What does it matter If 2 people of the same sex wants to marry….they deserve to experience getting married just like anyone else….it’s not directly effecting anyone else’s life !!!

Considering how many people get married outside of any organized religion these days…why should religion still matter in respect to any marriage, let alone gay marriage?
Those quoting or touting the bible need to remember: it’s a book. That’s it.
Many use the bible to spew hatred, but I can guarantee that most don’t follow ALL of the teachings of the bible, only the ones they feel justify their bigotry.
If these women are in love, good for them and the more power and happiness to them!

Honestly, if someone wants to be with someone, why on earth would it matter? I know gays that are religious, so why cant they call it marriage? People want to call “normal” pairings “marriage”, but gay pairings “civil union”…why cant they call it marriage? If they wanna go to a church and proclaim their love they should have as much right to do so as I do to go to a church and proclaim my love for my husband to be. Why should sexual orientation matter. Yes, God says that it is a sin for a man to lay in bed with another man, but he also says to love everyone equally. The bible is old and outdated and should be taken as a way of life instead of belittling others. I went to a Catholic school…I knew a few people who went there who were gay and they were accepted because the times have changed and people are more open with their orientation and way of life. But honestly, if you have a problem with it, dont look. By the way, I live in Canada where love can be proclaimed anywhere by anyone.

When you fall in love, it’s your head & heart that is involved, not the other persons body or looks. Homophobes will always make sure they are involved with the opposite sex, even if their true love is of the same sex (which they would vehemently deny, going to extraordinary lengths to “prove” they are not “homos”). I think everyone has the right to marry whomever, and to have it legally defined, so that each of them are entitled to everything marriage entails, the rights and privledges (sp?) of being a spouse.

Separate church and state: marriage in the church, civil union without the church. Goes for everyone regardless of parings. Simple and doesn’t offend the church folk by ‘soiling’ their word.

In what way does same sex marriage affect you personally? NONE. Leave them be and let them get married. I am postivie that the world has much bigger issues than gay marriage….and did god ask you to talk for him? I am sick of these churches and ppl getting all up tight about gay marriage but its ok for a priest to touch children….oh sorry, its “frowned upon”.

Marriage acknowledged by the state is a legal contract people. Marriage in any church is defined by the church. Churches of ANY type should not define legal rights and obligations. Can we please stop throwing God into conversations about law? People would love for law to be based on their religious beliefs, but boy would they be pissed if the law didn’t choose their religion to follow. So it’s defined by god, but only MY god and no one else’s god, and if we disagree about whose god is right and whose is wrong we can what? Have another crusade? I have news for you… Christians didn’t invent marriage contracts. Its been around longer than Christian god, and in lots of cultures who have never heard of any gad at all.

Where did the concept of marriage come from? It was instituted and ordered by God (the one true God not a man made god). Some state or government did not come up with the idea, therefore you can not remove God from marriage otherwise you do not have a marriage you only have mans attempt of being there own god. As God ordaned marriage it is only between one man and one woman there is no other way. I cannot force anyone to believe the truth, but just because you do not listen and believe the truth it does not change the fact it is still the truth.

If two aethiests can get married, God is not in the mix in that one for sure! So why are we bringing religion into this debate? So I’m not seeing how it is going to affect me if gays want to get married. They are already in a relationship, my objection isn’t going to stop them from being gay. What is the big deal anyway?

For those of you who are against same sex marriage, the bible defines marriage as between one woman and one man. But it also says that a man can have many wives, as well as mistresses, and that the wife is to be obedient and even give permission for said mistresses. So, how would you feel if your husband came home with a couple more wives? Guys, how would you feel cheating on your wife and saying it was “God’s will”? Yeah, I didn’t think you’d be ok with it. The bible also says that you should not masturbate, pierce any parts of your body, or get tattoos, but I’ve seen more than my fair share of so called Christians who do these things. Still think you’re being a good Christian by bashing gays and denying their rights? What’s that saying? “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone?”

You don’t like gay marriages? Don’t have one. No one is making you watch. No one is making you be gay or act gay. And don’t try to define someone else’s relationship with God. If someone believes God loves them for who they are, who are you to tell them that it’s not possible?

And BTW, Taatee Cakes, screw off. I’m bisexual and I’m attractive. Trust me, most women won’t waste their time with a piece like you.

I’m sick of hearing people criticize religion for not supporting gay marriage. At the very least, it’s hypocritical to criticise a minority group for not believing what you believe. At the very worst, it’s trying to deflect the hatred that people have for homosexuality onto another hated group (don’t pick on me, pick on him!)In actual fact, the majority of religious people support gay marriage. Almost the same percentage as non-religious people. So it’s clear to me, and any other intelligent being, that religion is not the factor you should be aiming at. Bigotry comes in every flavour.

Two fugly dyke whales with a daughter?! Questions:
1.which one actually gave birth to that melon headed kid?
2. what self-loathing pitiful male impregnated either of these two hideous morbidly obese pigs?
3. which one is the wife and which one is the husband (ignore melon head’s sign; you only get one mother in life)?

only fat/ugly/smelly/stupid women should be allowed to be queer; normal sized, well-groomed, attractive, intelligent women should be required to be normal heterosexual

Actually, I agree with myname.

