Um, people who are frightened of change in society say that.

EDIT: It doesn't matter if you're disgusted with it. Having an argument by saying it disgusts you isn't valid at all. It actually kinda makes you look stupid and ignorant (saying generally to anyone who uses personal feelings like disgust to back up their opinion) Now you can manifest your disgust and go find some hard evidence on why it should be illegal forever, then that would be debate. No one can "argue" or "change" your feelings since it seems so buried deep in your heart.

Our school had a debate on gay marriage. Pro was that its a human right. Con was that it would open the door for polygamy activists and beastiality and pedialphile activists.

Now I totally agreed w/ both sides, but I had to choose pro in the end. Just becaues there is a chance it can open the door, it is STILL a human right. The def of marriage in america's gov't has "any man and woman joined..." ok, so that would automatically void all gay marriages right? Well back when blacks couldn't marry whites, the def of marriage was "any same colored man and woman joined.." So the gov't can change it's definitions.

Umm pedialfialia(sp) doesn't have a consenting partner in it so it can't be legal (unless the gov't finds 5 y/o have a mature enough mind)

I can't say anything about polygamy, i totally forgot the argument against it. =/

P.S. the debate was funny at the end, a guy came up and brought religion into it. which sparked another hour of debate. and the debate was going so secular too.*sigh*

1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong?
Yes I do think its wrong but I have nothing against it.

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 it doesn't change the way I feel about them. My ex actually came several months ago..and I'm still friends with him though it is a bit weird for me when he starts talking about guys and stuff like that around me.

3. Should it be legal for them to marry?
No I don't think so..I think there should be some other way that gay people can be together that would be marriage with the same benefits just not called the same thing. But it really is there right to get married.

[DittotoAnne18]

1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong?
Honestly, i think its fine if people want to get married..who cares if they are two men or two women? I believe what it comes down to is love, so if they love eachother, why not right?

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?
Yeah, it wouldnt really change how i felt about them. They are still human beings and they deserve respect, they didnt do anything wrong did they?

3. Should it be legal for them to marry?
Yes, it should. They love eachother.

It makes me very angry that people would be against this. It makes peoples lives better, and if you are against it, answer this one question - How does it affect you if they get marrieD? No one is making anyone get married to anyone, so why does it really matter?

[straightedge9]

1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong?

I feel VERY strongly about this topic.. IT IS PERFECTLY FINE TO BE GAY. there is no way at all that it is wrong. not AT ALL. yeah so im a little disturbed when i see lesbians making out. that doesn't mean that it's WRONG. is it a sin to be in love?

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 respect them all the more for being able to tell me that they were gay. I have a couple gay friends, and personally, i think they are SO much sweeter than any other straight guys. And if it's someone i've known? well, if it was a girl, then yes i would feel a little odd around them... but i would try my hardest to make it easier for them to go through.

3. Should it be legal for them to marry?

O yeah... even my parents, who are against gay rights, have told me that marriage is all about love. and like i've said.. if you're in love, then you should be allowed to get married.

and all you people that are saying being gay is wrong... what would you do if you loved someone very very much, and then you weren't allowed to get married... you weren't allowed to have the title of marriage.. and you have to live an illegal life if you do get married somewhere... how can you say that being merely gay is wrong, when people like you are hurting these couples so badly.

[dreamerOi]

1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong? I think if it makes you happy its alright.

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 don't like to judge people so no it wouldn't change how i feel about them. I respect everyone that is respectable.

3. Should it be legal for them to marry? Sure, what should hold them back i mean if someone took away your happiness how would you feel?

[straightedge9]

all i wana say that...so they are homosexuals, so they have to continue it forever? well we gotta teach them a lesson on being their ownself. seriously i think it's very disgusting...

and i want it to be illegal... seriously like forever. i know all you guys like homosexual be gay forever and have sex and kiss all day having fun... wow... i dont know why you guys want them to have a nice life and wed together...seriously... i guess you guys dont care whoever they marry... so if ur daughter/son was a les or a gay person... would you let ur daughter marry a daughter? would you reallie do that? ew i cant stand a girl and a girl kissing together like britney spears and madonna...

first of all... you aren't making much sense.. i had to read that through a couple times to understand what you were saying....

i can't believe that you would think that this debate is about people "having sex and kiss all day having fun" do you really think that the author of this topic had that in mind when they posted this? and if my son or daughter was gay or a lesbian... i would have NO problem with it. you have no control over other peoples feelings.... even if being gay in itself is outlawed... people are still going to be gay. you can't change the way that you are attracted to someone. i must admit.. even i have had feelings more than just physical attraction for another girl. and that wasnt by choice let me tell you.... and as for "teaching them a lesson on being their ownself." for a gay or a lesbian... that IS their "ownself". they cant change who they are just for people like you.

i dont descriminate against that a human is a human

[*Weird addiction*]

nothing wrong being gay...if my friend wuz gay ill respect him/her as if they wuz straight!! ppl should stop blabbing bout this,it's their f*cking sexuality!!!

[*mSz_dOrk_anGeL*]

1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong?

I feel that if your gay, your gay. To me it's not wrong at all, this is the land of the free, and if you want to be gay, 'Rock on in the free world'

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?

Nope. Not at all. I don't think I could ever change my feelings for someone just because of their choices. I would love them the same way. I infact already have two best friends who are lesbians, and when they came out, I was so happy for them. They had found peace in their hearts.

