Love is love. No one can tell you who or what to love or how to love that particular object/place/person. Marriage is not some sort of "sacred" ceremony as people lead on. Rather, it is two people who take the vows and promises to stay together until they die. Marriage should not be limited to a man/woman couple. If two men or two women want to get married, I'm all for it. Gay rights is all the more important to the next step in humanitarian efforts.

Marriage is a piece of paper. The only thing it is good for is money and for spiritual reasons. I don't see what the big deal about it really.

There you go... as it means pretty much nothing if the two people know they are in love then I see no problem with it.

Agree with above posts...I dont care about "marriage" as such but it does piss me off that two people who care about each other cant have hospital visitation rights, same inheritance laws, health care coverage, and benefits (and downsides) that legally come with being "married"...if they want to have some ceremony and find someone willing to preside over it, thats cool too but I wouldnt force churches to do it.

In the legal sense, yes. I believe it's legal in my country.
But I don't believe any religious Church, Temple, etc. should be forced to conform to the law and change their beliefs about it, by letting gays/lesbians marry. It'd be great if they conformed by will (as contradictory as it would be), but not forced.

I'm in the UK, i'm aware it is legal for "Civil Union" and i don't see why people see this as a problem. My mum is gay and i believe she should be perfectly capable of walking to a registry office and coming out "married" to her true love without any prejudism against her.
However if you mean marriage as in a church wedding then i see no problem with not leting homosexuals marry there. Religions are still private "companies" remember with their own rules and restrictions and is up to them what they allow their buildings and doctrine to be used for.
In terms of gay rights my mother has never mentioned being in anyway repressed or segregated because of her sexuality, and besides: If a company is prejudiced against a gay person then that person can sue, what can happen if a straight person is prejudiced against? nothing

Getting married isn't just about love; most aren't even in love but do it for other reasons. It's being legally recognized as a union between two persons so that one can have legal responsibilities for their partner.
If you just want love, there's really no need to marry. You don't need a piece of paper and a ceremony to confirm to each other that you are truly in love and will remain that way.

Do you pick your views on issues from a laundry list of what people with your political affiliation ought to believe, or something? That just seems more than a little stupid; political beliefs are second to othe beliefs about the way the world operates, the way it ought to operate, etc., so you can't just have a "political" view unless you're an unthinking propagator of others' political opinions.
I am in favor of it. Marriage is a contract; same-sex - or intersex, or whatever - couples have the exact same ability to make that contract as different-sex couples, so there's no good reason that they shouldn't.

to begin with i think that making the homosexual marriage illegal is stupid. To make something illegal a punishment would be necessary to enforce the law and that would mean discrimination. I think the definition of marriage is between a men and a woman. that can't be changed it's something that i grew up knowing, like for me pluto will always be a planet and that the venezuelan flag has only 7 stars. But then again not allowing homosexuals to enjoy the same rights violates freedom, which is the thing america has always been recognized as… the land of freedom.
The reason why i like Canada better.
Freedom in a government is a balance of rules and stuff you want to do. the rules must meet the people expectation and what people want to do accordingly must respect the rules. if people fail to follow the rules a punishment is met. If the rules don't meet people expectation, the rules will be reformed in favour of the majority

Ah, yes. the age-old debate over gay marriage. there are many ways to see it...and heres mine :)
(obtw, i may be slightly biased seeing as im bi...hmm..oh well.)
my basic belief is that love is love and whoever wants to marry can marry whoever they wanna, regardless of sex. if i wanna marry a girl, i should be able to marry a girl, and the same goes with a guy. the reason for the tension, especially in the US, is religion. many religious buffs hate the idea of gays, and will do anything in their power to stop it. and seeing as the majority of those in politics are religious, some more than others, it appears that us gays are slightly outnumbered, and seemingly without the proper weapons to combat these political giants. i am disappointed that the number of states that allows cousins to marry vastly outnumbers the amount of those that allow gay marriage...thats just not right.
my point is that people need to open their eyes and see that love is love, whether between a man and a woman, man and man, or woman and woman. you gotta find the other half to your soul, no matter what kinda organs the body has on it. stop being so uptight and just let us do what we please.

