Do you support same-sex marriage??

[agent A]

So the surpreme court is soon going to make a decision as to whether or not same-sex couples should get married

I was wondering what other members think

My opinion is this, considering i have several gay friends at school

There is no real difference between a gay and a straight person, just what gender they are attracted to

They have the same feelings and lives as everyone else, they are just as much law abiding citizens of our country as everyone else, and they should be given the same rights and protections as everyone else

Its their lives, they should be allowed to marry their partners if they chose

And for the religious members, as the mother monster would say, god makes no mistakes

How does everyone else stand on this? At least vote please

 

[Mëluzynn]

Can't vote, I support civil gay marriage. I don't support religious gay marriage.

So I can't vote just yes or no...lol

 

[fleurdejoo]

I support my gay brothers and sisters. In my opinion this is no different then telling African Americans they couldn't vote.

It's horribly wrong.

Love is always right!

Yes!!! And i believe that if someone is gay, they were born gay

But people cant tell if a baby is gay or not

Is someone really gonna reject their baby just because they grow up to identify themselves as gay? I surely would not

And a baby is born free of any hatred or homophobia, a baby doesnt know or care who is giving it love and care

So why do some people grow up hateful? Its society, and america was originally made by people looking to live independent lives but then they created one of the last countries to end slavery and still has a long way to go before its completely fulfilling of its original ideals

And mel, civil or religious its still marriage so i think u can still vote

Marriage is a government institution, not a religious one, same sex marriage should be allowed.

Dont newly wedded hetero couples still have to go to court to finalize their marriage even if they wed in the church??

 

[Paradoxica]

If you believe in freedom it means freedom for everyone, whether or not you agree with what that person uses their freedom for.

 

[Sticky]

Yes I do. My dad is a minister and I hope he gets to do one some day.

 

[Plex]

I believe that yes, gays should be allowed to marry who they choose. To me it's no different than straight couples getting married..

Yes, that's why I said that marriage is a government institution, not a religious one.

Ok, so I agree with that. And if it's only about civil marriage, I've finally voted yes

 

[lancaster1313]

I think that it can help alot of people to be honest.

Perhaps when people feel like they are accepted, they can actually live their lives without fear of what others will think.

It may also keep false heterosexual marriages from happening. Many gay people will not feel the need to be in the closet, destroying their own lives and the lives of the spouses that they feel pressured to marry.

 

[Mime454]

I don't think that the government should be involved with marriage at all.

 

[sinensispsyched]

I have two PAIRS of same same-sex couples within my family, and I support their marriages by every way possible.

Very well said, nothing much I could add to those veiws...

 

[Mëluzynn]

Something like PACS doesn't exist in US ?

 

[agent A]

Well ct, ny, ma, and soon me and md allow same sex marriage

I think there is more of a tolerance for same sex couples in new england than in some other states, or at least that what ive heard

Who says they wed in a church? I was married by the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

You wonder about some strange things at your age Alex. I don't care what two consenting adults do as long as they don't bother me while doing it.

I got my license to carry and my marriage license the same day at city hall here.

Kentucky wedding.
