Why is this "debate" even allowed on a pet site? Really stupid, good-bye, website, not going to play you if this is considered acceptable here.

<i>GOD Made Adam and EVE NOT Adam and Steve, no this should not be allowed, I don't understand gays at all, to me it is wrong.</i><br /> <br /> did you literally just use that argument<br /> <br /> I am so sorry that your brain has been poisoned with religion<br /> <br /> So basically, loving somebody of the same sex is wrong because YOUR "God" created two people of the opposite sex? You are aware there is more than one religion, right? Not everyone believes in your god.<br /> <br /> And what does it affect you if two men get married? Oh wait, it doesn't. You're wasting time and energy fighting against something that <i>doesn't even affect you.</i> Why bother. Why can't you just let two people love each other in peace.

I'm of the opinion that the only people it affects are the people involved in that relationship.<br /> <br /> Marriage in America is basically paperwork for legal rights.<br /> <i>Holy Matrimony</i> is what we call the ceremony you perform in a church before whatever God you worship.<br /> <br /> If Gay Marriage is affecting your marriage, you or your partner is gay.<br /> If Gay Marriage starts to affect you, maybe you shouldn't get Gay Married.<br /> <br /> Just sayin'.<br /> <br /> Y'all religious folks can keep your Holy Matrimony. I don't believe in God, so I don't need some man in a robe to bless me and my partner of choice - whether that person has the same genitalia as me or not.

@blue moon kennels<br /> Gay marriage and being gay in general is just the same as being straight and married, except with someone of your own gender. What is love? Love isn't about the ability to conceive a child, love is about caring and supporting one another. <br /> <br /> <br><br /> <br><br /> And honestly, I think this world needs more love than anything else, and allowing and accepting gay marriage would bring just this.<br /> <br /> <br><br /> <br><br /> Yes I am a Christian, and yes I know the bible says somethings that could be considered anti-gay. God did make Adam and Eve, but God also made Jesus, and Jesus's most important message to all of his followers was to love our neighbors, no matter who they are, or where they came from. <br />

GOD Made Adam and EVE NOT Adam and Steve, no this should not be allowed, I don't understand gays at all, to me it is wrong.

<i>Ect. It really shouldn't decide their happiness and well being just because they choose to like people of the same gender.</i><br /> <br /> haha no<br /> <br /> You don't choose who you like, last I checked. I can't look at someone and say "Hey, I'm gonna fall in love with her." And no, you do absolutely do not choose your sexuality. While sexuality IS fluid and can change over time, you have no control over it. I mean, sure, you can say "Hey, I'm gonna go try dating girls." But you won't actually have any emotional/physical connection with them unless you're attracted to them. Which isn't your choice. <br /> <br /> LGBT+ youth are constantly bullied and even KILLED for being different. And you think they choose that lifestyle?

<i>No, they shouldn't. Just another reason to force churches into things they don't want to do. God meant for man and women to be joined in marriage not men and men or women and women. I have no problem with bisexuality, but I fell its wrong that they get the benefit of marriage when god wanted to unite men and women</i><br /> <br /> I'm surprised you just changed like that, Plot. Sure it's been over a year since that post, but what made you change your views, if I may ask ?<br /> <b>Also, to people: We <u>DO NOT</u> choose our sexuality. I never chose to be bisexual with a preference of females. <i>That's not how it works.</i></b>

I could care less what sexual orientation you are, it doesn't really matter to me. Sexual orientation should NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE in whether or not you can be happy, open and have basic rights or equal rights to those of a straight or a person in general with the opposite orientation. <br /> I don't get the big deal.... Why does or should the sexual orientation of a person or of people decide how they are treated, what rights they should have, Ect. It really shouldn't decide their happiness and well being just because they choose to like people of the same gender. <br /> Everyone deserves a chance to love and find happiness. If same sex marriage makes you happy, GREAT. I support you. (:

Alright, this is a debate I can talk for hours about. No one should have the right to vote on another person's right to get married, because if heterosexual couples would like to get married, it should automatically be a right for same-sex couples to get married, to adopt, and have the same basic rights as other heterosexual couples because they are all human. We say not to let history repeat itself, but look at what we are doing: we're killing others for their sexualities, preventing them from having the same benefits as any human being should be automatically allowed to have, just as we had for others of color earlier in the 20th century. In Russia, people are constantly murdered in broad daylight for their sexuality, something they can't help. History is repeating itself. We should just suck it up and allow people to marry what ever and whomever they want to, regardless of species, gender, or age or color. It doesn't matter. Who decided it mattered? Homosexuality has been around for as long as we have been around, and it's been present in every species in the animal kingdom. It shouldn.t be shunned. Just let people get married! The government is supposed to be separated from religion, anyway.

Honestly? I do not see the big deal of same-sex marriages. The only difference is the fact that instead of a male and a female wanting to spend the rest of their lives together, it is a male and male or a female and female couple. Maybe it is just me being naive, but what does same-sex couples wanting to be married have anything to do with the government? What right do they have to say "You cannot marry!"? All they are doing making people unhappy and scared to be around the person they love.<br /> <br /> I am straight, and was raised VERY religious by my mother and step-father. I was told to never have anything to do with the LGBT community, as they have a bad lifestyle. My step-dad especially, was very against same-sex marriages. But frankly I do not see the big deal. A lot of my friends are Bi or Gay, and they are the nicest people I know. They do not push on me what they do, even though I know that some do, and they are actually much more fun to be around. They are not afraid of themselves. <br /> <br /> I do not understand what the issue is. As I said before, I may be naive, but what right do people have to say no? This is just my opinion.
