  • It destroys the institution of marriage!....whatever that is...
  • Well number one they say it doesn't perpetuate families... meaning boy + boy does not equal a baby... etc... Then the whole it's Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve crap... Blah blah.
  • It doesn't weaken society, it weakens the reigning religion's hold on society.
  • It doesn't. Those claims are unfounded.
  • It doesn't.
  • something I've read before but a friend reposted today.... 10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is "Wrong" 1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning. 2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall. 3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract. 4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women a! re still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal. 5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed. 6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children. 7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children. 8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America . 9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children. 10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans Please post this in your journal if you are for gay marriage.
  • you can't ...I can't ...they can't ...why?... because there are bloody none !!
  • It doesn't. Same-sex marriage has been legal in the Netherlands for over 6 years now, and none of the dire predictions have come true.
  • It doesn't. In fact, it strenghens society if they have good jobs, raise good children ect. Although they don't have be gay or married to do that, so gay marriage has no negative effect on society at all!
  • Plain and simple it dont and that is the idea of religious bigots.
  • it weakens society simply because they can't control it.
  • first of all, why is it when we talk about gay couples and gay marrage, it'a always refering to men gay couples. there are plenty of woman gay couples that deserve the same rights everybody else has. secondly it doesnt. if anyone wants to contest this, i will make it my personal goal to listen to them... then shoot them down with common sense...
  • it doesn.t i think there are jsut too many people that run this coutnry that are set in their own ways, and refuse to put their personal oppinions aside, instead of listening to the voice of america. i mean gays live and act like they are married, whats the difference if they sign a paper that says they legally are?!! people just need to accept them and let them live a happy life too!
  • It doesnt, they just are bigots. There is NO I mean NO evidence in heaven, earth or hell that proves it has any negative effect. Bigots always throw the bible into the equation, but the bible doesnt prove diddly squat
  • It doesn't. It is legal in many countries and life continues as usual. I am gay and married and I worked, pay taxes..have accumulated enough wealth to retire early..I think I paid my contribution to society. I hardly weakened it.
  • Beats me. I was married for a long time, got divorced and now have a wonderful girlfriend. Me being married and now dating again has absolutely no effect on society. (except maybe I contribute a little more to GDP now ....dating is expensive) That whole Biblical thing in politics really irks me.
  • because if people stop pretending they are all alike and so people become themselves. (though I must admit clones in gay bars are not generally being themselves, but some identity that's accepted). If people dont get married in terror of people finding them out, and have loads of babies to make it look like theyre hetro, well the population would go down, wives wouldnt be beaten by frustrated gay husbands, theyde meet straight men that actually fancied them. People could be honest and that's not repressed middle class bigots want. People might even get happy, no that would have to be stopped. God loves misery.
  • I really cant understand what the bigots want, if we all crept back in the closet from whence we came would they be happy? Should we all go down to our local gay bar and commit mass suicide, that's against the good book. Anyway theres too many good books interpreted by hateful bar stewards. How can anyone have the arrogance of saying that their religion is better than any one elses. My god's bigger than yours etc. Love who you want, you dont have to marry, you can live together anyway. If you want a bit of paper, America is not the only country, some parts of the world are Civilised. America is a place full of bigots, religious freeks and hatred, come to Europe, were human!
  • They cannot, because it doesn't. They just start at the (false) conclusion that gays are evil, then work their way backwards. That's not how honest people go about it.
  • It doesn't at all.Many married people should not be parents
  • It doesn't.
