banning gay marriage won't stop people from being gay.

/shrug

7 pages and I still don't see how allowing my cousin and her girlfriend to marry eachother would have any negative effect on our society whatsoever.

This is very true. As long as the US does not legalize gay marriage i am happy, but there are still gays out there. And there is NO way to stop it.

hahaha There are thousands of members on AnandTech that say the same thing as you, but have, as of yet, provided *no* reasonable argument against it. How are homosexuals hurting you, as a person, or the general public?

Honestly with the devorce rate going to 2/3 marriages i don't think gay marriage is all that bad. And about them raising kids i don't think its all that bad either cuz think about how many screwed up NON gay families there are out there. I mean there a LOT of non gay people out there who REALLY shouldn't have kids and do anyway.

Well since a Marriage is a joining of a man and a woman, it's kind of impossible for two men to get married.

Imagine it's the year 1900 - you'd be saying - "Well - since a marriage is the joining of a man and a woman of the same race, it's kind of impossible for and black woman and a white man to get married".

Present a logical argument if you want to be taken seriously.

 

[ineedaname]

I don't get why some ppl take it so offensively I mean why do you care that there's gay marriage out there. If you say its against the bible then who cares u know that 99% of people sin like crazy anyway. What makes you so holy?

No I wouldn't be saying that. It hasn't been defined as a joining of a man and a woman of the same race.

It was the accepted definition in the early 1900's, and illegal in most states.

That's nice. The government really has nothing to do with it, and none of that has anything to do with me.

Apparently, the government wants something to do with it, and frankly, we could use some decent PR nowadays.

i always thought that marriage should not have any kind of legal implication at all. you could get married if you're religious, but it would have no affect on anything else. anything that is currently tied to marriage (taxes, benefits, etc.) would be tied to civil unions (or some other name) for everyone.

of course i realize that this isn't really a feasible solution, but it would separate the legal concerns from the moral/ethical/religious ones.

Only in person they hurt you.... ruining a man's reputation talking like a girl, spending there money on clothes getting women jobs(not saying men should not buy clothes, but like a month ago i heard a gay guy talking " this is a size 6 pair of jeans" thats what women wear NOT MEN!!!!!). there is plenty to argue. why would we want a MAN to act like a woman. EX. i want to go and get my hair cut on sat. but there is only one place open and there is a gay guy working there, you would want him to be checking you out and touching you....... NO.

Here's a verse from the bible read it carefully.

Genesis Ch. 19, VS. 1-8

""""""The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. 2 "My lords," he said, "please turn aside to your servant's house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning."
"No," they answered, "we will spend the night in the square."

3 But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. 4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom?both young and old?surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."

6 Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him 7 and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing. 8 Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don't do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof."

9 "Get out of our way," they replied. And they said, "This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We'll treat you worse than them." They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.

10 But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. 11 Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door.

12 The two men said to Lot, "Do you have anyone else here?sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, 13 because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it."

14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry [a] his daughters. He said, "Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!" But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.

15 With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished."

16 When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. 17 As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, "Flee for your lives! Don't look back, and don't stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!"

18 But Lot said to them, "No, my lords, please! 19 Your [c] servant has found favor in your [d] eyes, and you [e] have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can't flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I'll die. 20 Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it?it is very small, isn't it? Then my life will be spared."

21 He said to him, "Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. 22 But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it." (That is why the town was called Zoar. [f] )

23 By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. 24 Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah?from the LORD out of the heavens. 25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities?and also the vegetation in the land. 26 But Lot's wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD. 28 He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.

29 So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived."""""""

That's the way it is with a lot of gay men too.

They have no logical argument.

[complete bs snipped by GD]

First, religion has absolutely nothing to do with government, nor legal marriage, nor how gays are hurting the general public. That eliminated the majority of your post.

When you refer to gays as acting like women, you are talking about a specific subset of homosexuals. I know many, many gay men that you would never suspect are gay unless they told you. That's about the same level of bias as saying that a [straight] woman should never work at a hardware store, or drive a truck, or do anything else that she wants to do.

Furthermore, why do you flatter yourself so much as to presume that gay men will be checking you out? Newsflash: unless you're extremely hot, chances are good that you are wrong. Even if you were right, what does it matter if he is checking you out? I assure you, it happens when you're walking through the store, down the sidewalk, through the parking lot, out your front door, or are otherwise existing somewhere in public.

Touching you? He would be a hair dresser / stylist / whatever they're called. If he did anything inappropriate, you could sue him in a heartbeat. How is that a remotely valid argument? Do you think it's contagious, or that you'll somehow be contaminated with his germs? :roll:

**bullsh!t edited out**

That has got to be the biggest bullsh!t response in this whole thread. Not only are you VAIN enough to believe that every gay man is checking you out, but you also believe that every gay man fits the "stereotypical f@g" role. You can't distinguish many of them.

The bible has nothing to do with this, it's a detriment to your own credibility (proving that you have no REAL reason, other than your own bigotry).

I'm not sure how being gay and gay marriage relate to angels destroying a city because the men there wanted to rape them.

 

[tylerdustin2008]

The bible has to do with it all. It states in the begining that being gay or doing gay acts is wrong. And yes i know that gay people check you out. My high school has its own gay commitie and you know that the gays are checking you out you can here them talking about it. there are over 300 gays in a school of 2200. and heres a quote from the bible "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing". <<<<<< relating to raping the men which is being GAY. As long as they dont act gay around me im cool with it. But there should be NO NO NO NO NO gay mariages PERIOD.

 

[tylerdustin2008]

And imagine this. A gay married (MEN) couple moving in next door and you have some young children. You want them growing up close to that, and your children think that it is right and turn gay or even bi. Just simply no, and there is nothing anyof you can say to say "I would not care".

You have yet to respond with a rational argument. The bible advocates many things - cutting off hands, putting people to death, and other crazy stuff. Do you just pick and choose what parts of the bible you want to believe?

 

[kogase]

It's pretty weird to watch everybody against gay marriage come into this thread and repeat the same arguments over and over again, even though those arguments have been addressed in this very thread. But they don't read them, or if they read them they dismiss them (silently) and just go ahead and give us the same tired dogma.

 

[tylerdustin2008]

Im not a christan or go to church that often. BUT there are some things in life that are just wrong, like being gay, slavery, being racist, and etc.

Being gay /= pedophile, and people don't just "turn" gay.
