Gay marriage

The only reason I oppse it is because then it opens the door to polygamists marriages being legalized.

gay marriage? Well if you know me, then you know that I'm completely for it. I mean, why am I not allowed to have the same benefits, and rights as a straight couple? I know most people are going to say it's because this is what the bible says. It's against the bible, it's against what God wants. My question is this....when I die..who is going to be the one who answers for my sins, and how I chose to live my life? Are you going to answer for this? No...therefore why is it up to others what I'm entitled to, and what I'm not? If someone could give me another good reason why I'm not entitled to these things...I'm all ears. Then you have those who don't even believe in God, so why can't they do as they please? The problem with society today is we always need someone to put down, or control. First it was women. Then when women stood together, and fought for what they believed in, they got the rights they wanted. Black folks...we all know the crap they went through. They stood together and fought for what they wanted. They have that now as well. So since we couldn't push around women, or black folks, now we've moved on to gay people. Not everyone has the same values, or beliefs. Why do we try to push our beliefs on one another? Can't we just accept that someone else may believe in something different than we do? You don't have to agree, you don't even have to like it, but can't we just see that no matter how much we talk negative about something, or how much it's wrong...if another doesn't see it that way, that's their choice as a human being. Why is it that the government is telling me that because I love different than they do, I'm less of a person, and I'm not entitled to have the things they do? What ever happened to all men are created equal? I pay my taxes just as everyone else does. Why am I not allowed to file jointly with my g/f just the same as a man and woman? We BOTH pay taxes! Why am I not allowed to have her on my benefits? Do I not count because I'm with a woman? Do I still pay for my medical benefits? Would I pay just the same as a straight couple would? Am I asking for special treatment, or different benefits as straight couples? No...I'm not. I'm simply saying...we both pay taxes, so why not file together? I pay for my benefits, so why not have her on there as well? If I'm sick in the hospital, why is it that because my love is for a woman, she may not be allowed in there with me because she's not my "spouse"? Does someone's sexuality really make someone a bad parent? Why can't I raise a child with the same moral values as straight couples? No one knows me, or what my values are. They just say..."oh, she's gay...she's not fit to be a parent." How do you know? What, do you think that I'm going to raise my child to only like gay people? To be gay themselves? No...that's not true. I would raise my child to love everyone...no matter who they are, what they look like, their race, their beliefs, their religion, or how they choose to live their life. I would raise my child to not discriminate against others. That they can believe in whatever they want to believe in, but my child wouldn't necessarily have to agree with it, or believe in it themselves. Why is it that when a straight couple is out in a public place and they're making out, and doing things that is inappropriate for public no one says anything, but if a gay couple walks through just holding hands they are talked about, or asked to leave? To me, no matter what your sexuality is, certain things are just not appropriate for public places. Why is it no one sees these things? I just wish that people would see that I'm a person just as you are. I love just as you do. I may even have the same beliefs that you do. It's just that most will never know this because when they find out I'm gay, that's all they see. Ya know what? If I didn't tell you, you probably wouldn't know. I'm no liar. I don't hide things from people. When I die, I will answer to God for how I lived my life, and the sins I have committed just as you will answer for your life, and the sins you've committed. The difference is, I won't be held accountable for judging others the way you will. Remember? Thou shall not judge? That's not your job, nor mine. That's His job...let's let Him do His job. He doesn't need us to do it for Him. I don't judge you for how you live your life, so let me be with mine. Again...remember...all men are created equal.

I support gay marriage. I think everyone has the right to be with who they love and care about. In my opinion gay people can't help who they are anymore then straight people can. If straight people are allowed to marry, why shouldn't gay people have that same right.

Marriage should be decided by the churches. Under no circumstances should the Government interfere and tell us who can and can not be married. The idea of paying for a marriage license violates all conservative principles that I stand for.
