Gay Marriage: Should It Be Allowed?

And gay people aren't fit to raise children? I can show you plenty of news sources showing straight people that aren't fit to raise children...

And there's no current marriage fraud? What source claimed that homosexual marriages would generate a disproportional amount of fraud?

And as for the strain on the family court system; equal rights shouldn't be given because it would put extra strain on a function of our government? How about we do away with ALL marriages, then there would be no strain on the family court system...

 

Gay people don't have the right to the benefits of marriage.

What's the next step, gay pologmy? You want that kind of mess straining the family courts?

 

Not yet, but...
Should blacks be allowed to marry?
What about mixed couples?

Until the civil war, blacks couldn't marry in parts of the US... That changed...

Until the 60's, mixed couples couldn't marry in atleast 15 states... That changed...

Civil rights have a way of working themselves out, just takes time...

Logical Fallacy, Slippery Slope

What does gay marriage have to do with polygamy?

You're right, do away with all marriage so we don't put any strain on them...

 

marriage is in enough trouble as it is, this whole gay thing may be the brick that breaks the camel's back.

i foresee an age, when marriage really doesn't mean anything, a large percent of marriages as of now mean nothing. people still cheat, lie, have no love. it's just another thing evolved humans have placed artificial value upon, a ring, a wedding, and the ability to say that you are officially married as if it holds some weight to it.

love doesn't bloom in documents, rings or wedding dresses, but rather simply a state of mind. maybe the time will come when the evolved man will realize it was the primitive man who was right after all..

 

Gay Marriage is acceptable and should not be looked down upon!

 

lol look at bogart pretending his concerns are the strain gay marriage may put on the courts.

 

Any guarantees that children of gay people won't be looked down upon by society [not everyone is enlightened] or that the parent's WON'T influence the sexual preferences of their "child".

 

Can you guarantee me that blacks aren't "looked down" upon by society? What about mixed children?

Should we not allow blacks to have children? Mixed couples?

Should they not be allowed to have children because some ignorant people are so filled with misguided hate that they will direct it towards those that are different from them? And because of these ignorant people, we should take away the rights to equality of some citizens?

Can you guarantee me that any residual racism of black parents won't be passed down to their children?

 

as Ron Paul said its an issue that should be decided individually by the state and not at the federal level. I personally dont support it but im not gonna go out and kill or arrest people that wanna practice it.

 

Gay marriage is a complete non issue IMO. What the hell are they fighting for? Marriage isn't so important among heterosexuals either

 

What's happens when gays that are 'married' move to another state?

 

Exactly, it's being abused by some heterosexuals, and taken for granted by others... Equal rights shouldn't only be for blacks, it should be for all Americans...

Why did no one respond to my last post?


PS... I guess people feel strongly about this topic, look at these reps:

 

All true. We can't guarantee anything. Look at all the seemingly good families that raise horrible children that grow into horrific adults.

Ideally, it would be based on the much the same requirements that a prospective child adopter would have to go through. Is it a good, safe home? Is the parent or parents psychologically fit? Is there a criminal record? Etc.

In reality, I don't feel it matters the orientation, color, race, religion. In my opinion, any and all of aspects can provide a healthy, happy, relatively safe environment for a child to grow up.

I had a weird Rep - Your avatar is offensive! Dogs are haram!

 

You have to draw the line someone. Once you allow gay marriage people will start marrying animals. I saw an article the other day that a guy in India married a dog.

 

So a gay person is no more of a person than a dog? That's honestly close to the worst logic I've ever heard...

Bogart: Should interracial couples be allowed to wed?

 

Marriage is the union of a man and a woman.

It's not more complicated than that.

 

Then why were blacks kept from marrying; and until the 60's, interracial couples?

If it's so cut and dry, why were these man-and-woman unions not allowed?

 

That's a common gay tactic of comparing blacks to gays. Being gay is a lifestyle choice.

 

Are you gay? How do you know it's a choice?

So, by your theory, it's cut and dry, blacks and mixed couples should have always been allowed to wed... But they weren't allowed to for a long time, then people saw it was wrong, so things changed... Can you honestly say you don't see that happening slowly now?

 

I was for allowing the gay marriage until I started to think about if debunked and bogart be allowed to get married and how their children will look like, so I am not sure anymore.
