Topic: Are you in favor of same sex marriage? - page 43. (Read 22844 times)
I am in favor of same sex marriage. I believe that two people sharing a beautiful relationship regardless of gender deserves this and as long as they are not hurting anyone, then i guess there is nothing wrong with giving them this right. We can never stop someone from spending the rest of their life with someone of the same sex.
No I am not in favor of same sex marriage because I didnt see or read and as far as I know it is prohibited in the bible.
Let them do what they wanna do.
Some countries or state have been accepting this kind of marriage. Here in the Philippines, we do not recognize it as legal or something like that. How about in your country?
They don't legalize it because they believe that it is a sin so they won't support it. It really is according to the bible, but, people who'll engage themselve into same sex marriage are old enough and independent. They surely know what's right and wrong. I'm not against, I don't also support it. Just let them do what they want if it'll make them happy. But be sure that they'll be responsible foe the consequences. As long as they won't negatively affect people around them.Even if we tolerate homosexuality based on the principle of individual freedom, we can't overlook the negative consequences which arise from it. For example, homosexuality is responsible for at least 80% of the new HIV cases in the United States. Also, around 40% of the child sex abuses are homosexual in nature, although the gays are just 1% or 2% of the total population.

But I do respect the 2nd gender. It's just that when it comes to marriage it is a sacred mystery that is only for man and woman.
I am not in favor of mixing religious views in to personal choices. If the homosexuals want to engage in sodomy and other pervert acts, then let them do it in their bedrooms. But I am having a problem, when they try to indoctrinate others with their gay propaganda (especially the children).
Yes, the marriage (even between the same sex) is an innocent act, so i'm completely in favor.
I don't have anything against same sex marriage as long as they are happy and what they are doing is right. There's nothing wrong with loving someone. I guess everyone has the right to be happy and to be with the one they love.

This is nuts, this will lead the world to end just like what happened to Sodom and Gomorra. I don't agree and will never be in favor of this crazy thing.
personally I am not favor of same sex marriage. Marriage was originally defined as the legal union of two people of the opposite sex for the purpose of creating one family and for creating children, or two people of the same sex who wish to join in a union.
In my country (Germany) it was announced that the gay marriage has the same rights as the marriage of man and woman marriage. It was a long political discussion.
thats a crap of a thing people should not engage in such a thing
I'm completely disagree with this issue, it is not a natural process. If this hated culture will last long in the society then how people regenerate their post next generation? So I don't like this issue, but curious mind wants to know how these people have gained sexual pleasure by doing sex with same gender. It is totally madness and insane.
There's enough hate around the world, so why not? It doesnt affects big masses
I don't against on same sex marriage. For me its their life we don't need to tamper on what they want. We have our own life 
So as a homophobic and intolerant person towards gay people, of course it is completely fine to keep old traditions. Being gay or straight isn't a choice, so maybe put yourself in the shoes of a gay person. What are your options? Pretend to be straight to appease people that hate you, or have less rights?
Being tolerant towards homosexuality is one thing, and recognizing homosexual marriage as a regular marriage is another. Please don't confuse between the two. Personally, I don't care what the gays do in their privacy. But the problem arises when they want to have homosexual orgies in the public, and gay pride parades in the metro cities.
Where are you seeing gay orgies in public? I live in Toronto, which is one of the most gay-friendly cities in the world, and I haven't seen any gay orgies in public. I haven't even seen any straight orgies in public either. And both are illegal.
We have a pride parade one weekend each year and people don't take offense to this. In fact lots of straight people go and show their support, and it's a good time. It's a celebration to be able for people with differences to be accepted into society, because it simply can't happen in many parts of the world.
There's also a strong correlation between the top cities in the world to live in, and top gay friendly cities.
But going back to gay marriage, if you don't care about what they do in their privacy, their marriage will be private. It's not like you're going to be involved with it in any way. It basically affects their taxes, which is a completely private matter.
It is not private anymore, when activists around them demand recognition of family status without actually starting a family. Then it is public affair by definition.

Social justice warrior: A pejorative term for an individual who repeatedly and vehemently engages in arguments on social justice on the Internet, often in a shallow or not well-thought-out way, for the purpose of raising their own personal reputation. A social justice warrior, or SJW, does not necessarily strongly believe all that they say, or even care about the groups they are fighting on behalf of. They typically repeat points from whoever is the most popular blogger or commenter of the moment, hoping that they will "get SJ points" and become popular in return. They are very sure to adopt stances that are "correct" in their social circle.

You really think that a private certificate with the city turns a relationship public? I don't think someone with that certificate will be a public affair vs. not having the certificate.
Are you suggesting that I'm a social justice warrior? This is the internet bro, and my identity is not being revealed so I'm not getting any points. In fact it's not even a popular opinion since most people that post here are homophobic. Perhaps I could be speaking out of my ass, and not give a shit per your definition. To be honest I don't think anyone's opinion is going to change here. But I live in one of the most gay-friendly and multicultural cities in the world, which is one of the top cities to live in. I have gay friends, who are really good and honestly people. 2 weeks ago I went to pride with all straight friends. It's just a city that has progressed past this, to the point that it's not much of an issue anymore. Most parts of the world haven't reached that point and still have pride in their hatred for a stranger. I am also lucky in that I've got to travel a decent amount, which again increases tolerance and sheds localized culture.
Just look at gay friendly cities and best cities to live in. Increased civil liberty makes for a better life in general. Look at the people posting that gay relationships and marriage is an abomination. Then look at where they live. Then look at how many people are waiting to immigrate there.
Same sex marriage is strictly prohibited and if there is a country that legalized same sex marriage, I'm sure the country will be ruined and destroyed in the future.

As long as they are not being a threat to anyone I am not opposing same sex marriage. Because we all have freewill it is up to you if you think that being married to the same gender as yours is a sin. Btw, I am a roman catholic.
