Why do people not support marriage equality/gay marriage? I know a lot of people who think being gay is a sin, or whatever. I want to know WHY they think that. I know there's something about it in the bible, but there is always adoption. I know you say that children need a mom and a dad, but we don't outlaw single parent households. It makes no sense, to me, when people say they don't support gay marriage. I am 100% for marriage equality. I don't mean to start a war, though!

Well, I don't give a crap about how other people live their lives. I don't give a crap who other people marry. I just mind my own business, thank you, and don't go sticking my nose in everyones' lives. I stay out of things that don't involve me, whereas you think you can control the marriage of other people. That's just crappy - excuse the language. It just sucks that you think people are under your thumbs, just because you believe in something. Keep your opinions to yourself See More

Okay, first of all, a question is to be answered with an honest personal thought, or a.k.a, an opinion, is it not? And no one here is forcing religion onto you. Just as you make science references, we make Christian references. And good for you, you shouldn't interfere with peoples' lives. Great news. But that means you can't different beliefs.

I said NO ONE HERE. I'm glad your cousin got baptized, yay. But I was talking on here. And I'm not interfering with their lives. It's simply a belief I have.

Oh no, in church, when my cousin was baptized, (I was forced to go XP ) the pastor made everyone promise to teach Nehemiah (the cousin) that Christianity is true. If that's not shoving religion down her throat, then I don't know WHAT is.

There's:

Christians
Atheists
Buddhists
Muslims
Mormons


And other religions that don't believe in gay marriage. It's called an "opinion". Something you have that you get judged on recently these days. Don't go around saying: "The Bible says it's wrong,". There's a lot of stuff the Bible says is wrong and you still do it. You just don't want to judged by anyone else and blame it on the bible. See More

I support it because:

3. Of the many, many other religions there are, just one of them shouldn't be able to control who others marry. (@Markimoo I understand your comment but I am talking about the Christians who don't support it :P )

people are against gay marriage becuase they think that people were MADE to be attracted to the opposite sex, when that is not always the case. Some people are naturally born gay. It's not a disorder AT ALL. That might be caused by maybe the child's parents maybe beating eachother up and that takes affect on their mental health. Sometimes it is caused by having a bad relationship with the opposite sex and giving up. if that's the case then why can people just make fuin of them? See More

just to start this off, I am 100% for gay marriage. so this is what i think. from my experience with society people like normality. they like things that are familiar to them. and so when people see different things they become scared and defensive, take for example the salem witch trials. people would burn others because they were scared. that or people are total a-holes and have no empathy.
