Gay Marriage & Religion

first of all, I am not a "bloody soppy student", I am a grown Mother of two, one almost your age! Second, I am not wiggling my way out of it, I gave you my answer. And what in the hell does "summat" mean. Never learned that one in school. But, then again I'm not a wet behind the ears kid either. Your not getting a fight out of me.

summat is slang for something. alot of northerners say it and it kinda caught on in text form and you wiggled your way out of it by not giving me an answer from the two options i gave trying to prove my point. and its just the kinda thing a student would do to get out of it! other than that how are ya my love, hope ya well

I am fine, thank you.

I never said I didn't agree with sexuality..that's not what I said...I DO NOT AGREE WITH SAME SEX MARRIAGE....Two people of the same sex...IMO, should NOT be married!!

Why?

Is it just me who thinks religious leaders (who usually are not allowed to marry), shouldn't dictate who we marry?

Well, you did actually, but I'll just take it as mixed-up wording.

There's just no justification behind not allowing the law to recognise the love of two healthy minded individuals who wish to share their love and assets with each other.

Why?

If you don't practice something yourself, why do you think you should have a say in what someone else practices.

What gives you the right to have even an opinion on what your neighbors do behind closed doors?

How does it effect you in your day to day life if 2 men are married and have the same rights and services as a man and a woman would recieve?

If you are not gay this subject doesn't have a impact on your day to day life what so ever.

Well, because i'am a Christian....not a perfect Christian mind you....lol however, i've never read anything in the Holy Bible that supports two people of the same sex entering into a union (marriage)but at the same time...I DO NOT think that our govt. should have a say in this matter....each and every american should be aloud to marry who they want....IMO!!!

First of all...I NEVER said I had any right to what ANYBODY does...did I? I gave my opinion....that's all....what I said was....our govt. SHOULDN'T have the RIGHT to tell americans who they can or can't marry...what gay people do in their day to day life..in NO way effects me, unless they do it in my home....don't put words in my mouth!!! I don't have to be a gay person to have an opinion about them, do I? Also....i'am an american...born in this country, just as my parents were....in case you didn't know....that gives ME, the God given RIGHT to have a say about ANY and EVERYTHING!!!! And el_tino said in his OP to discuss...and so that is what i'am doing...

NO, I didn't.....you must have misunderstood my words....I DO NOT THINK THAT THE u.s. govt. SHOULD HAVE A RIGHT TO TELL ANY AMERICAN...WHO THEY CAN OR CAN'T MARRY!!!! I simply feel that it is up to any american to marry WHOEVER they choose to marry....get it?

if you dont blieve in gay marriage and abortion, you are voting for the wrong candidate. and i am all for gay 'civil' unions, but not on a federal level. and our government is in evrybody's business when they shouldn't be.




agree, but give them the opportunity for a civil marriage and to share in their partners assets.




isn't civil unions of same sex couples recognized already in certain states? i do know it is in california.




it is her opinion. she can have plenty of say. she is not even bringing up what they do behind closed doors. wtf cares, i don't.
according to the law, they do not have the same rights as a man/woman would married. do i care? no. i have no dog in that fight, so why should i vote for such a thing if given the opportunity?
it has alot to do with our beliefs. we do not believe a man/man or woman/woman should be married. i ain't gonna fight about it, it is what it is.




President Bill Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act (Public Law 104-199) at 12:50 A.M. on 21 September 1996. It permitted any state to refuse recognition to any same-sex marriage performed in any other state. It also defined "marriage" as exclusively the union of one man and one woman for all purposes under federal law.
