I myself don't have strong lean towards gay marriage or have strong feelings for or against it. It doesn't get involved with me because I am not gay. Just because I don't care for it doesn't mean I think it is right. From religious and personal beliefs I think it is not what humans are intended to live by. I believe that each man is intended to marry a woman that they fall in love with. It doesn't bother me that people are gay and that gay's marry each other. The reason I am not against it is because it isn't a choice the person has. I believe they are born the way they are and it is something that is unchangeable for them. I feel it's wrong for people to look down upon gays because they have different thoughts than the majority of the world. They may be different in a small way but I don't think it's a reason to be so negatively against them. My reason for this is because it won't affect me in any way. I do think that the news and media are a major problem for gay marriage. It seems they only like to show the negative things about gay marriage, or when something bad happens. A huge problem is that people like what the media does. They make issues look interesting even if it is wrong to do for the viewers. This is how I simply feel about gay marriage.
Religion believes that only a man and a women should be aloud to marry, because god intended for humans to produce. If religion believes that god is almighty and should never be questioned, then why would he create a human to be attracted to the same sex, why wouldn't he of just created them to be attracted to the opposite sex. Others say gays should be aloud to marry, because it is their personal choice and they have the right. I agree that we all have our own opinions, and saying each one is wrong is not right because it is an opinion. I also think it is sad that so many people go crazy over each others personal rights and opinions, and so many get hurt or loose their lives over a topic that should be someones own choice. You wouldn't think that something so simple like a choice could cause such debate.
ReplyDeleteBeing gay isn't a choice it's the way people were created. I don't think any one person would choose to be gay. Not having the same rights as same-sex couples do. Like your partner laying in the hospital dying and not being able to be by their side or family members having more claim to ones belongings then the partner does. These are just some of the many rights same-sex couples don't have that straight couples do.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason why many people believe that marrige should be between a man and a woman is for procreating. There are many people that can not have children either because of medical reasons or for other beliefs. I don't think these people should have to give up there rings and not be able to marry whom they choose. If marriage was such a "sacred" institution why are there millions of young men and wemen trying out for shows like the Bachelor and Bachelorette. It isn't about gender as much as it is about love. Who you fall in love with should be who you are allowed to marry no matter the gender.
I believe that a human is born knowing what sex they love as well. I didn't mean that they had the choice. Now I am sure there are some people out there that have chosen to like a certain sex but I believe they are born that way too. With my religous beliefs and personal views I just feel that each human is created to marry the opposite sex. There are many religions that have different beliefs and I'm not singling one out. On another note I think that most of the shows like the Bacherlor and Bachelorette are not right. I have seen them but I don't know if they are a fake reality show or if they are real. But many shows now a days are for entertainment.
ReplyDeleteOf course many will probably disagree with the assertion that marriage between a woman and a man is for procreation. Is this why same-sex couples are not allowed to marry in every state? If each human is created to marry than how would you explain those who never marry? Would they have not fully fulfilled their destiny to marry? There are many people that choose to not marry at all. I just think for all those who want to be married should be allowed to do so rather it is same-gender or not.
ReplyDeleteA new Swedish study found that lesbians and heterosexual men shared a particular part of the brain, whereas gay men and heterosexual women also shared the same (1). So therefor gay men thought more like straight women, and gay women thought more like straight men. This shows that gay people don't just wake up one day thinking their going to marry the same-sex. Marriage is not just between and man and women, their are other societies that have one man and multiple women, and it has been that way for centuries, but still society says that it's wrong. I think the question we should ask ourselves is why do we care? What good is it to get into other peoples lives and say what they can and can't do? Why are we always fighting? I think people are scared of change, and also want the world to be a better place. No one wants to fight these issues to just be assholes, they just want whats best for the future, whether the issue will or won't. Always remember good things in life don't come easy, you have to fight for it. It will just make it worth it in the end.

As being said from an article Can a Gay Person Choose to be Straight? This is how I feel society views most gays. When a person is young and first coming into their sexuality, they usually have dreams or hopes of who they will marry, who will be their date for the prom and so on. It is hard to believe that a young person would choose to have hopes and dreams of a same sex lifestyle with all of the stigma that comes with it. Why wouldn’t they just choose to be straight, so they could fit in, if they had the option of choosing? Instead, they are compelled to repress feelings that they have because so many people think that it is wrong.

I agree that no one chooses to live the lifestyle gays have to but that is society's fault for looking down on being gay. Not the same-sex couples themselves. I can say it over and over, being gay isn't a choice but the way ones is born. I believe that gays choose to live a straight life because of all the astigmatism on living an openly gay life. I really don't think one should choose to be straight just to fit in. This world would be a crazy place if everyone did what everyone else was doing just so they weren't mistreated. I feel that society needs to change their way of thinking about same-sex marriages so that more people can openly be gay and legally get married.
ReplyDeleteSociety is terrible for someone that is out of the norm. And in this case being gay is not normal to a lot of people. I think it's wrong that someone who is gay tries to live a straight life because they know that they will be put down by the majority of people. I don't and never will treat a gay person any different than anyone else. It isn't their decision to be the way they are. You shouldn't be against a person that has no control over what they think.
ReplyDeleteAfter all of the ideas and things brought up with gay marriage I have really thought about what my views are and what I think about the issue. There are many people living a life that they don't love because of society and other ignorant human beings. I think they have the choice on who they want to marry no matter the sex of that person. I think it is wrong that gay couples don't have the same rights as straights even though they were legally married and are an official couple. They should have the same rights as any other married couple and receive the same benefits. Hopefully more states allow it, and it becomes more common within the 50 states. These people are treated incorrectly and the only thing we can really do is wait and hope that all 50 states allow gay marriage.
