Gay Marriage 'Rights'
We have been brought up in a society where homosexuality is not
acknowledged. To be in love with someone of the same sex is a
sin and now to want the rights to live united under the bonds of
matrimony is even a huger sin. But my thoughts are if a same sex
couple want to unite for the rest of their lives let them. It's
none of our business.
Maybe allowing people the right to marry someone of the same sex
is upsetting to you but how would you feel if our culture
believed in say arranged marriage and you were forced to marry
someone you didn't love. Now think about it. Is it really fair
for us to force the gay community to be with someone they do not
want to be with. Should they not have the same rights as
heterosexuals, to spend the rest of their lives united under the
bonds of matrimony.
Question your child says mom and dad , I'm love with someone of
the same sex. Do you accept them or turn them away ? What happen
to loving your child unconditionally and accepting them as they
are. I know the Bible says it's a sin, but it also says that the
only unforgivable sin is not accepting Jesus. If a gay person
accepts Jesus ,but does not change his lifestyle, can he go to
heaven?
john 10:28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never
perish; no one can snatch them out of My hand." there is only
one sin that is unforgivable. That is the sin of not believing
and not receiving Jesus Christ into your life. God is the only
one who truly knows our hearts. Some have reason that a child in
a same sex marriage might be teased .But that same reasoning you
would be outlawing inter-racial marriage because the child might
be teased or let's outlaw people with disabilities from getting
married. After all the child might get teased. How far do we
take it? When to stop teaching our children hatred and bigotry?
People said the same thing when we allowed blacks the same
rights as whites, or when we allowed women the right to vote, or
when we allowed blacks and whites to marry each other. People
went off about society. I don't believe that religion actually
has a whole lot to do with it. I believe that it is ignorance
and fear (mostly).
But in the interest of fair play with the people who do not
believe that homosexuals should be granted the right, that is
your right to think that. I don't agree with it. however I do
respect it. However what is it with thinking that a homosexual
relationship is all about sex. If sex without the possibility of
creating life is wrong, then you better start warning people
about masturbation.
Like everyone on this earth gays have the right to be happy. I'
am sickened by the sheer volumes of people on this earth that
seem to believe it's their duty to correct the gay community on
their lifestyle. Gay people are still human, and homophobes need
to find a healthy hobby, instead of bashing things they are
threatened by or don't understand. These people don't wake up
one day and say "I'm going to be gay just for fun, let's go!",
it's a natural part of their existence, and to be hated for
something they have no control over is as ignorant, old-world,
and pathetic as being racist to others with different color skin.
Marriage is really about forming a permanent bond with someone
that you love deeply and want to spend the rest of your life
with, as well as create your own family with. Being homosexual
It's not an anomaly or some freakish disease that they can take
pills for, it's natural. Not everyone is the same, this is
evident in skin colors and physical appearances I think same sex
marriages should be allowed - they are human beings after all
and deserve just as much respect as anyone else - basic human
rights!
We must accept that people are who they are, and we shouldn't
exclude them from anything - including the right to live happily
married together. The way I look at it is this: A person's
sexual orientation is his or her personal lifestyle. No one has
to agree with it but him or her. You aren't forced to accept or
condone it, but you have to live with it.
Who cares if another man or woman chooses to live that certain
lifestyle? It doesn't affect me and frankly, it's none of my
gosh-darned business. They don't sticking their nose in my
bedroom, I'm not about to go snooping in theirs. Why do so many
people feel the need to stick their noses where they obviously
don't belong? I seem to remember something from the Bible that
said, "Judge not, lest ye be judged." Homophobia, like racism,
is ignorance. We hate and fear what we don't understand. I am
not gay, but I couldn't care less if someone else is. I say hell
let them get married.
Which brings us to another point: God. Actually it's not so much
God as it is all God's followers who use the Bible as an excuse
to condemn homosexuality. God is a loving God. Why do some
people feel that they must do the hating for Him? While is it he
preaches love and forgiveness and some of his followers preach
gay bashing and intimidation. Bigots!
Marriage is a basic human , the state should not interfere with
same-gender couples who choose to marry and share fully an
equally in the rights, responsibilities, and commitment of civil
marriage." The people who get me are the ones who slam gays as
sinners but have engaged in rampant pre-marital sex, something
the bible also clearly frowns upon. According to the bible any
sexual relationship outside of a committed marriage relationship
between one man and one woman demeans the institution of
marriage and is a sin. That would include adultery.
What about Divorce Many Roman Catholics have reached different
beliefs about when, if ever, the Bible permits divorce and
remarriage. According to the Bible, 43% of the same people who
condemn a gay man for his homosexuality choose to live in a life
of adultery, a sin that's equal to homosexuality in God's eyes.
We are not ruled by the bible last I looked. There is a
difference between legal and moral. Many things in Todays
society are immoral however they are still legal. Therefore who
is the Government to decide what is legal based on their opinion
that they feel it is immoral.
I sure as hell don't support the state's tendency to attempt to
legislate morality based on a typically narrow world or
religious view. That's not what freedom is about. I know gays
and lesbians that have been good and faithful parents. On the
other hand I have seen straight families that mentally abused if
not physically abused their children. I believe people should
have all of the legal rights possible and if that means we call
it a marriage then so be it.
If two committed partners want to legally formalize their
relationship, why should the Government prevent them from
joining, even if no church will marry them. After all, we allow
atheists to get married and they certainly don't go in for the
whole religious ceremony.
