| Gay People Should Have The Same Rights As Others. |
| Humans are bisexual by nature. Because the morals, traditions, and beliefs that they grow up on determine how they think and feel as adults, they are not one with thier spirit. Everyone has a choice on how they will live their lives. We should all have the same rights as long as there are consenting adults, and they are not hurting anyone, especially children. We have no right to judge what another person gets off to behind closed doors, and believe me, the spectrum of sensuality is very wide, different people like different things. No two people are the same. |

So an invisible man in the sky told you to hate these people? Good luck with that.
BTW, the naked man tied to your radiator wants you to loosen his restraints..... That is...... If
it's ok with the invisible man. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes they should because who you love shouldn't have anything to do with what your rights are |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

I agree with this give gays the rights of others..gays are people to and they have feelings as well
let them be they are not bothering anyone.. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
God gave them the same rights as everybody else, but some who say they "love" God (conditionally,
obviously) have decided they own God's rights and can give them out to whomever they chose or
withhold them from whomever they chose. |

To set one thing straight, I'm straight and a christian, but i still have an open mind. Now i don't
believe that humans are bisexual by nature but gay people are still "people". Bull dog it is people
with your ignorance that give the bible a bad name. The bible does say man shall be with woman, but
if you truly understood the ways of god you would realize that he is forgiving and he made rules the
way parents do. He expected them to be broken. I understand you saying be gay isn't biblical but how
is it unethical? You also say they should be outlawed, well most of them are. They are outlawed by
society, or at least the ignorant part of society which seems to be the majority of it. You also say
you hate seeing gay people in society well deal with it. Being gay didn't just happen recently it
has been around as long as being straight has been around. Now society is just more accepting of it.
I have to deal with seeing people like you in society and i dint want to but i deal with it. |

They are still humans |
| |
|
| |
|
| |

|
|
Of coarse.
They are human but they are just gay.
Why not? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Gays are citizens, so they should have equal rights. Period. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Rights are inalienable to all people. It must not be withheld from a minority. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Correct, we don't want special rights or be placed above other people, we just the exact same equal
rights that everyone else is allowed. Is that too much too ask? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Frankly considering the population problems we have on this planet I think gay couples should be
getting the tax break not people who have kids. |
| |

I have a friend who's gay and he is a perfectly normal person who deserves perfectly normal
treatment. Why is homosexuality viewed as bad anyway? I mean, I know it's in the bible, but what did
god have against gay people? |
| |
|
| |
|

Human beings are not the only animals that can be homosexual, there is a book, I think it is called
Exubernce in Nature, or something along those lines, and it is all about the homosexuality in
animals, there is a type of dolphin that are all bisexual, AND have gay sex, through their blow
hole, rather simular to a bl*w job i think.
Some oranatans are bi sexual.
So if it occurs in Nature, I would assume that it is, in fact, natural,
I will try to find the name of the book, so those who will ask me to reference will get it, although
they will not believe it anyway |

In my opinion there should be no doubt concerning gays and their rights.
They are humans and should be treated fairly and equally. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

I think that everyone should have the same rights! (provided they don't try to take away the rights
of others without due process of law).
Here are my reasons for why homosexuals should have the same rights as everyone else:
-The only argument against is religious. Yes, there are some religious people who'll try to throw
science into their argument, but I've yet to see a scientific argument against homosexuality that
doesn't have gaping holes in it. Also, Separation of Church and State, anyone? It's unconstitutional
to force one group's religious doctrine on everyone else.
-"All men are created equal". Yes, you could argue that homosexuals choose, which means it happens
after being created. I say you're wrong. Being gay instead of straight is like being black instead
of white, or female instead of male. You can't control it. Even if it WAS a choice (which it ain't)
then you STILL shouldn't discriminate against people for it! Which relgion you follow is a choice.
What cloths you wear is a choice. Does that mean we should discriminate against someone for choosing
to be in a minority? If they're not harming anyone, then why should it be a problem? Why should they
be denied their rights?
-Marriage as a right: Marriage existed long before Christianity, people. In several cultures men
could marry men and women could marry women. Marriage doesn't mean the Christian definition of
it.
-What's the problem? Homosexuals aren't harming anyone! If it's consensual between consenting human
adults, then why should you have a problem? And if you think it's gross, well, then don't stick your
nose into their business! If it disgusts you, then by all means avoid homosexuals, but you think
it's gross doesn't mean you should try to make them miserable.
-Define 'moral'. Moral is merely a set of social standards that everyone's expected to follow,
basically taboos and things that are encouraged. So what's moral or immoral for you may not
necessarily be immoral or moral for another person who's not in your group.
-On the argument that homosexuality is unnatural: It isn't. Animals engage in homosexuality. It's in
your genes. Plus, if you say ban something because it's unnatural, then you're a hypocrite. That
computer you're typing on is unnatural. The Internet is unnatural. So is contacts/ glasses, cars,
reinforced steel, asphalt, most plastics, etc.
I feel like I'm forgetting something... If there's an argument against homosexuality that I haven't
mentioned or you have an issue with, be civil about it, please. |

