Gay marriage is moral and should be legalized

First, gay marriage isn't the same kind of thing as single parenting but there are similarities which do bring them both onto this topic more so -- such as the fact that they are both a different way of having a family, (gay marriage with kid[s] isn't any more a family than single parenting is). I am against single parenting from the same perspective as gay marriage, but there are different reasons for single parenting such as the P1. From the web: 'Traditional = existing in or as part of a tradition; long-existing. Habitually done.' The vows at a normal, traditional wedding, says things like this: "I now pronounce you husband and wife" or "You may kiss the bride." Not that this is the most important argument, but what happens at a gay wedding: "You are now wife and wife, or...well, I just have to post this site! http://en.wikipedia.org... P2. For centuries, people have considered "marriage" along the lines of 'a man and a woman who come together,' most of the time not only because they love each other but because they want kids. This arises another situation: what will the gays do if they want kids? Adoption, the biggest option, is odd because not only does the adopted kid not know who his biological parents are, but he has two moms/dads who are married but cannot have sex. Say there's a boy who just got adopted by two [married] women. His only guidance will be from a gender that don't have the same interests or experiences as he. Imagine his life, other kids asking him about his dad, etc. Also there are many cases where a guy/girl has sex with someone and runs off, with the child, soon to get a gay marriage and put more questions and missing links into the child's life. Talking about legalization though, single parenting is, a lot of times, not a choice and that is a reason the government allows that. This is ALSO messed up and, like I said, I don't agree with it one bit, but gay marriage is a choice that could be devastating to a child and/or the people around them. P3. Again, money isn't the issue here and I stated my reason why I think being gay ruins the definition of marriage. Where does it help others? P4 I think it's not fair to people like me, who don't agree with this sort of marriage, that now we all have to assume that it's could be anybody getting married to anybody when you say the word 'marriage.' We all have to understand the consequences of allowing anybody to be gay because if we don't things will change dramatically, mostly bad changes that most Americans do not want. (Sorry, I was going to rebut that but I got sidetracked..!) P5. You say 'let them be themselves' and it makes me wonder if you care who/what people marry. I love dogs but that doesn't mean I should marry them. Even if they could talk and share feelings, dogs wouldn't be aloud to marry humans, and it's the same sort of thing with same-sex. It doesn't make sense. Don't Limit the Freedom to Marry Cats! P6. It says lots of times in the Bible that God hates evil and the immoral is evil. Being gay, according to God, IS immoral, but does that mean God hates the actual gay people? Not at all. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 clearly says 'Do not be deceived: neither sexually immoral... ...nor men who practice homosexuality.' But many verses also say 'God loves all.' I will argue with the statement that 'I am against gay marriage because of the Bible,' although I do believe the Bible is right at all times and evangelism is my ultimate goal; I say that our society will be forever changed because of legalizing this type of marriage. More hearts broken. The word 'marry' itself means 'to come together, join in form of marriage' but if you think about what happens afterwards, several OTHER words come to mind also: including 'divorce,' 'fights,' etc. Imagine the wide variety of crushes you will be able to have once the word 'gay' becomes normal. Imagine how much the divorce rates will go UP, and the numbers of which gender is more single, blah blah blah, and I don't want that for America's society. It's more than just love for the partner, it's love for the children, and that can't happen properly without a mother-father environment, for example it makes it easier for a kid to understand and relate to each gender with two distinct and diverse [opposite-sex] parents. When the children are young they go through development stages, from infancies needing motherhood to young boys needing a man to guide them and give masculine identity. http://www.openbible.info... R1. What you said about not knowing the people in the Bible's time's culture doesn't have to do with legalizing gay marriage everywhere and the PROBLEMS I have brought up about the concept. If you're really interested, the other verses in the Bible say obvious things about homosexual immorality so I believe God doesn't WANT gay to be allowed or done. R2. I want to make it CRYSTAL CLEAR that God does NOT hate or tempt anybody. He created us all and wants us to do NOT what man's laws say, and assuming God did create us, He also has the capacity to know what's ahead and what's right and wrong. Q1 God doesn't hate gays, like the Bible says. That's what I believe and yes, I did say that before. Q2. Harm: a). Homosexuals can sue people who are exercising their religious beliefs. Now this goes AGAINST everything you were saying about how Americans are free to practice religions, etc. b). Gays are NOT, like you said they WERE, a build to financial improvement in government. Did you know, in fact, that homosexuals don't live as long as heterosexuals? This means more health bills to pay. HIV/AIDS are common in the LGBT communities. c). Gay marriage means having the morals of the minority forced upon the majority. d). As I said, legalization of gay marriage would mean redefinition of 'marriage' in the first place and this new definition is also forced upon the majority (see A and C). e). Society can be harmed also with the fact that population goes down. with so many gay marriages. f). It exposes adopted children within potential homosexual unions to ridicule from others. I end with this question: where does the 'freedom to marry anyone' help our society?
