    What is your word on this shit. my sister and dad got in a talk about it last night and it made me curious about what your thougts are people. my sister is for it. says it is rediculous to make something like that illegal because they are not harming anyone else by deciding to get hitched. my dad is against it and says it is abomination.i'll be honest I disagree with it too. there is a reason marrege is supposed to be for MEN and WOMEN and because of my religious beliefs i dont think its right to mock what it is supposed to be. no i dont think it should be illegal or anything but i do not agree with it and if any of my friends did it i would probably be a little upset. lemme tell ya people we had an interesting debate about it and i want to extend it to you. debate yur little hearts out.

    With respects to the secular side of marriage, I'm for it. In actuality, I really can't see why it is anyone's business if the person you love is the same sex as you or not, and I don't particularly agree with same sex couples not being able to get the same government benefits (such as being beneficiary of their partner's life insurance, inheriting their estate, tax breaks, child support/alimony, or what-have-you) as heterosexual couples. But on the other hand, I will defend the right of any particular religious group that says "This goes against our beliefs, and we won't perform the ceremony."

    So, I don't feel that the government has a right to make same sex marriage illegal, or refuse to recognize it, but if a religion chooses to feel that way, there's not really anything that can be done about it- that's their belief, and they have a right to it.

    Personally, I don't care. At all. As long as gay people don't harass me, I couldn't care less.

    Although if you want to get into a debate about the marriage portion, technically marriage is all a religious thing. Even if it doesn't seem to be so now-a-days. And the definition of marriage (At least in my little pocket dictionary) is a union between a man and a woman.

    Yeah, I don't think it's wrong for two people who love each other to get married. As long as it's two PEOPLE it really doesn't matter. As famous comedian, Lewis Black once said: "You know, there maybe a different reason why The Bible says marriage should be between a man and a woman. I mean, maybe it went like 'One day in the desert someone finds a camel and they go to Mosses saying "um, excuse me, Mosses, yeah I found her, and she and I have so much in common, so can I marry her?"' IT'S A CAMEL!"

    or something like that, I don't remember the words exactly.

    I consider marriage to be both religious and secular. I can go down to the courthouse with a marriage license and get hitched, no priests , rabbis, pastors, or God(s) needed. This is the sort of marriage that I think should be open to anyone regardless of sexual orientation.

    The marriage that is performed in a church-like setting, by a church-like official, I think should be governed by the rules and beliefs of that specific church. If the So-and-So Church doesn't approve and doesn't want to officiate for any same sex marriages, they shouldn't be forced to. But if it is a part of their beliefs that anyone can be married, regardless of gender, they should be able to perform those marriages and have it count in the eyes of the government, as well as in the eyes of whatever deity they worship.


    Really, if you want to know, my true opinion is this->
    But that doesn't give me much to debate with. ^_^

    I dont mind if two men or two girls want to get married to eachother. It doesnt bother me really that much. If they think they are in love and all that stuff I dont see any reason why I personally should be against it. Who am I to say 'no you cant get married' to two people I dont even know.

    It is against the belief of my church to allow homosexual marreges and I remember once a band of homosexual protesters did a protest at one of our temples. That is the only thing that kind of annoys me. Homosexuals want a right to follow their own beliefs and political views right? And they should have that freedom. So how did those people not find it hipocritical that they would be angry at the LDS church for sticking to their own beliefs and traditions? Thats something I dont quite understand.

    I agree with homosexual marrege to an extent, but churches are not being unreasonable for not allowing Homosexuals to get married in their churches, and I wouldnt do it myself.

    I have been wondering this countless times, ending in the solution that my opinions change from time to time on the subject. So many things happen on the matter of this debate, so yup.

    Anyways, I agree with others on the part that it's not a big deal for two persons of the same sex to get married, but as it lead to marriage, eventually that leads to that the couples want to have children. Okay, so it seems okay for two of the same sex having children. On the note of the child, it would seem weird when both of the parents share the same sex when other couples don't, at school the child would be most likely be bullied about it... so that kinda turns the tables around.

    As I belong to church (but don't believe in God, I guess that I'll soon ), I have learned there that the priests there don't have any room in their minds for homosexuals. We discussed the subject over many times with the priests, only to be turned away with the idea having gay couples even belong to church, since God wouldn't accept them.

    I have nothing against the marriage. Gee.

    I agree with mostly everybody here, i wouldn't care if two guys or girls wanted to get married, i would marry them, if they are in love and happy, who am i to say that it is wrong? that there happiness is wrong, that there wrong? People who want to get married and dont have to go to a church or a court, Go to vegas, or make your own. I think it's wrong to say you cant marry the same sex, i think most ppl that are agasnit are scared of them, scared cuz there different and that they have found love in the same sex, that the ppl that are agasnit are scared that if they support it, they will be labeled as gay too. In the bible it say's something like man shall not sleep with man and woman with woman, so maybe that's the main reason chruchs dont let gay people marry.

    GrandShadow I accept your challange.

    this is also my opinion.

    all the stuff against homosexual marrige is religious people that think they're sinning. but since religion is nothing more then a system to control the idiotic masses that can't think for themselves, i would vote to legalize it in a heartbeat.
