It's okay to have your own opinions on this topic, but it's wrong to force these ideals and/or beliefs onto others, which can do more harm than the harm you think not doing so will cause.

 @BCXCZJ7 from Texas  disagreed…2mos2MO

Religion should remain out of politics, not only this, we ourselves can be a good human, to be accepting of one another, how does a gay marriage effect you personally? Is another person displaying their love and appreciation for another of the same sex so wrong?

 @BCX6ZP2Progressive from South Carolina  disagreed…2mos2MO

There should be a separation between church and state. There was always supposed to be, and just because your beliefs do not align with what other people choose to do, does not mean you have any say over their decisions.

 @BCVZDRB from Colorado  disagreed…2mos2MO

Not everyone has to succumb to other people's religious beliefs. If you don't like/approve of gay marriage, you don't have to be in a gay marriage. What others do shouldn't affect your life or beliefs. God never explicitly says gay marriage is wrong, and it is never mentioned in the Bible. If God is a "loving father who cares for his children," then he loves unconditionally, despite people's relationship habits and sexuality. Not everything outside of God's principles is a sin. The idea of gay marriage being a sin in Christianity is built off of Christi…  Read more

God didn't necessarily create marriage, but he created love. Marriage was created by man, after whom we named the holiday Valentine's Day.

Plus, even if allowing Gay Marriage is "harming" the individuals who choose it, it's their choice. Despite all warnings, if they continue to love who they want, then who are we to constantly scold them as if they know no better? Plus, it's within our First Amendment to be able to have free speech and free religious beliefs, and you can not force what you believe on others.

 @BCW5GB4 from Arkansas  disagreed…2mos2MO

Not everyone believes in God, or commits to the traditional ways of teaching or practicing religion. Gay marriage shouldn't have any harm on anyone, strangers, family members, even their own lovers, aside from what they believe. What matters is who that person is and what they do, not what gender they are or what gender(s) they're attracted to.

 @BCYH7Q3 from Montana  disagreed…2mos2MO

America is a country that allows freedom of religion, the religious beliefs of one should not influence the actions of others.

 @masn  from New Mexico  disagreed…2mos2MO

In the United States, the Constitution protects both religious freedom and individual rights. Religious groups are free to define marriage according to their beliefs, but the government cannot impose those beliefs on everyone. Civil marriage is a legal institution, and under the Fourteenth Amendment, it must be applied equally to all citizens.

 @BCXMDTYIndependent from Arizona  disagreed…2mos2MO

Technically where in the Bible does it say being gay is a sin. Point to the verses and show me him directly saying being gay is a sin. People show be able to love how they want to as long as it is consensual and of age and it's none of your business to know what people it's their life not yours.

 @BCVWFP8 from Wisconsin  disagreed…2mos2MO

Separation of church and states, the U.S. is not allowed to establish a religion so why should the bible have influence over the law.

 @BCVYBV6 from West Virginia  disagreed…2mos2MO

Your religion shall have no bearing on anything that is involved in my life. Just as someone on a diet has no right to force you to diet as well, this applies to religion.

 @BCVWFFF from South Dakota  disagreed…2mos2MO

Although he created marriage between a man and a woman, that doesn't mean it is not allowed to love outside of a man and a woman. It is never stated outright that people can only marry between men and women. God shows his love to all his subjects, and he sees all as equal

 @BD2QL39 from Utah  agreed…2mos2MO

I agree, but it is a religious opinion. Gay marriage should not be restricted, even if I don't support it.

 @BD3G9L2Democrat from Illinois  disagreed…2mos2MO

Engaged Gay Marriage

1. Where in the Bible does it say that God is against homosexuality

2. Freedom of religion is protected by the first amendment in the Bill of Rights, therefore any argument based on Christianity or any other Religion is irrelevant and void

3. Sexuality is not something a person chooses, and is rather instinctual, therefore it could be argued that God created gay people.

 @BCVXQMB from Pennsylvania  agreed…2mos2MO

Gay marriage is not right, there is no reproduction and marriage was not like this in the past. It is only becoming more popular because people are regularizing it.

 @BDZGBKF from New York  commented…2wks2W

  @ChristianGuidedConstitution  from Florida  agreed…1mo1MO

That was an incredible statement, I don't know how I only have a 13% match with you.

 @BCVWMTC from Oklahoma  agreed…2mos2MO

In the bible, god created women and men not otherwise. We were made in the image of the lord not otherwise. I do not support.

 @BCZT5MLProgressive from Utah  disagreed…2mos2MO

We should keep religion out of politics, for in our country we have the freedom to ALL religions which means we have the individual right of beliefs that shouldn't affect others. Making each person follow a law based of a personal belief is unconstitutional by the first amendment.

 @BCVX3K7No Labels from Texas  disagreed…2mos2MO

The bible is the work of man so it is flawed. Especially considering the church’s history of using religion to harm others. God is a created all of us in his image but also gave us free will to do what we want. As long as no one his harmed I don’t see a reason why not.

 @CalicatboyLibertarian from California  disagreed…1mo1MO

Seperation of church and state means that religion shouldn't play a part in laws.

 @BCXFLXD from Louisiana  agreed…2mos2MO

I agree with this message because marriage is about God and being together for life but its a sin for the same gender people getting married so according to the bible its considered unholy.

 @BCXCZZB from Iowa  agreed…2mos2MO

No

In the Bible it says in Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." which means is very frowned upon to be gay. I'm not saying they are bad people and I'm not gonna think any different of them but in Jesus's eyes people should not be gay or marry other gay people.
