    What's your opinion on gay merriage? Personally I think it ok and should be allowed... Merriage is about love not gender!

    What's your opinion? Do you think it's ok? Why or why not? Justify your reasoning...

    Oops, my bad. ;)

    I never posted on the other thread, so here it goes. I have the same generic view as most people. Love knows no bounds, especially gender. Marriage is that final step in a couple's relationship and people of the homosexual variety shouldn't be excluded. Polygamy should also be allowed, so long as all members of the previous marriage give consent into including another member into the marriage. I draw the line at bestiality. Sorry furries.

    I think it should be allowed. My sister is gay, and it really offends her, as going to school, people will often start up conversations about her, it's about who you like not whether they have ovaries or not.

    IMO, you cant deny people human rights because of their sexual orientation. If men/women are gay and the feeling comes natural to them, it would be discriminating. Its as simple as that and needs practically no debating when you think about it.

    There is a problem with that style of thinking though. Where do you draw the line? What if a man wanted to marry his dog or a woman wanted to marry her lamp? If love knows no bounds, why can a man and a dog not be truly in love?

    IMO, all is fair in love and war.
    Everyone needs love and if they just happen to be gay and want to get married all the best to them. Sadly, im sure gay marriges work out alot better then stright ones in the long run

    I'm perfectly fine with it. You love who you love and if you want to marry them you should be allowed to.

    So true! :lol:

    I think the whole question about gay marriage is ridiculous! Why would you not allow certain people to get married? To me, marriage is about LOVE and commitment. It shouldn't be about what gender you are o_O also, legally it's just easier to be married. Why shouldn't you be able to be that, just because of you GENDER? lol, to me it's just so absurd that you wouldn't allow certain people to do something, and it makes me think about apartheid or something =0 maybe because I'm not a religious person at all, I don't really believe in any religion at all. So that thing about love is supposed to be between a man and a woman.. it's just an argument I can't understand. "Because God said so" - wtf? XD it's like saying: you can't wear that t-shirt! - why not? - because I said so..

    Basically, it's just; because someone once said (like, 2000 years ago) that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Yes, but that has been written in THAT time. We're in a different time now.. =0

    I personally think its none of my business. I know if I were homosexual i wouldnt want to be discriminated against. i dont have a problem with homosexuals. You can argue that God does not like it, but that was back in a time where many things werent accepted socially yet. We are a product of our environment, and socially we are way different than compared to back then.

    Whatever makes you happy is what I think is right.

    But you really should spell marriage right x3

    Love is what comes from the heart and soul, if a guy loves a guy he can do it, if a girl doesn't want to get boffed, but instead wants to be with a girl, fine by me.
    Gay marriages are alright, but, a woman marrying a lamp? i see no commitment in that.

    I think anyone should be allowed to marry anyone. I actually think that the law should call it "civil union" for everyone, even straight couples. That would make it the most equal for everyone :)

    I think it should be ok, right? I mean, why does it really matter who you love? Actually, I know several gay people, and they are really like normal people, except that their decision on their sexual orientation is different. It's basically a decision that is like any other, but this one is just a little more serious and controversial one :p

    I feel the same. Love is love, gender shouldn't be any sort of barrier.

    Marriage is what I'd call a basic human right. Denying anyone that for whatever reason is, IMO, a violation of that right.

    Bible pushers who are against gay marriage really need to come down to earth - what you're doing is infantile. An allegory for your predicament is a child who won't share the school's toy truck because he's afraid the other kid will 'play with it wrong'.
