Gays?

Should gay marriage be legal? I say no!

Add New Argument

I haven't encountered a single person who came up with a compelling argument that gays should not be allowed to marry.

Until that happens (it almost certainly won't), there is no legitimate reason to oppose it. Gay marriage should be allowed.

Bc your apart of society that conforms to whatever looks or feels right! Society does not always make the smartest decisions, they even tend to be corrupt at times bc it is in at the end of the day people who just vote or go off of what they "feel" is right. And a "feeling" shouldn't make gay behavior acceptable

Sorry, you're confusing my position with the opposition to gay marriage.

I am not allowing gay marriage solely because it "feels" right to me. I can find no objective reason to oppose it, so why should I? Instead, I welcome it because people should be allowed to marry the person they love.

I care little about the popular opinion, or arguments from emotion. Not sure why you tried to put that argument against me.

Yes. To not allow it is discrimination which is illegal. Also it is based solely off religious law which, based on the US constitution, is illegal.

It's discrimination in general, but it's not morally or ethically acceptable to many, such as myself. I'll say it's wrong and you'll say it's right, but who are you/society to tell me what's right. Just like your probably thinking who am I to say its wrong....hope I didn't lose you there. What standards are you going off of??? Do you know how many other people honestly feel that their practice is right as well, such as pedophiles. Technically, we're discriminating against them as well! I think decisions like these, if allowed, open up doors for other things as well. Society is an evolving wave,!you know that as well. So you can't bet that it won't stop there, and the direction it's taking if evident of that.

Discrimination- denying one group of people the rights and liberties of another. This being said, not allowing it is outright 100% discrimination and wrong. Also this destroys your "were discriminating against pedophiles" argument. Molesting kids isn't a right it's a crime. Marriage is a right therefore should be available to ALL who seek it.

"Religion" to you, A relationship with God is what got us here. Its what originated our country. Hence, "one nation under God". I honestly think that is why America is a known as a leader to this world, as well as a nation that is feared and respected. Now, society is trying to establish themselves. I think even you could admit that society can be a joke/corrupt at times. Now, why go off of man made group whether than a god fearing country.

Our country was founded and religious freedom not Christianity.

"one nation under God".

That was added in 1953.

And good job at banning yourself.

It fits the full definition of a religion so it is one. Call it what you want but it's still an organized system with a doctrine. No, were a world leader because of A) military power B) money C) and inspiring history D) Our many freedoms and rights such as the right to MARRY. Nobody cares what religion we are. That has nothing to do with it. In fact, people see our lack of religious affiliation and in places, like the middle east, they hate it. I wrote a 6 page thesis paper on why we were founded as a secular nation/govt and NOT of any religion so I know what im talking about. None of our founders wanted our country based off Christianity. In fact many of them weren't even Christians, but deists, agnostics and some closet atheists. "under god" was added to the pledge during the communism scare as a result of the cold war because the government didn't want the us to look like the "godless communist" soviets. It is technically illegal according to the constitution. It violates separation of church and state. Not convinced were a pro secarity nation? Treaty of tripoli signed by John Adams- "the united states is in no way founded on the Christian religion".

Gay Marriage should be legal all over this planet. It harms no one.

Gay marriage should not be allowed.

How are you going to create a family tree with two people of the same gender. Yes there is adoption, but if you adopt then you won’t have the same germs as the child. The child will still be a part of the other family.

Gays may be humans, but sex life should be kept to themselves. No one needs to know about their sexual orientation.

Gay marriage has no making-sense reason or purpose.

Gay marriage should not be allowed.

Hello s:

What you say may be so.. Nonetheless, as long as RIGHTS come with marriage, and they surly do, the 14th Amendment to our vaunted Constitution says this:

"No state.... shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

In plain English that means if you have a right, EVERYBODY has that right.. Now, you can STRIP all the rights AWAY from conventional marriage, or you can obey the Constitution.. Name your poison.

Ain't freedom grand??
