People who say they are against gay marriage say that a portion of the purpose of marriage is to pro-create, and since same sex couples can not pro-create they should not be able to get married. However, what about heterosexual couples that can not have children? My wife had her uterus removed at 18 because she had uterine cancer, we are unable to have children. We also have a close couple that do not want to have children, because they work too much.
Should these people not be able to get married?How would a anti-gay marriage person respond to this response?
Honestly, it comes down to people being afraid of things that are ';different'; then them. It's why it took some time for African Americans to be able to marry white folks even AFTER African Americans were granted ';Equal Rights.'; We learned back then that separate but equal is STILL not equal...........and it will eventually become that way for gays and lesbians too.
I'm a lesbian and I promise you no one on this planet CHOOSES to be gay. You just don't and it's absurd to think one does...so since it's obviously not a CHOICE and we are automatically or naturally attracted to the same sex and that is the person who makes us happy then it should be our right to marry that person. And that is not our right.
The person that said ';well they do have the same rights, gay men can marry woman and gay women can marry men'; is just absurd and is probably a person who hasn't met or been friends with a gay person in their life. If they had.....they'd see that gay folks are no different than straight folks and see that our daily lives are Oh my God *GASP* just like the lives of straight folks i.e. we wake up and are mad that are alarm woke us up and we have to go to work, but we do this to make money to pay the bills, we worry about our kids, we pay our mortgages every month, we complain that the government takes too much in takes, we want to look our for the best interest of our significant other, especially when we pass away we want to make sure that our significant other is taken care of.
It's the same exact life except for the person we are sharing our life with. Gays and lesbians are not granted over 1100 federal rights and benefits of marriage. When I die, it doesn't matter if I've been with my partner for 10, 20, 30 years or more....because my social security benefits as of right now can NOT be passed down to my partner. If I were in the hospital and couldn't speak and was getting ready to die, my partner MAY be stopped from coming to see me and also from making decisions for me, we can not file joint married tax returns together even though we live the same exact life that a married couple would (including the house and kids and the white picket fence.) There are a whole slew of MAJOR things like the medical things above that we are not granted, but there are even things on a smaller scale that we don't think about. Like for instance, I just went and purchased a gun. My partner and I went and both filled out permits to carry a concealed weapon for it. We learned that only MARRIED couples can share their guns and not be violating a law. So technically, if my partner was caught carrying my gun, she could get locked up. But it's ';our'; gun for ';our'; protection............little things like that.........
The U.S. will change eventually to give every single American the same rights....it just takes time as we've seen with the battle for rights for African Americans and for women.
Btw, thanks for asking the question even though you're not gay. It really helps when non-gay folks think about it and talk about it.
Take Care.How would a anti-gay marriage person respond to this response?
you're missing the point.
it has nothing to do with believing that only couples who can reproduce can marry. it's a matter of proving that sex, marriage, and procreation were naturally intended for a man and a woman.
men and women are physically built for each other. same sex couples are not. men's and women's sexual organs are compatible. same sex couple's are not.
if a straight couple can't procreate due to a medical problem, it's still a man with a woman which therefore equals natural.
Ah, I've always wondered about their justification for that premise. Or older people who physically can't have progeny anymore, they shouldn't be allowed to marry either, right?
hi, if the couple don't violate the state or the country laws then ,, it s ok.
take care
Bottom Line a Marriage is ONE man and ONE woman, anything else is just that, anything else. The line has to be drawn and this is that line. OK? Marriage is Husband and Wife, not husband and husband, or wife and wife. Bride and groom, bridesmaids and groomsmen, wedding dress+ tux, etc etc. OK that can not be changed. And another thing GAY poeple say oh my rights my rights etc etc. Gays are absolutely wrong. They have every right to do every thing a straight person can do. A gay man and a straight man both have the same right. And that right is to marry any woman who wants to marry that man. As do the same with lesbian women and straight women they may marry a man. So what rights are these gays and lesbians looking for? They can do anything they want but as a government we should only recognize a marriage as a man and a women. What is the bug deal, what are they missing?
