<p>Oh - I don’t think you’re a homophobe, just someone who is clinging to an ossified view without any rationally explainable justification.</p>
<p>
Yes there is. There is quite a bit of evidence actually.</p>
<p>Right, goats and worms I believe.</p>
<p>It’s like a civil war here. Pro Gay-Marriage is the Union and Anti Gay-Marriage is the South haha.</p>
<p>I don’t think an all gay army would do well in combat.</p>
<p>There is no evidence that homosexuality is genetic, and many scientists do not believe it is so. Many believe that is due to psychological and environmental factors during a person’s early years. I would not, however, call this a “perversion.” I also do not see how comparing gay people to the civil rights movement is an insult to African Americans.</p>
<p>To answer the OP’s question, yes I support gay marriage. Why deny rights to any other human simply because you do not agree with their lifestyle?</p>
<p>Marriage isn’t a right.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>OMG, that is the most craplogic statement one could possible make, for several reasons:</p>
<p>1) You are assuming that gay marriage does not harm. Regardless of what you personally believe, many people of the major religions – orthodox Jews, Christians, and Muslims – feel that the nuclear family is an absolutely indispensable part of humanity and society. Therefore, a destruction of that institution has negative repercussions throughout society. In some ways, this could be quantified sociologically, but not fully.</p>
<p>2) If it offends some particular deity, then it also has negative repercussions. Whether or not you believe in that deity does not change the fact that some do. So to them, gay marriage is not just a neutral. And if they don’t recognize your “rights” as natural ones, then you’re not even operating in the same framework. Your distinction of “not affecting others” is ontologically arbitrary. Some people, including myself, don’t even recognize the right to self-determination as being natural. You’re simply doing the same thing many who don’t like gay marriage are doing – applying a particular framework, yours, to everyone.</p>

<p>Strangely, he doesn’t need to speak on their behalf to make that claim. “Offensive” does not mean that the community is offended, it means that it is offensive on a deeper level. In other words, not one could be offended and he could still make the point that it is offensive.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>To compare miscegnation to homosexuality is patently absurd, and you know that. For one, miscegnation can produce offspring naturally. Secondly, it still involves heterosexual relations. That statement is so insipidly asinine that I cannot believe anyone bothers to bring it up at all anymore.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>hahahhahaha</p>
<p>well, in the navy . . .</p>
<p>^ hey, don’t ask don’t tell! 
Yeah, that’s why it should be illegal for single parents to raise children. Or for single parents to adopt. Or for people to get divorced.</p>
<p>I just don’t see how 2 women raising a child is worse than 1 woman raising a child. Can someone explain?</p>
<p>lol, I would think an all gay Army would have lovely uniforms.</p>
<p>
There is, actually. Genetics are a contributing factor, but yes, environmental factors play a much larger role.</p>
<p>
For something to be offensive, someone must be offended.</p>
<p>“Marriage isn’t a right”</p>
<p>Actually, marriage is a right, EXCEPT for homosexual people. Therefore, you would be denying them the right of marriage that heterosexual people enjoy.</p>
<p>Edit: Murty, could you cite evidence proving that homosexuality is genetic?</p>
<p>Vince: I can.</p>

<p>You can read the whole page if you want, but the first several sentences sum up exactly what I’ve suggested.</p>

<hr>
<p>Really, where in the constitution does it grant people the RIGHT to Marriage?</p>
<p>Besides, as I said everyone is allowed to be married. The restriction is that you just can’t marry someone of your own sex, so you can’t be getting discriminated against when you are allowed to go get married.</p>
<p>
So you’re comparing a gay man to a murderer who literally harms others? And gay marriage does not necessarily harm anybody. It may be against your religion, but what isn’t against your religion now-and-days? And why do you guys keep referencing to society? What has society done to this world?</p>
<p>^Thanks. 10char</p>

<p>He was referring to the idea that topics like these (gay marriage is just one) leads to a moral decay in our society, thus creating a harmful environment.</p>
<p>^How does gay marriage lead to moral decay?</p>
