Do you think Gay marriage should be legal? Here in the philippines this case not approve yet. I think in the states its Legal already. But for my side i don't want to agree,because we know that its not accepted in God Laws.

not sure what country you are from but here in the states, getting married is to to express eternal love for the other person. Many people get married with no expectation of having children and most get married for reasons other than simply having children...children are in addition to the love they feel for each other or should be. Marriage has legal benefits that simply living together does not have. To some those benefits are very important. The fact that they are gay should not exempt them.

Have you ever thought that these God's laws may have been written by men themselves? Gay marriage should be legalized and recognized. Why is it okay to deprive a group of people their rights that most of the society take for granted? I know it is hard for us, heterosexuals, to understand but if you just put yourself in their shoes and experience having everyone scrutinize what you're doing and telling you you're wrong, what would you feel? I do feel guilty because I know a lot of gay individuals who genuinely love their partners yet can't enjoy the peace and acceptance men and women get when they get married. So if people say that God said that to love someone so deeply is a sin only when gay people feel and act on it, that makes it unacceptable? What about the wars that were started by both sides claiming God is on their side? This is not a personal attack on you, fairygurl. I know you are entitled to your own opinion and especially coming from a very religious country (I came from the Philippines too), our beliefs can reach the point of almost being inborn. But I just wish people could be more accepting and realize that people get bashed for being who they are. Take care.

so you have some inside info on God's laws that the rest of us are not privy to?? Maybe you should do a bit more research on what you "know"....better yet...don't bother...it'd be a waste of time...you already "know".

I am for it I wish I was in a state that actually allowed gays to get married but there is currently only two that allow it in the union and those are California and New York but after this election I believe we will see some real change in a America. I don't believe in a God so his laws don't really matter to me cause I believe he isn't real but that is beside the point. I am also a big supporter of Gay Marriage because I am gay. Religion has no business in Government and should back off social issues that involve people that aren't apart of there religion. The Gay marriage issue is not a Moral issue which mean religion has nothing to do with it. It is a issue of Life Insurance and also power of attorney. It is also a civil right issue. I live in the United States so I don't know anything about the Philippinse government setup in the United States we have a thing in our constitution that says separation of church and state. Which I believe there needs to be a big giant Brick Steel Titanium wall inbetween the too with a really really small door for them to open and say something but not have the power that they seem to have with President Bush in office. Sorry if I went a little off topic

I am not gay but I think that they have as much right to happiness as anyone else does. As for it being against the laws of your God, yes it is but that is no grounds to stop people from being who they are. Gay people have been around for as long as the human race has existed. Certainly longer than Christianity. People are born with their sexuality and I do not believe it is our right to punish them for it any more than we can punish someone for being born a man or a woman.

I am not against the gay marriage, but i don't like it either. I do believe that the marriage is only girl and boy. I did not judge all the gays because i know it's not their fault to be like that, there is a scientific explanation about it. But for gays, if they felt like that, they have to control it and follow the norms of the society. Even if they felt that they are in the wrong body, they should act as what the people see them outside. I have known a gays who married to a girl, and they were able to have babies and they were happily married. I salute those gays out there who tried theor best not to have relationship with boys. happy mylotting!
