Gay marriage: yay or nay?

@Starkiller87 - idk, I also said i do not hate anyONE, i dislike the lifestyle some people live. i'm not scared of people who are gay; i do not know many people who chose that. the majority of my friends and family are either single parents, married or engaged or living together and almost all of them have a child or children.

@wrmbreze - i will always love my kids 100%. no parent always agrees with decisions their kids may make in life, but should always love them reguardless.

And I love everyone, i don't love every action everyone does as do most people some may not like that I'm a stay at home mom but IMO if you can afford to stay at home and raise your kids without having to put them in daycare, then go for it. your kids will love you whether you're a hard working out of home parent or you stay at home and teach them and are with them 24 7 pretty much.

They're involved with church activities thru the week and have plenty of friends. What i don't understand which maybe off topic is why some people shelter their kids so much as to homeschool them and NOT let them hangout at church friends' house w/o the parent, even tho the kids are 5 or 10. less

The ones I've been told that is still effective in this day and age are the ones that I know from front to back. quit asking me ?s to start and keep an arguement and ill quit answering them. i turned the alerts off for this post because i find it highly annoying. soo if anyone else asks ?s it likely won't be answered because I'm tired of wasting my time on this topic. i do enough of it at night sometimes on facebook debates

AND

my kids will not be gay. My husband and I will both teach them right from wrong. They'll grow up knowing that relationships and marriage is to be between a man and woman, pro- life and know that abortion is murder. One good reason I do not want them in public school, but have no choice because private school is too pricey. I'm sure we could afford it but they'd be sheltered like I was. less

this whole post makes me laugh. i reply, because it's hard not voicing an opinion about something. i'm in no witchcraft crap, that stuff is stupid. and if YOU and anyone else doesn't LIKE a opinion, simply ignore it. ppl post such opposing topics yet get defensive when someone disagrees with them? ALWAYS happens, doesnt matter what the topics are being discussed. oh and i'm quite sure 1/2 of the community has tatoos and are Christians too. Take a poll if u want.

if people always agreed with every single thing in life, it would be very boring. debates are always fun to see who puts who down for their opinions and who is for it vs against it.

And again... if you don't like it, that is fine by me. i'm against it. woop-di-doo. i don't really care who agrees with me about the law in NC or not. it's an opinion. every1 has one less

"if YOU and anyone else doesn't LIKE a opinion, simply ignore it."

When YOU stop making it in to laws.

Laws by the way in a representative forum of government being things that people are supposed to getting involved active and not ignore by the very nature of our government.

What your saying in "please ignore the thing that effects your life and that since your took first civics class in elementary school are told not to ignore but actually get very very involved in and even put on your resume because...ummm...I follow "the bible". less

I, literally JUST saw this on FB:"I am afraid to hold my boyfriend's hand.""My friend's parents sent her away.""I found death threats in my locker.""I submitted to electroshock therapy.""I lost half of my friends after coming out.""My grandmother sends me hate mail.""My school won't let me bring my date to prom""I am not here anymore.""My dad tried to beat it out of me." less

@ mama2007, why are you involved on a sex positive site that promotes equality and love when you're intolerant and bigoted? The bible has been used for years to prevent people from masturbating and engaging in sex for pleasure, so why are you here?

Also, Jesus didn't say anything about gay marriage or homosexuality. In fact, he condemned everything in the old testament. (Eph. 2:14-15), "For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one, and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, 15 by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace."

i do not make the laws. my 1 vote in a huge election likely has little effect on the president's decisions or congress.

@BBW - wow people really hurt the LGBT Community in that way? thats horrible, i never thought people actually would say/write hate to anyone. im not hating anyone, i just have an opinion about the topic discussed. why would someone beat or kill someone over it? none of that makes any sense to me except for the one about taking their date to prom. that's an issue in statewide schools i've heard. less

Yes. People really do hurt the LGBT community in this way. You want to know why people care so much about having LGBT rights? This is why! Because people are terrorized.

It's easy to have an opinion opposing something if you have never had to live through, or personally know someone who's lived through, this kind of terror.

I have three friends who, in the past month, have been referred to as men even though they are very obviously women, simply because they wear more masculine clothes. It was done intentionally. I witnessed two of the incidents.

I have a friend who has to change rooms in her house because her neighbors are so bigoted, they make death threats through her bedroom window. The police do nothing and she cannot afford to move.

Me, personally? I lost my two closest friends when I came out (or re-came out... whatever. I've known I was bi since I was 12). Not to mention most of my family has ceased to speak to me.

I have a transgendered friend (not a transvestite, there is a difference, you should learn it) whose family says the most God-awful things to him and it absolutely breaks my heart to hear about it.

A teen in my state just committed suicide a month ago because of the things that were being said to him on FB and at school. A beautiful life snuffed because of hatred and intolerance.

Yes. This hatred and violence happens. Ignoring it won't make it stop. It's WHY we fight for equal rights. less

I didn't realize that's what LGBT rights were for, i have always thought they just want to get married and be like straight marriages and such. No one should EVER leave a death threat to anyone, idc if u are purple, tie die, black, white, bi/gay, straight w/e. The cops have to investigate threats like that. My sister isn't anything more than a married wife, but her hubby use to do empty threats in 2010 and cops investigated it and he went to jail for 3 days cuz of it. as for family not speaking to you, thats not right - for a few months is one thing but for good? no that's just wrong. don't have to like the way of living but always love your child/family.

As for Transvestite vs a Transgendered, i'm not sure and i may look it up. I just know the 1 person i saw sunday was CLEARLY a man dressed like a girl - nails and fake boobs, but facial hair and wig and the manly voice gave the huge impression that he was trying to look like a girl, but obviously not doing too good a job at it. i didnt say anything rude to him though. I told my husband once we got the tickets and he said shush til we get to car.

and the 1st post i said nope and i don't wanna argue over it i said, got hounded with ?s and ?s and ?s and comments and now we're 6 pages into this post.

And wow that's just PATHETIC and horrendous that people rape gay people because they're gay. any force or abuse is wrong! less
