Every day, every moment, every hour Gays all over United State are protesting for right of
legalization of Gay marriage. California will soon pass a bill for right for the same sex
marriage. Mean while, two men that was living together for pass 5 years was finally exchanged
rings as husband and wife officiated by Anglican Priest in United state.
This is abnormal and is not a welcome issue to me.. These has become a global issue that one has
to be careful.

[quote]In Such Issues the religion plays the best role, to prevent people from misleeding the
society to the bad acts and forms. "
Since when does god judge who we are? I am no religious person, and maybe this is why I have my own
views about god. But i know that in many religous scriptures, dosen't it say that god believes
everyone is equal, no matter what your race, sex ect. So why all of a sudden when we love someone of
the same sex or are attracted to them, its a big issue?
And gay people in no way are misleading society, they don't force you to be like them, because they
themselves have no control over who they are. They are probally the most peaceful people that i
know, and in no way do they encourage bad acts.
And if the issue is that god WILL judge you, than why not let him judge, and leave all the so called
"punishment" of these people to him. And just let gay people be the way they are. As long as they
don't bother you in any way, they shouldn't concern people.
Same sex marriage should not even be an issue. Theres a million and one problems going on in this
world, and soceity is concerned about who is marrying who, when there are innocent people getting
killed in wars around the world, but yet people can't make big arguments against the government on
such issues.

I'm talking within the context of marriage not only being to grant couples legal rights but also
when they are blessed by God:
I must admit, even as someone who is gay but was raised Catholic, I struggle to understand the
religious argument of gay people acting on their homosexual feelings being morally wrong and by
extension gay marriage being wrong
For me religion is about showing love to everyone and not judging them. By refusing gays the choice
to marry you're judging them. Can't they just be free to make their own decision?
I would never agree with a law allowing gay people to marry in places of worship belonging to a
religion that disapproves of homosexuality. And surely no gay person would want to marry in a place
where they are not fully welcome. But There are churches that are completely accepting of
homosexuality, how can you justify refusing to let them receive a legally recognized blessing from
their God ?
For me what under pins the whole issue is that an individual being gay does no harm. Being gay isn't
contagious so we'll never get into a situation where there are no heterosexual people having babies
'naturally'.
And nobody would chose to be gay, it'd just be silly. Why would anyone want to risk loosing their
family's love, to face discrimination or even to be sentenced to death ?
So if somebody is something that causes no harm and wasn't even a choice of their own how is it fair
to persecute them, treat them as a lesser beings and refuse them their human rights?

I disagree with U my dear. Religion is not all about loving one another. Is far more than that. If
you see what is wrong and speak against it doesn't mean you are juging that indiviual. Right from
the on set of the world God dislike this ask. That is the main reason he destoryed one country in
the bible. If you read your bible very well u will understand what i'm talking.
Thesame sex marriage is abnoraml and i will never be part of the support. But i am not against
someone being a Gay or some other sexual interest. Is all about choice.

if it's all about choice then why can't a gay couple have the choice to do be blessed by their god?
if they aren't wanting to do it in your church
the Bible speaks directly against men sleeping with men and women sleeping with women and you're
fine with an individual making their own choice to do that but the Bible doesn't (to my knowledge
and at least not to the same extent) about not allowing gays to marry
what makes the choice to marry different from the 'choice' to be gay?
and if you are referring to Genesis 19 and the city of Sodom then the city is commended in Genesis
18, before any mention of anything that could betook as homosexuality and Lot offering his daughters
suggests his neighbors are heterosexual

It seems that we are looking at religion for the answers to this discussion. I think its important
to look at the rights arena to answer this.
At one level, we need to question the existence of this discussion in the human rights arena. In the
human rights perspective, this debate has been settled. As humans, we all have some fundamental
rights. and Right to live with dignity cannot be challenged. If my choice of companionship is not
harming you, then who can hurt my dignity by challenging my choice and calling it wrong?
I still wonder, what gives all of us the right to question each others choices of life, when their
choices are not interfering with our life. Would we stand it if someone was questioning us
blamingly about "what did you marry your husband/wife"? Wont we expect people to respect
our personal boundaries.
Lets think about this--Just because a person is gay/lesbian, does it give all of us an authority to
dissect his/her personal life?
Ending with a positive note, the queer movement is being celebrated in Delhi (India) on 29th June at
Cannaught Place. All are invited for the walk and celebrations.