3. Should it be legal for them to marry?

Beh, this is a touchy one. I feel that maybe it is okay. But, if they can't marry then give them the same rights as married couples. My uncle and my 'aunt' have been with each other for over 12 years, but they arnt married, but they still have same rights as married couples. Thats how I feel -_-


So yeah .. bite me ..

[HiddenFaerie]

1. I don't think that being gay is wrong at all. It's normal. It's not really your choice to make, you're born gay and have to live with it.

2. At first I might be a bit annoyed. Something that big shouldn't have been kept off for so long. But I don't think think it's all that big of a deal. I have gay and bisexual friends, I respect and love them.

3. Of coarse. If two people love each other enough to make the commitment they should do it. Love is love, there is simply nothing more to it.

[*Weird addiction*]

1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong?
personnaly i dont wanna be gay,i dont like girls but i love it when boys kiss or have sex,i mean sometimes we get bored with the opposite sex,its normal,its their choice,ppl should stop critisizing them
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,they never changed,just their sexuality....its just like "what if u knew someone for years and then u find out that they have aids"....the only diff is that homosexuality isnt a sickness,its a sexuality
3. Should it be legal for them to marry?
well of course,marraige shouldnt be about race or sex but about love

oops double posted!!

[I.Luff.Emo.Boys.]

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.

i totally agree.

I think its un-constitutional to ban gay marriges.

A person always has their basic rights- life, liberty and the pursuit of happyness.

If being married to the one you love makes you happy, its your right to do it, no matter what gender.
If america is so free, then why people marry the ones they love?

all i want to say is that your a shallow and selfish person.

if you dont want to see girls/guys kissing, turn away, because its none of your buisness. If i had a daughter and i found out she was gay of course i would be shocked, but i would go to her wedding to her spouse and i would totally support her. Do you see gay people marching around banning us from marrying? im sure they arent turned on buy guy/girl kissing either. Gay marrige is only a problem to people because they are the minority in the United States. Which, by the way, is supposedly "free" but a person who loves someone the same gender cant even marry them.

If the United States was made up of mostley gay people, im sure you would like your right to marry the other sex.

[Spirited Away]

I find some arguements for homosexuals very valid, heart-warming (like the person who said "I do not discriminate what is human"), and persuasive, while others complete absurdities.

To those who thinks that one can just "turn away" from something they don't like, that's the most problematic thing you can say in this debate.

With that line of thought, I can argue that if someone prefers beastiality and you have a problem with it, why not just turn away? It's none of your business. And what of incest? It's none of your business, just turn away. How about those who want to commit suicide or cut themselves? It's what they want, just turn away because it's none of your business.

That line of arguement just doesn't work to persuade, it just pisses people on the other side off.

[*kryogenix*]

If the United States was made up of mostley gay people, im sure you would like your right to marry the other sex.

no, because if everyone was gay, no one would be able to reproduce. having a majority of gays is really dangerous to the survival of humankind.

[sammi rules you]

1. i don't think it's wrong at all. it's just like a man and a woman, except it's not..i don't know, but you get what i mean. there's nothing wrong with it as long as the people are happy.

2. it wouldn't change my opinion of them. if i'd known them that long, i would probably already know they were before they told me. telling me would just confirm it.

3. of course. there is nothing with them being allowed to marry. if straight people can marry, why can't gay people? what's the bad thing about showing love for another person?

all i wana say that...so they are homosexuals, so they have to continue it forever? well we gotta teach them a lesson on being their ownself. seriously i think it's very disgusting...

and i want it to be illegal... seriously like forever. i know all you guys like homosexual be gay forever and have sex and kiss all day having fun... wow... i dont know why you guys want them to have a nice life and wed together...seriously... i guess you guys dont care whoever they marry... so if ur daughter/son was a les or a gay person... would you let ur daughter marry a daughter? would you reallie do that? ew i cant stand a girl and a girl kissing together like britney spears and madonna...

oh my. i would go off so much at this post, but i'll attempt to control myself.

how is a gay person or a lesbian person kissing another disgusting and straight people isn't? i'd feel the same uncomfortableness with seeing straight people making out in my face as gay people.

if my kid turned out to be gay, i'd let them be with another gay person..it's not like i can change their minds. people are born gay just like people are born black or white. i wouldn't care as long as they're happy.

Who cares?

People have the right to do what they want as long as it doesn't hurt (hurt, not offend) someone else.

You might be offended by britney and madonna, but someone might have been offended by you typing this message. Should we thus ban free speech?

^ ahem. Not all homosexual people choose to be homosexual, you know that, right?

1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong?
I think it's fine. I don't see anything wrong with it. I feel as if everyone should be treated fairly. What is really wrong with homosexuality? because your parents & whatever else thought them that man and woman should be and the only them can wed.

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, I would still respect them. Just because 5 minutes of them telling me that they are homosexual doesn't mean I would change the way I see them. I like my friends for who they are.

3. Should it be legal for them to marry?
Yes... but also, friends with benefits, maybe?

[sikdragon]

1. It's a choice, just like those who have a tendancy to steal.

2. Respect has nothing to do with it. If i had a friend who suddenly became addicted to drugs, i would still respect them even if they refused rehab and continued until they were insane. If they gained my respect they keep it till they lie to me. I turn the other cheek.

3. No, what is to stop roommates from getting marriage benefits? Why can't people stay good friends and have sex with bagels and butter anymore? If the government denies their ability to be recognized legally as a couple, why can't they just live together?
besides, marriage is a christian institution. Find you're own ritual and get different tax breaks and benefits by enforcing you're freedom of religion.

X_x i just don't think it's right, but i relaly dont ' care what you say about it... i just don't think taht god made man to be gay... religious thing, i know
