How can one type of marriage attack another?

Whenever a question about gay marriage is posted, there is always someone who uses the defense that homosexual marriage will destroy heterosexual marriage. Basically this to me says that if gays are allowed to marry, I won't be heterosexual anymore? Can someone explain?How can one type of marriage attack another?
Its as simple as this...those opinions and ';fears'; are just a lot of talk by people who are either bigoted or self-righteous. The idea that the actions of another person can destroy something that it is up to you to preserve is ridiculous. The reality is that those ideas are spouted by people who are doing one of two things. A) They are bigots who think that gays should crawl back into the closet. They see homosexuals as sick social deviants who should be relegated to second class citizen status. B) They are people who have strong religious beliefs and think that it is their duty to (as Christians, Jews, Muslims...whatever their particular faith is) stand in judgment of the actions of others and condemn them. They have forgotten the most basic teachings of just about every religion I know of...which is that in the end God will judge us.





I see a lot of this kind of stuff from ';Christians'; and it always leaves me scratching my head. How is it possible that they don't remember that Jesus Christ himself spent his life surrounded by sinners. He didn't spend it calling them names and accusing them of destroying his father's creation. He spent it simply preaching the Gospel and teaching them the things God wanted them to do. The idea that these so called ';Christians'; use their religion to justify their mistreatment of other human beings has always amazed me. They're gonna be really shocked when they wake up one morning and find themselves sitting in hell next to the ';sinners'; they've spent their lives abusing.How can one type of marriage attack another?
I agree.





Not allowing homosexuals to marry is discrimination. Homosexuals aren't allowed to marry just because they're homosexuals? That's like saying women aren't allowed to vote just because they're women. Hey wait -- wasn't THAT thought to be a sane, ';best for the world'; thought years ago? Exactly. Discrimination.





And for those of you with that ridiculous ';if we allow gays to marry we will have to allow relatives to marry, and people to marry animals, etc.'; No, we won't. We allowed women to vote, and we're not allowing animals to vote, are we? Stop using lame excuses.





In many years when gay marriage is finally (and rightfully) allowed, people will look back on the laws of our time and shake their head.
i cant explain your question but as far as my opion goes. When we marry we are NOT uniting bodies (thats sex) we are uniting the souls. So when unions are labled as gay, straight, interacial its all nonsence. you are labeling what you see and not what we are. for a soul does not know race sex or religion. all they know is the connection of one soul to another. and as far as it destroying hetero marriages thats just plain stupid. no one can destroy a marriage that was meant to be. GAY OR OTHER WISE
who ever thinks gay marriages will destroy straight marriages is just scared. all allowing gay marriages will do is make more room for that abominable lifestyle to grow.
I don't feel that allowing brothers and sisters to marry will effect my marriage. Do you support that as well?
