I too voted illegal. I hate the lifestyle, but NOT the person in the lifestyle.Quote:

I support gay and lesbian marriage.
Marriage is defined in the dictionary as a spirtual bond between a man and a woman, but marriage has another meaning: to connect by way of love.
If two people love each other, through and through, then I have nothing against marriage.
I voted for legal.
Hate is a very strong word.Quote:

Just out of curiousity, what do you consider to be the "lifestyle"? Like...what constitutes that lifestyle? *stereotype warning*
Parading around with pink triangle and rainbows or something?
Now that's true, though I'm heterosexual.Quote:

EDIT: I'm not saying I'd support it though, since my religion prohibits it completely, but I'm not going to rally against it or anything like that.

To put it lightly, engaging in relations with somebody of the same gender like a married, straight couple would have.
Marriage is between a man and a woman. That is all I will say.

lol...you okay, Suki? :confused:

My viewpoint is similar to la_reina. Though I'm not entirely sure whether I voted for or against when I originally voted.
However if I were to vote again I'd probably say against.
Before anyone rips my head off, let me explain myself?
I have many gay/lesbian/bi friends. And if they asked me, I would attend their wedding out of friendship.
Though my religion tells me that same sex relationships are wrong, it also tells me to show love towards all, and I intend to do nothing but that. I however do not condone homosexual relationships. Firs tthing I told me friends when they told me they were gay/lesbian/bi was that I believe that it was a sin, and I hoped they'd change their mind. (Don't start with me on the whole 'it's not a choice' thing seriously 9_9 )
Anyway, that is my standpoint on this whole thing =P
Okay, now you can commence with the ripping off of the heads and stuff.
:p XD I was just quoting the Supreme one.... :idiot:Quote:

I'm not ripping off your head Ravoc. ;)
In my way of thinking, you can dislike the act but not dislike the person, I think someone in this thread already said that. My religion also says gay marriage is wrong, and I myself believe it should be illegal. But that doesn't mean I would point fingers at a gay couple and say "I hate you." It does no good to do that, only hurt. This is a very heated issue, and I know that there are those who are for it or don't mind either way. I'm not going to try to change anybody- it is what I believe and if that were enough to change a person's mind, that's fine with me.
I cant say i really "care" about it but I think everyone should have the chance to get married if they love each other...call me softie :P
Here, here, Ravoc ;) Your head's staying on your shoulders.Quote:

I've never really met anyone who's gay/lesbian/bi, but if I did, I wouldn't stop talking to them or being their friend or anything like that, especially if they've been
a really good friend to me. A friend's a friend, you know?
Well my best friend's gay but obviously that gives me no more right to an opinion than anyone else...
I just believe that gay couples should be allowed the same rights that married heterosexual couples have, if they choose to make that commitment. It doesn't have to be a big religious ceremony, as long as they are allowed the chances that many heterosexual couples take for granted, such as joint ownership of a house or mortgage etc.
I'm not going to think less of people that are against 'gay marriage' but I do ask them to consider why they are actually against it...if it's just because their religion says so then do you follow every other letter of your religious rules? I would be willing to bet that quite a few people only take the rules that suit them and so I hope they can reconsider this stance on a simple legal complication that would allow gay people the same rights as straight people.
That is all, please don't think I am insulting religion as I am a firm supporter of it...I just want people to take a step back and consider why they are so against a few legal precedings taking place to allow homosexual couples some basic human rights.
I agree there's no crime in being gay, but marriage is a ceremony that involves a man and a women. I'm not against it because of any religous belifes, I just belive that marriage is between a man and a woman.Quote:

Oh yay, I'm so glad this lovely thread is back. </sarcasm>
Love is universal, doesn't matter what language you speak or what country you belong to. Love is what keeps the human race alive; without it we'd have blown ourselves up by now. Marriage is the epitome of love, binding and absolute. Why, therefore, should we exclude any human being from sharing that experience with their significant other? What message does it send? You are not worth being married, you are not human. Christianity does not own marriage, no religion does. It's a shared aspect of almost every society, religious or not; it is part of us, we are creatures of single, life-long mates (Yes, we marriages and relationships do fail, and yes some societies practice polygamy, but you get my point). If we start picking eachother apart, allowing certain people certain aspects of life but denying it to others, we've denied everything that love and compassion stands for; we are, like I said, no longer human.
If marriage is such a religious thing, and strictly between a man and woman, then how come nobody cares if Athiests get married?
Because religion is a scapegoat for an unrelenting and unjustified dislike, discrimination, or even hate that people have for the lifestyle and perhaps the people in the lifestyle.
Not always, but when religion does that, it's really sad.Quote:

It really doesn't matter to me if homosexuals get married. If two people love each other why cant they get married? Its their choice to do so not society to say that its wrong. I my self think its a little different and whatever but its their choice. Thats all i got to say
