In this day and age there has been the issue of same sex marriages and should they be legalized.
There are so many reasonings to both sides everyone already knows what they are I am not here to argue about that.
I myself prefer the opposite sex. It is just the way I was born and raised. No offense to anyone else. I am not here hating gay people at all. I have gay friends.
The way I see it is marriage is between two people of the opposite sex. Marriage has alot to do about religion and to same same sex marriage contradicts that.
I know other than the getting married because you love some reason, there is the you get special rights between two people when you are married.
My question is for all the people who are fighting for the Same Sex Marriages Law. Why don't you fight for something similar to marriage. What I mean by this is create a new law that allows same sex couples to get all the same rights as a married couple. And call it something else. For example lets just call it getting united. That way it is "Getting United" but still meaning "Getting Married"
That way the religious people get there comfort zone and the same sex couples get there own.
It is just an idea that I have been thinking about for awhile and was just curious about other peoples input.
I can see your point but I think some people would call changing the title of the rite *selling out*.
Sadly,there will always be people who will feel that any same sex union is a sin and your just can't change their mind ,no matter what label you put on it.
You could have a civil ceremony between same sex people who wish to be together,
You will never change the meaning or union between a man and a woman which is called marriage......for this is how it was meant to be.
It could never apply to same sex couples as meaning .....marriage.
This could only apply .....to one man united with one woman.
There could be something similar as we've already stated but it will not be recognized as a marriage in any sense of the word or it's meaning.
It represents the foundation of moral family values held throughout the world anything less would never be recognized in the eyes of God.
I can fully understand the problem that same sex relationships have when they love each other and just want to be together, but sadly the ways of the world are not about to change to accommodate what some see as unnatural and immoral behaviour.
Over the years i have had several encounters with people of this persuasion, some i have worked with, some have just been customers but i can truthfully say that they have been very kind and caring people, like anyone else.
This should be addressed once and for all by law and decided if there is a compromise that can be agreed upon to suit all concerned.
I am not gay, but i do believe that people of the same sex should be able to get married and share the same rights as married "men and women". I think its so unfair that same sex marriages are not recognized on a global scale. They should not have to get a civil ceremony to show there commitment to each other, plain and simple their union should also be called a marriage.
That's my problem with organized religion it brings so much division and judgements to others that don't share the same beliefs. Imagine a world where people just believed in one God as the creator and nothing else. Hmm i think their would be more unity among man.
The fact of the matter is that in the US, marriage is a legal matter mostly the concern of the IRS. What people's moral issues with it are irrelavant. It is simply a matter of taxes, SSI benefits and a few other support and legal issues.
Because homosexuals want to be treated like everyone else. Calling it something other than "marriage" is like telling a minority they can't use the same restroom as you. Or, if you're really liberal, they can use the same restroom but must refer to it as "outhouse" so their is a clear heirarchy of importance established.
I think that the marriage ceremony it being a religious function and being based on the bible. How God made a man and women to come together and cleave to one another. I think that the marriage through the church should be left that way.
Now civil unions, unions by the court house. It is different. Anybody who wants to be united regardless, can be united if they want.
I am not hateful towards anyone at all but I do not think the meaning of marriage should be changed within the church, but outside of the church since the laws are changing. Uniting people of all would be up to the state, civil union is different.
What also bugs me the most, because of the double standard same sex couples face it's hard for them to get pensions and sometimes benefits form thir partners jobs, which to me again is so unfair. i.e couples that have been together for 20,30 years etc. when one partner dies the other is left with nothing.Come on, thats just not right.
This life to me is all about love, which is not widely spread when we reject our fellow man. If two people love each other they should be able to have the title of marriage to their union period.
I am completely pro same sex unions. I feel that if two people have committed themselves to each other, they should have the same government rights as any other couple. This is where seperations of church and state is soooo important. The government shouldn't have anything to do with marriage. Marriage is a religious ceremony. Whether it is allowed or not, should be up to each individual religion. I believe that any 2 adults that want to enter a civil union should be allowed to. I don't think the government should recognize marriage anymore than they recognize a baptism. 2 people get married in a church, then the government can recognize that as a civil union. 2 people go to the courthouse, the government recognizes it as a civil union. If only life was that simple.
This issue done been discussed so many times and lead to some heated debates. Here are 2 and you can find more in the member discussion boards or start one there if you dare. Everything goes there and you hear from both sides, people aganist it and for it.
I am all for it and must admit that the gay/lesbian community have some good leaders so a change will come soon. And keep in mind people runing for senators,etc will do anything for votes at any cost and will push for same sex marriages in any state.
