My view point on this on this issue, is that gays are homosexual.....
Which assumes they take it up the ***.
America is a free country and that's exactly why I believe gays should not be able to marry!
That's all I gotta' say 'bout that.

Arucard, I thought I'd help with your understanding the desire for homosexuals to get married.
See one of their main reasons is for the rights marriage gives a couple. Right now, if a man and woman are married, and the husband dies, all property legally belongs to the wife. She receives life insurance, social security benifits, investments, everything. However, if a homosexual couple live together for 50 years sharing everything EXCEPT a marriage license, if one dies, the other gets absolutely nothing. Whether anyone likes it or not, those two loved each other just as much as the hetero couple, but basically society/government tells them their relationship didn't mean as much as the hetero couple's did.
Hope that explains where they are coming form on that subject.
Even as a republican, i can understand their desire to be legally joined.
lol Right, Dubya. You obviously don't know what free is in this country, gtfo.
I never meant I didn't understand why they wouldn't want to be married I just meant why is it so important, I mean look at the couple in massachussetts that were the first to be legally wed, they split. Yes, splitting is normal and theres a high rate of divorce but thats a little rediculous when you are pretty much a foundation of a legal change. It's like a person wanting an abortion, being allowed to legally get the abortion and then never going through with it. That's pretty outrageous just like you assume "She receives life insurance, social security benifits, investments, everything." is a good reason for a homosexual "couple" to get hitched. Your assumption is just about as strong as my assumption and that is just for them to get another foot in the door, it is another way for them to force themselves into the world/be recognized and have everyone be tolerant of them. Honestly I don't really disagree with them being allowed to marry, BUT, i'd definately say there should be conditions such as I think only civil authorities should wed them, not religious(christian), it's oxymoronic. I just personally don't see their lifestyle as being natural, then you can say "well it's love", but you'd be JOOOOKING if you said that's ALL there is to it. And you can bash me all you want because you assume I'm just following my religion but believe it or not I come to these conclusions myself. I don't need people to agree with me that homosexuals should even be disliked because of the choices they make, not even necessarily who they are, maybe who they are being, thats not the point of this thread whatsoever. What I'd like to be agreed with is that their lifestyle IS a choice.
AlucardX, you said ""First of all, I tend to hear 90% of the time that gays are "born gay" and I don't like how that is used as an excuse lol. Scientifically it has NOT been proven to be true so it is dismissed as far as anyone knows.""
aight, tell me this.
can you scientifically PROVE that you love someone? that you care for someone?
and also, have they scientifically proven that they are NOT born that way? i dont think so.
all i have to say.
Are you serious? Ok, visiting a sick person in a hospital is definately important, but is it really true that you can't visit as a friend, do you know how many people visit and aren't married to that person or even blood related lol. And why would someone be simply thrown out of a house and onto a street spontaneously for not being married?
Do you know what defines your sexuality? see the keyword in there? Do you honestly think homosexual people love the same sex and never have "sex" with them. kthnxbye! You don't even understand what I was talking about obviously, were you born loving a specific girl? Love has nothing to do with sex.Quote:

Not sure if that exactly proves it, but it sure doesnt point to a gene and more along lines of a molded behavior.
News - Latest Scientific Research: Those Struggling with Homosexuality Can Be Set Free - Center for Reclaiming America That was an interesting read too (I'm not exactly sure how valid any of this stuff is but it makes alot more sense than what I read that was pro-"born that way"
I love it when people use the "They don't need marriage." argument, it amuses me. Nobody "needs" marriage, technically and foremost.
Secondly, if gays want to marry, what the hell kind of difference does it make to ANYONE else other than the two getting married? It doesn't have any impact on your life whatsoever. If they want to marry, let them marry. The only thing more pointless than the idea of marriage is the idea of marriage being for straight people only. It's a legal process, that's all it is. If love can clearly happen homosexually, what difference does it make who wants to marry who?
If you don't like the ideas of gays marrying, don't pay attention. There's no justifiable reason to make it illegal.
Furthermore, why would you NOT want a greater single straight female to single straight male ratio? If a man would rather marry another man, than a hot girl, let him! More for the straight guys.
-Ripe
No.
I'm talking in terms of larger problems. Sure, you can visit a sick friend, but if someone is seriously ill, only certain people are allowed to visit, and a spouse is one of those people.
And as for being thrown out, imagine a gay couple living together. But one day, they suddenly decide it's time to split up. Normally, all that would be needed is a divorce.
In an unmarried couple, only one person owns the house. Sure maybe they both help pay for it, but when it comes right down to it, one person is the owner.
In the event of a split, the person that owns the house could simply throw the other out on the street. In a married couple, this doesn't happen.
Marriage is just a piece of paper saying your binded to the person until death do ya part.
I had a debate with Dick Cheney's daughter about this one time.
The definition of "marriage" is man and woman.
And who knows how awful this country would be if we just go around changing words for queers!
