I say heck no! That is not fair for gay people to wed. I have many gay friends who i think would love to get married. I think if two people love each other they should get married. So what if they are the same sex it shouldn't matter. And for people saying that is against god or w/e you think it is against, let me tell you god loves all his kids AND love is between two people man/woman man/man woman/woman, not the whole world. So it shouldn't be peoples decisions just the couples. So i ask you all to vote no on prop 8 and let everyone wed, help spread the word!
Look , im against gay people and all that , but yes fine , i will agree that if two people want to be togther they should be however , as long as they stay somewhere where gay marraige is allowed , cuz frankly , the less spread it is the better
Ehm... Homosexuality can occur pretty much anywhere... If you took every homosexual person and placed them in a single country without the possibility to move out of there, there would eventually start being gays and lesbians around in the other countries again... It just occurs... Saying it should not be spread is just - ick, why do you even think that way? Why are you against gays?
Because Zoph, they think anything that's not in their belief system is considered stupid. I'm wondering the same question too; If AG was around in the 60s we would be talking about Civil Rights, and Zophia, I, and others would be the movement members, while those that are against it would be against the Civil Rights movement. It's exactly the same deal here, just about marriage rights. Eventually, there will come a day where there will be a homosexual rights movement leader that will head the movement, somehow get the homosexual rights gained, but will get assassinated by those that are against the movement. Then all you haters will feel sorry for what you did, and end up accepting these different beliefs.
For me, I believe in a loose constitution, meaning, if there isn't a specific law in the constitution, then that means that you can have this happen. Those of you that believe in a strict constitution, I have pity in you, for you are against so many things that are considered "abnormal". I normally stray away from these kinds of threads, but I just had to back Zoph up. Again =)
Well like i said before they dont bother me unless they are around me , here were i live a gay person is pretty rare , but well i got nothing against the person , i mean for all i know gay people can be pretty nice at SOME times , however , i am against gay people belief , and dont tell me to walk a mile in their shoes , cuz if they were in my place the same thing would happen , face it , there will always be gays and there will always be haters , and there will always be people who just wana waste time on internet fourms with nothing else to do =p thats just life!
yea we could do what we did with the asians during ww2. just round em all up and put them in concentration camps:P all joking aside, i dont think they should be married. i dont really believe in straight marriage either. if you love someone and want to be together, just be together. marriage is just a binding contract. but hey if they want to split up, the male loses half his stuff!(or in gays cases, the pitcher :P)
I tend to think a great many of you have no idea what being married is like. I have been married for ten years, and I can say that it changes your perspective a great deal. There are certain benefits to marriage denied to same sex couples that are often not considered:
1. Filing State & Federal taxes jointly 2. Putting spouses on each others' work benefits 3. Married people often get better rates for a mortgage, car loans, and car insurance. 4. The right to adopt children and creat a loving family.
Using the power of government to discriminate is unethical and wrong. The ideals of our country were written into our Declaration of Independence: "...Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness..."
As private institutions, religions can decide who they will or will not marry. The government does not have that luxury. It has to treat all citizens as equals. This means they cannot deny same-sex couples just because some people somehow feel squeemish about it, and religious objections clearly have no place here.
Not 35 years ago, there were states in our country that had laws on the books prohibiting interacial marriages. The majority of people in these states supported these laws, that didn't make them any more right than Prop 8, or any other laws preventing same-sex marriage between consenting adults.
For me, I believe in a loose constitution, meaning, if there isn't a specific law in the constitution, then that means that you can have this happen.
Well, for the United States, rights that aren't directly granted to the United States government are either banned to them and automatically given to the states, or can be disputed in the Supreme Court over whether or not the States have the power for that right.
