Yes

Let people love people as long as they aren't hurting them! Gay rights are HUMAN RIGHTS!!!

@98J5RRMWomen’s Equality from Washington commented…5mos

I AGREE! We are all humans, why does it matter who you choose to love?

 @lemans3427Republican from California agreed…3wks

Love is love, and it is a fundamental human right to be able to choose who you love and be with that person legally. Denying someone the right to marry the person they love simply because of their gender is a form of discrimination. And we know from history that discrimination is never the right way to go. Just imagine if people were denied the right to marry based on their race or religion! That would be unacceptable. So why should we deny someone the right to marry based on their sexual orientation? That's just wrong.

What do you think is the biggest obstacle that the LGBTQ+ community faces when it comes to achieving full equality?

@9C7HMQX from Washington disagreed…5 days

The equality that the lgbtqiazxrewljkewrlkjgrweleerwhjgldsrakjehwrhfgkersjkdfhgksldfhgklsjerjhgkljes+ community seeks is FORCING EVERYONE TO not just NOT DISCRIMINATE, but to CELEBRATE THEIR GENDER CONFUSION & PERVERSE AND UNBELIEVABLE SIN!

No

@97XS8N8 from Kentucky disagreed…7mos

While every person should be allowed to have a different opinion, I personally do not think every person should have to follow a strict set of rules in marriage. I think everyone should be allowed to be with who they like. You personally do not have to be with the someone of the same sex but other people should be allowed to have the choice to do so. Imagine not being able to be with someone of the opposite sex. That would be extremely depressing. That is how many members of the lgbtq+ community feel.

@99P3Z46Republican from Missouri commented…3mos

its in-humane to have same-sex "marriage" in my opinion because its a marriage so that means the 2 genders will set up plans in the future to have babies and i think marriage isn't right. If the genders are not married than its alright since no one in the future could be affected.

@9BFKG8Q from Indiana disagreed…2mos

It does not make any sense why you would be okay with same sex relationships but not marriage. People make plans for their futures despite the decision to get married or not. Same sex marriage does not negatively affect or harm the future in any way. It is inhumane to deny a couple the option to get married simply because they are the same gender. If you are okay with people of the opposite sex getting married then your opinion should not differ for any other couple.

 @lemans3427Republican from California agreed…3wks

It is truly inspiring to see people like you fighting for the rights of others. We all deserve to have equal rights and opportunities regardless of our gender or sexual orientation. It's important to remember that same-sex marriage is not just about love, but about the legal benefits and protections that come with it. Denying someone the ability to marry the person they love is a violation of their basic human rights.

Let me give you an example. Imagine two women who have been together for several years. They have built a life together, they own a house, they have shared finances, and the…  Read more

Same-sex marriage doesn't harm the future of anything or anyone and if the people getting married plan to have kids in the future then thats their business.

Yes, but allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies

@948D63B  from Indiana disagreed…10mos

Churches are one of the main places people get married. So why not let the gays get married there aswell?

@8MPSCG3  from Kansas commented…7mos

Yes, but allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies

We should all have the right to refuse any service. If a baker doesn't want to make a wedding cake because the couple is LGBT+, they shouldn't be forced to. However, I would want to know because I do not want to support homophobic businesses.

@98F3Y6QDemocrat  from Ohio commented…6mos

Yes

But wouldn’t you have different thoughts if the baker refused to sell to a couple because they were black? Or christian?

@978NPTSRepublican  from Georgia disagreed…7mos

No cuz churches dont like gays, so get them somewhere else. Churches can have their own beliefs

@8MPSCG3 from Kansas commented…7mos

Many churches are about love, not hate and discrimination.

@9C7HMQX from Washington agreed…5 days

Those churches are infested with scores of False-Teaching earwigs who don't preach the Word

 @JonBSimConstitutionfrom Kentucky  commented…9mos

No, marriage should be defined as between a man and woman

That'd be an imposition of your beliefs onto the church.

@99H99KR from North Carolina disagreed…3mos

How is it a belief? If it is, then your attraction to the opposite sex is also a belief.

