What my fellow Americans think about same-sex marriage?

Postby Acuastria » Thu Mar 15, 2012 7:48 pm

Personally I think that marriage should be between one man and one woman and that homosexuality is unnatural. But what do you guys and girls think about the issue?

As an American of an alternate sexuality, I fully support the institution of my right to marry who I damn well please, and call out all who do not support this as oppressors of civil liberty.

The objections to homosexual marriage are mostly a smokescreen to prevent the public from focusing on the 14 trillion dollar debt.

While it is indeed biological fact that heterosexuality is "natural", so are sexual feelings. But by this vague definition, schizophrenia would be a valid state of mind.

As a North American, I believe that same-sex marriage is good precisely for the fact that it is an abomination - for, if same-sex marriage is an abomination and yet it exists, does this not then open the road to other abominations, such as low-fat cheese which still tastes delicious, and dolphins with lasers implanted in their skulls, or possibly even Mohammedans who aren't ebil terrorisms?

I think marriage is dangerous since it's responsible for 100% of divorces and custody battles.

Think of the children, ban marriage.

I don't have an opinion either way, as I don't have a dog in the fight. But if a decision is made, on way or another it should be left to the states to decide.

Since I'm a Christian, I know that there's nothing at all wrong with homosexuality or same-sex marriage. So I'm all for it.

I personally do not agree with same-sex marriage. BUT I think that if America as a society is okay with same-sex couples it seems a little hypocritical to not allow them to marry.

Evil is a choice. Homosexuality isn't. God would not make beings that were inherently evil. Therefore, neither homosexuality nor gays are bad.

Homosexuality is also natural. You may ask your choice of species that engages in homosexual relations how 'natural' they think it is. You should note that includes non-Human species...

They only engage in it because it's encouraged by the world media.

Of course, if homosexuality were a choice, that wouldn't change anything. So the whole question is irrelevant.

As an American with many friends of alternate sexualities, I am all for the legal definition of marriage being expanded to comply with the "Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness" clause. In addition, I am against civil unions - They are a fallacy that promotes the "seperate but equal" mindset of which i heavily oppose. After all, look how well that worked out for racial minorities not too long ago?

Why is there no poll option for non-Americans? :(

That said, I believe government has no business in marriage. I have no problems at all with people from the same sex marrying each other.

Plus it means I can go to restaurants without hearing kids screaming, or fly on planes without screaming babies?

And within 18 years politicians will stop using THINK OF THE CHILDREN to justify inane and oppressive laws?

Where to I sign up for this?
