Seriously, are you opposed to Gay Marriage?

[Multiply]

Sorry, I don't mean to be rude but this is a rather ignorant post. There are secular countries as well that define marriage as a bond between a man and a woman. Also, christianity is not the only religion that defines marriage as such a bond. And as the other guy said, there is no universal definition. Some societies support polygamy for example.

I just wanted to clear that.

The definition is Christian based. From the conception of "America" the definition of marriage has been that and was defined by the church.

I support Gay Marriage. There is currently a worldwide over population problem. This is a great start for the world. Don't be so hateful!

Why not judaism based?

Didn't know that America is the only place in the world, nor did I know that the church founded America. Guess I learn smtg new every day *shrug*

I was making the statement under the assumption that OP was talking about the US, considering he's from Texas. Lol. I also misspoke, the concept is just flat out religious-based.

Well, if the OP wanted the thread to be addressed only for Americans, he should have said so...

Anyway, it's not necessarily religious based:

"The historical record offers contradictory evidence on the development and extent of monogamy as a social practice. Laura Betzig argues that in the six large, highly stratified early states, commoners were generally monogamous but that elites practiced de facto polygyny. Those states included Mesopotamia, Egypt, Aztec Mexico, Inca Peru, India and China.
Both the Babylonian and Assyrian families were monogamous in principle but not entirely so in practice since polygyny was frequently practiced by the rulers.
Although an Egyptian man was free to marry several women at a time, and some wealthy men from Old and Middle Kingdoms did have more than one wife, monogamy was the norm.
As against Betzig's contention that monogamy evolved as a result of Christian socio-economic influence in the West, monogamy appeared widespread in the ancient Middle East much earlier."

At the end of the day, no matter how you look at it, whether in mongamy or polygamy, the institution of marriage almost always included both genders. That was the norm long before christianity. Now it's another question that practicing homosexuality was widespread in certain societies- but we're talking about marriage here.

Anyway, really, as I said few pages ago, if the majority of a particular country would vote for it, fine.

Woah woah woah you need to chill playa.

How did you come up with such conclusion in which their mentality is"toxic"? Is because they decide to stay quite about a something they're not sure about ? How are you so sure that yours isn't the one that's messed up ? Everybody is technically part of the problem not only the people that are staying quite.

You actually bring up a good point in this debate. Not all homosexual men and women are exactly right in how they go about this. There are many out there that are so focused on gaining equal rights for marriage that they themselves start forcing their own views on heterosexuals as well.

Equal rights is a good thing. But trying to make everyone except your views with bully tactics is never a good thing. This is a delicate topic which needs to be handled openly and with free exchanging thoughts, not hate and biased on either side.

Pretty sure the overpopulation thing isn't a problem in the first . India , China and various african and south american countries have that problem , but I doubt that they will change they view on homosexuality .



Also wasn't there a experiment where it was proven that homosexuality only occurs when the species is already well-off ?

 

[Sophie Ezra]

I do not see the problem with it let them marry times are changing so its time to grow up

 

[Luther]

In my opinion gay marriage is a sin and should not be tolerated and should be completely abolished. I firmly believe that with therapy and religion gay people can be treated to become normal functioning heterosexuals. I mean no offense to anyone but this is my opinion which i have a right to state.

 

[Holy Cross]

I don't care and I wouldn't vote

 

[Punk Hazard]

they themselves start forcing their own views on heterosexuals as well.

¨Treat us equally and allow us our rights because we're just as human as you.¨
Wow. How dare they. What a terrible viewpoint to 100% support. Why would anyone do this. Imagine if minorities and women had said and fought for the same thing. Whoo boy.

How do you feel about eating shrimp?
Touching a football?
Wearing clothes made of more than one fabric?
Not selling your daughter into slavery?
Planting more than one crop next to each other?

Leviticus all the way LOL

Sorry, I had to laugh at this!!!

OT, I couldn't care less about what other people do with their love life. If they marry, if they divorce. Who cares? Whats that to me? If two people like each other why wouldn't they marry? Whats the issue? If doesn't affect me one bit. I mean, its not like they will marry and move over to my place and I'll have to pay the bills. Why do we have this stupid thing to try and enforce how we live our lives onto others? If they want to have a relationship with someone of the same ***, how can that affect me? it doesn't! Let them live how they want to live and focus on your own lives. Unless they are perfect, sorry to say, but they require more of your attention than the lives of others.

Almost every species is known to have homosexuals, yet there're still morons who want to tell that homosexuality is against nature. Never argue with religious people.

And I firmly believe that with plastic surgery, dermatological therapy and religion, black people can be treated to become normally functioning white people. I mean no offense to anyone.

This is about what is right and wrong, if we as individuals choose to ignore a particular event or things simply because it doesn't directly affect us, then there is little to no hope for this our generation. Our actions impact the community and the society at large either directly or indirectly. Homosexualism is seen or viewed as an abnormal human interaction as it was always known that the man goes along with the woman. I earlier spoke on the impact of such things. Homosexual relationships have one of the highest amount or if not the highest of HIV/AIDS numbers in developed countries. **** *** is the most dangerous type of *** and the type of intercourse which one is likely to get STI from, now if the amount of gays keep increasing or gay marriages keep multiplying the numbers will keep on expanding and it will get to a time that this values might start shifting more into the heterosexual population, thus increasing the numbers of people infected with the disease.

2.In the book of genesis God created adam and created eve from his RIB because he saw that man was lonely and needed a companion. He didn't create A MAN, he created woman and told them to be fruitful and to multiply. That alone is fact from a religion and biblical standpoint which is followed by billions of people why homosexualism is not normal and shouldn't be accepted.

3. In my country and in some other african countries or in the middle east such homosexual acts are hugely frowned upon and carry jail term and in some extreme and brutal cases carry the death penalty. Now i do believe those actions might be too severe, but HOMOSEXUALISM CAN BE BROKEN!. The mentality needs to be changed with treatment of a therapist and awareness. Unlike my SKIN COLOR which i am born with and CAN NOT CHANGE, you do decide your sexuality, thus in theory you can change or at-least make an effort to change it. Im not saying deprive anyone of their basic human rights like right to live, to freedom, to vote and be voted for, all i am saying is society should not accept this behaviour as the norm.

There was a time when a black man doing the same things as a white man, working with a white man, living with as much freedom as a white man, was considered an abnormal human interaction.

You know what's truly wrong? Going out of your way to negatively effect the lives of people because of a trait that is harming no one and can't be controlled simply because it's different than what your selfish, ignorant ass likes.

That same Bible has also said eating shrimp, planting different crops side by side, touching the skin of a pig, and wearing clothes of different fabrics are a sin. Do you disprove of these acts? That book also states that anyone who works on the Sabbath should be stoned to death. Also, tell me how you feel about these verses:

- I Corinthians 11:6:
So if a woman does not cover her head, she should cut off her hair. If it is a disgrace for a woman to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her own head.

- I Corinthians 14:34-35:
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

3. In some countries, women are treated as subhumans, without the same rights as men. I guess that would make it okay for me to walk into your house, punch your mother and claim her as lesser than me and my property, no?

Luther. Is it rather that you hate yourself and reject homosexuality because deep inside you feel that you may also like men in a sexual matter? You don't need to be scared or ashamed. It's completely normal!
