It is my opinion that they should be able to do anything that straight people can do. The fact that we are restricting them from getting married reminds me to much of the restrictions we placed upon women and blacks which most people would agree were terrible. I would also like to point out that I am not gay, I just believe in the freedom of the people. Feel free to post the opposing side of this as always.
Actually the only sin deemed unfortivable by Catholics is blaspemy against the holy spirit, which is refusing to love or acknowledge him even if you saw him.
In my opinion, "Gay Marriage" is an oxymoron. Marriage is a religous cerimony for christianity and Jeudism, and According to the christian Bible, Homosexuality is an abomination, or a sin. Any gay couple who wishes to marry, or any gay christians, are hypocrits. Yes, im homophobic, but if gay couples would like to be joined together ~shudder~ (sorry if that offended anyone.), it should be through another cerimony.
Sure. Go for it. Marriage is just a ceremony showing that you will be tied to that person forever and only that one person. Many people eff it up though. Telling someone who believes they were born homosexual that they can't marry their partner, is like trying to make someone change their own favorite color to what you think is a better favorite color. You can't change them to fit what you think is the right way to be. I don't think that there should be any laws agaisnt people getting married. There should be laws about sticking with them and only having one marriage. Not "you can't marry your own gender" More important things to do in life people. Geez.
I agree, MoonFairy. The issue is based more on fears and ignorance than law.
Also, someone said that marriage is religious? Marriage is a legal contract at it's core. What you add to it in ceremony is personal. I am getting married next summer. I am monogamous and am taking this commitment very seriously. I am also an athiest and will be having a non dinominational ceremony. Does this make my marriage less sacred than say a christian's? Is my relationship and love less important because I do not have religion? I don't think so. I will love my wife, and honor our marriage, religion has nothing to do with it. In the same way, can two gay people not love one another and wish to commit for life? If you believe it is sinful, then don't marry someone of the opposite sex. But if your plan is to crusade against all sins that are legal around the world, you will be very busy.
What do you see marriage as in media, everyday life, etc? It's a priest marrying two people. That's just sunk into out society and if you want to change that then you'll be very busy.
