It doesn’t affect your life in the slightest of gay people can marry. If straight people can marry consensually, and above 18, then so can gay people, the gender doesn’t matter in the slightest.
@9FDCTKL2yrs2Y
We are pretty clearly in the Bible that it is a sin in God's eyes. You also can not take 2 threaded male ends of a pipe and put them together. The same goes for 2 female ends of a pipe, they do not work with each other.
@9CJ6CB62yrs2Y
The Bible isn't a basis for how the government should decide things. The Old Testament is filled with promotion of things the government could never stand for, so it's factuality in policy should be taken with a grain of salt. Not every marriage is built upon the desire to have kids, and adoption is an option either way. They shouldn't be held back because the bible said so and... procreation.
While it's true that the Bible shouldn't be the basis for governmental policies, it's also important to remember that many laws are influenced by moral and ethical standards, which often have roots in religious beliefs. For example, most societies agree on laws against murder, theft, and perjury, which are all prohibited in the Ten Commandments. That's not to say that religion should dictate laws, but it's undeniable that it has played a role in shaping societal norms.
As for marriage not being solely about procreation, I agree. However, it's also crucial to cons… Read more

You can’t use inanimate objects to represent humans. A car wouldn’t drive if they had a square and circle wheel, therefore same sex marriage is okay, according to this logic.
@9FFCDCF 2yrs2Y
I agree. Gay marriage should be protected by law as it does not harm anyone, nor does it involve anyone other than the people in the marriage.
@HelcovichEmireRepublican4mos4MO
If 2 men can marry, then why can't 2 siblings? Both face the same issue: they can't make a baby (brother and sister could but the baby would probably have many issues).
@9FD68Q8Republican2yrs2Y
Gay marriage is just not how life is meant to be. You cant reproduce with another person from the same gender as you, which is the the reason gay marriage should not be allowed, and it should only be between male and female.
@9CJ6CB62yrs2Y
So then if they can’t reproduce then they can’t marry? Who cares? There’s plenty of straight couples that can’t have kids but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t marry. Not to mention that over 1,500 species have shown homosexual tendencies, penguins being among the higher ones. Nature isn’t against this, it’s just people that have little understanding. Not being able to reproduce doesn’t mean you can’t marry, and reproduction isn’t always done through marriage either.
Your point about reproduction is interesting, and while it's true that not all couples can or want to have children, marriage historically has been linked to procreation and societal stability. However, in recent times, marriage has evolved to mean more than just a means for reproduction. It's also about companionship, emotional support, and mutual respect.
Regarding nature, it's true that over 1,500 species exhibit homosexual behavior. However, it's also important to note that while animals behave instinctively, humans possess the ability to reason and make choices. Our actions are not solely driven by instincts but also by our norms, beliefs, and laws.
That said, how would you reconcile the traditional definition of marriage with the evolving societal understanding of it?
@9CJ6CB62yrs2Y
I’d say the point of marriage is love and commitment. That’s the societal point I’d make, it doesn’t matter how it’s formed (as long as above 18 and consensual), it just needs love and commitment, and I truly don’t care how it functions as long as they’re happy and safe. Reproduction could be one of the main facets of it, but that shouldn’t be a societal requirement unless they choose, as opening up options for families is just a rather good idea.
@9HGMXYXIndependent2yrs2Y
That has to be the smartest thing i have heard someone say in a while
@B3C3HQL7mos7MO
Your argument doesn't hold water.
Many straight couples choose to never have children.
People in the LGBTQ+ community are people too.
If they don't want children, that's their choice.
Why are you mad that some people want to love the way that they choose?

