I think gays should have all the rights as heterosexuals, including marriage. Seriously, denying them rights is like being politically sexist, in a way.
I live in Massachusetts, so I can't picture a world where gays don't have the same rights just because of sexual interest. That's not the way society works!

there is no intelligent reason to exclude gay people from the same basic rights and privileges as anyone else. If people wish to call marriage sacred, then they need to give up the legal rights tied in with it as well as make it harder then a drive through to get married. Religion is a non-issue, as religion should never be used to justify who gets what rights from the state.

I am in support for homosexuals to have the same rights as others. I beleive that if two people are in love no matter the gender then that love should be honored. I think that what i dont understand about society is why people are so against it when its not that particular individuals lifestyle if they dont fall under the LGBT category then why would they have to care how one lives their life its just kinda frustrating and confusing. But I beleive that everyone has the ability to love and all forms of love should be expressed.

I am against homosexuality. I have religious reasons behind why I don't support it. I don't condemn those who are homosexual or bisexual, that's not my place to judge them.

Shadows-shine I am against homosexuality. I have religious reasons behind why I don't support it. I don't condemn those who are homosexual or bisexual, that's not my place to judge them. I am going to take a guess and say you are a Christian. If so, I would like to point out there is no biblical reason to condemn homosexuality. None of the passages from the Bible used to condemn homosexuality actually do condemn it.

I don't think it's natural, and I think that going against nature is wrong - but hey, we have central heating and air conditioning, so who cares!
I'm alright with homosexuality. Homosexuals deserve the same rights as heterosexuals, definitely.m
Even from a religious perspective - two men being in love is better than a man and a woman in a relationship based purely on lust.

It is as much a part of nature as heterosexuality. Exactly. That's true, which most people don't recognize. Some people just naturally like the same gender. It's how they are and it's not their fault.

Most of what I've seen refers specifically to pagan rituals and not to homosexuality in general, except for those bits in I Corinthians and I Timothy about child molesters, which are about child molesters, or maybe prostitutes, but arsenokoitai is a word Paul made up so either way translations of it are necessarily suspicious.

Before and around Jesus's time, there was polygamy. And technically, since it's a marriage between a man and multiple women, it's also a marriage between the women, right? So that would technically be gay marriage, even though the women don't sexually interact with one another. It's still multiple of the same gender in one marriage.

What do you mean by "against them" yet you are not judging them? By saying you are against homosexuality, that means you think they should have no rights what-so-ever or less rights then heterosexuals like yourself? Or do you mean they should all be killed? I thought religion was about trying to find common ground with your fellow human, and the idea of eternal life living in perfect 'harmony'? How can a religion make you blind to another human's non-violent peaceful sexuality? Religion is not natural, it was created to help us govern ourselves towards harmony and complete openess.

The Bible doesn't consider homosexual acts to be any more or less sinful than heterosexual acts. The controversy revolves around whether or not homosexuals can marry other homosexuals, and therefore engage in guilt free sex.