@9C26N35 from Michigan commented…2wks

No, marriage should be defined as between a man and woman

the attraction to the opposite sex isn't a belief, its natural. there is a reason only males and females can make a kid together. it's the natural order. homosexuality is out of norm. marriage is a construct defined by the bible as a union between man and woman. the only reason we have marriage is because it is defined in the bible. it isn't homophobic to believe that marriage is for man and woman. it's correct. we should have a law that allows some kind of legal union for the homosexual community but marriage needs to stay marriage and a church should not be forced to compromise its core values to validate a union that isn't even marriage by definition.

@9BM7RP9  from Montana commented…1mo

I think it is up to people's personal choice as to who they marry, same sex or not. However, If a church wants to refuse providing a ceremony for a same-sex marriage, I think they should have the right to. Most churches believe being gay is a sin, yeah, so they're usually going to refuse a same-sex marriage. But I want to clarify that I don't entirely agree with that. Having an attraction to the same sex, being gay, isn't technically a sin. It only becomes a sin when one acts on it and actually gets into a same sex relationship. There are plenty of members of my own church who identify as gay…  Read more

It's actually not marriage! Marriage is a man and a woman faithfully bound in union for life, never to seperate! What your talking about they make another term for BULL S**T

@98T7JVD  from Oklahoma agreed…4mos

From my perspective, everyone has the right to marry whomever they choose (as long as all parties can and do consent). However, forcing a religious organization to perform an action directly opposed to their beliefs and theology is a blatant violation of the 1st amendment and the human right to religious practice.

@987J62RRepublican from Florida commented…6mos

you do realize that saying "ur a **** ing idiot isnt going to shed more light on different opinions right? its just gonna make you look stupid.

@97XT4J7 from Kentucky disagreed…7mos

Respectfully, I have to disagree. First, I am wondering why you think this. Where is there a rule that says marriage can only be between a man and a woman? What's so bad about this that it effects your life so much that you think it should be banned? There is no difference between 2 people of the same sex getting married and 2 people of different sex. We are all human and all deserve to be treated equally. Please research further into the history and discriminiation of the LGBTQ+ community to really understand what they have gone through just that way they are allowed to love who they want to love. I mean, how would you feel if someone told you that you couldn't like who you liked just because of their gender.

@99B8ZHX from Indiana commented…4mos

I believe in marriage between a man and a women. Your either a male or a female.

@97FD4LK from Missouri commented…7mos

How dare you what if some one made you marry some one you don’t love or be alone forever that’s what it feel to me if i had to marry a man so screw you cause I’m gay.

No, allow civil unions but don’t call it marriage

@98ZTS8H from Arizona commented…4mos

I'm of the opinion that marriage is at its core, a religious institution. The government shouldn't be regulating it one way or the other. Not only should the government only call it a civil union for a same sex couple, but that's all they should call it for a straight couple too

@4XLXLXZfrom Virginia  answered…3yrs

This notion that gay marriage is a violation against God is BULL **** !!! I self identify as a Republican, but on the issue of abortion and gay marriage, I am abortion and LGBT friendly. If the Republicans changed their views on social issues, then the Democratic Party will be the party of the past. This is a free country, and these issues must fall into that meaning.

@8MPSCG3  from Kansas agreed…7mos

I would vote Republican a lot more if they'd accept the freedom of choice and equality in these topics. Abortion and gay marriage are the only reasons I'd ever vote Democrat. I am not even gay but wish them love, peace, and equality same as any American. What about two adults consenting to marriage even bothers people? It's love, let it be.


The American government is deep into marriage, far more involved than any church. If it was nothing more than a religious ceremony, you'd not need a license.

You know what they say, "love is love!" And I couldn't agree more. It's not like you can control who you fall in love with, right? If someone falls in love with a person of the same sex, that's perfectly fine by me. I mean, if my neighbor falls in love with a tree, who am I to judge? As long as there's consent and it doesn't harm anyone, I say let people do what they want. Anyway, do you think there should be any limits on who or what you can marry?