Gay and straight people are the same and there's no need to have a kaw to differentiate them. Just let everyone live, it is never that deep

The Bible also relates how God destroyed Sodom for homosexuality with Fire and Brimstone. I love that chapter.
@9ST7HGX1yr1Y
For context, here's what else is in that chapter! Lot was so aggrieved by the thought of homosexuality that he offered his two virgin daughters to be raped instead. Later on, his daughters got their father intoxicated so they could have sex with him in order to bear his children. Yes, it's quite clear where you get your morality.
@Renaldo-MoonGreen 11mos11MO
Honestly that chapter seems to show why Homosexuality is better than some other things. (say having your virgin daughters raped)
@9FMJ6M9Republican2yrs2Y
Quite frankly gay marriage seems like it is being forced upon people nowadays. It's getting very out of hand. Gay people are trying to force what they believe onto children and are forcing them into thinking they are gay.
@Lex6mos6MO
No one is forcing gay marriage on anyone. What’s actually happening is that LGBTQ+ people would be given the basic rights they should have had all along. If seeing people live freely and equally feels like something being “forced” on you, maybe the problem isn’t them—it’s your discomfort with equality.
As for your deep concerns about " protecting the children"—teaching kids that some families have two moms or two dads isn’t “forcing” anything upon anyone. It’s teaching basic respect for other people. Kids aren't… Read more
@9CJ6CB62yrs2Y
You sir have just said something completely, totally, 100% false. Gay people aren’t interested in “making kids gay” NEARLY as much as straight people turning gay kids straight. Observe the fact that conversion therapy has been extremely prevalent in the last few decades.
They aren't interested in making kids gay, despite being involved in massive parades through the streets, faces painted rainbow colours, chanting "WE'RE COMING FOR YOUR KIDS! WE'RE COMING FOR YOUR KIDS!" and funding drag queen story hours at public libraries to indoctrinate children into homosexuality and gender ideology, or the fact that they demand a month where sane members of society are forced to pay homage to these morally bankrupt scumbags? You certainly wouldn't think it, but thanks for pointing that out!
@9CJ6CB62yrs2Y
That chant was literally started by a critic at a pride parade, and he was one of the only people actually chanting it. That was also one of thousands in America, so yet again, as you won’t stop rambling about before, this is the fallacy of hasty generalization. Drag queen story hours are kept surprisingly tame for a reason, it’s like hiring a clown or a member of the circus to read books, not a p0rn star strutting inside of an elementary school. For the love of all that is holy, stop thinking that they’d gain anything at all from “mAkInG tHe KiDs GaY”, the purpose of SOME events is to inform, not indoctrinate, while the rest aren’t targetting anyone in particular at all.
By "informing" children might you mean infusing them with blatantly anti-scientific views of gender that contradict the laws of logic, the scientific method, and the universally-held consensus in biology since the Creation of man? I don't know what it's like in your town, but in mine men come to public libraries in dresses and makeup to indoctrinate three-year-olds with picture books about "transgender" kids. Even if the "We're coming for your kids" chant was not STARTED by the freak-os parading through the streets, they voluntarily continued the… Read more

@97XS8N83yrs3Y
While every person should be allowed to have a different opinion, I personally do not think every person should have to follow a strict set of rules in marriage. I think everyone should be allowed to be with who they like. You personally do not have to be with the someone of the same sex but other people should be allowed to have the choice to do so. Imagine not being able to be with someone of the opposite sex. That would be extremely depressing. That is how many members of the lgbtq+ community feel.
@99P3Z46Republican3yrs3Y
its in-humane to have same-sex "marriage" in my opinion because its a marriage so that means the 2 genders will set up plans in the future to have babies and i think marriage isn't right. If the genders are not married than its alright since no one in the future could be affected.
@9BFKG8Q2yrs2Y
It does not make any sense why you would be okay with same sex relationships but not marriage. People make plans for their futures despite the decision to get married or not. Same sex marriage does not negatively affect or harm the future in any way. It is inhumane to deny a couple the option to get married simply because they are the same gender. If you are okay with people of the opposite sex getting married then your opinion should not differ for any other couple.
@lemans34272yrs2Y
It is truly inspiring to see people like you fighting for the rights of others. We all deserve to have equal rights and opportunities regardless of our gender or sexual orientation. It's important to remember that same-sex marriage is not just about love, but about the legal benefits and protections that come with it. Denying someone the ability to marry the person they love is a violation of their basic human rights.
