Idell Dufort: If you are really their friends then you don't react at all. Just accept them as they are. I accept people no matter what, so other people could react differently. Im just giving you my opinion on the matter.
Floy Fague: Not I do not, because I have always believed that marriage is between a man and a woman, however I believe gays should be entitled to Civil Partnerships, essentially marriage by a different name. I'm from Canada and I'm gay so I could get married but its likely I wont. Also I don't think churches should ever be forced to marry gay people if its against their beliefs to do so.
Rivka Killmer: I'll explain it easily, so that even you can understand it.This is about ONE special interest group (homosexuals) wanting a special interest (same sex marriage) that's not available to every other member of society. That's not fair. If we are going to redefine marriage, then EVERYTHING must go for every special interest group that wishes it.! Even the homosexual agenda isn't willing to go for that.If you want to get into the specifics of the matter, I can show you point by point how each of your arguments is in error....Show more
Aron Ramu: I believe that gay people should have the opportunity to have their marriage accepted by the law, however, I do not believe that clergy should be required to marry gay people if it is in violation of their beliefs and the same goes for any judge who is asked to marry a gay couple but this is a violation of his beliefs.
Neely Youngblut: No.The practice of homosexuality is destructive to the human soul and God gave His warnings about this in the Bible. Supporting gay marriage is a sin because it means to support homosexuality. Iniquities (sinful tendencies) pass down the generation line if they are not removed by the Blood of the Lord Jesus. Homosexuality is caused by iniquity and the Blood of Jesus cleanses the iniquities of all who accept Him as their Saviour.Af! ter a person accepts the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, they are! transformed and made a new creature in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). So the gay person would be changed and so would the alcoholic, liar, drug addict, fornicator etc. It's the power of the Blood of Christ and the Holy Spirit in the believer that brings about this transformation.REDEMPTION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITHBecause mankind is incapable of meeting God’s standard of perfection necessary to abide in God’s presence (Romans 3:19-20,23), God sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the total debt for the believer’s sins and mercifully credits to his account Christ’s righteousness (Romans 3:21-28,5:1-11; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21). Jesus’ gracious act of atonement was complete and covers all sin (Colossians 2:13-14; 1 John 1:9). Salvation is not based on good deeds but according to the mercy of God (Titus 3:4-5). Believers are justified by faith; it is a gift by God’s grace (Romans 4:3-8; Ephesians 2:8-9). A true, living faith will result in a desire to live a holy, loving life! of good works (Ephesians 2:10; Galatians 5:6; James 2:14-26), but failure to be absolutely successful at righteous living does not negate the believer’s justified status.If you sincerely say this prayer, your sins will be washed away, you will be redeemed to God, be saved from eternal torment and inherit the Kingdom of God:"Dear Jesus, I am a sinner. I repent of my sins. Please forgive me and save me by your shed blood; come into my heart. I want to receive you as my own personal Lord and Savior. Amen"...Show more
Denna Prudente: Who else will the religious zealots pin blame on then?Gay marriage is a big taboo with these people because they have nothing better to do in their lives then impose their views to everyone. What they don't understand is this nation wasn't built on religious law; it had religious morale set as a foundation but that is the extent of it.If it were built by religious law we wouldn't have the law 'separation of church and state' now would we. ! What people of faith need to do is focus on themselves and the people t! hat actually believe in their faith. If they wanted to protect marriage so badly perhaps they should be spending time stopping marriages like that of Britney Spears' 36 hour stunt and actually helping those in troubled religious marriages some guidance.But that would actually be doing something, not b!tching about which they are only do good at doing....Show more
Tricia Dossous:
Giovanna Sherlin: Not to mention the supposed "separation of church and state" that people tend to forget when arguing about it. I'm totally baffled by this. It's a civic ceremony - nothing more or less. Just because some misguided heterosexuals want to spend thousands of dollars to also have this additional ceremony in a church, means nothing. It is a commitment of two people who want to share life together. Civil unions do not carry the same rights or benefits that civic marriage would. Keep fighting! Bret...Show more
Carter Edstrom: if u find out some of your friends are ! gay or les how do you react ?
Clement Viscarro: It's amazing how these questions which are loaded ALWAYS get around 15-20 answers.
Alexandria Popik: no thats hot! but it also depends on the guy too
Sammy Hatzenbihler: I wouldn't care.Actually, I might get a little closer to or more trusting of that friend, since we'd have something more in common.
