I personally, think that gay marriages should not be outlawed. You can't help who you love. Why should the government be able to tell anyone who they are allowed or not allowed to date. They already control out lives to an extent, why should they be allowed to control it even more? They shouldn't. I also believe this with inter-racial dating, incest, and age gapped relationships. While some of us may not agree with it, who's to say it affects us? Who's to say we have the right to control them?

I didn't noticed and didn't mind, until now.

Why must people who are against gay marriages be 'ignorant' or 'closed-minded'?!? Just like you can't FORCE a person to accept religion, you can't force someone to accept gay marriages. To many, it is a relatively moral decision to be against it.

There's nothing ignorant about not agreeing with an idea! Do you people even know what ignorant means? mad.gif Lets see you try to accept something you don't like! At least I'm not protesting, yelling/screaming against them or anything. I'm just expressing my opinion that it is not seemly for someone like me.... Pffft, and that makes me ignorant. _dry.gif

Anyway, I had to get that out of my system. Anyone care to debate why not accepting gay marriages would make me ignorant? stubborn.gif
Bring it on!

separation of church and state...I don't think the government should decide, it should be the church's decision. I think we should allow civil unions. people deserve equal rights.

marriage is defined by the church. it is a religious thing constructed by the church.

a civil union has all the same benefits but witout the religious connotation.

taht is why the govornment should not outlaw gay marriage. it is for each church to decide.

and i guess it just depends on what we think is normal. what is normal in one culture may be completely taboo in another and vice-versa.

QUOTE
If things were that easy, then all sorts of groups would want to legalize their union: incest, 40 yr old adults and 10 year old kids, teachers and students... etc.



Unions between adults and children will never and should never be justified because their is an imbalance of power between the partners. Also, teacher students relationships are not good because there is a severe imbalance of power. According to law in most states children under 18 are not able to legally consent.

A union or relationship between 2 adults of the opposite sex that is consenual is completely different than the examples you gave..

Okay, they may be an 'imbalance of power' but they still want to love. What's the problem with loving your teacher as opposed to a man and man loving? I think that's an imbalance of morals.

The Church only decides on marriages to those who come to the Church for marriage. OTHER CULTURES marry in different ways. Do you think that everyone must go to a Church to be man and wife?

wow. you make no sense whatsoever. at the very least, support your opinion with actual reasoning. i will call you closedminded. because you are. how is being gay wrong? And how are you against homosexuals? You say it as if they are aliens or something. Have you ever even talked to a person that is gay? Maybe if you get out of your sheltered life, then you'll realize that gay people are just like straight people. mad.gif

^you're against it because the bible says it's wrong? Or are you just against it because of what you personally feel about homosexuals?
I am absolutely for gay marriage.
The government has no right to say who you can love. It's not hurting anyone!! You can look down upon it, but it should definitely be allowed.

I support. The only way I can explain it is that it's only fair. If you're in love, you should have the same rights as everyone else. I think it's beautiful to see two people love eachother (not like that, just see them together.. you can just tell), whether they be man and woman, man and man, or woman and woman.

I don't even know why I feel compelled to explain myself to you. I wasn't a mod then and couldn't have closed it and not that many mods frequent this forum then, but I will find the original topic and merge it if you want, your Highness.

This is the debate forum, so debate. Better yet, read the RULES before posting or else your warning levels will be raised.

In fact, this is your warning before I raise your warning level.

we as humans arent perfect there fore are made to make mistakes. the bible says a lot of things and although the bible says that homosexuality is wrong it also says to accept people.......

yes people do tend to throw around the word ignorant but being close minded yes... because gay people are also people they have mouths two ears and two eyes just like any other person, but you should also consider they love too they just happen to love another person like you do but in the same sex. but in any other words its the same meaning ... "love" .. you can be close minded. i know you know this already (because you have made thousands of posts) but you gotta look into the other person's eyes you cant just go and deffend one person without looking at the other side.
