First of all, I want to say that I do not have anything against gay; I am not saying kill them or if I see one I will not say that he or she is disgusting. I just think homosexuality is innately unnatural. If gay marriage will be allowed everywhere then it can have a huge impact on our society and the future generation. Children will be growing and thinking it is normal when a boy likes a boy and a girl likes a girl. In 1982, Americans were asked whether they think gay and lesbian relations are normal. 34 percent of them responded that it is “acceptable” and 52 percent said it was "not acceptable." In 2001, 40 percent of Americans said that homosexuality is “morally acceptable” and 53 percent answered that it is “morally wrong.” In 2008, 57 percent said that homosexuality is “acceptable” and 40 percent said it was not. Nowadays, in 2017 already 60 percent of Americans responded that gay or lesbian relations are "morally acceptable," and only 37 percent said they are "morally wrong." A lot of people already think it is normal to be gay and imagine what might happen in the future when gay marriage will be completely allowed? People who I talk about this always respond the same "THEY ARE PEOPLE, THEY HAVE HUMAN RIGHTS, AND THEY CAN LOVE WHOEVER THEY WANT TO.” Yes, love whoever you want to, any race, any nationality, and any age, but not the same gender! God created us in pairs; men with women and women with men, and that is it!

I completely understand that they are human beings and they have a right to love whoever they want to. However, their orientation is not acceptable. Gay people are not born this way. There is not even a scientific evidence for proving that they are born gay. A lot of researchers that have studied this case say that the environment and the genes affect the orientation of a person. Dr. Lisa Diamond, a top researcher with the American Psychological Association and lesbian activist has acknowledged that gays are not ‘born that way. Fr. Johannes Jacobse, founder of The American Orthodox Institute, supported Diamond’s point by saying "Sexuality desire is fluid, homosexual desire is not ‘hard-wired;’ that ‘born that way and can’t change’ is a myth; feelings don’t overrule volition (behavior is a choice, one does not need to act on every feeling — especially sexual feelings); the ‘born that way’ argument is political, not scientific; sexual orientation is subject to change among others.” Homosexuality is an illness that develops as a person grows. If you tell a child that loving the same gender is normal, the child will think so. Parents also play a big role in the development of a child as a person. If parents accept homosexuality then their child will to. Yes, sometimes children have a different view on a certain situation than their parents; however, they will still listen to their point and consider it. The things parents did not teach their child, the society will teach, and correct what does not fit their views.

It is amazing that a lot of children got adopted; they have a family now. I am really happy about it. However, these children will be growing and they will be accepting the homosexuality. More and more people will accept the unnatural orientation of gay people. As I said previously, homosexyality is an illness. It is like cancer; it develops, but if you notice it earlier, you can heal it. The same is with homosexuality. A person does not just become gay as he or she borns. His or her sexual orientation develops. It is fluid and it can change in people. Therefore, when parents notice the unnatural sexual orientation of their child they should talk to him, talk with experts like psychologists. When we are born we don’t know what is good or bad, what is right or wrong, what is normal and what is not. We learn as we grow. Close your eyes and imagine yourself on the place of a child whose parents are gays. Everyday you will wake up and see two men or women in bed, kissing and hugging each other. The people who think homosexuality is normal might think it is okay and you do not mind, “they are humans.” But just imagine. Imagine introducing your parents to other people. What will you say, “this is my dad and my…..dad” How do you know that children who got adopted are happy to have gay parents? Yes, they might be I do not know because they are humans just like us and they have rights, I totally agree. Of course, these kids question themselves, “why other children have a mother and a dad and I have two dads?” Because they are kids and as I said they are learning as they grow, they make their own conclusions. Or imagine your child being gay. Your son comes to you and says “mom, it is my boyfriend.” And again people who are for homosexuality might think I will support him and say it is okay. But do not forget one thing, you do not have a child yet. You were born from the love of your father and mother, from the love of a man and a women. If your dad fell in love with a man or your mom was with a woman, you would not be born. So you are okay if one day your dad comes to you and tell you and your mother, “daughter and wife, I fell in love with a man.” Will you be okay with that? When it actually happens to you, you will understand. Don’t lie to yourself. When something is about other people, in this case gays, it is okay, you say they have human rights. But when it is about you, no, you do not want your child to be gay or have gay parents. In order to understand other people you should put yourself in their shoes.

You are saying gay people should be equal to other human beings when Blacks and Muslims are still facing discrimination? Nowadays, people do not want to make colored people and Muslim as equal as us only because of the color of their skin and their religion, but are willing to make gays equal. Accepting homosexuality does not mean making gay people equal to others. Accepting it means making the world and its people anomalous. Everything has continuance. If you send all gays to an island in about 30 years all of them will die. Because there is no continuance in gay people. And now as more and more people accept homosexuality, especially children and teenagers--the future generation, and a lot of them become gay, there is a question appears "Is there continuance in the future?"

Marriage should be illegal. It gives women way too much power over men ;)

Hello I:

I agree with you... Homosexuality sucks.. And, if you wanna get RID of gay marriage, that's simple too.. All you gotta do is take away the RIGHTS that go along with marriage.. But, as long as RIGHTS are attached to marriage, gay people are Constitutionally ENTITLED to those rights...

It's about RIGHTS, and nothing more than RIGHTS... You DO believe in EQUAL rights, don't you?? Oh, you DON'T??? Well then.. There ya go..
