Gay marriage is wrong. What about civil unions? Gay 'marriage' in a strictly legal sense is fine with me.

[King Black Robe]

There is good evidence that societal approval of homosexual practice may increase the incidence of homosexuality and bisexuality, not just homosexual practice.

Which is already happening in the teen and early twenties crowd. It's sad.

Marriage from the Creator of Holy Matrimony's point of view

Marriage is to be between one man and one woman....end of story....anything else puts us in the hands of an angry God....

[Rutles4Ever]

The author loses the argument when he cites Genesis, seeing that the Bible is now considered "hate" speech.

Religion has been so skillfully driven from our society, Truth doesn't stand a chance....

simple no matter how much they try, two homosexual men, or two homosexual women , will not get pregnent from their recreational sex.

Society rewards the insititution not the individuals.

Homosexuals seek to have the institution reward the individuals orgasm.

Those who say "civil unions are OK with them" are ignorant of the ramifications of such unions.
If civil unions between 2 men or 2 woman are permitted by law, why not a union between 18 men, or 3 women and an Irish Wolfhound, or a father and his son, etc.?
Since the beginning of civilization, the standard for marriage has been a bond between 1 man and 1 woman. If that standard is changed, you can be sure children will pay the price.
Are you sure you want to open Pandora's Box just so somebody can "marry" their same-sex best friend?

[Porterville]

Marriage is about children- not about sex. If it was only about sex then I would have many, many wives....

Besides- what does anal sex have to do with marriage?

"Gay marriage," as the ultimate legal sanctioning of homosexual behavior, will bring with it a wave of intolerance toward those who publicly express disapproval of homosexual practice.

I think that wave is already here. A Swedish pastor got jail time for speaking out against homosexuality at his pulpit (posted here).

Gay marriage is our punishment for turning our backs on God.

My local fishwrap, the Los Angeles Times in an editorial today, came out openly in favor of gay marriage. That's how Hard Leftist they are. When you consider 61% of Californians voted to protect marriage, it tells you who is out of step with the mainstream.

[DennisR]

Forget about the Bible for a moment, and consider the argument from a purely objective, humanistic point of view: Anything that, if practiced by everyone, would either destroy or harm humanity or that would create social anarchy is bad and/or wrong. It's really a very simple argument. What would happen if everyone stole from their neighbors? What would happen if all people were gay? What would happen if all people lied?

Government should only pass laws and encourage behavior which furthers the peacable proliferation of the human race. Based on this nonreligious argument, gay marriage is wrong.

Case closed.

Statement: "'Gay marriage' is wrong"

Response: Yep!

Comment: So what? (not directed at you merely the indifference of elected office holders.)

[THE MODERATE]

Everything about this issue is wrong, beginning with the Boston courts. No state legislature has voted to allow gay marriages or to recognize other states. The only state that has voted to allow civil unions was Vermont and that was because of what the courts did.
