From your paragraph of nonsense and pro-pedophilia bs, people like you are exactly why the Bible is correct remains absolute moral law. God created us all. Lesbians, homosexuals, bisexuals, "trans"-abominations; they are all susceptible to heterophobia, truthphobia and Christophobia. Morality in society is needed. Marriage and true love remains between a man and a woman.

What about single parents? its the same concept because the other wouldnt be around. So wouldnt it be better for them to have 2 parents of the same sex then only have the one?

Wrong. I grew up in a Christian family and although things may not be perfect, I've learnt right from wrong. Sex before marriage brings STIs, STDs which include hepatits and AIDS/HIV. That's a fact. "I'm not sure that growing up with religious nutjob republicans as parents is healthy for a child either, so this argument isn't valid." - says the subjective toxic demonic-crat who is a hypocrite who thinks what? Sex is good children? Age matters dumbass. You clearly have lost your mind and common sense. God wins. Lgbt is invalid and your arguments are invalid.

Can anybody against gay marriage make an intelligent comment without involving God in it? We are not required to believe in God in this country! If you start talking God, then my question will be -who's God? Yours? And how about mine? Who's God is right? Etc... This is the best about this country -God does not have legal rights here.

Religion is a large part of many of our country's laws. If you live in America and don't like it then move. If you don't live in America respect his/her opinions. Not just religion goes into it. I find watching two homosexuals making out like a normal couple in a public place disturbing and sick. I know many probably feel the same about straight people but that's just my opinion. Plus, I think it would really confuse children to see something like that.I'm against homosexuals and homosexual marriage but I believe such things are out of my hands and I shouldn't be violent or insulting with such things just because.

Im glad someone else finally realized the majority of our laws did come from the Bible and religion. Furthermore Ive seen far to many here claim using things from the bible to make laws is unconstitutional, well gee guess what that 1st amendment and every other right you have was endowed by your creator. So you now want to use god given rights to claim political atheism Wow just Wow does anyone think anymore? Yes we live in a free society, and yes you have freedom of religion to believe or not your chpice, but freedom of religion doesnt mean freedom from religion, you dont have the right to tell everyone else they cant use religion for morals and ethics since thats where they originated and theres nothing, NOTHING in the Constitution claiming that it simply says Congress shall make no laws for the establishment of a national religion (cant pick one over the other period. The more people bastardize facts and truth the worse things are going to get. Stop being so selfish, you already have everything you need to live free, stop trying to make it unfree for others. Humility isnt thinking less of yourself, its thinking of yourself less.

I can. I believe in Humans and Science.It is a genetic defect.Just like Myopia and mental retardation.But I'm not saying we should go murder all of the gays because they are genetic defects.Do you kill all of the people with glasses, because they are less genetically fortunate as you?NoI hear Hitler calling.Also. the word Marriage means faithful union of a man and a woman.Nothing religious about it.It is a word.

Thats easy, it not only violates many other peoples Constitutional rights as well as mine, but there is no Constitutional right to marriage, and even if there was they would have the same right I do to marry someone of the opposite sex, what they are asking for is a special right and according to the 14th amendment is unconstitutional. If you really want to know this isnt about rights at all, its about indoctrination and forced funding by taxation, you might want to check into the number of lawsuits against business that chose to not service gay weddings.