Michelle Sohre: 3...2...1.... Deleted... Edit: Wow this question is still here. OK I'll answer. The issue for me is not about homosexuality as it is about marriage. Question. If marriage is extended to include homosexual unions why would marriage not include humans and animals or humans and inanimate objects? How far will the definition of marriage by stretched? Who can say what marriage is and isn't if that happens. Then how important will marriage be then? For a person who is single maybe marriage is no big deal but for those who are married marriage is very important. Marriage is about the promotion of l! ife and not the promotion of love. In ancient Greece the popular practi! ce was for men to marry women to have children but love and sex was meant between men. Marriage was about the promotion of life then as now. Love had nothing to do with it. If you study history many marriage had nothing to do with love but family and children. P.S. Please don't equate this with the Civil Right Struggle. They are not the same. Bedroom behavior will never equate to the something can't be hidden and being discriminated against because of it....Show more
Carter Dewater: Most of the time, since they're a FRIEND, you would already know anyway! It'd be cool to have another gay friend though.
Tyler Burkman: Yes. It's in no one's position to say that certain people can't have equal rights, so gay people who love another deserve the same rights to marry as straight people in love.
Vickie Sterbenz: Do you mean SEXY?
Nell Dipiero: I think homosexuals are just like everyone else. I'm homo and I'm just like everyone else. Being gay is just like be! ing straight, or bi. But if there's something that's different about homosexuals it is that they, especially the ones who have come out, are brave. It takes courage to accept that you are different. Even more courage is needed to say so, and be open about it. What I often find is that girls are more accepting towards gays while guys are more accepting towards lesbians. It's probably why gays tend to gravitate towards girls while lesbians gravitate towards men. I'm not an expert or anything but I think there's some truth to it.I would be pretty happy if I find out that some of my friends are gay. It takes a lot of courage, especially in some societies. I will definitely give them lots of support....Show more
Gordon Showes: no
Rashad Marecki: people are stupid we all know this and as much as i would to send al the stupid over zealous hypocritical Christians to an island and blow it up we must take into account that they don't understand homosexuality...therefore i! t scares them....have patience it will all pan out in the end
Kri! s Bozelle: Asking them to just forget about gay marriage is the same as asking them to forget about God, it's not going to happen. But I do agree with you.
Oda Mauson: I couldn't agree with you anymore. Surely their lives must suck!
Julienne Poplawski: I have always wondered why gays want to legally marry. Marriage these days usually leads to divorce and that usually puts the bread winner in the poor house.
Tawny Grosskreutz: yes i do everybody has a right to be who they want to be weather it be straight,gay,lesbian,bisexual, red white or blue we are all human beings and should be treated as such.
Alden Sabio: Yes I do because people should be allowed to marry any person they want, regardless of their gender. :)And legalizing gay marriage won't hurt families or take away rights. People who think that are lame and un-informed... >.
Ronny Nowzari: I had a friend ask me one time what I would say if she told me she liked other women. I told her as ! long as she didn't hit on me, I didn't have a problem with it. She never hit on me, and we remained friends for a long time until she moved to another city, and now we are more like acquaintances since our lives are so different now. Gays and lesbians generally value straight friends that don't dispose of them once they come out. They're treated like "lesser than" beings by so many people a lot of the time, so it means a lot to them if you accept them for who they are, and a good number of them will do their best to make sure you don't have a reason to feel uncomfortable around them....Show more
Ricardo Rozelle: Yes, I believe all people are equal and should not be discriminated against. When two people of the same gender decide to love and live with each other, they will, so their relationship will be there anyway. Legalizing it would protect their rights.
