We are talking about humans, and not animals!!! You can’t compare a marriage between a human being and an animal with the marriage of two men/women
The catholic church is against the same sex marriage because after the bible it's wrong...
but doesn't talk the bible also about
- loving the next more than myself
- respect other people
- and so on
so or u just pick sentences out, which u like, or u respect the whole context
Kristen
i am very sure you are too young to comment on issue like this, no offence but i think that some matters are better left for over 18yrs Adults to deal with.
Ca
I totally agree we are not talking about animals as in goat and dog, but animals called man. However i don't like commenting on issues like this, that does not mean i will for one minute try to reason with anyone supporting same sex marriage. Let me state here that its not about church or bible or Islam or any other faith, morality teaches that sex and marriage is reserved strictly between MAN & WOMAN anything outside that can be compared to goat and man.
This is my stand. Thank you

If someone wants to marry a "goat" am sure in your defination of MARALITY is fine because you will be "Respecting and Tolerating Them"?
MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN!

I only have one question for every person who thinks homosexuality is wrong.
WHY is it wrong?
Answer me that
Though it may say somewhere in the bible or some other holy text about man and wife being the only possible couples, think about atheists who don't believe in religion. Explain to them how it makes sense in any way.

Why do you refer to animals and goats and such. People who are gay are not called animals, they are human beings too. I think people are biased and too pre-judgemental. Look in this perspective, if you cared about someone dearly (man or woman) and you wanted to be with them and they were the opposite sex, society would say that was right or the correct way to go. but if someone married a person of the same sex, it would be deemed as wrong, but I feel that marriage is just a word, you do not have to be married to be together with the person you love, but even if you are married, you should be able to choose the person you want to marry, no matter the gendar, culture, and orientation. We are living in the 21st Century, the world has changed drastically since the 1900's and before then. We have to be open to new things, because if we are not, we will never accept one another as independent indiviauls. I feel that no matter what your preference is, you should be able to love and be with that person. Yes I said person, not a cow or a goat, we are talking about people here, like you and me.
I hope this helps open some people's eyes to new outlooks.

Same sex marriage is not a marriage, just it is only fictional life. The real meaning of marriage is to create a cell of family expecting to extend into community then into nation. So that things are what is beyond the meaning or marriage. But same sex don't know what kind of advantage is within. Does somebody tell me what its advantage is it?

I think it is useful to acknowledge that each of us can have a definition of "marriage" and "family". Everyone need not have the same defnition. Globally, countries are adopting the broader defintions of family.
For example, in India, the Domestic violnce Act also acknowledges the rights of partners living with each other even if not married. Gay couples can get married as thier is no law prohibiting the marriage per se.

I find this to be a riveting topic of discussion and I am really happy that we're all able to express our opinions, and hopefully, learn something as well.
I am a heterosexual male (with sound knowledge of molecular biology, genomics, and World religions) in support of same-sex marriage, and my main reason for this is very basic and elementary: homosexuality is a genetic predisposition governed by one or more genes on the X chromosome.
How can anyone, regardless of religious affiliation or sexual orientation, deny the physical proof that homosexuality is biological. It is simply just brain chemistry, the same way heterosexuality is just a chemical predisposition in the brain; and unlike certain other belief systems in life, we actaully have hard, physical proof of this.

It is common knowledge that there are approximately 3 billion letters in the human genome, roughly 97% of it is considered "junk" DNA, each human being shares 99.98% of the same DNA, and the four letters in the DNA alphabet - A, C, G and T - are used to carry the instructions for making all organisms. The difference in sexual orientation has to do with a difference in the sequences that affect the part of the brain that controls attraction. It is that simple.
I am straight and even though I have gay friends that won't make me become gay. I have no choice in my heterosexuality, and it would be nice if people could let me live my life and my country can allow me the right to marry any woman that I love and who loves me. I coudln't imagine a homosexual person telling me I'm evil or wrong because I like women; so why do some people insist on doing that to them.
I read somewhere on here about "different kinds of love". Well, at the expense of sounding unromantic, love is just a chemical reaction in your brain tied to emotions, experiences, and base attraction, the latter being a component of predisposition (pheremones). So, it is 100% possible for a man to love a man, or a woman to love a woman the same way in which a man and a woman might love each other. It isn't magic, it's biology.

I read that "God created marriage for the purpose of child bearing and families", and that "if same-geneder marriages are allowed, humans will die off". First off, people can create families without marriage. Again, it isn't magic. Marriage is a committment between two people and a family is a committment of two or more people to the group. Through friendships or adoption, people can create beautiful families that have nothing to do with marriage or blood relation (we're all 99.98% related anyways!).
Second, I don't know if people are aware of just how many people we have on this planet. Throughout the course of history, human population remained roughly constant, somwhere between 200-300 million people. Our population has spiked dramatically over the past few hundred years and it continues to increase. It's not as if homosexuality is something new, it's been around since heterosexuality. So maybe same-sex marriage won't "kill of" humans. Maybe same-sex marriage will allow the creation of more families through adoption (not every child is born into a family). Since we all now know that homosexuality is rooted in a predisposition (along with countless case studies of homosexual couples raising straight kids) maybe we can get over the negative stereotypes and focus on the real issues affecting marriage and family living (50% divorce rate, marital abuse, child abuse, etc).
I also read somewhere about humans getting married to animals... that isn't even on the same planet of discussion. We're talking about homo sapiens, not other animals. Through genetics we've learnt that there is no such thing as different "races", so the idea of "interracial" relationships is false, since there are no other "races". Likewise, L,G,B,T people are people too, so how can same-gender relationships be wrong?

I've noticed that a lot of people against same-sex marriage site their religious beliefs or morals as why they oppose the idea. I don't even see this as a religious issue, it's a social issue. With all due respect to what people may or may not believe, no one has the right to impose their belief system on anyone else. It's that simple. I know it's hard for some people to accept but not everyone believes what you do. If homosexuality was so bad maybe God wouldn't have made it a possibility in the genetic code of life (not just in homo sapiens, but throughout the animal kingdom).
As far as morals go, the idea that religion is the benchmark for morality given its history, seems oxymoronic at best, and I'm not even going to get into this because so many books have already been written on the subject.
We need to go beyond religions that are only a few thousand years old, or state laws that are only a few hundred years old, to what every single person who ever existed actually has in common, DNA.
We are the first generations to be able to decode the human genome. They couldn't do that when the religious texts of the world were written, so maybe we should accept the challenge as the first generation to provide true human rights for all people based on the amazing progress and growth we've been able to make over our history.
I would appreciate more conversation on the topic and any response to my post is greatly appreciated