And, for reals, is there any thing else that us as a nation could debate more about then the meaning of a word? I thought for a while about this one, and I still haven't come up with anything.
i don't really care about it, let them do what they want, i don't have any problems with it:) as long as they don't kiss in public but same goes for hetero's, just don't like to watch others kissing, especially if they do it with sound;)
sure i don't feel comfortable if i knew that there was a lesbian in the girlsroom but that's normal i think:)
@Advocators of "free"
FREEDOM IS NOT FREE
Secondly, noting I live.... 3... no four blocks from the Castro, you can guess what I think about gay marriage. And, let Alucard say his oppinion, he deserves a chance to voice it. Everyone has oppinions.
Let alone if you agree with it or not.
arg i remember when i had to do debate on abortion, chose the side against it. my stupid @$$ teacher was telling the other team everything to say i was like wdf are u doing???ur da teacher!! that beitch knew i'm smart so she had to tell other team what to do.anyways,then other team said what if u get pregnant from being *****?(teacher told em dat) then i said stuff that made em all feel dum and a quote from teacher was"during the week of embryonic stage a baby is not alive"-i think that was stupid as hell and she was just brainwashing the other students to think what she thought was right and that sheit wasn't true coz once life is conceeded it is alive and the other students actually believed her coz she's da "teacher".....anyways i sat back down and let some1 else have a turn and the dumb@$$ other team all what they brought up in the debate was what if u get ***** and got pregnant n u can't go throught school so u need abortion(they did this constantly)? i was gonna say lotta sheit to make em feel stupid but i just kept my mouth shut for rest of debate and anyways that whole gay marriage thing,i'm against it(i have my reasons)
Bounty, might I ask, your about 16 right? (same as me)
this is a bad topic to talk about. Offtopic: Noah your avatar is hilarious.
True, oh well just let it die. -_-
I think for the most part it is okay but what scares me is the cross-dressing.
Other than that I am fine though.
Please tell me what you didn't need to know?
I FIND THIS ABSOLUTLY DISGUESTING THAT PEOPLE CAN'T EVEN HANDLE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS SOMEONE SAYING THAT THEY ARE GAY.
JUST DISGUESTING.
Ok, this has gone FAR ENOUGH.
DO YOU CHOSE WHO YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON? DO YOU CHOSE WHO YOUR HEART FALLS FOR? DO YOU CHOSE WHO YOU HATE, WHO YOU LOVE?
NO
YES, YOU CAN DECIDE ON WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH THOSE FEELINGS, YOU CAN PICK ON HOW YOU WILL ACT ON THEM, BUT TRUTH IS THAT YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR TRUE FEELINGS.
Yes, some people become gay through sexual abuse. Theres that, but there are those that have had perfectly normal lives and they are gay.
AND I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THE AROGANCE AND DISREGUARD OF OUR CONSTITUTION.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO AGREE WITH THEM, BUT THAT DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR A LAW, END OF STORY. WE ARE ALL FREE TO PRACTICE WHAT EVER BELIEFS WE WANT, AND YOU CAN NOT FORCE YOUR OWN BELIEF AND OPINIONS ONTO THOSE AROUND YOU.
IT IS DISCRIMITORY, UN-AMERICAN, AND BREAKS THE HIGHEST FORM OF US LAW.
DON'T LIKE IT? THEN MOVE TO SOME OTHER COUNTRY.
YOU PEOPLE DISGUEST ME. NO WHERE ELSE HAVE I SEEN SUCH IGNORANT SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS.
DISCRIMINATION IS WRONG, PIRIOD. END OF STORY.
GET OVER YOURSELF AND YOUR OWN INSECURTYS, AND STOP BEING SO INTERESTED IN WHAT PEOPLE DO IN THIER PRIVATE TIME, OR ARE YOU SOME KIND OF PEEPING-TOM?
GET OVER YOURSELF GOD DAMMIT.
Hmm... I never knew he said that he is sick of people telling him they are born like that. HOW THE BLOODY HELL WOULD YOU KNOW? 200,000 people don't consqire into saying that they are born gay, they are. Accept it and figure out a new moral ground or be ignorant and hide the truth or the though of that being the truth and be a ignorant American which is the reason most of the world hates this country.
I do not understand how most of the world is okay with Gay Marriage but Americans cannot be. They left EU so they could have freedom of religion, but when it comes to something more personal those people in the same area close the bloody doors.
FabianN Probably wrote the best of what most of us are thinking.
PS: Marriage is suppose to be the uniting of two souls to be together for ever. It never stated that it was suppose to be a male and female, hell for a while they where allowed some time ago. Marriage is something that is for every one, to take away ones ability to get married is like taking away the freedom to love who they want to. Now if you do consider yourself an American and protect the rights of others, think about that. Don't just blow it off like you do all the other ****ing things people say. You arn't doing a debate you are picking and choosing what you listen to like a regular person, this is in no way a real debate.
