Gay marriage lifestyle - Liberal nut asking bible questions?
Hey there! I was reading something today about how part of my church is seperating from us becuase of our acceptance of "non traditional" unions :) Anyhow, it mentioned that jesus never said anything against homosexuality or sexualaity in general?? Is this true? I know I haven't read anyhting that says this but it wouldn't be the first time i missed somthing while reading. Also, it made an interesting point about this church (episcopal). It mentioned while he never said anything about gays, he did specifically mention divorce as a "sin?" Why is it these groups ignore this and focus on the other issue not even mentioned in the new testament? And why is it when they quote Leviticus they pick the homo thing as being a sin but don't address the fact the mention that stoning should occur in cases of adultry? Am I a liberal nut or am I missing something?
I think gay affection and sex are disgusting and it can make me physically ill to see it happen. Is it hypocritical of me to be pro-gay marriage and gay rights?
Absolutely not hypocritical at all.You know what I support fully? My parents’ relationship. My parents, a dashing man who is my father and a beautiful woman who is my mother, are married. You may or may not be surprised to find that as a heteronormative couple, they have rights that don’t necessarily need fighting for…but, if their rights were ever questioned, I’d certainly be pro-them.You know what absolutely disgusts me though? My parents kissing. Or good God Almighty: the mere thought of them having sex makes me want to vomit.In fact, just the other day, my mom got a little FRISKY, if I do say so myself, and smacked my father’s bottom when he bent over to pick up the trash.Positively revolting.I was shell shocked for a good three seconds. And boy, did I make sure they knew it too. I screeched, “OMG, ew!” in their general direction to the best of my ability.This is all a real, true account.I support my parents’ right as human beings to love each other, to live their life together, and to be intimate together.But, holy moly guacamole, I do not need to see any PDA besides level 1, PG affectionate smiles, hugs, and chaste little pecks.As you can probably tell…if you sit down for a second and think logically: you are not required to enjoy gay sex to support gay rights. In fact, most people who are heterosexual probably feel a bit of something uncomfortable when they are faced with the idea of gay sex. Likewise, homosexual people might feel similarly put off when thinking about heterosexual intimacy. Somethings just aren’t everyone’s cup of tea.(Ever look at turkey vulture on the side of the road eating a deer carcass left behind from roadkill? I have. And I thought, yeah vulture! You’re super cool. Do your vulture thing eating dead things. Nice to see you, glad you’re alive and well, but I sure as hell wouldn’t want to be you, eating roadkill all the time. I’ll stick to my salad. That doesn’t mean that I want to rid the world of vultures. In fact, I’m a huge supporter of people learning about why vultures are vital to ecosystems and why we should conserve their habitat and right to live in our built world.)Just, sit back and relax, honey. Live your life.Continue to recognize people as people and worthy of human rights. Don’t get too caught up in a sex life you’ll never experience. Those details are privy to people who are gay. Don’t worry, they’ll have the gay sex. You have the straight sex.All will be fine.
Why do straight people worry so much about gay marriage?
for the same reason they feel strongly about ANY of their beliefs, people usually want to share what they feel strongly about because their trying to make the world a better place. ask yourself if thats why you feel so passionatley about this? also, when people truly do not understand something from your perspective, have not been able to see it from your perspective, or share your hearts passion, they will tell you you are wrong. There are Christians that do believe that scripture has been interpreted unfairly for those who truly and deeply love someone of the same gender, focusing only on the act of gay sex, and not the love. After all if God is love, how can my love for another woman be wrong? And WHY wont Jesus come back and say, Not what i meant people! If you believe in Jesus or are a Christian, just pray about it, to him personally, you arent going to change the world, but you may find a myriad of answers in your heart this way. There is something ide like you to read however with an open mind, see if it makes any sense at all, you may learn a bit more about yourself, or why others believe what they believe.

What is an argument against gay marriage that doesn't involve religion?
There isn't one. They've tried to go the nature route- science proved them wrong. There's actually an evolutionary advantage to homosexuality amongst cooperative species, and that's why we see it in hundreds of species besides our own. They've tried to go the STD route- it isn't actually true, and has nothing to do with who gets married. After all, we aren't trying to outlaw promiscuous STRAIGHT people from getting married and more straight people than gay people in this world have STDs (particularly AIDS). They've tried to claim it harms children raised in those families- psychological studies have shown that isn't true. Further- we don't try to outlaw any other practice we find "bad". Being obese is "bad", but we're not outlawing fat marriage. @Best to Make It So- One big problem here, chief- Statistics show that fewer homosexual men engage in anal sex than HETEROSEXUAL men. That's right, people- more straight people have anal sex than gay people. Better outlaw straight marriage now. The type of sex that homosexuals DO have more than heterosexuals? Oral sex. But I've never seen a straight person try to argue against that one. Second- what does a person 's sex practices have to do with their ability to get married?
How does gay marriage affect straight marriage?
If two homosexuals marry each other, how does that affect you? Does that change your marriage? It changes how marriage is looked at in society - - but, society is just the aggregate of the individuals who comprise it? And why does the way people look at something stand as a justification for inequality? Letting women into the Jaycees affected the Jaycees, letting Blacks eat in the same restaurants changed what it looked like when you walked into a restaurant....... A majority of people want to define "marriage" to exclude gays - but, a majority of Southerners wanted to define a lot of societal norms in an exlusive way. Does the fact that an opinion is shared by a majority entitled that majority to impose it on a minority?
How exactly would same-sex marriage 'destroy' the family?
Because NATURE itself teaches us that it takes male + Female- two becoming actually and for real- ONE- a baby. That is NATURE's definition of "family" in the purest, most bare-bones sense. Two men or two women will never "be one" by NATURE. But they want to "pretend" and raise kids. So they go outside of natural processes and get some. Call themselves a "family". Sure, a family of sorts- but not a natural one. Artificial all the way. No religion needed, just NATURE. Hey I watched that show where two british dudes go to live with native tribes who are still living in their old old ways- not having ANY contact with the modern world OR missionaries.... And this tribe in the Amazon jungle said to the dudes- If you are homosexuals- we will have to kill you, be warned! Because they came to the tribe without women! NO missionaries told them about being against homosexuality- NATURE tells them.