honestly. i support gays and lesbians. it their choice so who are we to say its not right? nobody
asked us!! the government is just abusing its power to tell people who's right or wrong and how we
are supposed to behave and who to like. if you dont like it keep your mouth shut and dont bother to
try"counsling" because you are who you are and i think gays are entiltled to come out in the open
and enjoy the same rights as everybody else because if you look around they are not as much as a
minority everybody thinks they are they're everywhere quietly keeping themselves away from th
judgemental society we live in.

Marriage is the social and legal sanctioning of the relationship between two individuals.
Relationship between two individuals (irrespective of the sex of the partners) is based on love,
respect and trust. So marriage of the same sex cannot be wrong for every person has the right to
love and live with the person of his/ her choice.

The aim of marriage is for man and woman to come together as husband and wife not the other way
round. For this purpose that's why Marriage is unique. Without man and woman coming together.
Marriage can never be Unique. Now man and man, woman and woman in this case of marriage is no longer
unique. We are abusing the right of it. Irrespective of if we love the person or not, respect or
not, understanding or not. If we are not doing it in the right way, we are abusing the right of
marriage. And God is against that.

The Bible says many things besides homosexuality being forbidden, for example it sanctions slavery
(Exodus 21:7), it clearly says that those who work on Shabbat should be put to death (Exodus 35:2),
and the list could go on. So why don't these laws have to be followed as opposed to the one
forbidding a same-sex relationships?
Further as mentioned above the bible doesn't mention same sex marriage, it talks about relationships
between man and man/ woman and woman (" 'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is
detestable.'" ), so why is marriage the point where the line has to be drawn? If same-sex
relationships are allowed what difference does it make if same-sex couples also get married? How is
being married more sinful than living as a couple?
Also marriage is not the only institution that through out history was claimed to be institutions
set up by God. Monarchs frequently claimed that their power was granted to them by God. So should
all countries go back to being ruled by monarchs?
All the things that are forbidden in the Bible are a question of what a parson should choose. as
humans gained the ability to choose freely, thus God needs to give them guidance in what they
choose. You do not choose to be homosexual, you are born with it. How could you be born with
something that God the creator of all things didn't approve of?
Oh and about humanity dieing out due to gay marriage. Currently it is estimated that between 1% and
10% of the population is gay, now if we presume that by allowing gay marriage that number for some
reason would double that still would only be between 2% and 20%, which would still leave 80% of the
population to spawn offsprings.

But beyond all this I just don't get what business it is of anyone who other people get married to.
How does 2 man or 2 woman getting married influence anybody else’s life. Now if 2 people of the
same sex want to be married, as a religious person you can try to make them see the error of their
ways in order to save their soul from eternal damnation and the attached discomforts, but you can
not forbid them from getting married just as you can't forbid them to eat pork for example (or lets
admit it convince them on dozens of far more important issues) . Churches can regulate if they allow
certain practices because their members (presumably) joined of their own free will and can leave if
they which. This though doesn't apply to countries which are responsible to all their citizens not
just the majority. Especially in this case where the majority wouldn't be affected in any way by the
governments decision.

I strongly agree with U. They are born with the sydrome and there is nothing any body can do about
it. They love each other, care for each other and now is issue of getting married. Wow i don't think
getting married is the best thing. They can continue living their life the way they have been doing
all this while. I have meet some of them in my place and i have some as friends but i don't see any
thing wrong by been a Gay but i disagree gay marriage.

i dont think its an issue of wether gay marriage is "morally right" or not. it a question of wether
we can restrict marriage in this country. in the bill of rights there is a seperation of church and
state. you may not agree with gay marraige, but that does not give you the right to take away
someone elses right to marry who they love.
