Dude, in the town I came from, who's father wasnt an alcoholic? Our neighbors made meth and did terrible shit around their kids, scaring them for life. You mean to tell me just because they can physiologically produce a baby that they deserve to? And that physiological capabilities determine automatically someones psychological aspect? If your morals lead you to believe thats right, then go to hell.

I feel sorry for all you conservatives in this thread. I really can respect the other side, but the people opposing the issue here are making a mockery of you. So far, not one has presented logical and competent reasons for opposing the issue, save from repeating scripture or just because "its gross, eeeeeeeewwww..." The entire US shouldnt conform to your Christian values, simply due to the fact that we arent all Christian. And I hope you can all be mature enough to deal with the idea of two guys kissing. Sure, its not the norm, but hey, here in WA where african americans make up less than 5% of the population, I'm not freaked out when I see a black dude. Besides, allowing civil unions gives more people equal rights and doesnt effect you if you're straight. So what, gay people can be married? Do you think they'll go have sex on the street in front of you or something?

Honestly, I would love to see someone present an argument against gay marriage that is rooted in something other than religious bias and personal discomfort. Give me a sociological or scientific reason why they should not enjoy the same freedoms we do. Oh wait, you cant!

actually if you read what i was quoting i said that its not hard for drunken people who are mentally unstable to have children for example. They can do it without help, thats why it happens. Read people. Why wouldnt i agree with starting a family if one of the parents werent capable of it? I dont even see why a gay couplr shouldnt be able to adopt, the stereotypical faggit would be a great parents, still marriage no, but same benefits.

i dont need to make a scientific reason why they shouldnt marry, its agianst my faith and i agree with it. Obvisouly i go agianst my faith, i'm not married and had sex, break the law with drugs etc. But gay marriage is not right, period. Just because you dont agree doesnt make me ignorant, so get over yourself there buddy.

this shit is so retarded.  its just everyone trying to be an internet badass and argue with republican_enemy and whoever is agrees with his opinion in the slightest way.

grow up god damn.  its just an opinion its not like he or anyone else walked in your house and raped your mom.  and you would be surprised how many people have different opinions on this issue.

you are basically calling people ignorant for having ideas because they dont see it your way

I don't give a shit what the bible says on the matter, but I still don't think gay marriages should be legal.
I didn't research any of this, so I could be wrong on a few points here but here I go anyways.
I think that the gay mindset is a problem that has been created by our society. Is it really possible that humans are born with the genetic coding to be attracted to other men? No way! If that was the case wouldn't other species experience gayness? Personally, I have never heard of a gay animal. Once again, that's just me. If this problem is ever to be fixed, we have to discourage it, not encourage it. If people growing up don't know that gay is a possibility, wouldn't it be much less likely to happen?

The problem is, gay people are trying to take over the world.  Sorry, but its just not normal.  I dont want the human race to all be bisexual in the future cause that would be well...just gay.....  It's scary that humans are taking natural selection into their own hands. You cannot tell me that two members of the same sex can normally produce a kid without any outside help.  Sure thats great if they want to raise a kid who has no parents at all.  I do not consider myself conservative either, but to see gay people just reproduce like mad to try and pollute the gene pool kind of pisses me off.

Without negative mutation of course.

They are normal fucking people i just dont think they should be able to get married. If you read my post clearly you would notice that i dont base my decisions on the catholic church i base them on personal values. So keep thinking your proving me wrong, its a lost cause, sorry.

attention. Why do ppl cut themselves but dont actually commit suicide? Cry for attention. These fags in most cases had a bad childhood, probably no father figure, its a simple mindset with a cry for attention.

