What do you think of a divorced person who is against gay marriage?

Is this hypocritical, that they should be free to wed and divorce at will, but think gay people shouldn't ever be allowed to marry?





I am interested in the ethics of this position. I know of someone here who thinks exactly this, I can't get my head around it.





I think the basis for their not allowing of rights to gay couples comes from the inability to produce children and the immorality of gay relationships.





This person is a Lawyer and a woman.What do you think of a divorced person who is against gay marriage?
I personally think it is hypocritical because one of the arguments against gay marriage is that it adversely impacts the sanctity of marriage. Straight people have already managed to do that through the high divorce rate.





It seems that humans don't bother to develop the skills necessary to meet the needs of others and therefore can't sustain a good relationship for a long period of time, so the idea of permanent marriage is slightly stupid.





There are people who don't realize that society picks different targets for discrimination. The targets may include gays, women, immigrants, single parent families, blacks, homeless, Jews etc. A person can be a member of one group and somehow get some thrill out of hating a member of another group.





Likewise, a person can feel that gay marriage tramples on the sanctity of marriage and that she should be allowed to do it, but gay people should be prevented.





Gay relationships have nothing to do with morality. Attachment is a function of nature and scientists have shown that gay relationships are a normal part of nature. It is only the human mind, which substitutes beliefs for good scientific truths that label something that is different and that they are afraid of as ';immoral.';





I feel very certain that gay marriage will be legalized as it makes scientific sense and the court system of which your lawyer is a part, always weighs scientific evidence and never considers belief systems. What do you think of a divorced person who is against gay marriage?

The key word is marriage. I think that the word you are looking for is union. A marriage is a legal commitment between a man and a woman. Why is it so important for gays to have this changed? If they can have similar legal status with finance and property, and power of attorney, why do they need this statement? ( Marriage?)
I don`t think that your beliefs regarding divorce influence your views regarding gay marriage. Some people are the way they are no matter what.
Married or divorced, a homophobe is a homophobe!
She can't make a str8 marriage work, so she wants to keep her trap shut on the subject instead of getting opinionated
