crucifixion and resurrection afforded us Salvation)--So, when someone speaks of a man marrying two or more women, that was Old Testament under the Law of Moses, and it was to establish God's chosen people, secure the purity of the bloodline and to insure the legacy and covenant God made with the Jewish people through Abraham from which Jesus would eventually come from.

Therefore two gay men or two gay women cannot procreate. Just because laws are made to protect their chosen lifestyle, does not make them right and acceptable before God. Gays seek to feel normal and accepted in mainstream society, flaunting their SIN with no apology and no repentance. If we heterosexuals are considered, "Straight," then homosexuals must be "Crooked" in their behavior and chosen lifestyle. Gay people are so deceived in thinking God made them that way. He would not defile His creation in that manner. Jesus didn't die on the cross and shed His blood for any of us to remain in sin and to feel good about ourselves. God loves all people and desires a relationship with "whosoever will." Read, John 3:15 & 16 (New Testament Gospels)

Laws in the U.S.A. or any other nation should never be made to protect and preserve immorality. Marriage and the family unit are broken because of people's selfishness, immaturity, lack of discipline, self-control, and just plain "old-fashion sin." Everybody wants to do their own thing with no accountability and no consequences--This has diminished the Sanctity of Marriage and the Value of the Family. Sin destroys, degrades, and defiles anything God ever made and established in this Earth as "Good." May God have mercy on us all!
?
2015-09-23 05:02:34 UTC

even though it was legalized, lot of people just took it because the states seems to be the land of seen freedom.

have you ever told someone that i am gay and seen their first reaction??

me,i think it would have been better to ignore it(neither be legalized nor against)

Nobody should be told that they do not have the right to marry whom they love. They should have the freedom to marry the same gender just like guys have the right to marry women, or women have the right to marry men. Love is blind. It does not know gender or such things. It knows heart, and passion. When two people love each other it shouldn't matter whether its "gay" or not.

Yes it should be illegal because it's a major sin and disappoint God. People should wake and notice that they have an amazing father God that loves them. They really should stop sinning and know that the time will come one day. We might not know when but it will come that's gods promise to us.

I am not Christian. Is support gay marriage 100%. For all people out there saying it is a sin, Jesus disagrees:

the thing is, why shouldnt it be legal? its just 2 people who love each other vowing to stay together forever, so why should their sexuality matter? i dont even think it should have to be legalised as a seperate thing, it should just automatically be included in the marrige laws without specifying anything. we live in a sick world where people are way too judgmental, if you dont like gay people avoid them, dont try to stop their happiness just because you dont agree with their lifestyle!

No Marriage was instituted By God not man, he made Adam and eve , not Adam and Steve.. the courts have no right to state or define marriage, other then give ascent to the what the church defines marriage to be according to the bible... the bible defines marriage, as one man and one woman, procreation, it is not natural, and is contrary to nature, for a man to like a man, or a woman to like a woman, outside of demonic infestation, or the judgment of god upon a person, demonic infestation gives you feelings of lust toward the same sex, and feelings like drugs, and pleasure, contrary to human nature, when listening to the demonic infestation inside of you... demons of femininity, perversion, and sodomy, which homosexuals are infested with...

There are two types of homosexuals ones that were molested as a child, and or trying to find love in wrong lustful places, the other is the judgment of god, you lose all sense of moral judgment and understanding, and will find nothing wrong with molesting a 5 year old boy or girl. While the other type will..

Should homosexuals be in places of education or leadership no... they are mortally depraved, your children are at risk... they suffer from a mental illness, cause by demonic infestation, and need deliverance, the good news is that if they come to christ he will set them free, and return them back to normal, if they can respond to him in faith.. are they to be rejected by church no.. they can be changed back to normal, by saving faith, he will cast the demons out ect... their lifestyle will return back to normal, but they will still be tempted by evil spirits back into old sinful lustful lifestyle, but will have power from god to resist that temptation, and stand their ground, after salvation has taken place, are they to be accepted into church leadership as homosexual, or membership, no, no, and no, unless they accepted him and were set free... by him... and changed back to normal.... there is no such thing as a homosexual Christian... none... god does not accept that type of lustful depraved behavior... ever

I think it should be illegal and I don't hate the sinner, just the sin. We all sin but accepting gay or any other sin is pretty much saying sin is okay which it is not. Jesus died for our sins, He still loves us even though we sin but wants us to turn from sin. We still have that sinful nature passed on from generation to generation but again, we try not to sin and try to do right.

10. IT WILL DECREASE THE DIVORCE RATE.



More than 50% of married couples in America get divorced. Studies show that the US has one of the highest divorce rates compared to other countries. Allowing gays the opportunity to get married will increase marriage rates because less couples will get divorced due to incompatibility or infertility. Legalizing gay marriage will decrease divorce rate because it cannot get any worse than it is right now.

9. NO EFFECT ON THE HETEROSEXUAL COMMUNITY.



Gay Marriage will have no impact whatsoever on heterosexual communities, just as racial integration in the 60's had no negative impact on white communities. This is the same concept with legalization of gay marriage, it will grant the LGBT community a right that has been immorally denied to them.

8. SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.



One of the major reasons that gay marriage is currently illegal is due to the religious interpretation that " homosexual are sinners." Such a religious perspective should have no place in federal, legal matters in the US. We live a secular society that maintains secular views. The Ten Commandments do not define our legal system, so why does the religious argument "marriage is the union between a man and a women" keep so many gay couples from becoming legally married? Legalizing gay marriage will have no negative impact on religion and/ or the religious view of others, just as religion should not have any impact on the issue of gay marriage

7. IT'S AN ISSUE OF EQUAL RIGHTS.



In the 50's, interracial marriage was illegal. But now, modern society understands this to be an unjust law that denied equal rights to couples who loved each other. The issue of gay marriage is no different. Denying marriage to two individuals who love each other is to deny them a fundamental freedom.

6. GAY MARRIAGE IS ALREADY A REALITY.



In New York, thousands of gay couples have already gotten married. Manhattan is expecting $9 million revenue during the first year that marriage was legalized. Sure, the economic boost is a plus..but the reality is that millions of gay partners already practice monogamous. loving relationships in the United States. The trouble is that they are not legally protected as married couples, even though their lifestyle mimics marriage! Gays already practice marriage in their homes, so whats wrong with granting the LGBT community the rights they deserve?

5. BECAUSE CIVIL UNIONS ARE NOT THE SAME.



Gay couples are legally allowed to enter into civil union partnership.. but this is not nearly the same thing as marriage. Marriage licenses grant innumerable rights to married couples, rights that are not endowed to gay couples in civil unions. It is no excuse to deem that gay marriage is not necessary because "they already have civil unions...why do they want more?" The financial, medical, and social rights that are associated with marriage are unfortunately kept away from homosexual couples.

4. IT WILL DIMINISH YOUTH SUICIDE.



One of the main reasons why teenagers are commit suicide are due to the child being bullied at their school as a result of his/her sexual orientation. The same acceptance that will come about due to legalizing gay marriage will show teens that homosexuality is accepted and respected in society. We need to explain to younger generations that being different is not a social disability, so that they will never feel the need to take their own lives because they are gay.

3. HOSPITAL VISITATION & MEDICAL RIGHTS.



Its hard to believe that in an era of imaginable technological advancements, sexuality-based discrimination still exists. Hospitals cannot legally allow gay partners to receive medical information about their condition without a blood relative present. Legalizing gay marriage will allow gay couples hospital visitation rights and respect the validity of their marriage by letting them make medical decisions on behalf of their spouses.

2. FOSTER SOCIETAL ACCEPTANCE OF GAY COUPLES AND GAY INDIVIDUALS.



Legalizing gay marriage will help establish a social norm that includes and respects homosexual lifestyles. Couples as well as individuals in the LGBT community will seem less "different" from heterosexual lifestyle, so straight couples and individuals will be more inclined to accept homosexual couples into their communities.

1. INCREASE AMOUNT OF CHILDREN SUCCESSFULLY ADOPTED.



Most adoption agencies discriminate against gay couples and make it incredibly difficult for them to adopt children. Many agencies will only release children to "married" couples, therefore rejecting stable, loving, homosexual parents. By legalizing gay marriage in ALL states, adoption agencies will be forced to grant the same respect and right to homosexual couples. Gay marriage will increase the chances for thousands of foster children to gain loving parents and families.

gay marriage is for men who like other men's butt holes and colons and who like to put their penis inside where human feces comes out. that is absolutely disgusting. it's funny how people stick up for gays even though gays like poop on their sexual organs. if poop wasn't nasty we wouldnt wipe our butts after we poop. but since poop is disgusting, smelly, and full of germs, we wipe after we poop. so what makes a man who wants his penis inside of another man's butt not disgusting and wrong? you tell me, the penis has 1 destination, and it's not the butt hole or mouth. if u defend gays putting their penises into butt holes (where poop is) then maybe you shouldn't wipe your butt after you poop since it's ok that a man puts his penis into a butt hole of another man in your mind. since that's not nasty, maybe u shouldn't wipe ur butt cause that's not nasty either right?

Romans 1:18-32 (ASV) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness;

because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, [even] his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse:

because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves:

for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:

and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.

And even as they refused to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful:

who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise them.





In the United States, same-sex marriage has been legal nationwide since June 26, 2015, when the United States Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that state-level bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional~Wikipedia.



Bible-God's Word is clearly against homosexuality and other sexual immorality and idolatry(catholic/orthodox idolatry of intercession/veneration of saints ,Islamic/Jewish/JW idolatry of denying divinity of Lord Jesus Christ and pagan idolatry) and all liars,cowards ,unbelievers,murderers, occult magicians (people who try to contact evil spirits-satan and fallen angels and do magic using them), because according to Revelation 21:8 all these groups(cowards,unbelievers,idolaters,sexually immoral, all liars,murderers,occult magicians and vile) will be tormented forever and ever in the eternally burning lake of fire and sulfur.



Revelation 21:8 (ASV) But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part [shall be] in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
