I'm sure that heterosexuals wouldn't like it if they weren't allowed to marry and or adopt children.

Marriage was actually made by the government and should not have anything to do with religion at all, the government and religion are two different things; yet religion interferes with homosexual marriage =/ .

It's funny cause some people say that homosexuals marrying will destroy marriage, but mean while all of the heterosexuals keep getting divorced and if any of them are religious; Divorcing is a sin according to the bible at least. Homosexuals marrying would probably help revive marriage.

Homosexual marriage would actually help the environment, because if they could get married right around the corner; then it would save gas that would be used to go to another state, country or whatever.

As a homosexual myself, I do not want to marry. Marriage is overrated in my opinion, all people do is get divorced these days.

your right about all that and true they most likely wont like it if they were put in that spot and cared.

thats true but religion has interfered as time went by. if it wasnt marriage then it was something else if it wasnt religion is was race or something else like that.

that is true that they do often get in divorce and if they are religious then they would go by the bible seeing it as a sin, depending on which religion their in. if its a type of christianity like methodist then they most likely will get in a divorce.

umm i didnt think it would do that, but i supose.

thats cool that ur homosexaul getin married is your choice i could understand why you say that cause of people get divorced so much theses days its like as soon as they get married they get divorced. some cases if not most it is for taking the money or something like that.

It was a one woman show performed by this wonderful, amazing actress. She played the "man", and all the members of his family going through the changes along with him. It was an eye-opener! While the actress wasn't going through the sex change, her friend was and wrote the play as a catharsis for the two of them.
I actually became good friends with her after the play, she said when she first wrote and acted the play she did it at a lesbian bar. The people at the bar booed her off stage because they believed that a lesbian woman becoming a man is being a traitor to the community and vice-versa for the gays.



Too add back to the original topic of the thread. This actress was a lesbian who was married, and had a wonderful daughter. I met her wife briefly and they were adorable together!

I totally agree: we always focus on giving rights to the gay community, but often forget about the "T" in LGBT (or LGBTQIA for the ultra politically correct). They are probably the least understood and need the most support to outweigh the pressures they face.

Oh, and as for gay marriage, I'm for it. It seems silly and childish not to legalize it.

i don't really know what everyone has been written...

but i think homosexual should be allowed to get married.
Cu'z in my visions it's not the sex that you fall in love with,
it's the personality. SO how cares what gener the body are
when the personality is the thing you love?

I belive that no matter what your personal prefrence is that you should be allowed to do what you believe is neccessary to make you happy. I dont usally choose to comment but this is becoming a big thing for me i got to learn being in the milatary because eventually i will have a person who like to have partners of the same sex under me so i looked into the issue. I belive like i said that happiness is the one thing that you make your self and who is the goverment to tell you that you cant have that happiness that is given to you.

I'm not sure if this has been said yet, but just in case...

I think anyone who says that being gay is a choice needs to stop and think about what they're saying for a minute. A "choice" implies that deep down, any of us could potentially choose to have sex with a member of either gender if we really wanted to do so. To put it bluntly, saying it's a choice that anyone could make implies that every human alive is really bisexual, which is simply untrue. I'm sure some of the homophobes who have used that argument would be shocked if they were presented with such a comeback (that's not meant to imply that everyone who thinks it's a choice is homophobic though).

i have nothing against gays. if they want to get married so be it, i mean if there living together for yrs and yrs whats the diff????

I think everyone should be aloud to get marrie no matter what sexuality they are or anything else. Its just inhumane to not let someone wh likes the same sex to not be aloud to get married! I know many people who hate certin people because thee gay/lesbian/or bi and its just not write. They dont give them a second of there day because of who they like. I personally dont care who you like if you like men or women or both as long as your nice to me ill be nice to you. Everyone should have an open mind about it!

I'm personally very happy to see that there are so many people replying to this thread with the response that gay men and women should be allowed to get married. I mean, if I remember my history lessons correctly, wasn't America attempting to pride itself on Equality? Strictly speaking, I'm not familiar with the customs of other countries, but here, I believe they should be allowed to get married. They're just the same as we are. Why should we forbid two people from showing their love just because they share the same gender?

And these posts about homosexuality being a 'choice'. Where does this come from? You don't go out one day, and suddenly declare 'Hey, I'm gonna be gay today. Yeah, that sounds like fun.' No. The heart chooses who the heart wants to be with, it doesn't discriminate on gender, race or any other factor for that matter. True love lies in the heart of the two people involved, and it shouldn't be tampered with or hindered by anyone else who might find it 'morally wrong'.

My stance on the subject is this: Gay men and women should be allowed to get married. I see no problem with this. If you have a problem with this union personally, then just don't acknowledge it personally. Just because one individual or group has a problem with homosexual marriage doesn't mean that it should be against the law. It's the right of the individual if they want to get married, no matter what sex, race, or religion they may be.
