Should gay people be allowed to get married?

Why not!

Everyone has the right to get married. It's in the Constitution of the USA.

I'm personally against gay weddings, but if they want to and they can then who am i to stop them.....

Homosexuality is a deviant form of sexuality. There is no reason why the state should "honor" it by letting two people of the same sex get married.

In what way would it effect you personally? Just curious. Because if you don't like it for religious reasons then, the gay married couple would never make it to heaven with you. So why do you mind if no one is getting hurt?

At one point the Christians thought Koreans were devils and demons. You still all inn?

Here's a good reason...

"Homosexuality is a deviant form of sexuality."

In what area?

Nature? Lots of homosexuality present in nature

"There is no reason why the state should "honor" it by letting two people of the same sex get married."

Yes there is.

Because the states appeals to the rights of ALL citizens, and [is supposed to] provide freedom and equality under the law to everybody.

That's why.

States allow marriage between a man and a woman. No one is excepted. There is freedom and equality under the law to everybody.

Jen, the voice of reason.

I'm not hateful enough to deny people equal treatment just because I don't approve of how they act or what they do (not that I feel like that towards homosexuality) it's not like like I go around trying to ban Christians from going into my neighborhood every week trying to convert people therefore stopping them from doing something other religions are allowed to do even though I see that as a grave insult

why not? its not going to make any difference in my life if they do or don't so we might as well let them

I don't think that I should have a say in how they live their life. If they want to be married to someone, I don't think I have the right to tell them they can or cannot do it. Discrimination is something that I've never been a supporter of.

I believe that everyone should be able to do what they wants , of course if it's not hurting anyone ...

why not?

I don't think this should even be an issue. I'm not American-- I'm from a country where gay marriage is legal. You know what? The country hasn't fallen into anarchy yet. The sanctity of marriage remains. Can you guess what the consequences for gay marriage are? Gays will marry. Nothing else will change. Gay marriage being legal literally does not affect the people who protest it in any way.

>>>Gay marriage being legal literally does not affect the people who protest it in any way.>>>

Yes, it does. There have been cases where practicing Christians who are florists, photographers, and innkeepers have been compelled under law to service "gay weddings."

This is in spite of the fact that freedom of religion is guaranteed by literal word in the U.S. Constitution, a document which never once mentions the word "marriage."

"It doesn't affect anyone else" isn't just a tired, old, broken-record, repeated argument. It's also an utterly false one.

Most states allow private businesses to have the right to refuse customers service for any reason. Is that all?

"Yes, it does. There have been cases where practicing Christians who are florists, photographers, and innkeepers have been compelled under law to service "gay weddings.""



...the horror!!

LMFAO

Because florists, photographers, and innkeepers who have been affected make up ALL protesters. Furthermore, whether or not they have the right to refuse service (which I'm pretty sure they probably do, but I'm not American, so I can't quote American law at you), if they voice their beliefs on it, in a respectful way, the couple would probably go look for another florist, photographer, or location anyways-- though maybe that's just my common sense kicking in here.

Can you think of any stronger ways that people are affected? Because if not, the argument is perfectly valid, and will be repeated until it's not true any longer.

I want a wife, and a few babes later in life.

It doesn't affect me if gay people get married So what the heck just allow it and if their in love then i think its good or okay

This question is getting tired

Well, if gay marriage was legal then no one would be asking it anymore :)

Very tired.

What does that mean? We're supposed to just say okay to "gay marriage" just to stop people's pestering questions?

What does that mean?

That if someone opposes "gay marriage," they're saying that gay people aren't human beings?

Is this the sort of "logic" that the "gay marriage" crowd bases its arguments on? Good grief.

Bigamists, polygamists, and people who are attracted to their siblings are also human beings. That doesn't mean we should legalize those types of "marriages," though.

Gay marriage is between two consenting adults (Americans). It's pretty disgusting of you to compare gay marriage with pedophilia. Would you do the same with interracial marriage?

Show me where she compared it to pedophilia. You can't. Although, behind the scenes some want that legalized too. Interracial marriage? Apples and oranges. This is based on sexual preference, not race.

True. But gay marriage isn't as bad those other marriages. I just feel that they should be given the right to get married. Simple as that.

Love's love

You don't have to reply if you don't like the question. I'm a new to sodahead and I was interested in other people opinions on the subject.

Agree.

You seem interested enough to read people's comments... maybe you just don't like the majorities' opinion isn't your own.

If the majority agreed with you, you wouldn't be asking the question.
