They have the right to get married that doesn’t mean 8 have to support them in doing so

 @9D76QB2 from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

Marriage should be defined as between man and women, but they should still have the right to have a union in some form.

 @9B2CC8VIndependent from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

Girls can be with girls but boys ain’t meant to be with each other..

 @96HLD6H from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

For me religiously it goes against what I believe in, but I can not judge others or punish others choices.

 @95XDM95 from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

I neither support or oppose because it's not my buisness

 @959TTPL from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

I thought this already happened!!!

 @959LH9LPeace and Freedom from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

I just dont mind it. it doesn't bother me

 @952MFVN from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

I don't support it, but it's none of my business

 @8ZVDRSR from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and make obtaining the license to marry people an agreement to marry regardless of gender. Treat refusal as discrimination.

 @9CXXXRC from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes - Any marriage should be supported between two consenting adults regardless of their sex/gender combination. A marriage license is governmental, not religious therefore you cannot make laws based on religious script.

 @9BF44NZ from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

Reduce the role of the government in marriage and instead make it a religious decision, with oversight to protect against children (under 18) being taken advantage of.

 @99JDQ76 from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

It is there choice, But i do disagree

 @99CBJRBIndependent from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but make marriage part of a religious ceremony and make “legal Marriage” become civil Union.

 @98BHH7HDemocrat from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

I don’t care. It doesn’t have anything to do with me.

 @986DC2V from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision and Yes, but allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies.

 @97VZ6P7Libertarian from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

The same sex should be allowed to marry each other

 @9775MH8 from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

It doesn’t not affect me in any way how others choose to marry

 @96XWHWS from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

What ever make you happy

Europe on Edge as Critical Cables Severed Near Nord Stream Blast Zone

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius on Tuesday said "nobody believes" that two broken telecommunications cables in the Baltic Sea were "accidentally cut.""We have to conclude, without knowing exactly who did it, that it is a hybrid action and we also have to assume — without knowing it — that it is sabotage," Pistorius told reporters in Brussels on the sidelines of a Council of the European Union meeting.The Finnish network company Cinia said Monday it was investigating a broken undersea internet cable running between Santahamina near Helsinki and Rostock in Germany — in a submarine incident that sparked political alarm in Berlin and Helsinki.The 1,173 kilometer-long cable follows a similar route to the Russia-to-Germany Nord Stream gas pipelines, which exploded in September 2022 in an apparent act of sabotage.Also speaking on the sidelines of the meeting in Brussels, Finnish Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen said: “We are now investigating what has happened. We have good capabilities through all of this to investigate what has happened and who has been there.”Finland’s Europe Minister Joakim Strand called the incident "concerning.""Our authorities together with the companies are proactively investigating the case. The telecommunications have been re-routed to back-up connections and practical impacts have been minimal. The cable of course will be repaired. It is too soon to speculate on any causes but of course this is concerning," he added.The suspected case of sabotage comes as European foreign ministers, meeting in Warsaw on Tuesday, warned that Russia is “systematically attacking” Europe’s security architecture.

Horror in Northern Gaza: U.S. Questions Israel After Civilians Slaughtered in Residential Attack

An Israeli strike on a residential building in northern Gaza killed dozens of people early Tuesday, the territory’s emergency service said, in the latest attack to cause mass casualties in the area since Israel renewed its offensive against Hamas in the north.The Palestinian Civil Defense, the emergency service, said at least 55 people were killed in the strike in the town of Beit Lahia. Gaza’s health ministry said at least 93 people were dead, including 25 children. The Israeli military said in a statement that it was “aware of reports that civilians were harmed” in the town and was looking into the details.Matt Miller, a U.S. State Department spokesman, called the strike “a horrifying incident with a horrifying result” and said the Biden administration had contacted the Israeli government to ask what happened.Israeli forces renewed their offensive in northern Gaza this month, saying they were trying to stem a regrouping of Hamas, the militant group that attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, sparking the war in Gaza.The strike comes days after another Israeli attack on a residential block in Beit Lahia that left dozens of people killed or wounded, according to the Palestinian Civil Defense. The Israeli military confirmed the strike on Sunday, saying that the air force had “conducted a precise strike” targeting Hamas fighters.An overnight Israeli airstrike hit another residential building in the town on Oct. 20, killing dozens of people, Palestinian officials and emergency workers said.Roughly 400,000 people remain in northern Gaza, according to the United Nations, and many have been trapped in their ruined neighborhoods.
