I know that there have been debates on homosexuals, but i would like to add a few things.
1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong? 2. What if you knew someone for years... and then you find out that they were gay/lesbian... would that change the way you feel about them? Would you still respect them? 3. Should it be legal for them to marry? Heres how i feel... 1. I personally do not see a problem with it. I have several gay/lesbian friends. That's the way they are. I dont see why it's such a big deal. 2. This actually happened to me. I knew this guy for like a year before he told me he was gay. I never saw it coming. It didn't change a thing. He's still my compadre. lol. 3. Absolutely. This is one thing i absolutely push for. How would this effect anyone negatively?? I really expect some comments on this one... |

1. It's fine. Being gay isn't something that most people choose to be. It's not like one day they're like "I wanna piss off everyone! *turns gay" They're just born gay.
2. I don't think it would matter to me. Unless it was a girl friend and she had a crush on me or something... 3. Yeah, everyone deserves the choice to be married. to whomever they want. People say if you let gays get married then you're going to have to start letting people marry like... inanimate objects or animals and crap. What the hell? Letting two human beings get married and letting some weird freak and their dog get married is a very big leap. Just because they both have the same genitalia.. no reason to discriminate against them. |

homosexuals are all right by me.
my old friend Ken came out of the closet a year and a half ago and my respect for him sky rocketed. he's all cool about it n stuff and doesn't care about homophobes or anything. since the govt. has authority of people getting married it only seems apropriate that homosexuals can wed. |

1. no. it's cool. there's nothing unnatural about loving someone. even if they're the same gender...
2. i don't think it should change. unless you had a crush on them. that would be a little weird. 3. defenitly. i think it's unfair to deny someone marriage just because we view them differently. |

1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong?
I think it's a little weird for people of the same sex to like each other but it's not my business. 2. What if you knew someone for years... and then you find out that they were gay/lesbian... would that change the way you feel about them? Would you still respect them? I would feel a little funny around them but of course I would still respect them! 3. Should it be legal for them to marry? Yes, everyone should be able to marry whomever they choose My two cents ^ ![]() |

1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong?
It's fine with me. *shrug* It's cool that people are different, and I respect their own decisions/ways of life. 2. What if you knew someone for years... and then you find out that they were gay/lesbian... would that change the way you feel about them? Would you still respect them? I'd still respect them, of course! Psh. They can't help that they're gay anymore than we can help we're straight. 3. Should it be legal for them to marry? Yes. If we (straights) can, they sure as hell should be able to, as well. |

1. No problem with me
2. Its there business as to what they want to tell you... If you were billionaire and wanted "real" friends, would you go around telling everybody. Not a very good example, but it's their business and you have no right nosing in. Who cares which gender your friends has sex with 3. Why not...what wrong with that....we have a show called "who wants to marry a millionaire" so there is NOTHING sacred about marriage these days. |

The House rejected the Amendment on Gay Marriage. Looks like the Government isn't so insane after all:

I'm sorry the "the house rejected the Admendment on Gay Marriage. Looks like the government isn't so insane after all." I think that makes the government look even more insane.

1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong?
i ok wit it, i'm bi myself, so that should answer that 2. What if you knew someone for years... and then you find out that they were gay/lesbian... would that change the way you feel about them? Would you still respect them? of course, i came out to 2 of my friends and they chill wit it. they didnt change the way they felt bout me, but maybe more closer. 3. Should it be legal for them to marry? theres this saying that my friend had on his profile. marriage is not a heterosexuals privilage, but a human right i think thats how it goes. lol but yea i support it, i think its redicuous to deny two people who love each other and thye cant take it to the next level. |

I have no problem with gay people...I have many gay friends...so thats no worry there...hehe 2. What if you knew someone for years... and then you find out that they were gay/lesbian... would that change the way you feel about them? Would you still respect them? Hell no!! I got a friend now, he won't tell anyone that he is gay but, everyone knows that he is...I just think he doesn't want to say cus he don't know how everyone will react...i personally don't care he is one of my good friends and that wont change... 3. Should it be legal for them to marry? This is a sensitive subject...so i just won't answer it.. |

QUOTE 1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong? I'm not totally against homosexual, but I'm not supportive either. QUOTE 2. What if you knew someone for years... and then you find out that they were gay/lesbian... would that change the way you feel about them? Would you still respect them? I think probably not. Everyone has their own choice and I respect them. QUOTE 3. Should it be legal for them to marry? Erm... I think no (sorry) |

1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong? It's fine. It's not wrong at all. They're still humans. I have many many many gay/lesbian friends, I have more gay/lesbian friends than I do straight.
2. What if you knew someone for years... and then you find out that they were gay/lesbian... would that change the way you feel about them? Would you still respect them? No, my views would not be changed on them. I would probably repsect them more than I did before. 3. Should it be legal for them to marry? Of course. It shouldnt matter the race, age, nationality, or gender of 2 people. All that matters is that they love each other. |

The gay marriage road takes us right to polygamy.

lets think abotu it this way:
people didnt like it when a white person marries/loved a black person. but now, none of that matters. you couldnt believe why some people were againest it. maybe in the future, it wouldnt matter what gender you marry. you dont see gays protesting our weddings. no you dont. open your mind. |

QUOTE(kantoaznboi @ Oct 4 2004, 12:40 PM) marriage is not a heterosexuals privilage, but a human right It is a human right to be married. Heck, but your friend must consider this: there is common law marriage and there is legal marriage. I know people who have been common law married for DECADES and are happy. They are recognized as man and wife by everyone except the law but they don't care. They're happy with the way things are (and they are financially stable). It is a human right to be married and one can say that they are common law married by any means; no one can say otherwise. WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT ORIGINAL QUOTE IS, homosexuals want to be married LEGALLY. Is it a human right to be married legally? I don't know, really, because I think to be married by common law is just as good as legally except without the tax breaks. |

NO it shouldnt be legal. If we allow gay marriage to be recognized legally, what is to stop room mates from getting the same benefits as a married couple?
