With the whole religion thing, it's the fact that some people don't believe in other religions and take offense to it. Like i wasn't all too thrilled when Malu said we all get reincarnated no matter what we think. I don't believe in that, I am Christian Catholic but what other people believe is what they believe. This really shouldn't turn into a huge religion debate.

As in my opinion, if it doesn't affect you then why do you care? Like Jocer said, they're not marrying you, they're marrying the person they love.

im catholic aswell, and what i was saying was not religion lol
aniway who cares who marry with who ? aslong there happy and that counts

if i have to say in my opinion that is causing the gay marriage struggle is the religion of north america which is mostly christian so they will mostly be biased 2nd is that everyone that is in north america is judging with their religion and they are also biased and the next thing on my opinion is that humanity definitely hate when somebody is different from them

Well I think that what really matters is if the couple is happy :) Cause people really shouldn't care if women marry each other or guys marry each other. As long as they love the other person everything should be fine.
It's the happiness that counts :D

What angers me is that the institution of marriage is older than both Christianity AND Judaism. How can they use religion as any grounds to bar someone from their natural rights when it's not even a religious debate? It's a matter of human rights and the fact that it's even up for discussion shows we have a long way to go

sadly the united state is pretty much based on the christian religion like some of the things in a show will be taken out if they had any bad thing with some of the christian words so now the united states will most likely based it opinion with it religion

To be quite honest i dislike this thread alot it starts Controversy. Alot of people can't handle it like mature adults .. first thing that comes to immature minds is ewwwwwwwwwwwwww <- anyway gay marriage to me is ermm tbh i dont mind it at all, As long as you love that person that's all that matters

I've noticed that over the course of this thread you have made a few broad and sweeping generalizations. These generalizations are the enemy of true understanding, and I urge you to consider each person, whether Christian, homosexual, American or otherwise as an individual, and not as a stereotype. People are more complicated than you make them out to be here, and presuming you can understand their personalities/behaviour based on one aspect of their identity is a great way to offend people. There are many people in the United States and elsewhere who identify as Christians, but still support gay rights. Not all Christians believe a literal account of the bible and prefer to interpret it more symbolically. Some churches, like the Anglican Church in Canada (where I live), have actually endorsed gay marriage and will now marry people of the same sex (but again, that doesn't mean we can assume all Canadian Anglicans support gay marriage).

Also, despite the fact that there are many people who would agree with your statement that the US has its foundation in Christianity, it is simply not true. I may not be a citizen of the US, but I know enough about its history to know that the founding fathers were secularists and strongly believed in the seperation of church and state. Here is a short list of quotes from some of them affirming their beliefs: http://www.wwrl1600.com/20-quotes-fr...ecula/12861279

People make gay rights such a big deal.. Just let gay people be happy and live there life. but this is america O____________________O since when does america not debate -_-
