    My God is not your God, nor his God, or her God. If there's anything in common with every idea of a spiritual being it's that all that is asked of you is that you be the best human being possible. Some things can't be helped, and a lot of the wrong things are brought into focus instead of what should really be focused on. It's sad really.

    I think the point is that people who hate gays can,t come up with a good enough reason why. So they blame it on "something" that is really hard to prove if it's true or not. In this case god!

    Oh, don't worry. It's not like I would dream of wanting INDIVIDUAL rights. Just equal rights. That's the point. Because there are so many gay idiots out there who want individual rights as opposed to the rights of heterosexuality, and THAT'S not good.

    I know people have to get used to it, but let me tell you something Mr. Mikuro: This has been around since man has been around. They tried to not put up with it for long enough, and now that's surfacing, I'm not surprised some people are panicing. But some people are wasting there time, because it's not going to go away.

    And besides, it's MY business and the business of every other homosexual out there. People don't HAVE to make a big deal out of something that doesn't concern them.

    Personally, I'm all for the idea of Gay marriage. It's not like we should be able to deny them marriage just because of the way they are.

    To me it's almost like a person saying that blondes can't marry or those of Asian descent can't marry. Gays are people too. It's not like they have another arm in their chest or anything.

    Marriage seems more a legal ceremony these days. And even then, a couple walks down the aisle, says the vows, signs a document in front of witnesses to officiate the marriage and then onto the reception.

    Why deny a gay/lesbian couple the same joy and happiness to be with the one person they love until 'death do you part?' Just because of a book that contradicts itself every page and an equally hypocritical religion?

    -Gets off the subject of religion. Topic has too much of that already.-

    I say that gays and lesbians should have the right to get married the same as heterosexual couples.

    It shouldn't be this big of an issue. It's not like homosexuals are trying to convert everybody to "Gayism"(pardon my lameness =_=). It's ridiculus how far people will go to keep them from marrying, and it makes absolutely no sense to deny them this right. If it's because they're homophobic and they don't want to see two people of the same sex in a relationship, preventing gays from getting married doesn't stop them from being together, it only prevents them from making it official. It's not like it's of any concern to the public, it doesn't affect them in the slightest.

    It's probably been said a thousand times already on this thread, but "Don't support gay marriage? Don't marry one."

    If I interpretted that correctly, that's a bit extemist, dontcha think? Saying that straights are conforming to what is popular. That's the same thing being said about gays, only to the opposite extreme. It's not like people can choose who they fall in love with, because love is blind, they're just following what feels right to them (will my lameness ever stop!? XD). I get the feeling that I misunderstood what you were saying. If that's the case, please disregaurd this last paragraph ^^

    ^I agree. Such a topic doesn't really affect people unless people let it affect them. They can look the other way if they don't agree, I just don't want them to take it out on the gay community.
    I also agree about it not having to be such a big issue. But that could just be because I want to be able to be accepted within my lifetime..lol

    [RANT]You don't need an excuse, it really shouldn't be a big deal. I guess you could call me straight, but I don't like labels like that (but for the sake of argument, I'll use them), I'm a very open-minded person. I believe (please don't hurt me) that everyone is bi, but they have preferences. In other words every straight person is capable of having homosexual thoughts, just as every gay person is capable of having heterosexual thoughts, no matter how uncommonly they occur. All I'm saying is that it's possible, I still know that you don't have a choice of being primarily one or the other. So based off of my belief, it is stupid to deny someone their rights based off of personal preferences. It goes against what this Country (America) stands for. The first Amendment (no, I didn't memorize it) should have blown this topic out of question from since the nation began. Even if my theory is wrong, it's still unjust to deny people their rights.

    I've heard this theory many times before, and it makes sense to me. Did you know there's a scale that measures bisexuality from 1 to 7?

    1- Completely straight
    2- Somewhat straight
    3- Likes both, but moreso the opposite sex
    4- Likes both equally
    5- Likes both, but moreso the same sex
    6- Somewhat gay
    7- Completely gay

    But thank you, for saying I don't need an excuse. It means alot to hear that, you have no idea.

    I say it's wrong to be gay for the sake of people around you!

    and premaritial sex is worng too because what happends if they don't get married and then the girl has a baby. Espicially when they're like in high school and then the guys just leaves her! That ruins the baby!

    So that's my reason.

    For the people around you? What do you mean? Homosexuality doesn't affect anybody but the actual participants.

    And they invented condoms for a reason. BTW, my parents also had ME when they were in school. And look at me now! One of the smartest students in my school in the top 10%! I'm not exactly "ruined".

    Premarital sex isn't wrong. It's the participants choice, and if you don't wanna have sex till you're married, good luck to you.

    That aside, Gay's should be able to express their love for each other just like anyone else. If you have any problems, get over them.

    While Marriage has become very religious for a while. Isn't the base purpose of marriage to express one's love for another (Thats why Romeo and Juliet married the day after being with each other. They had a pure honest love). I may be biased being bisexual and all but you know what I hate people who judge and insult for the sake of it (they just hate non heterosexual people and say fear as an excuse).

    So in all honesty I despise vertain homophobics (because most pretend its fear when they are in trouble for harming a gay person but they really hate those people and it only takes on homophobe to get a group to attack someone), besides most homophobed have the fear that the gay person will like them (that is a bad case of narcissism on that person believing every person must love them even gays) when it usually isn't true.

    I'm still surprised that most think it is the flamboyant people who are gay (or motorbike ****s for lesbians) when it really can be the opposite (the popular jock could prefer men or a gorgeous cheerleeder is into women).

    Phew my thought are now online.

    Homosexuality is not harmful to anyone in anyway. What's harmful is the bigotry of people who hate and fear anything different from themselves.

    Sex before marriage, so long as it's protective sex, is not a bad thing. It's a good thing so that when you go into the marriage you actually know that side of your relationship too is going to work out. Why would someone not for religious reasons want to wait to know if they are compatible sexually or not? Body parts aren't all the same and also people's things that really get them going aren't the same. At least you know quite a few things if there's sex before marriage and you have a chance to spot weird things that turn you away or would make you run away before you have a ring on your finger and are bound.

    As for saying homosexual relations do anything to anyone...how? I am straight and could care less if a guy is kissing a guy or a girl is kissing a girl. It doesn't phase me in the least. If someone is gay and hits on me, they get the same answer as someone of the opposite gender gets if I'm not interested. If they don't take the hint, they probably get the same reaction too. People are too concerned as to what is going on in someone else's bedroom instead of paying attention to their own or something. I can seriously not see how either of these issues affects other people in the least but to say they get 'grossed out' because it's not their thing.