Carmina Stickney: no it takes freedoms away from families
Azzie Trembly: Yes. In my country, gay mar! riage was legalized in 2001. Since then, no one has died of it.Sometime! s I just don't understand why it is such a major issue in the States. My gay marriage won't make a straight marriage less valid....Show more
Ezekiel Kadner: I believe to each his own. I sat on a jury case where this couple had been together for 20 years and when one partner died the other partners family tried to step in and take all of their belongings and assets because they weren't married and didn't have joint ownership. They planned all their purchases together for 20 whole years. Needless to say we didn't rule in the deceased partners family's favor. If they had been legally married this wouldn't have happened. You don't have to believe in gay marriage but whats fair is fair....Show more
Delmy Varano: Well considering the fact that I like men I don't think it would be a big deal :)
Sylvie Snetting: Treat them like a person,which i think is something alot of people forget to do these days,at least to people who aren't part of the "norm"
Caryl Mc! laen: If you are not gay, why do you even care?If gay people can get married tomorrow, how will your life be impacted? Why are you so against it? The way I look at it, is that marriage is just a legal document. It is a piece of paper. Gay people are not asking to get married in your churches, by your priests. Your religious beliefs will not be compromised in any way. They will simply go to the justice of the peace.I dunno . . it seems cut and dry to me. I honestly don't see what the fuss is all about - just let gays marry already. It is a really basic concept. It will also generate income for each state too - because they will have to pay the license fee to get married just like everyone else.Anyway, if you are straight, why do you really care if someone else is gay and wants to marry? It won't affect your life at all. Is your life so horrible that you need to hate others?I actually can't believe this is 2010, almost, and we still think this is a big deal. Let t! hem marry already. DUH...Show more
Rebbecca Sorkin: guys look ga! y girls look like skanks
Darwin Ecton: I do support gay marriage. Because it is the right thing to do, it affirms gay people because their relationships are now equal to straights. It allows gay people to fall in love legitimately and be married to one another just as guy/girl couples have been doing for centuries. It provides a basis for allowing gay people to share in each others financial well being and work together for shared financial goals. It is not rare that two gay men or women to fall in love and work to share all of this anyway, what is rare is that the same tax breaks, and legal protections apply to them that apply to the rest of the people. Many gay people have not been allowed to inherit their partner's homes after their death. It is a crime to boot someone out after they have just suffered being widowed. What about having your family tell your partner they cannot see you when you are in the hospital dying from an injury. If you spend your life with th! em don't the couple deserve to say good bye? It is time (high time) for the debate to become WHY NOT? instead of WHY? to gay marriage. Let GLBT fall in love and be married, let them plan their retirements together, let Us have what you all take for granted, recognition of our love for each other. If you would deny me/us that, then why would you? We do it anyway, we live together anyway, we fight for the right to be just like you every day. We want the same things, jobs, money, to love and to be loved, to have fun and care for each other like you do....that is why I am for gay marriage....Show more
Rachal Osaki: You're kidding right? this is the LGBT section, hence most of us ARE gay.... Try asking this in the Religion section.

Inell Riesgo: definite homosexual Marriage is okay in case you're homosexual solutions on your checklist a million. that's that in case you're homosexual 2. on condition that they are homo! sexual interior the 1st place 2.putting around tall human beings will m! ake you tall.-- So why are there dwarfs to tall moms and dads and so on 3.loopy habit isn't in basic terms for homosexual human beings--loopy is ever the place 4. So have gays, women human beings are in basic terms factors in the event that they desire to be, Black and whites marry in maximum places ,divorce is legal in maximum places 5.on condition that they marry an identical intercourse spouse additionally 6.Many at once marriages don`t end with babies ,and every physique has the final to marry everybody they want in spite of the explanation. 7. So why are there homosexual babies to at once moms and dads, if at once moms and dads in basic terms develop at once babies then there are no longer any gays around. Or are gays from homosexual moms and dads whom you say can`t produce babies. 8. No because of the fact the church homes spend plenty time protecting up the homosexual relationships the preists are having. 9. there are literally hundreds of babies from one determine f! amiles that do all right for them selves ,and why then do greater gays seem to have bigger paying jobs and greater money than a great variety of at once human beings 10.Gays have been around an extremely long term ans society foundations are nonetheless sturdy what is going to replace the society foundations would be bigots, racists, And the un counseled like your self. and that i think of sooner or later get out of your ego and flow out factor and notice that the international is replaced alot considering the fact which you recognize little or no of the international and the well-liked chages that have got here approximately at the same time as you have been so busy looking the variety to rubbish others that stay their lives in a various way...Show more
Sharolyn Claybourn: I have stopped being surprised at this point. my best friend came out as bi in graaaade... 9 maybe? then my other best friend. then I just... I don't know. I seem to collect them @_@also stopped be! ing surprised when people assume I'm a lesbian. I don't do much to try ! and indicate otherwise.
Darwin Ecton: I am a mother of 6. 4 girls, and 2 boys. All are straight, even though on occasion we have questioned that. My husband and i decided years ago, when one of our sons was showing a feminine side, that we would love all of our children the same, whether gay or straight. Being straight or gay will not impact whether i gave birth to that child or not. it wouldn't impact whether i loved them or not. And, it wouldn't impact how i felt if they married anyone of the same sex. That child would still be my child and i would still love them. Hence i would love their mate they same whether they were of the same sex or not. I am a mother first and foremost to that person. One's sexuality does not determine if they are a good person or not.So, i agree with gay marriage. They are the same as any other human, and i believe that our country made provisions in our laws for people of different colors, races,creed and sexuality. They need to finish it! and give them the same rights to marry and have families as the rest of us carry. God Bless America And Our Right To Choose, And I Choose To Support Equal Rights For Everyone....Show more
