Opinion On Same-Sex Marriage

[Donestk]

Same-Sex Marriage where 2 people from same gender can legally marry is a thing in the world, according to Wikipedia only 29 out of 195 countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-sex_marriage,
My opinion on it, is that its wrong that it shouldnt be legal in the world and be practiced. In religious views, God made a man and a woman, only they can be in a relationship together. This same-sex marriage defines, the original purpose of the man and woman, where's the child going to be? no where, due to same-sex marriage, the idea of you can love whoever you want is fundamentally wrong, cause God made a man and a woman for a reason with both their own purposes.

Im interested in hearing everyone's opinion on this topic.

I couldn't care less, so long as the relationship between the two is sound. Even then, it's not really any of my - or anyone's business.

I agree with you, its not our business of course. Though the government can change things like that. If it doesnt affect us in our daily lives then theres nothing to discuss about this topic

Why should religion have anything to do with government?

God made a man and a woman,

Which God? Proof?

There's much, much more to relationships than baby making. Also, adoption and surrogacy/sperm donation are things, and a gay couple composed of a trans person and a cis person wouldn't even necessarily need either of those. Also, should the elderly and infertile be unable to be married also, by your logic? Should people who just want to be together, without any intention of childrearing, be unable to get married? How would you enforce that?

Also, I'll add that there are many religions, and even interpretations within said religion. So don't expect people to share same religious views.

Precisely. There is not much to discuss - apart from opinions on the matter, admittedly. Still, not a fan of marriage anyway, but each to their own.

Talking about in terms of Christianity.

I dont mean like that if you get married, you have to have child no its the couples decision.

And why should that have any bearing on law?

So, if they don't need to have children, what's the problem?

He asks because if we don't, then we'll have another "On Blaming Religion for Trump" or "Is There a God?", the shitstorm the latter of which caused is visible just below this post and sitting at 97 pages of back-and-forth and counting. We probably should avert that, and the only way to do that is to lock the thread before it gets going.

[Telconi]

It ought to be up to the church or institution that performs the marriage. Civil marriage ought to be abolished as a concept altogether.

Just that the whole idea of same-sex marriage is wrong, it doesnt look right to be honest. Its just my opinion in end of the day and you have yours

[Andsed]

I fully support legalizing it. Don't see much point in denying someone marriage because they happen to share genitals. As for the religious aspect. We could always simply remove legal benefits from marriage and leave it as a purely ceremonial thing.

Oh I didnt see that but I would agree with you, lets wrap this forum up.

[The Emerald Legion]

I don't care. Go ahead and marry whoever you want.

[Cannot think of a name]

I reject the idea that my opinion even matters in regards to people who will never meet me or do me any harm whatsoever arranging their lives however they see fit. In so much as I want a just as possible society, I don’t want them denied the rights and protections that heterosexual couples can get, especially on religious grounds. On a personal level, the happiness that those who I do know that are in a same sex marriage have is not something I would ever dare to take away from them.

What makes it wrong? What do you mean by "doesn't look right?"

Two men wanna be miserable with each other instead of miserable with a woman? Go ahead.

Religion should not interfere, just let people make love

I'm somewhat an advocate for abolishing marriage (ie: the state doesn't recognize any marriages), however there are a lot of benefits when it comes to marriage, children who grow up with married parents tend to be more academically successful because they have more stable financial and social lives at home. When we look at the origins of marriage it's not really about love but more of an investment you put your children into, I think we've in the modern day tried to make marriage something it was originally never supposed to be.

[Asle Leopolka]

Should be legal. Next question.