I agree. I apologize if I came off as insulting.
anyway @ OP I don't think legislating a bill to legalize gay marriage on a federal level is viable, the only way I see a federal style mandate being passed down to the states (which will make gay marriage nationally legal) is to win a Supreme Court case. Unfortunately the courts don't seem willing to make that leap at this point. History shows us that if we keep pushing it through states one at a time, eventually momentum will be gained and these other options become more realistic.

Far be it from me to claim myself a literalist. Quite frankly I think problems with interpretations such as the one you are having characterizes a major problem in the Christian faith. Your argument is fallacious in the sense that you compare the actions of priests (not even in the modern day, but at best probably high middle age era clergy) with the laws of the early Israelites who roamed the earth thousands of years before and lived by a drastically different moral code. Despite the fact you are comparing apples to oranges, you also forget that it is relatively easy for people to simply point out that the sinful actions of a minority do not represent the majority, or even so far as to say that the actions of sinful mortals do not reflect on the divinity of god's plan.
Granted, I don't believe any of that but I just punched a rather massive hole in your argument. I admire your drive to question the Bible, but I think the conclusions you have come to are wrong. The problem is you don't take into account historical circumstances and you make broad and general statements without support. I would like to help you revise your approach and conclusion, because you might be onto something, but your evidence leaves it standing on weak legs.

Okay, but none of that actually addressed anything. That didn't punch a hole in my argument in the least because there's still no condemnation of homosexuality in the account of Sodom and Gammorrah.
But going beyond that with the Levitical laws, it takes full context to understand anything. There is no comparing apples and oranges because I'm pointing out the major problem with citing Leviticus as a source for homosexuality being a sin. That applies very effectively to discussing whether or not homosexuality is a sin.
Then the Romans passage, I go into full detail of why that's wrong.

The Old testament itself is completely divorced from the New Testament. You can look back from the New, but not forward from the Old, if you follow me.

It depends. A lot of Churches completely butcher Christianity to the point where it doesn't even resemble what it once was. I don't attend Church because of this. I contrast the difference between someone like me and the people you're probably used to as: Me = Christian. Them = Believers.
Some other time on the debate grounds though. I'm a mess right now and don't have my usual flare for that kind of thing. XD

If one would believe there is a creator, and if the creator calls himself love, and if he has designed the human race to have sexual relationships between man and women; then it must be best, and right, for them to be in those types of relationships.
Romans 1:24-27
"24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."
Genesis 2:20-24
"But for Adam [ no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman,'
for she was taken out of man."
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh."
God created woman for man, he did not create another man to be Adam’s partner.
Personally, I believe that it is wrong to engage in sexual relations, and or marriage, with a partner of the same sex.
I also will say that I have absolutely nothing against people who are gay, in fact several of my friends are gay, though I think it's wrong.

Genesis 2:20-24
"But for Adam [ no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman,'
for she was taken out of man."
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh."
God created woman for man, he did not create another man to be Adam’s partner.

What do you think about gay marriage?
The same as what I think about straight marriage. Why do the genders of those who marry matter?

In truth they don't. In some states it's illegal, so that's why some people think it matters.

Because they've been brainwashed; makes sense I suppose.

Its the fucking church that's against it. I honestly have no problem with gay marriage. People should have the right to marry who they want.

theres nothing wrong with gay marriage if two people love each other why try to stop them from being happy. we dont have that right its in the us constitution that a person has the right to pursuit happiness.

well,
Im gay and I fuck anyone who gets in the way of me getting married. End of story.
Pure win mate.
Its not like gay marriage should be illegal anyway, if a man and a woman can get married, why cant two guys or two girls.