How many gay people do you know? Every single one that I know has a father and a mother, has had a normal childhood (as far as I can tell) and are more than often the type to stay to themselves and NOT make a cry for attention. I can't imagine people willingly being kicked out of their homes and disowned by their parents (which is a very common occurrence) just to get attention; buying a funny hat to get attention would be more likely.

if people just decided to 'get over it' when it came to social problems then there'd never be anyone to help the issues. or provide justice. or equality. there'd be absolutely no hope for peace, reconciliation, rejuvenation...all of the wonderful things in life that allow people to be happy that they're getting up in the morning..it would all be gone. there'd only be darkness in an already semi-dark world.

gay marriage, im sorry to say, is a social problem. it affects people everyday, gay people. and shit, just like women (whom you also have no respect for) homos are people too!!!

i think that any church has the right to deny to let a couple be married under their church, however, i do not believe that the government should deny a marrige in a court. if the catholic or lutheran or jewish or whatever church doesnt want to recognize it as a marrige, fine, go ahead, but the government should not give different rights and benefits to gay and straight couples, they should be legally considered equal.

also, in many states they had voters vote on a gay marrige banning AMMENDMENT to be added to the state's constitution which makes me sick, because think if other things, like allowing slavery, had been fully ammended, which is basicly making a law much more solid and unchangeable.

#1 gay animals are existant in nature...just to tell you. plenty of other species have encountered 'homosexuality'

#2 regardless of how homosexuality came into being...regardless of why a person is gay or what kinds of "moral" rules this orientation might "break"....it remains that gay people exist. they are living breathing people who have feelings. they are people who are restricted from binding themselves to someone in a way that heterosexuals are free to do anytime they please.

marriage is a heterosexual tradition, yes. i understand this. i understand the whole view on procreation as well. blablabla. i've heard it all. there are plenty of gays who are actually against gay marriage because of the fact that its a heterosexual tradition.

but if we continue to base our morality and values on tradition, on convention, we will find ourselves at war. a war bigger than any missiles could create. a war that will destroy the human spirit and what its like to feel alive and strive for what you want and not allow social boundaries to keep you from that goal.

it is important that governments and religions adapt to the modern man. everyday there are less and less people who believe in living a 'righteous' life. perhaps its because now the term "life" has changed. over time a life's meaning can alter. people have become corrupt and tainted and there's a loss of innocence in this world. but the last thing a homosexual needs is some asshole head of gov't telling him he cant marry the person he loves. putting a restriction on something that has already been misused. divorce, good god it happens all the time. marriage is lessening in value. if gays are willing to travel to another state, another country, just to be legally married, i dont think their value of marriage is weak. i believe that they value marriage deeply, and that their fight for it expresses this. so, allowing them to marry legally is not going to lessen the value of marriage anymore than it has already devalued itself...it is going to open the door to more love in the world and less hate.

Seriously, your problem is you cant back anything you say with evidence or reason beyond your personal disgust. You further disrespect yourself by calling defenders of gay rights "gay". What the hell is with you, do you call people who defend affirmative action "black"? Grow the fuck up.

Drew puts the time and effort into his posts to properly explain out his thoughts, something which you seem to fail to be able to grasp. Just because you can come back with short homophobic tirades doesn't make you right. All you are doing now is enforcing the stereotype of Bible-banging Republicans who unwaveringly stand behind an issue without ever giving an intelligent reason. Honestly, I feel bad for all the conservatives out there that you are making a mockery of.

a gay wanting to get married is the same as a black guy wanting to join the kkk. They want access to a union that in no way supports them. they only want tax breaks. Go pay your fucking fucking taxes like everybody else you pillow biting queers.

The real question hre is, would Jesus call them "fruitcakes" and "fags"?

