...getting married? Honestly, I don't think it's any of our business whether gay people want to get married or not.Religious people claim that gay sex is an abomination, but guess what? whether they're married or not, they're going to be gay and they're going to be having sex with each otherSo why do people feel that their marriage is any less sacred if gay people can get married too?If they want to commit to each other by law, what is logically so wrong with that? how does it affect any one else but them?Except that not only Christian nations have "marriages""marriage" is not only a Christian concept.Meaning I don't want to hear "but the bible says" crapola."It is not the duty of religious people to judge others, but they are not going to sit by and just let things happen either"Aka: it's not the duty of religious people to judge others but we're not going to sit by and not judge either.--------------------------------------------------------So, if we're going to ban things that destroys the sanctity of a marriage between a man and a woman then let's ban divorce!

No clue, most people in this section I think will whole heartedly agree with you but not be able to answer your question because they don't know either.

I agree with u 1000% that IS the point that not many ppl not only religious ppl but other ppl who don't like gays say.

All I can offer is what my Mother told me when I asked her a very similar question. She told me that the bible says "Marriage" was a gift from God to Man and Woman. Therefore, marriage is for heterosexuals. As far as she is concerned, gays can be in committed relationships and share a committed "Union", but not marriage. I accept that, partly because she's my Mom and what are you gonna do? and partly because that's okay with me, I don't need to call my committed relationship a "marriage" when the phrase "committed union" works just as well for my partner and me. People are going to argue about semantics forever. Take the word "marriage" away and they'll just find something else to argue about. It's human nature.

These people are basing their beleifs of of the Bible which says marriage is between one MAN and one WOMAN. So there is nothing you can do to convice them if the Bible is there sole belief system. I personally don't care if they want to get married. Marriage should between TWO consenting adults. If you are a true follower of the Bible you will always find this an abomination. I think you have to see it from there point of view as well...if thats how they feel abt it thats them...i personally dont care whether gays want to get married...let them.~chai

A marriage is the union between a man and a woman. I know there is gay marriage. I know there is human to animal marriage. Before you jump down my throat, I am not comparing the marriage of a gay couple to the marriage of a human and a beast, BUT that is not what the sanctity of marriage was intended for. It was intended for two people, in love, of opposite sexes. There are plenty of straight people who should not be getting married either. The word "divorce" gives people an easy way out, and a lot of people don't take their vows seriously.As far as religious people claiming that gay sex is an abomination...it is. It is not the duty of religious people to judge others, but they are not going to sit by and just let things happen either. They are doing the right thing for standing up for what they believe, just like you are standing up for gay marriage, because you believe it should be ok.

That's fine Spinthia, but it only leaves the door open for more discrimination. People feel that if they allow gay people to be 'married' that they are approving our 'lifestyle'. (it's not a lifestyle just a life but hey I'm just using common terms)Religion, should have no effect on the government... But it does... They feel we 'devalue' their own marriages, by perverting it.I don't care though, I need no piece of paper, no official status, when I find that one person I wanna be with, be it man or a woman, I want the same label stamped to it.Can you imagine if they passed it so that people from different ethnic groups had to marry under a different title?Mixed Ethnic Union? Can't you see how insulting, how degrading it is, to be tossed a bone like this?P.S. to person above.Thing is, the government shouldn't enforce RELIGION. If the religious groups don't want to perform the 'ceremony' that's within their rights, but to deny us rights as PEOPLE is more than wrong, it's criminal...
