Gay Marriage debate.

So if you aren't religious...how is being gay "wrong?"

Religion is not the only moral compass.

Well then enlighten me, because I don't understand how anyone would oppose it unless religion was the reason, then I disagree, but it's the only thing that has any base to it, stupid and worthless base, but a reason.

Not being able to answer "why not" is not always a reason to do something. I dont believe people should teach their kids that theyre going to burn in hell if they sin, but they have the freedom to teach it.

If my son came to me and told me he was gay, i would hug him, tell him it was ok.... wait for him to leave the house...... probably cry and think about shooting myself..... then get over it, move on and never let it bother me again. Not something i would obsess over, but not something i would encourage.

Ideally, my son or daughter will find a matching color of the opposite sex to fall in love with. If they dont, that's their business and i'll support them and be happy for them.

So if i get a vesectomy, should i be allowed to marry my sister?

I have no point, just trying to define the perimeters of marriage, if there are any. Is reproduction the primary reason for marriage? if not, why does incest matter? if reproduction is the primary reason, how does that apply to homosexuals?

I mean if there was a way to completely prevent reproducing, then incest may not be as bad in my opinion. It depends though, cousins marrying each other is different than brother and sister.

Marriage in my eyes is pure love and devotion between two people, a huge side effect (benefit) is raising a family. Can all of that be done without marriage? Sure. However, there's also other benefits from getting married and I personally would like the idea of calling someone my wife and sharing a truly connected life.

With that said, a sister and brother or cousins could be in love, which I guess is OK, but if it means a baby is brought into the world with a rare disease, then there starts to be issues.

I don't get it, they have the freedom yes, but there's a reason behind anything.