If anyone that is against it has anything else to say other than "God says no" get back to me. I
will listen to anything logical. If it mentions God or the bible, don't waste my time.
:D |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Definitely! How are they that different anyway? I predict another "movement" like the women's
movement and the civil rights movement! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

I'm all for equality. Honestly, even if god says homosexuality is a sin, they still deserve equal
rights as citizens of the USA. |

What the hello operator? I am sick of people putting the bible with everything. Not everyone is
Christian in the U.S you know. So don't put religion with the law and what is right. If a guy likes
another guy, then whats the problem? They love each other, doesn't make them a spawn of Satan does
it? Just stop this. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Every single person on this Earth is equal.
Enough Said. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Being gay is just the same as being Male of Female. It's the makeup of your genes and it's 'just the
way you're wired'. Government does not make something that is religiously wrong unlawful and
homosexuality should be no exception. It doesn't hurt anyone, therefore there's nothing wrong with
it. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

I am of course for equality. But a way i never looked at it before was that religious books are not
very sexual books. I mean you might have a couple no gay sex hear, no gay sex there. But there's
nothing about SO MUCH sexual deviation that would surely be viewed as immoral or "unnatural." my
point is that the gay sex-religion tie is so paperthin. Religion has hardly anything to do with
sexuality. In fact, having went to a catholic school, the only thing i remember religious about sex
ed was that it was an intensely religious experience.
There was no question about gays were gays and straights were straights. But except for defining
the difference between gay sex and straight sex, homosexuality was never discussed in sex ed.
Vaginal sex was what was usually discussed with lots of anatomical explanation of blood rushing and
such. I'm pretty sure if Jesus knew yall would throw out all the love and peace parts of the bible
because of a line or two in the beginning he'd give santa a call and yall would not be getting
presents for at least sixty-nine generations of Christmases.
Pretty light compared to the modern-stoning hateful people are giving to homosexuality. |

Of course. Without a question =] |

There's this funny little thing called equality, it's one of the core values that this country was
founded upon. The founding fathers didn't say "white, land-owning men are created equal", they said
"all men are created equal".
If that gets your religious undies in a bunch, then the problem lies with you, not with the basis of
this country. |

Gay people should have the same rights for several obvious reasons:
1. A person is free to choose the way he or she lives his or her life, and no one has the right -
much less the authority - to contest that.
2. A gay person can be just as friendly or ethical as a straight person; being gay does not mean you
have impaired moral judgement and are therefore more like to commit mass murder or something else
atrocious.
3. It is unconstitutional - there, I said it - to claim that someone who is gay does not
deserve the same rights as people who are straight; "all men are created equal."
It is for these reasons that I stand in affirmation of this proposition. |
| |
|

I think they have they same rights as a straight person.
There in love who cares. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

Although I doubt that humans are bisexual by nature, I think people should have same rights no
matter their sexuality. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

Gays should have the same rights and privileges as any other member of society, but these rights
must be granted in such a way that religious groups and churches that have differing opinions on the
issue are not penalized by the law. This means that while same-sex couples should be permitted to
marry within the context of a civil union, government must make sure that denominations which are
not willing to perform such ceremonies, or permit them to take place in their church halls, are not
dragged before a human rights tribunal and do not have their charitable status revoked for engaging
in what may be perceived as a discriminatory practice. In other words, government needs to include a
"notwithstanding" clause in any such legislation, which churches may then invoke.
If government permits same-sex civil unions, they should also allow gay couples to adopt children.
Additionally, there should be no discrimination against people of any sexual orientation if they
wish to serve in the military, attend any school or university or wish to apply for a job. |

I'm AGAINST marriage being a 'right'. Other than that, what's the issue? |

I will keep religion out of my comment regarding a gay and lesbian debate. I believe that all
humans who live by the social norm, not the Biblical norm, should be treated fairly and just. Any
person who is not labeled a sociopath has a right to dignity and that dignity comes by all men are
created (and should be treated) equal. A gay person may not look appealing to a certain lifestyle,
just like a person of color or with a handicap may not look appealing to a certain lifestyle.
Equally so, all of these people are human beings and prejudiceness should have went out along time
ago. Unfortunately, it took people of color and people with handicaps along time to gain respect
from the then 'social norms' and it will take the gay and lesbians just as long.
Each person was granted their own opinion. Each person is able to tolerate certain things. But why
should it be ok for someone who doesn't 'like' a lifestyle, able to judge the rights that those
people should endure. There are a lot of things I see going on in todays world that I don't 'agree
with or like' but it doesn't give me the right to not treat them equally or with dignity.
For those against giving gay and lesbians the right to civil unions... How does their inheritance,
their health decisions, their mortgage payments, their insurance, their commitment to love one
another... Effect you? None of the 'rights' that they are wanting effect you in any way, other
than from a Biblical standpoint. And with all the different religions in the world... Who says
your is right? Ok, so I added a Lil bit of religion... Sorry.
BTW, bulldog... I feel sorry for you and your offspring if you choose to raise them with such hate.
God teaches us to Love, but your words, are pure hate and unacceptance. Weren't you taught to
'Hate the Sin, Love the Sinner"? |

