I'm totally in for it, its just the (stupid) Church that is preventing gay couples of getting married.
Gayness is natural.
what about 2 male dogs *F-word*ing eachother?

I suggest you delve deeper into understanding issues like this if you plan on ever becoming an accepted member of society, kiddo. No one likes a callous nazi.

Mr.Altosax June 21st, 2007 7:00 AM

I support it.

1. I believe that sexual orientation isn't a choice.

2. Love is not bound by gender, race, age, or religion. Saying that two men cannot love each other is like saying that a black man and a white woman can't be together. Besides, usually gay couples love each other a lot more than straight couples do...just look at the divorce rates.

healberry June 21st, 2007 1:46 PM

I remember reading an article saying that sexual orientation is defined genetically and in fact scientists managed to make lesbian fruit flies simply by switching one gene.

I'm not gay, but I'm just throwing that out there for people to think about. If anyone wants to link to that article, I think I can find it. I tagged undecided in the poll, because I don't understand gay marriage at all. In fact, I barely understand regular marriage. XD

Linoone June 21st, 2007 1:52 PM

I'm for it, not just cause I'm gay but cause I think marriage should be for love, cause really, what's the difference between a man and a woman?, physical traits, voice, and that's preety much it
*looks at hungry homer's post* thanks, I was about to point out that the typical thread idiot hadn't showed up yet buut you solved the problem, give him a medal people

goiterboy June 22nd, 2007 2:08 AM

I wa just saying what i thought was right just because you people are differently minded then me, you had no reason to say what you did.

Forest Grovyle June 22nd, 2007 2:16 AM

Yes, but there are ways of expressing it. There is no need to use such insulting phrases as "The less gays in the world the better" - this is deliberately offensive and borders on flaming. If you have an opinion, it's fine to express it, but you have to keep in mind how it will appear to other people.

Linoone, please don't fuel the fire by using the word "idiot" - if you see a post that needs reporting, please press the report button instead. Thanks :)

Hungry Homer, I suggest you rethink your wording in future. Now let's get back on topic.

I totally agree with you.

Tell me, out of pure curiosity, at what point in time did you get it ingrained in your mind that the Church is inherently idiotic? Methinks the religious side of this issue is often misconstrued or misinterpreted. People tend to get the idea that the Christian God has predetermined that every gay person will go to Hell.

Of course homosexuality is a natural anomaly in the human populace, no one but the radical right denies that. Christianity teaches to accept and love all people. The laws of Leviticus say that homosexual encounters are an abomination of God...not simply being a homosexual.

To put it simply, God loves gay people, but he doesn't approve of...you know...gay sex...>_>

This is why I support civil unions, but not religious marriages.

you insulted, I insulted back, I don't have a problem with your views, you can be against it, it's perfectly fine, but you know what they say, violence generates violence, and thanks FG, will do

and for the topic, yeah, religious controversy has been the most important, but as a gay, and a god beleiver I find many religious ideas to have little or no logic, that's why I completely ignore what the church says and prefer to listen to what my heart says, after allit's not like I can stop being gay, that's like saying "hey, I'm gonna start breathing with my eyes!!" not that I want to change anyway

Cross June 24th, 2007 11:44 AM

I'm not for gay marriage. I'm not even for gay people. It's really creepy when your out somewhere, and this guy of the same sex starts looking at you a whole bunch. ughuhu. x(
I do mind it, but it's their choice and I can't do a thing about it.

G-Klav June 29th, 2007 2:32 PM

Well, if two people want to marry, let them, sexual preferences shouldn't be an obstacle.

goofy_charizard_girl July 2nd, 2007 9:24 AM

I am for gay marrige. I don't see any reason why two ppl shouldn't get married if they love eachother even if they are two women or two men. It is their decision after all.

Merzbau July 2nd, 2007 11:50 AM

This fag is all for marriage to anyone he wants to marry.

I didn't choose it, why should someone I don't even know tell me that I chose it and should choose differently, and not allow me to be with someone I love just because they're not for the idea?

The President's administration, with his Federal Marriage Amendment, need to look at our Constitution.

You know, something about the "separation of church and state".

RoyxLilina4ever July 5th, 2007 2:00 PM

I'm for it.

I see marriage as a bond between two that love each other dearly.

Sakurah July 5th, 2007 2:05 PM

I vote for, because love has nothing to do with the gender, race, or age you are. If you love someone, then you love someone. Plus, I hate how certain people [Note how I said certain, not all] say that gay people's marriage is a disgrace. Hello! There's a lot of straight people who makes weddings look just as bad. Saying no [Once again, what I think] to gay marriage is a kind of new form of racism. Because you're hating a certain group of people.

But that's just me.

Shiny July 5th, 2007 11:30 PM

Well I'm for it as I'm gay ^^ hence my username =P

[email protected] July 6th, 2007 11:33 AM

...Not for it or against it...
I mean, I'm not "oooo gays gays gays! Let's go! ooooo!" , but I don't hate them.

Rad_Riardos July 6th, 2007 11:36 AM

I'm against gays all together. I shudder just by the thought...

Weatherman, Kiyoshi July 6th, 2007 11:45 AM

I don't really care what the people do.
(As long if it's not my problem)

I know some people are aganist it and some people are totally for it, and some people are like "Um... your asking me?".

As for me, I'm one of those "Um, your asking me?" people. athough, some of those people who are against it get annoying about thier bashing. God people, just accept the fact that some people are gay so I don't have to hear more about your usless attempts! sheesh...

But if I HAD to pick, I would support it.
One of my 2 top two friends, It's PAINFULLY obvious that he going to be gay.
I would support it, Because I don't want to dis my friend.

Spoiler:
The only reason why i'm Undecided is because gays used to scare me when I was little. Now, I see they barely getting any rights, I have to think...


Spoiler:
I'm straight personally, if anyone asks.

diamondpearl876 July 6th, 2007 1:31 PM

I just saw a site about someone being beaten to death for being gay. ;\ That's really pathetic, and it's sad to see what some humans do to each other.

Anyway, I'm for it. I agree with whoever said their bashing against it gets annoying. I hear at least one stupid joke about gay people every day.

Bonkenhi July 6th, 2007 1:49 PM

I don't care. They can if they want.

It makes me sad how so many people can't accept the fact that there are other people that are different from us.

I may not think that "gay" marrage is the way God intended, but I'm defenetly not homophobic!

Just a question what did gays ever do to you?

Rai July 7th, 2007 8:34 AM

I can understand if some people feel a little weird about the topic... but there is no reason to be completely against gays =\

A few years ago I used to not understand gay people that much... and then I recently realized that I'm gay! It's something no one can control; it's natural.