Not likely... Then again, you're catholic, so the Pope could just say he would and that would be that for you.

im sorry but you said people need to get over it and it's because of people like you that the world is the way it is: hateful.

you dont want to resolve anything. you dont want a world in which humanity acts as one species. instead, you encourage a world that descriminates its own kind, that shuts it out. you can ignore social problems all you want but i hope for your soul's sake that one day you wake up and have to deal with one yourself. and i hope that when it happens you change your approach in evaluating morality because at this rate your spirit will have no light left in it. no generosity or kindness. no forgiveness. no acceptness. and most of all no love.

your right i dont want to resolve anything, gay marriages has nothing to do with me, and if your not gay then it has nothing to do with you. As of it stands gay marriages are illegal is all states except maybe one or two that may allow civil unions. Like gay marriages arent even close to have anything to do with me. You think i am hateful or some ppl may say ignorant just because i dont agree with you? You and Drew are just fucking members on NS who cant do anything about gay marriages unless you vote right in the election. Democrats are taking over so theres your chance, you guys feeling cool trying to tell me off isnt going to solve anything. If you want to waste your time on an issue like gay marriages go ahead, theres more impotant issues then that cause me and you arent gay. How about abortion, when thousands of babies are being killed because some fucking couple didnt take the responsibility of using protection. Thats an issue worth fighting for because it effects everybody with a sex life, or how about global warming when as we know it the world might be doomed. Try fighting for issues that will benefit the greater part of society, since for godsakes abortion is murder but you rather waste your time with gay marriages. This guy drew, i dont know if hes "scene" or emo or whatever he is, but i'm not like that. I couldnt give two shits about gays or that lifestyle, if he cares so much move to san fransico and be one with the gay population, thats fine with me. But hes faggit ass isnt getting anywhere on NS.

If you don't care about gay marriage and it truly doesn't concern you, then why oppose it? With your logic, shouldn't you just let gays do what they want? Maybe we should just let gay people vote on gay marriage...

The greater part of the population is obvisouly not gay, so soooo many ppl, ecspecially older ppl of our parents generation just arent going to vote yes for gays. My parents always say when they were younger you just didnt say the world gay, it wasnt around, people kept it to themselves. So i'm sure eventually the media will brainwash the youth enough to agree with gays by the time our generation is ready to run for office. I'm still agianst it though, marriage is between a man and a women, let them get civil unions for the benfits, that makes 100% in my eyes.

yes cause the benefits of getting married could help so much, for health benefits through work, and claiming marriage on taxes. But then two fucking guys who are open with eachother could just act like they're married for the benfits, just like poor ppl claim random kids for there income taxes. But that will always happen and its besides the point. I'm not agreeing with marriages though, but they should get the same benefits cause they're ppl too, and i respect that.

dood.
everyone's problem with you is not that you have an opposing opinion. it's that you're rude and you use foul language towards people who mean no harm.

'faggot' by the way is spelled with an O. if you're going to use such a terrible word you might want to learn how to spell it correctly.

nobody in here had a problem with you until you started calling people names. you seem to be a very cold person. not nice and not warm. and definitely not approachable because you're so judgemental. thing is, it's fine if you're opposed to gay marriage. what's not fine is the words you've been using. the insults you throw at people. you need to calm down because at this point there is no point in getting so worked up.

calling people names only feeds the fire. why would you want to feed the fire? are you seeking rivalry?

im sorry im craving attention?!? what is with you and telling me im craving attention! that's how many times now you say that about me?! and simply because i post something. dude wake up!

ok so because im posting something...it means...im craving attention. interesting.

and because im standing up for the people in here you keep insulting, aka myself and many others, im craving attention.

fine if that's how you look at it then so be it. that is your own view of the situation and of me. quite frankly i cant take anything you think about me seriously since you've been so wrong many times over when it comes to who u think i am.

the fact of the matter is, i never said anything to start this shit with you. weeks ago you insulted me in LM and now all of a sudden it's as though you've opened a window and you just keep letting the hatred towards me flow in. im sorry you feel that way about me. i was never rude to you until you were rude to me and because of that i am rather confused about the situation here and why you would feel the need to insult me or nit pick everything i say. i dont care if you dont plan on being approached by anybody on here, since when does that give you license to run around hating people. what are you 14? you gain pleasure by getting under people's skin? thats sad. and nobody is asking you to be fake but rather to have manners. what's wrong with being friendly? whats wrong with having a discussion in which opposing opinions can communicate instead of hate on each other for being different? life is so much sweeter when you're a happy and friendly person.
