I believe that no one has the right to impose their morals or religious beliefs on others. What skin off your @$$ is it to let homosexual people get married?
Edit: Has anyone heard of the term, ';Separation between church and state'; or is it just me?What are your reasons for opposing same-sex marriage?
Besides the fact that it would be having to change the meaning of marriage, there are other reasons I am opposed to it.
Going over it very briefly, heterosexual marriages earn their benefits in most cases as opposed to homosexual marriages. Heterosexual marriages lead to children which supports a country's population growth or stability. Homosexual marriages on the other hand bring about no children. Of course some straight couples don't have children but it is more likely they will than the 0 chance homosexual couples will.
It isn't just the direct production of children though. Even if they are adopted there is evidence pointing out that it is beneficial for a child to have a male parent and a female parent. Add to this a child who grows with parents of opposite sex is more likely to see that as normal, and more likely to marry someone of their opposite sex, leading to the possibility of children. A child growing up in a homosexual marriage may see that more normal and therefor be more likely to get in a homosexual relationship, meaning no children.
1. I prefer civil union for gay couples not marriage. The purpose of marriage is procreation or intent to procreate. Same-sex union can't procreate.
2. It has to do with moral standards. Moral standards should be decided by the majority resides in each state.
3. It has nothing to do with equality since civil union gives same-sex couples the equal rights as married couples. And, marriage or no marriage, no one is opposing or trying to stop same-sex couples love each other.
4. Don't want the gay activists use the legalization of same-sex marriage to advance their other agendas especially teaching homosexuality or normalize homosexuality in school.
Same-sex marriage is oxymoronic since not possible. Marriage is the union of one man and one woman. It was a word created for an institution created by religion. The state has co-opted the word for its own aims and control. It has no power to re-define the word at its whim.
Marriage is specific, lawfully defined word, worldwide, based on the intent of natural law and order. Individual governments can not simply re-define it by legislative fiat, since they never originally defined it to begin with.
If you wish a civil union to validate a relationship, God bless you, but it can't be called a marriage.
I am against changing the definition of marriage. Marriage was created by religion, and it is a sacred covenant, not a secular contract. Marriage is defined by all religions as between a man and a woman. Changing the definition of marriage to include same-sex couples violates the doctrine of separation of church and state. If same-sex people want to become unified or partnered, they are going to have to call it something else. Why do gays want to get married anyway? The divorce rate is over 50 percent.
Ok then,
Let me start by saying I am not religious and I studied Psychology and Criminology. I know and speak with many gays in my daily life. I do not hate gays, and the gay people I know seem to be fine with me.
%26gt;It is a statistical fact that people raised in ';nuclear families'; (1 mother, 1 father, children) are the most successful financially, are generally happier and have less divorce, they are least likely to be overwieght, least likely to do drugs, go to prison, etc... Nuclear families help society progress, while non-nuclear family types, including extended, single-parent (gay), foster care etc, cause are negative impact on society.
%26gt;Gay people are not actually as happy as they let on on tv. Gay's have extremely high rates of suicide and depression. The cause of the depression generally stems from childhood abuse / neglect. Gays are not evil, they, like all of us, are the result of their past experience. If you recreate a very specific set of circumstances and apply them to a child while raising them, you will get a very standard result in adulthood. Example: Male child watches mother be physically abused growing up. Odds are the child becomes physically abusive as well. Serial killers all grow up the exact same way, pedophiles report over 90% of the time that they were sexually abused as children, AND people with fathers that worked hard and set a good example for their kids have a much higher chance of having successful kids that contribute to society. Point is, gays are generally gay because of a poor childhood environment. Gay report much higher amounts of childhood abuse. That doesn't make them bad, it makes society bad for 1. causing the circumstances for gay people to come about and 2. lauding gays instead of feeling ashamed they exist as a society. 30% of all teen suicides are committed by gays and lesbians while they make up only 1 - 2% of the population, and that is not because of societal pressures.
It is simple common sense. It is a sociological problem. It is unhealthy and counter-productive behaviour. It does not mean society should ban gays or kill them or ostracize them. It means we should look closer at preventing abuse and encouraging healthier lifestyles that lead to a better economy, happier people, and a better future.
PS%26gt; I know I will be labeled a wing nut because the TV told you so, but please have a think about this and look up the empirical data yourself if you really care to know.
It undermines the institution of marriage.
It opens the door to reducing the idea of marriage to anything that anyone wants, plural marriage, incestuous marriage, what ever you want.
It intrudes on the 1st Amendment rights of an employer if he is forced to pay benefits to gay married partners if he objects on religious grounds.
Those are ones that some to mind immediately.
It is an unnatural thing. This is something that is meant for Man and Woman. The sexual organs were made for reproduction. And the pleasure of it to be enjoyed by a husband and wife couple. Two men or women cannot reproduce. The anus is meant to discard waste. A civil union is fine. If the two share in purchases throughout their time together then they are a union.
I have no problem with the concept of homosexuals getting married. I have heard a lot of fear from the Christian right about churches who refuse to marry homosexuals losing their tax exempt status as non for profit organizations. I think that part needs to be clarified.
I'm ok with civil unions which include all partnership benefits under the law, but marriage is an institution between a man and a woman
What's next down the slippery slope of morality, will libs want to legitimize NAMBLA or marry their cats?
Just pick a state where all the homos can do whatever they want.
Sodom and Gomorrah
don't oppose it. just for states rights.
