Ok, question for all of you. I recently had a small "argument" with a girl I go to church with. We were discussing the oh so popular topic of gay marriage. I said that while I believe that homosexuality is wrong, I do not think that denying them the right to get married is right. Banning gay marriage will not change their lifestyle and if this is

Faith forced through legislation isn't.

That's what I've always said on the matter.

And may I just say, preach it, sister! You've hit on how I feel about the matter so eloquently.

I think that it is most likely for the tax purposes, and I don't think that you can call it a marrige, because we know how the God clearly defines that. I think, sure, give them their tax breaks and call it a union. But Soddom and Gammorah stand whitness to God's feelings on the matter.

saying gay marriage is only about tax breaks is ridiculous, if gay marriage is about taxes than ALL marriage is tax related isn't it???
think about it.

I beleive that's why I called it a union. Personally, my view of marrige is one man, and one woman. So to me the term "Gay Marrige" is an oxymoron. So to answer your question, no, marrige is not tax related. Homosexuality is a sin, and I think that one of the main reasons that they want "Gay Marrige/unions" is because they want others to accept that to appease their conscience. It is a matter of smearing the black into the white and turning it to grey. Call me old fasioned, but I'll keep the black and the white just how it is.

don't get me wrong, i believe traditional marriage (man+woman) is indeed the right way. but frowning upon and banning gay marriage is wrong,it would be the same as banning interracial marriage. and if you want to get into religion, go right ahead but, god made gay people just like he made straight people. it's more of a preference not a sin.

you probably already know how i feel about this issue, but putting all religion aside, legalizing homosexual marriages will have huge long term effects...adoption laws will instantly become obsolete. our health care system will be in an even worse position than it is now- any HIV positive person will only need to find a partner who is employed to be able to qualify for the same coverage and benefits as their spouse. millions of new people will qualify for health care. employers will no longer be able to afford to provide coverage to their employees, and what little insurance that is provided will be so expensive that no one can even afford the premiums. health care providers will be working for nothing in return, along with higher malpractice premiums. social security would be the same way, millions of newly eligble people.

I think what you are saying is a little in the extreme and there are a lot more “what if’s” that could go in to your prediction of the future. Move over I think it shows a lacking in the way our public service systems work. Also I don’t think that the fact that more people will get medical care is a good reason to stop gay marriage really not enough ppl all ready do not receive the coverage they need so to say that because more ppl are going get treatment is a bad thing, doesn’t make sense. Really we need to change medical care system, and ss system, not make it less available to ppl. It is true tho that there is a lot more to the gay marriage issue then just the surface level two ppl marring… what about adoption, what about custody of children when parents devoice. I do agree with gay marriage because I believe in the bible… but if you don’t bible in the bible then it means nothing…. At the same time we do have to draw a line of right and wrong some where so the question is where is that line? Did we already pass it? And more over

[liftmyeyes]

what do you mean that you do agree with gay marrige because you beleieve in the bible, that is a bit confusing if not contridictory, could you please explain that a little bit more?