Of course they should have the same rights as others! First of all you can look at this in so many
different ways.
In the legal sense:
-they pay the same taxes
-attend the same schools,
-support your economy with their occupations
-abide by the same laws as you
..so why should what they do in the confines of their bedroom affect their rights?
In the religious sense:
There is a separation of Church and State. Whatever is written in one's particular bible should have
absolutely no say in the rights a citizen is given according to one of our fundamental principals of
Western Civilization. If my religious book says straight people are immoral and unethical, that
should in no way supersede the democratic system we have worked so hard to build. |

No one has the right to do a wicked thing.
Why is it that the tolerant, anti-bigots on the green side are so INTOLERANT AND BIGOTED when it
comes to giving "animal-lovers" the SAME RIGHTS they are seeking for homosexuals?
Those who support perversion 1 have no good reason to oppose perversion 2. |
| |
|
| |

They already do have most. The rest should be decided by the State's sovereignty. |

I agree with the views stated below. Gay people should lose pretty much all their rights, what they
do is in clear defiance of God. They are sick and perverted. They should lose rights to vote,
property, employment and I think they should be caged like the foul, disgusting animals they are.
Sodomy laws need to be put back across all of the States and anyone who comes out as being gay
should either be locked away, face huge fines or face therapy. Anyone who supports homosexuals like
the vast majority on this site will also be punished when they die. They are HELL BOUND, what they
do is of sin and will be punished for it on judgement day. |

God forbids gay marriage so no |

According to my point of view, this should not be happened. Gay people should have their different
community as well as the different constitutions. How could they possess the same rules and
regulations when they are doing nothing but disobeying the natural rules? I am not telling this
because I have any personal grievance to this people; but what science says that same sex marriage
or same sex orientation is not at all healthy. It will cause a lot more harm to the society. These
gay people should be made to understand that straight relationship is what we call “preciousâ€.
Being a gay is nothing but a mental blockage which is harming the society as well as the whole
mankind. So if they are being praised or encouraged, they would rather start to take it an advantage
and start to misuse this feature in future. |

I am not here to be judgemental of anyone. What you do behind closed doors is your business you
will have to answer to God about that. There is no man without sin. But dont make society feel they
have to accept the sin as something just. It's not right, so don't infringe it upon our laws that
were all originally based on God. And keep it behind closed doors if you don't want people being
judgemental. Ex. My aunt went to Disneyworld with her children and did not realize it was "gay and
lesbian week" what an experience to have to explain why two men are kissing and holding hands to
little children, all week long...(Also don't agree with heterosexuals getting it on in public
either) It is the devils wish to destroy the human family. This is just one of his ways. I am not
blaming the gay person, I really feel some people may have been born that way, others may have been
abused. It is not something God put in to you. It is born of man's free will and the consequences
of sin. (Hormones in food, chemical products, genetic defects from the environment, or who knows
what else gone wrong, all products of evil and man's sin. |

Gay people should not be allowed to walk the streets. It is clearly written in the Bible that
homosexuality is a sin. Any gay caught practicing their sick ways in public should be put in jail.
They should not be allowed to get married, have kids, apply for loans together, or even be seen
together in society. Gay people are nothing but freaks of nature and if they want to do that stuff
behind closed doors, then do it there. You have no right to share your sick ideas with the decent
people in the world. I agree with Bulldog 100%. No one is afraid of a gay men or gay wemen. I just
don’t want to share my society with such trash. I think it is sick to think that if I go into a
public rest room that there is the possibility that an AIDS infested gay used the same toilet. SICK.
I am not a racist, but I will admit that I hate gay people. I think they should create an island,
far away from normal society and put all gay people on it. That way they can do their sick acts far
away from normal people and not be such a menace to society. |
| |

NO! NO ONE IS BORN GAY! Gay people experiment and relies what's best for them. That's fine. I don't
care if a man is with another man, I think a rabi should be able to tell a couple "no i don't want
to marry a gay couple." If the Rabi makes that decision then he should be viewed as bias or get sued
for making his own decision. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Gays should have rights, but not all straights are allowed. An example is marriage- marriage is
meant for a man and a woman, not for two men. If they want to create their own ritual or ceremony to
join two gays, they have that right. But marriage is for a man and a woman, it should not be
offered to gays. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I do not believe that gay people should have the same rights as other. As the matter of fact, I
believe that they should be stripped of most of their rights. Their sexual acts are clearly a
violation of the Bible. God did not intend for us to be gay. That is why he created two different
sexes. Being gay is immoral, unethical, degrading, and sick in every nature. Homosexuality should be
outlawed. It is true that when they are behind closed doors, they can whatever they want. But,
let’s keep it there. I hate seeing gay people in society. I can't believe people actually admit
that they are gay. Therefore, my answer is no. All homosexuals should lose certain right (especially
the right to get married and have children). |