Let the state give out civil unions – not just to gay couples, but to everybody – and save marriage for the church, philosophical group, civic group, etc. that wants to define it. Whether you like it or not, the word “marriage” is loaded with religious and cultural implications that are beyond what government should be dictating, and had those implications long before any state recognized freedom of religion. So let the state that DOES (ostensibly) recognize freedom of religion get its hands off “marriage,” and define the civil union, equal for all.

deeznuts… you do NOT have to get married by a priest. And for thousands of years women were second class humans… aAnd for thousands of years we did not fly to Mars… things change. Noticed? And to have kids you need an egg and a sperm… but not necessarily a man and a woman in flesh doing it!!! So get over it. To live and let live. Just because I am on a diet I can’t ask you to not eat fast food…

I love how a guy named gspotfinder is worried calling a civil union a marriage….

I don’t understand why we can’t have the legal process you go through called a civil union, and you have your marriage ceremony in a church. It’s completely ridiculous that two people who choose to spend their lives together can’t get equal legal rights because of their orientation. The only people with issues about gay marriage are jesus freaks, so keep “marriage” in church, but let’s all have equal rights. I find it very difficult to take people seriously when they talk about the sanctity of marriage when most people doing the preaching are divorced anyway…

Shame on you DeezNuts. You have to get married by a priest? Really? So all the marriages done at the courthouse, non-catholic churches, wedding chapels in Vegas, Reno, and etc aren’t real? They have sperm banks, surrogate mothers, and “test tube” babies. The times are changing, get with the program!

I support the LGBT community and Love.

ok this debate is pointless. who cares? really are you people that bored with your lives that yu have to have an opinion on such a stupid topic. If they ant to marry then go ahead. if they ant to divorce again go ahead. doesn’t matter since the government never listens and people can go to a place where they can be married (i.e. Canada, Europe, etc.) having an opinion on this just shows that you are either an idiot or a coward. wake up and have some apathy.

deeznuts — Sun, 12 Aug 2012 12:54:57 +0000

The idea of marriage has been for thousands of years as a man, and women. Also, you have to get married by a priest. To have kids, you need one man, and one woman. The proof is in the math.

This kind of stuff is obviously for attention.

What most people fail to realize is that there are two aspects of marriage. One is a religious ceremony in which the state should have no say. The other is a civil contract between two adults in which religion should have no say. Only if the couple wish to obtain the protections under law which the civil contract provides should a license be required. As concerns the religious ceremony, it should be up to the particular denomination as to whether or not they wish to perform same-gender ceremonies.

i don’t know what denverman is rambling on about, but it really has nothing to do with the subject at hand. bottom line: they pay their taxes, they are as american as anyone, they should have the same rights to be married. not having that right deprives them of basic rights such as having the right to be with their loved ones at the time of death if the family disapproves. this is so horribly wrong!

Shouldn’t we have equal rights? Absolutely!!! You have the right to whine and bitch about how your Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches have answered your question time and time again: NO you may not have a legal marriage!

In the same manner those branches have denied: Legalizing numerous mind-altering drugs, underage marriage, underage drinking, overage driving, how fast you are allowed to drive, and a long list of things considered to be for the greater good.

You made your request, the goverment said no, and it’s time to move on.

Note: See how this response had nothing to do with Religion or any other filter. You don’t like the answer the government gives you? Buy a one way ticket somewhere else!!!

Why can’t gay people be as miserable as straight people? Long as the laws make it so the separation between church & state isn’t violated – and that means, BTW, that the STATE cannot interfere with the church, not the other way around – let same sex marriage be legal. God loves us all unconditionally and anyone who says different does not really believe in God, they think they are God.

I do not believe in God, yet I am married. My marriage has nothing to do with religion, and I find it offensive that it is being forced on me. So if mine doesn’t, why aren’t people offended? Let homosexuals get married — if you have faith in God, you’ll let God sort it out. Perhaps religious people should care more about their high divorce rate than gay marriage.

I agree with Psych. Most countries require a civil ceremony, but the couple may – and generally does – follow with a religious one. The civil ceremony by itself is enough in the eyes of the law, and would allow “domestic partners” without the churches getting into it.

I think it’s crazy that we live in the country of “Land of the Free” but people of the same sex are not allowed to marry. And in response Pysch, it’s religion that should be taken out of marriage. Marriage is the union of two people that should be in love. I don’t see where religion ties into this. I don’t need religion to marry the one I love and these two people should be allowed to marry.

Two people are in love and want to get married. What difference is it if it’s a man and a woman, a man and a man or a woman and a woman? Happiness and love is equal for all people, regardless of their orientation.

I think the problem is in the fact that marriage is one of the only cases in which we allow the mixing of church and state. I say, get the state out of the business of marriage, which is a culturally and religiously loaded concept, and let different people define marriage differently.
