It is hypocritical for a religious zealot to spout about homosexuality is wrong because the bible says so, and some even go as far as saying that gays should be killed, because the bible says so, while within the same few pages of the bible, it says that: shaving, eating shrimp (shellfish), polyester, and working on Saturdays are also abominations onto the Lord.

If they want to argue that gay marriage is wrong because the bible says so, then lets see them picket barber shops and the Red Lobster.

Let us not forget, the bible itself is wrought with contradictions.

Thou shalt not kill, is suddenly usurped with, “Thou shalt not kill, except for the gays, disobedient children, rape victims, women who don’t bow in church, prostitutes, and that village over there, go kill them, sell the children to slavery, and rape the virgins, call the rape marriage, it’ll be fine.”

Marriage is not a sacred institution. Not in a country with shows like “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette,” and “Who wants to Marry a Millionaire.”

Heterosexual marriage has a 50% divorce rate. A higher rate of spousal abuse, spousal rape, child abuse and child molestation.

Heterosexual marriage also has a high rate of extramarital affairs.

Now, I’m not saying marriage is bad. But, what I am saying, is that marriage is not sacred. It never was, it never will be. It is the union of two people , who want to be together, due to feelings of love for one another.

Let me put it this way:

Somewhere out there, two hormonal teenagers are having pre-martial sex. Right now. They’re doing the dirty, doing the do.

You didn’t know about it before. Your marriage or relationship was fine. Your credit score was fine.

But now that you know that two horny lovebirds are about to get their freak on, did your credit score plummet? Did you come down with some incurable disease?

No. Why? Because the choice of two people, who are in no way connected to you, has no bearing, or weight on your life.

Do the world a favor, and mind your own damn business.

You pro gay rights people really need to listen more. Just because people say no to gay marriage dosen’t mean they are anti-gay, that is your own ignorance that leads you to that conclusion.

And you non-homosexual gay rights activits really need to take your head uot of your asses and read, clearly and be open minded, not just say you are and think just because you are a gay rights activist that you are automatically right.

Those people who voted Yes on Prop 8 arent against gay-marriage, for the majority part, but for protecting a union that has been sacred for thousands of years. If you gay people want to have a similar union so be it. call it garried, have all the same rights. But dont make heterosexuals redefine what is theirs for a select few.

There is the olympics and for the handicap there is the special olympics.
See instead of having the normal athleats skip on one leg in order to make it fair for the ones with a handicap, they just made another event, called the special olympics with people who do have handicaps.
Pretty easy solution no ? and everybody is happy.

I have never met anyone with such small mindedness. Oh and Hector, to be quite honest: homosexual behavior IS normal. No it’s not the sacred “social norms” that many of us have been subjected in the past, but it doesn’t make it “wrong.” I’m a firm believer that you CAN be born gay, and if my 5 year old son decides he likes to wear dresses then by God let him wear dresses, who is it hurting? Absolutely no one. I’m tired of the homosexual community being persecuted against and feeling the need to hide their true sexuality. Marriage is a constitution that is said to be between a man and a woman because of RELIGIOUS affiliation, I believe the United States Constitution calls for separation of church and state — when are we going to start listening to that?

Marriage in the sense of the word varies greatly from culture to culture, religion to religion. There is no right definition because of this variation so why not accept a universal definition of “a union between two people in the bonds of love and commitment.”
Who gives two shits if they are the same sex? It changes nothing about the feelings between them nor the way it effects the rest of society.

Please, I’m just asking for every person regardless of sexual orientation to be able to stop calling their lovers “roommates” and finally having the equal opportunities that heterosexuals enjoy.

It truly saddens me that people like you can negate my vote.

2.Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3.Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4.Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5.Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6.Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.

7.Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8.Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in the world.

9.Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10.Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans
