You Can Be Gay
I believe in an individual's rights as an American. If you want to run around proclaiming you sexuality to the world, go right ahead. However, I do believe that marriage is defined as one man and one woman. You can be gay or lesbian or whatever, but you cannot get married.

I think most people have a little gay in them. I really wish people who stop bringing up church. Because i always thought that people who go to church learn to love all no matter what. I feel those who true hate gays just because need to really look done into themselves and see what they hate about themselves

DTigers7is right for the very reason that married people are husband and wife or wife and husband.

Come on Jake. Most of the people on this site are atheists. Ya I agree with you, but your argument is going to be destroyed because there are so many people that don't care about what the longest lasting book (Bible) in the world has to say. Too bad too. I hear it made it on the best-seller list again. What is that now? 20 years in a row? Maybe it was more like 30.

You shouldn't be able to. It's just wrong
it's a sin and shouldn't be aloud.

 Hey thank you very much for the support, but if you're going to make a valid argument, you should probably avoid saying things like: "You shouldn't be able to," and, "It's a sin," because people will not take your comments seriously. But again, thank you for the support.

So you believe in a person's right to their sexuality but say that they are not equal to others and can't be married. Sorry but my U.S. History reads that all are created equal and if the law allows 1 to be married it should allow all to do so.

 Well then I guess we should shut all the prisons down and let prisoners roam free because imprisoning them is an acknowledgement of inequality. Is that what you want? Because, if not, you're a hypocrite./

Not in church you can't. Marriage is a religious act of declaration to follow God's ways for relationships. There is always civil unions for those wishing only for a mere legality of recognition from the State.
These could be better defined as different types of marriage of you will....in a way.

I think that a church should be allowed to make their own decisions in and within their own congregation. Legally however I think that two competent consenting adults should be able to get married if they wish. They just might have to go to a different church or to the courthouse.

 I agree. Gays pay the same taxes as non-gays do. Those taxes entitle the citizen to every right the US offers, including the right to get married.

No. Sexual/physical relationships should only be between one man and one woman.

I do not understand why it upsets so many people,
if its against 'god' then fine, and if he is forgive as 'they' say, then the gays will be forgiven, if not then the gays will 'burn' in hell, but then they can all be together.
But for society, what the hell is the problem?
If it upsets you do not watch, we see girls holding hands all the time, and we just assume that they are just friends, two guys hold hands and "OH MY GOODNESS' they're gay, how awful...
Get over it

we cannot control who we love, biggie

Yeah anyone can be gay if they like
and they CAN get married if they like (or civil partnership) in England
it shouldn't be restricted by gender issues

They can and so they should be able to, just the same as anyone else. No one says you have to like it but why is it so important to you to be so against 2 adults who love each other to marry, it has no affect on you whatsoever.

There is no rational reason to deny gay marriage. We have something in this country called EQUALITY. Ever hear of it? Two consenting adults should be able to be married if they wish to be and whichever genders those people happen to be is irrelevant.

Please explain on what basis, in the SECULAR SOCIETY that we have, you can deny gay marriage?

 Marriage is defined as, and I quote: "State of being HUSBAND AND WIFE; "a long and happy marriage"; "God bless this union". Husband and wife. Not husband and husband, not wife and wife. Husband and wife. That is how I can deny gay Marriage.

Um, yeah we can. In my state we can. Oh and by the way, thanks for letting me be gay, i really appreciate that.

Marriage is something that is constantly being redefined. Marriage out of love is a relatively new experience. In certain parts of the world, marriage means different things and brings in different elements. As our culture changes, so to the definitions of our cultural traditions.

This is what drives me nuts about the US. On most things the state is to take a back seat in our lives, that's part of our culture and heritage. However, only certain areas of our lives, but in the bedroom, and with relationships it isn't true. No seatbelt laws for personal liberties, but gays: Don't you get married.

By the way, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has survived so far; in fact it's been a major yawn.

 So, I'm assuming you're a homosexual. I'm just curious, do you believe that being homosexual is a state of mind?
