(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Lately i have been noticing a lot of fuss over gay marriage, so i decided to make a post that lets people put there arguments in action

Feel free to leave your opinion and reasoning here.

love is love you cant control it...so im for gay marriage but if everyone was gay there would be no purpose for the opposite sex..so in moderation is okay for me

Once upon a time black children would have been bullied, and girls too, merely for the way they were born. This was stopped for the sake of equality, and we were successful. The next step is for the children of gay parents, however I don't think that much bullying really goes on in this scenario outside of the US. You lot just need to catch up.

Regarding the "true side of the parent" crap, really, what is that even supposed to mean? You've not made any sort of argument here, you've just made a claim that not only is the mother necessary for a good upbringing but also that all same-sex couples are men..? Try again. This is needless discrimination.



Homosexuality is only okay in moderation? This doesn't make any sense.

The supposed rise in homosexuality is only down to societal acceptance of it. A better way to put it would be that there isn't any larger a number of homosexuals now than there would have been a few hundred years ago, there's merely more acceptance and subsequently more admittance.

If, somehow, every single person on the planet turned homosexual(which I consider near to impossible from a scientific perspective if nothing else) then it's hardly like we haven't got ways of "cheating the system", is it?

I say let them do what they want, they are humans; in the land of the free. Who cares? Let the religious nuts go ape shit for all I care.

People automatically assume that one is narrow minded or ignorant, stupid, bible thumpers etc. if they are against gay marriage. Alright now let us examine this on a somewhat educated level shall we?

Same sex marriage isn't a civil right.

Gays should be treated fairly in society; there's no doubt about that. But please do keep in mind that doesn't automatically follow with a change in the definition of marriage. Marriage is for the purpose of procreation. Most same sex marriage advocates claim that the issue is one of civil rights, and they say that gay marriage is similar to interracial marriage in the past. This is a terribly false analogy that doesn't make any sense.

The major problem I have with the supporters of gay marriage is that they are very young. They are misinformed that it's natural and it's human nature to love what we want to love. Being gay is technically scientifically possible, but if that was even the case only up to about 4% of cases would be because they were just "born that way". This leaves all the others as just wanting to be gay for some odd reason. I would really like to get some answers from people who are gay that weren't born gay. I bet they would just sit there and say..."I don't actually know why..."

Being gay is a personal choice for the most part. You can argue with me all you want about this, but you know it's true regardless where you stand. Being gay isn't something that comes quickly for most people, even most gay men that I've met say that they were looking at girls in high school.

Most people will support gay marriage just because. That's it. They think it's all fine and dandy and no one will get hurt. Once gays start getting married, they will ask for the right to adopt children. Then people will say "What's wrong with that?" I'm sure you wouldn't be saying that if you were the boy or girl with two dads.

The fact is that most people are hypocrites when it comes to this subject. Most people don't want to have gay children, but when they figure out they are gay, they say "Oh it's alright". Don't act like that's true. They would love for that child to get married to a nice and beautiful woman.



Please keep in mind that this is simply my opinion.

Sure, I'm always open to new ideas and bashing down flawed ones.



...which is the problem.

Disallowing gays rights that heterosexuals have is unfair treatment. It couldn't be much more simple.

Nonsense. It is for the purpose of declaring your love for your other half, same sex or opposite, and committing to spend the rest of your life with them for better or worse. If it were truly about procreation then how come straight infertile couples can get married? Exactly. Because it isn't really about procreation at all. For you, it's about keeping it purely for straight couples and you'll make whatever excuses you can to make sure that is the case. Otherwise, I'd like to see your mistreatment extend to infertile straight couples, for the sake of fairness.



It does make sense. Both same-sex couples and interracial couples have been wrongly and unfairly discriminated against when it comes to marriage. Once same-sex marriage is legalised(properly), it'll become the norm much like interracial marriage.



It's called progress. Younger generations tend to develop their own ethics and morals differently from their parents and grandparents, that's how societal values work.



Actually, you are misinformed. Science weighs heavily on the side of homosexuals being just that from birth, meaning that it is a natural occurrence. And even if it weren't, is the computer you're using natural? No, it isn't. Neither are the clothes you're wearing, and yet you refuse to complain about these unnatural parts of our society, do you? Again, you're just making excuses to outlaw same-sex marriage. It doesn't wash.



You've either presented your case poorly or you dragged that number up and out of your ass. If you're referring to people that are "in the closet", can you really blame them when they have to deal with people like you everywhere they go? At school, at work, at a restaurant, even at home the torrents of abuse homosexuals receive is appalling. Even over here in the UK where it's considered normal I'm disappointed by the amount of unfair treatment gays get.



Again, because they felt like they had to in order to be what others, such as yourself, considered to be "normal". Yet again, you're talking complete bollocks. I doubt you've ever even spoken to a homosexual before.

If you're still not getting it, read that last quote. Replace the words "gay" with "straight" and "girls" with "boys". Now see how stupid and ignorant your opinion is.



You really are the typically ignorant homophobe, huh? These points have been refuted decades ago, but I'll go again. *sigh*

People support gay marriage because they support full equality for all people. You are in-fact in opposition of it "just because". The only issue a child could have when being brought up by gay parents is if a malicious, unequal society decides to persecute him/her for it. And this is society's problem, not the gay parents'. And no, this said malicious treatment is no reason to outlaw same-sex adoption, either. Otherwise, back when racism was rife we should have outlawed interracial adoption, huh? No, because that would stop the advance for equality, just like you are trying to do with same-sex adoption right now.

Same-sex parents can be infinitely better than heterosexual parents, just as the opposite can also be true. The fact that you'd like to deny all of those same-sex couples their own child is pathetic. The fact that you'd like to deny all of those children from being adopted by said couples is equally pathetic, especially when taking into consideration how many kids desperately need adopting. It's more than you'd think.



Maybe that's how you feel but not me. I don't give a flying f*ck if a kid I have one day is L, G, B or T. As long as they are honest about their sexuality and they're happy, I'm happy. How you could rate your prejudices higher than your own kids' honesty and happiness is beyond me.



Yep, and it's a terrible one. If you can't refute my post then be intellectually honest and admit that your own ignorant, ill-informed opinion is helping kids to lose potentially great parents and said parents the right to marry and declare their love for one-another.

Alright anybody who says being Gay is a choice is so retarded it's unreal!!!

Why would they choose to be the sexuallity that is discriminated the most for no reason?
Why would they choose to be the sexuallity which has no rights to marry?
Why would they choose to be the sexuallity that isn't able to reproduce?
Why would they choose to be the sexuallity which would possible cause uproar between certain family members or friends?
Why?
Explain.
It's definitely not because they're hipsters.

(I have nothing against homsexuals incase you're wondering, I have lots of friends who are homosexual)

Any form of Homosexual marriage is something that is specifically advised against in the Bible at Romans 1:27 King James Translation "And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet."

Or, in English Standard Version "And the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error."

Thus meaning that those who "burned in their lust one toward another" will have to pay for it eventually.

I'm sorry, are you actually using the bible as a source in this debate? This is a real world issue about real world people, not fairy tales, sky daddies and underground goblins.

Personally i don't understand the concept of marriage, i don't know why anyone let alone Gays and Lesbians would want to get married, that being said if it makes you happy then by all means you should get/be allowed to be married regardless of sexual orientation.
