Should homosexuals have the right to marry?

Postby Wellerbania » Sun Apr 18, 2010 1:38 pm

I, for one say yes.
And no, I am not gay.
What's your opinion?

of course they should, its not a left-wing or right-wing issue, its a equality issue.

Yes, they should.

The Constitution supposedly assures everyone equal protection under the law, and yet we have differing legal states which are not equal. In America, at least, the right of homosexuals to marry is inevitable.

Agreed. I've never quite understood why people try to even present this kind of issue as partisan one way or the other. Equality shouldn't depend on a party.

I'm bisexual, and I don't particularly support marriage as an institution, but it is something that should be available to people who want to have a long-term relationship with people of the same sex.

Definitely. Why not? If you're opposed to gay marriage, don't marry a gay.

Yes, of course!

Sad times we live in... Would anyone question any of these?

Should blacks have the right to marry?

Should Jews have the right to marry?

In civil wedlock, yes.
In a Church, well, if the Church says no then it's a no.

Personally I think that Jesus would have been fine with it but the Church represents the views of millions and provided they're not imposing it on someone else then we should just allow them to say no to homosexuals as they would to any other non-christian as recognised by the state.

Yes, they should.

People did question those. Eventually, the answer was "yes".

(Although the question was more about interracial marriage, rather then just blacks.)

I can't say this is a topic that has come up much around here. I anticipate a wide spectrum of varying responses leading to productive, non-trollish debate.

NO.
Homosexuality is evil, immoral and a sin.

Yes. Why shouldn't they? Everything should have the right to marry if it wants to.

Yes, I know... Just to keep in line with the topic. Homosexuals already have the "right" to have a failed marriage with someone of a different sex. The question ought to be reframed as pertaining to same-sex marriage.

Everyone is a sinner, even straight couples are sinners. That's not the point.

And I am gay, but don't really want to marry at the moment, but legally? Yes they should. Should we make the church wed them? No.

Seperate the church and state, like the constitution tells us too.

:shock: Sin is a religion thing. Surely it's not your position to force your religion on myself for example, an Atheist. Surely shouldn't you be happy that I'm going to burn in hell?

i love it when people say" marriage is between a man and a women" what's that mean? Christianity didn't "invent" marriage, its been around for a long time, and gays were married in the past, what's the reasoning behind this lol.

My take (borrowing from above)

Postby Venetoland » Sun Apr 18, 2010 1:54 pm

OF COURSE they should!!!

If 2 people wanna be miserable, who am i to stop them? ;)
On the ? of civil v. religous- They ABSOLUTELY should have CIVIL marital rights, though churches shouldn't be compelled to sanction a marriage they find objectionable.
