I'm hoping in a hundred years government isn't involved with marriage. I support the movement to get government out of marriage. Among other things, it makes the gay-marriage debate a moot point.

but marriage is a religious ceremony lol.

Even an atheist has to hear the word of God when they get married in the US, am I lying ?

I'm married. The word god was not uttered in my ceremony. Yes, you are wrong.

There is a right answer. They didn't allow multicultural marriages decades ago and people were against it. It was wrong then and it would be wrong now. This is this generation's version of that.

I support gays but marriage is touchy issue, its not black and white.


You know marriage go on in other countries between people who are related, right? Marriage isn't a Christian thing. It's something that people of all religions, cultures and races do all over the world. Gay marriage isn't allowed "here" because of religion and misunderstanding (the least harsh word for it I can think of)

Except they can't have a common law marriage. Where gay marriage is illegal, a same sex couple can't be common-law.

Anyone defending the hatred against homosexuals when it comes to marriage is a homophobe. There's no way around it. There's no reason to be against same sex marriage. AT ALL. If you say "that's how marriage always was"... you were against inter-racial marriage too? Inter-religion marriage? You wouldn't admit to that, but it's okay to admit to being against same sex marriage? GTFO.


So you're saying that over 52% of California is a homophobe? Really?

It is government controlled. State governments, in this case.


But you don't go into the DMV to get married.


No, but you do in fact need a license for the marriage to be recognized as valid.

No, no, no, no.

Interracial marriage does not have the same implications as same sex marriage, don't even go there. Interracial marriage doesn't involve anything that goes against or defies holy matrimony, same-sex marriage does.

I think theres a fine line between being wary of gay marriage and being a legit homophobe
not everyone "hates" gays but a lot are confused about the concept of same-sex marriage
don't see why we have to look down on them for that

Homosexuals cannot reproduce and bear children. It is not a normal union. I don't care if they are both adult humans. There are a lot of things that adult humans can or can't do, and we accept it. Why are gays special?

So, I don't support gay marriage. It is a biological malfunction of the human body. That's all it is. But some people in this country are filled with political correctness and want so badly to turn this into another black Civil Rights 2.0

Fact : Males are evolved, biologically, to procreate with females. If you are born homosexual and refuse to do that, then you have a malfunction. It is a genetic abnormality, same as being born with a a chemical imbalance in the brain or a 3rd leg or arm.

Depends on the state, but either way, marriage is seen as something that is done by the church. Make it separate from the church completely and I bet gay marriage get passed in 90% of the states in 2 years.

I am against gay marrage, I don't have anything against homosexual people I just don't think they should be aloud to marry as that's a religious bond between two people of oppersite sexes

I'm sure many won't agree with me and that's ok but to call them names would be wrong

So the idiot that said "bigot" and other such terms grow up


Marriage is not a religious bond.

And by religious you meant Christian, anyway. So Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, etc, cannot get married?

And you do have something against homosexuals, you just said it yourself. Homosexuals cannot get married in your eyes because they don't classify as religious to you, when there are many, many gay Christians, Jews, etc.

Okay, if it's a genetic abnormality, you obviously accept that the people in question have no control over their sexual orientation. If this is so, why punish them for something that they have no say in? Letting them marry harms no one, and if you're implying that it's in society's interest to only recognize marriage leading to children, then we'd have to ban the elderly, sterile and those who don't want children from marrying as well.

People are born gay.

People are born black.

The bible has nothing to do with marriage. Marriage was not invented by Christians.
