Do you believe that it is right or wrong for a man and a man to marry or a woman and a woman to marry? What's your opinion on homosexuality?
 
I don't think that anybody has the right to question this - its equality at its most testing. If somebody tells me that being gay is wrong, then I just say to them that I have every right to live my life the way that person does.



Religion doesn't have the right to dictate to me how I live my life, and neither does anybody that follows it. I have no issue with anybody that practices religion, or a black person that marries a white person...



Equality = The way forward in my opinion!
 
I have no issue with it at all. You be with/love/marry whoever you want as far as I'm concerned.

Co-sign. No one has the right to say its wrong. In the end its their decision.
 
I believe it is wrong for the same sex to be together & to get married. But, before I am attacked, I have no problem with homosexual people as individuals, even though I'm against their orientation. Why? One, partially spiritual beliefs, and two, I personally believe male and female were destined to be together. As far as same sex marriage is concerned, I'm totally against it, but hear me out. First, marriage is between a male and a female. Second, if the same sex desires to get married, then that would corrupt the meaning of marriage, as it is between two members of the opposite sex. If they use another word for their bonding & relationship status, I could care less if they're going to be together.
 
Well actually I used to be a homophobe, then I was alright with it. Then i found out i was one of them.Yes it's true ladies, gentlemen and Off Topix mascot, i am in fact gay myself like wayne. I personally think that god doesn't have a problem with gay people at all, and i think that it is in fact a secret test. God wants to see if people are okay with gay people. I mean come on people! we were born this way, it isn't our fault!!

Only gay people fully understand what gay people go through.

Next i have always belived in equality (i'm always making sure i have the same amount of female and male playable characters in my game ideas) So if two guys or two girls want to get married, i say why not?



So no i don't think it's wrong, not anymore.

Here are a couple scriptures that conflict with that belief:

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
Leviticus 20:13 - If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
 
I believe that people should be able to marry who ever they want, man, woman, what ever, i respect their choices, unlike many other people in this world.
 
^ Did God write those scriptures?!

One day, equality will be complete, and gay people won't be subjugated. I completely respect anybody's opinion, providing it has a bit of substance, but that doesn't mean I have to like it

I like to be shown a reason why gay people should not marry that doesn't involve religious beliefs.



Also: the meaning behind marriage has long since been corrupted and made into a joke so let's not act like gay couples would make a mockery of it when celebrities and quickie Las Vegas weddings alongside the 50 or so percent divorce rate have done a good enough job of that on their own.
 
straight people have made marriage into more of a joke than gay people could if they tried. think about it like this: there is nothing wrong with two people who love each other getting married. or has this changed since the last time I looked?
 
Since marriage is a Christian and - by most accounts - homophobic ritual, I personally don't see why any gay person would want to get married.

However, I've nothing against homosexuals. They couldn't change their feelings even if they tried, so who am I to judge?
 
You dont have to have a Christian ceremony. I'm straight and my wedding wont have any religion in it.

Agreed.



And I don't think so marriage is exclusively a Christian practice. Other religions and beliefs do also state the importance of marriage.
 
Nobody can truley understand unless your gay yourself. No one knows what it's like to be shunned by society all becuase you were born to like the same gender.

Think of it this way straight fellows, What if someone didn't allow you to get married to your opposite other? wouldn't you be mad or sad?



Jonathan your an odd one, you have a good belief on marriage as I saw in another thread. But when it comes to homosexuals you just pass on it. Just like you said it's a bond of love, but I guess that doesn't always apply for you.



This world is so messed up.
 
By the same token, though, it would also suck to be shunned by society just because you like little children.

I'm not saying homosexuality is as bad as pedophilia (or bad at all), but I can understand why some people have difficulty accepting gay people. After all, there's only a thin line there between morally right and wrong.
 
When it really comes down to it, and you leave whatever deity you believe in out of it, homosexuality really isn't that wrong at all. But religion is what makes people think like homosexuals are disgusting, and somehow not human. Look at the Westboro Church, famous for their God Hates Fags campaign. They run around accusing gay people of being evil, horrible people, but in reality, they're the evil ones.

I thought God loves and accepts everyone.



Exactly what I was going to say. You beat me to it. Just goes to show how hypocritical christianity is.



I don't have a problem with same sex marriage. If they want to be together, let them.
