Gay Marraige should be legal and accepted in all USA states.

>>With the full definination you gave,there are only 2 relevent tto this debate, 1 and 4. If you read them, they sound the same, but there is a big diffrence. Number 1 is a legal marraige between a man and woman. Number 4 is a an illeagal marriage between a man and woman, man and man, or woman and woman. That could only help my argument. The reason that it is not legal is because society does not want there to be gay marriages. >>IN the Christan Faith, there is only 1 Bible. In the bible, it says that a marraige should only be between a man and a woman. "And the LORD God said, 'It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.' Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And Adam said: 'This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.' Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed." First, this says nothing about marriage. Secondly, I thought that we lived in a country with freedom of religion. Why does the Bible have to tell us all what to do, Christians and non- Christians alike? I also was under the impression that there is a separation of Church and state in this coutry. There is no national religion, nor can our government create one. We should not be quoting the Bible in a debate about whether or not something should be legal. >>PLease elaborate on what you meen rather than saying why should we shun them from soceity. Ok, if you want to hear what my arguments mean, take a close look. I am arguing that we should give gay people the same rights as everyone elso who is not gay. We should not be distcriminating based upon sexual orientaion. The only reason that we discriminate is because it goes against some people's religion. However, if the gay person is not of that religion, then he/she should not have to follow its doctrine. If the gay person is not Christian, why should he/she follow the bible and do what the bible says? I thought I gave a very simple argument, that can be easliy followed. Sorry if you couldn't. >>Can a man and a woman have a natural baby? Can a homosexual couple have a natural baby? Why should we ban the from society, give facts How does the ability to have a natural baby mean anything? In todays world, you don't have to have a natural baby to be married. We don't ban gays from society. I did not say that. I said that gays are not given the same rights as other people, and this is correct. A gay person cannot marry someone of the same gender. Other people can. This is an example of how we do not give them some rights.
