At the end of the day life is about what makes you happy and if you are happy being with someone of the same sex do that life is too short to worry about what people think about you. But I also believe reproducing and having children is our one duty as humans, but I understand that some people think differently and that's okay.

Life is not about being happy. Life is about taking care of oneself and one's responsibilities. If you are happy being with someone of the same sex, then there is something called "friendship." There is no need to take it all the way to marriage. Also, Gay Marriage conducted through the Christian, Jewish, or Islamic Religion is wrong. As members of those religions, we have the responsibility to follow and uphold their rules. Gay Marriage is unholy and wrong in the view of those religions, and Religious Marriage Officiants should uphold the rules of their religion. I believe the woke have poisoned the church and have wrongly justified their ways into the Christian Religion.

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.

 @BCYNGGF from South Carolina  disagreed…2mos2MO

I believe that gay marriage goes against God's design. In the Bible it says that only a man and a woman should come together.

 @BCW4554 from Florida  disagreed…2mos2MO

While being with someone of the same sex may be what makes you happy, I personally do not agree with that. If you want to marry a dude as a dude, go ahead. Just don’t involve me with that stuff.

 @BCW62WN from Alaska  disagreed…2mos2MO

I don't believe in gay marriage and I don't think it should be allowed and in the bible it says you shouldn't and there should not be in between genders because there is only 2.

 @BCZ3TRN from Illinois  disagreed…2mos2MO

If biology literally doesn't support same-sex intercourse, because there is no end goal of it, a man and woman belong together, not a man and a man or women and a women.

 @BCW3HZ8Socialist from Nevada  agreed…2mos2MO

There are 10 billion people on the planet. I think its more than okay that some people just dont want kids.

 @BD2N2FC  from West Virginia  disagreed…2mos2MO

Gay marriage is a sin. In Leviticus 20:13 it states “If a man lies with a man as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination…” That means if someone marries or sleeps with the same gender as themselves they have committed a sin and the punishment is death unless they repent and turn to God. The idea of practicing homosexuality is a mental disorder.

 @BCYNSTD from Idaho  agreed…2mos2MO

It's not just about "thinking differently". I agree that life is too short to worry about what others think, but when that "others" is the government, and their thoughts are that gay people shouldn't be able to marry, then we have a problem. The problem at hand is that a lot of people don't care and don't speak out, and that makes room for the hateful people who care too much about who someone wants to marry. Also, we as people are more than our ability to have children. We as people exist to do what makes us happy, as long as that doesn't cause harm to other people. If you want to have kids, do so! No one is stopping you, but you don't get to tell people what their "duty" as human being is.

 @BCXGPFF from South Carolina  agreed…2mos2MO

I agree with the comment. Its important that the people around us are happy, and it shouldn't be anyones right to take away another happiness when it comes to marriage.

 @BCX7XBB from Illinois  agreed…2mos2MO

I mostly resonate with the happiness portion of the response, because you really can't change what makes you happy, and suppressing those desires only strains society. There are also options to continue reproducing as humans even in a gay marriage.

 @BCX7LND from Illinois  agreed…2mos2MO

I believe that same sex marriage is a fundamental right to the LGBTQ+ community and love is a natural part of being human.

 @BCWXP7G  from California  agreed…2mos2MO

The argument that homosexual marriage is wrong because of reproduction is wrong in so many ways. If I said I am against sterile individuals getting married because they can't reproduce, that would be completely unreasonable. Marriage and is a human right.

 @BCW67WR from Alaska  agreed…2mos2MO

i agree with everything the author says why worry about what other people do with their lives when you have your own life to live

 @BCWFJM7  from Kansas  agreed…2mos2MO

i believe that love is love it does not matter what gender you fall in love with love is a humane thing and it should not be looked down upon as a sin. i am a open lesbian nd i am proud.

 @BCW5GB4 from Arkansas  agreed…2mos2MO

It should be fine to enjoy whoever you enjoy, and it should be okay to reproduce or not on your behalf.

 @BCXPD74 from Idaho  disagreed…2mos2MO

My opinion mostly comes from a religious standpoint. I believe marriage is ordained of God and should be between 1 man and 1 woman. I also believe it is a sacred obligation to have children and build families.

 @BCW4554 from Florida  disagreed…2mos2MO

I personally do not agree with same-sex marriage, but if it’s what makes you happy, go ahead. Just don’t associate with me.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