I utterly and irrefutably agree with your view. My concern has always been the emotional, social, mental and particularly the psychological wellbeing of the child. For instance, one growing up with two fathers would merely destroy their sense of belonging. Consider the bullies out there, those who do discriminate on the basis of one’s sexuality. Although I’m against discrimination, I think it’s undoubtedly wrong to be married to someone of the same gender as you. It does in fact mentally hurt a child, to the extent where their perspective on life is altered as they age, wishing they had two heterosexual parents. They themselves would begin to ponder on whether ‘Gay marriage’ and ‘Homosexuality’ is acceptable and serves as ‘normal’. It’s so sad to see that there is a significant rise in Gay marriages, somewhat indicating humankind has lost all respect for their true purpose and ultimately, for God. The Bible, a sacred text which all knowledge is derived from, acts as a source of teaching. This teaching encapsulates the wrongness of homosexuality and places emphasis on the fact that one will not be able to inherit the kingdom of God if they are homosexual. We all know this. Although one cannot rely on the Bible to teach them absolutely EVERYTHING about life as not all is contained, we must also have common sense and recognize that gay marriage is not natural. Despite the so-called ‘love’ that supposedly exists between the two so-called ‘lovers’ who are led to believe that one of them plays the role of a ‘girl’ whilst the other wears the pants, my point is: Gay marriage does not serve to fulfil the purpose of a real marriage which is PROCREATION. Adopting a child is far worse, bringing an innocent human-being into your life to illustrate and teach to them your own wrong-doings, consequently influencing them to view it as acceptable. Please man, where’s the brains.

Except that it's been proven that children of same sex partners have grown up happier and healthier. They are already predisposed to acceptance among other things. However, you are entitled to your own opinion, as am I and I don't think we should base our life's off of 2000+ year old texts that during the time people believed the world is flat, the moon produces it's own light, and that illness was due to evil spirits.

I see what you're thinking, but it's wrong. First of all, gay marriage solves part of the world's overpopulation problem. Instead of birthing children, gay couples adopt kids without homes. As for the "mental damage," in most gay couples, one person takes up the motherly role, and the other, fatherly. The world evolved to prepare for homosexuality, so this fills in the cracks. Yes, it says homosexuality is wrong in the Bible, but of centuries the Bible has been modified by untrustworthy people with different opinions. Nobody actually knows what the original copy said. Besides, God and the Bible and Heaven and everything like have not actually been proven. They might not even exist.

Wrong. It brings AIDs/HIV, STIs/STDs and Hepatitis. It doesn't fair well for the children nor will it bring anything productive. Marriage and true love is only between a man and a woman. To support "gay marriage" is to support pedophilia, bestiality and also the extinction of the human race plus you also support the murder of babies aka abortion. All of which are evil immoral actions. Humans are already dying of old age, disease, drugs, crime and fighting in wars, "gay marriage" will only increase the death rate and it already has. The basis of marriage is to allow a man and a woman who love each other to continue the human race by creating new life. God gave us the tools of procreation.

Being gay doesn't mean that they are the only people influencing the child's life. There might be aunts/uncles/grandparents of the opposite gender. Although the parents are the ones mostly raising the child, the child could also have another relative. That is totally based on individual families. I disagree with gay couples not being able to adopt because you can never know what the personalities are of the two individuals. They can still give the qualities of raising a healthy child.

Okay, I just have one question Mr. Republican08, how does a child whose mother dies, grow up do they grow up mentally hurt I guess so, even though my friend is very happy today, sure she will always miss her mother but she has a dad who loves her. My second dispute is that so many people have grown up in a household with two same sex parents and were not mentally hurt at all. Also what about parents who are divorced and the child lives with one parent yes they will be hurt about the divorce but they are perfectly fine probably,
Debate: How can gay marriage hurt any one?
Side: Doesnt hurt anyone

I would just like to say that I've grown up with my mom in one house with her husband, and my dad in another house with HIS husband. I would MUCH rather live with my dad and his husband, for they are better parents than my mom and stepdad. That's beside the point, though. What i'm actually saying is, how is growing up with two same sex parents going to mess up a child's mentality? I believe it messes with the child's mentality when he grows up with only ONE parent, or two divorced parents, making a child switch houses every week, as I do. I can honestly say that switching houses every week has hurt me more mentally than my gay dad ever has. As long as you are getting a proper raising, unlike you have, sir or ma'am, it really doesn't matter if your parental unit is gay, straight, bi, lesbian, transexual, transgender, or any other LGBT+ lifestyle. You are wrong.

