This would be a problem for Christian homosexuals- marriage is more than just a civil thing for such people.

He wants to make a consituational changes, so it would be binding.
Plus he would need around 75% voting FOR this amendment. Not sure how likely that would be.

There's over a billion Muslims, somewhere around 2 billion Christians, 1 billion Hindus, half a billion Buddists, and probably about half a billion other, smaller religions.

First of all I respect everyone's opinions and beliefs even if they differ from mine. I just ask that you respect mine.
I think it's possible for a person to 'love' another person of the same sex. The passions of the heart can be the same between a homosexual couple and a heterosexual couple. That part of it can not and will not be disputed, at least by me.
By my belief and opinion is that it shouldn't be made legal. That doesn't mean I hate the people or think any less of them, I just don't agree with what they do. Personally if two people of the same sex want to parade around as a couple, that's their business. But for them to want the same privileges and stature of a marriage by Law I find to be wrong.

It can cause alot of problems...Bush takes Christianity too far, to the point where I groan and want to scream. (and me being the religious one) Ugh...I don't want gay ppl to be banned from marrying! It's not right.

You ask for respect over something you can control.
But you do not give respect to something people cannot control.
Why do you think it's wrong?

So they only help people because their religion tells them so. Maybe they need help.

And if they weren't fighting over God they would be fighting over money, land, or pretty much anything else.

Ok guys what do you think i know we had threads about this before but they were closed becuase people started to insult each other lets keep this clean and nice please
I think gay couples should be allowed to marry. When two people love each other they should be able to tie the knot regardless of their gender. I challenge anyone to give me one good, rational reason why this should not be the case. The religious beliefs of the few should not control the law.
Ok thats all
please keep it clean and hopefully the mods will be nice enough not to close it
I agree!
Im not sure why bush is doing that...maybe because majority of Americans are Catolics, so hes trying to win that group over for the next ellections...
Marrage between two people any sex should be allowed...i dont understand why it should not be? I dont understand the reason behind it...its not harming anyone...why should it be illegal.
It is also, in my openion moraly right....so...i fail understand the problem.