Debate: How can gay marriage hurt any one?
Side: Hurts everyone?

I think the major point that everyone is missing is that few people would get married if it were not for the benefits attached to such a union. If you remove the benefits, would anyone wish to get married?Another point of issue, marriage is a religious icon. Why is the government issuing benefits based on the edicts of established religion? If people wish to get married or divorced, why does Uncle Sam or any of the 50 states really care?So to summarize, Gay marriage does hurt us. It hurts us by allowing the government to further violate the constitution by respecting the beliefs of established religion. I vote against Gay marriage and I vote against ANY form of marriage where two people must register their union with the government.Our forefathers fought against the stamp tax, yet 240 years later the constitution has been raped and the very laws we fought against have been slowly yoked around our necks.

"few people would get married if it were not for the benefits attached to such a union."I seriously doubt this. People get married for religious, cultural, and personal reasons. I think tax benefits and what have you are just an afterthought for most people."Gay marriage hurts us by allowing the government to further violate the constitution by respecting the beliefs of established religion."By this logic, all marriage hurts us.
Debate: How can gay marriage hurt any one?

Agreed. I personally think state governments should not be able to grant marriages and should only be able to grant civil unions to everyone. Marriages are too religious. The next best alternative is to allow gay marriage. But I agree that marriage does violate the constitution especially if religious reasons are used to bar certain people from entering marriages.

I am an aitheist and this is a DISbelieve in God. I am married but my marriage has nothing to do with religion.

Debate: How can gay marriage hurt any one?

I think the major point that everyone is missing is that few people would get married if it were not for the benefits attached to such a union. If you remove the benefits, would anyone wish to get married?Marriage began as a business arrangement to secure the merging of resources between two families (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage#European_marriages). It had no special religious significance. Many people today continue to have secular marriages.However, once the state started recognizing marriages, then things like tax breaks, parental rights, hospital visitation rights, judicial protections, etc became legal benefits. The church doesn't, has never, and will never give married couples these rights.To summarize, how does giving others rights take away your rights?
Debate: How can gay marriage hurt any one?
Side: Doesnt hurt anyone

Agreed. Marriage has its roots as a business arrangement. If you do want to start talking about marriages in the context of religious texts, you will even see it was about joining families or trading women for goats. Women were property and men were allowed to have multiple concubines, mistresses, etc. So I'm not sure saying "it has religious roots" is the best angle. Furthermore, even if it did "because we always did it that way" is not a valid reason to take away rights. . see e.g., women's and civil rights movements

Another point of issue, marriage is a religious icon.It's possible to marry before the state only, in which case religion has nothing to do with religion anymore. It hurts us by allowing the government to further violate the constitution by respecting the beliefs of established religion.Not letting gay people marry is a violation to the 14th amendment.AMENDMENT XIVSECTION 1.All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.If gay people cannot marry, they are deprived of a liberty that other citizens do have. Saying they cannot have this right is like saying they are not citizens, even though this Amendment clearly states "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States".

I did not marry for benefits. I married to share my life with my husband and make a family. A good marriage has quite a lot of sacrifice from both the husband and the wife. Pretty much most benefits (like being able to raise your own kids) have been screwed by this economy.

im getting married soon myself, and it is not for the benefits, i actually havent even bothered to find out what they are. it is also not for religion, my religion doesnt require getting legally married. it is so that i have somthing to show the world about my life. also, It hurts us by allowing the government to further violate the constitution by respecting the beliefs of established religion.the point of the constitution was so that we would have to respect the beliefs of other religions, instead of persecuting them. plus, the religion that the law is based primarily on (christianity) is against it, so how is supporting gay marriage supporting a religion?while i do support your statement about people should not have to register with the government to get married, i do think that it is good, otherwise people would have more than one spouse and get hurt more due to that.

Love is not an acceptable answer because that opens the flood gates to everything else. Would you exclude a brother or sister who wanted to get married?
