Gay Marriage Debate - Merced, CA

[Sannon]

Marriage is designed for a man and woman. The very original idea of marriage and joining of one man and one woman is biblical. Gays need to create their own idea of joining for love, life... marriage is already taken.

[Benjamin Vang]

As clearly stated, gay is gay or lesbian is lesbian. To be marriage, got to be between a man and a woman proposing to engage sexually intimacy and be pregnant genetically and reproductively among the married couple to raising children and having humanity dignity in the community. Gay or lesbian has clearly stated its own term. There is no such thing as same sex marriage. It is okay to be gay or lesbian, but to ask for marriage licensing, I am not endorsing your petition. Gay or lesbian is the opposite of marriage. Marriage is the definition of different sexes (between a man and a woman) coming together.

[Humanity Dignity]

Gay or lesbian does not and can not petition for marriage, because there is no such thing as same sex marriage. Gay or lesbian is clearly stated its own definition. Gay or lesbian is the opposite of marriage. Gay or lesbian is defined as sex abuse, because there is no intimacey nor romance; except pains and sufferings. Marriage is the definition of a man and a woman coming together to engage sexuality and raising children for a dignity community in humanity.

[Anti-Gay petition]

Gay is gay, meaning already same sex married behind your closed curtain (closed door). Gay is a horrible sexual abuse activity. What more do you want to asshame the community of humanity. Same sex does not need licensing to be and love each other. It is already granted the moment of your action first acted. Marriage is for legallized prostiutional among a man and a woman to engage sexuality, because a man and a woman required a controlled format of petition. A marriage can be traditionally or officially documented. As straigt and cleared with precised defined, gay is gay. Gay is clearly defined itself. Same sex does not fall nor fit in marriage systematic, due to abnormal dignity humanity in the community. It is a shameful act of loneliness individuals, no different than masterbating.

[Anti-gay marriage]

Gay is gay, painfully sex act - horrible sexually abuse (assholing stinking). Lesbian might be closer than intimacy but not close enough to romance. To be truly in intimacy and romantically, you got to feel the sensational waves of feelings of your opposite sex partner (between a man and a woman). For that of orgasm and sperm, these are the keys effect of love and passion. Here you can truly smell sex, between a man and a woman. In gay or lesbian, you only smell sweat and shit, which caused highly defective waves of countless diseases.

So, Larry King is getting his 8th divorce, Elizabeth Taylor is possibly getting married for a 9th time, Jesse James and Tiger Woods are screwing EVERYONE, yet the idea of SAME-SEX MARRIAGE is what is going to destroy the institution of marriage?!?! REALLY???

[JR]

It is totally against the bible. In the bible it speaks of Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. People need to read there Holy Bible, it will lead them in the right direction.

[Connie]

Many gay couples live as if they are married for years. What happened to equality for ALL people. This religious babble is getting old. State and religion is separate.

[Connie]

I am glad you all are speaking up. Most of the comments are laughable and even misspelled. Thumping on the bible will not stop people from loving who they love.

[Neil Roth]

Since civil marriage is nothing more than a grouping of civil rights given by the government to married couples who make commitments to each other, the gender of those couples should not be important. Civil and religious marriage are two different things.

[billy]

I support it because the homosexual community should live the person they care about and spend the rest of the there time with them becaause if not then your just taking away marriage altogether.

[Amanda]

I'm straight. I don't care who gets married.

[Anne Marsh]

Everyone deserves the same basic human rights, and the idea that you could remove an American citizen's constitutional right to the pursuit of happiness because they were born different from you is ridiculous and sickening.

[julia]

we are all equal and the government should recognize that.

[Kae]

You can't judge the quality of another couple's love. History is repeating itself, Separate But Equal, it will cause more violence if not war.

[Brian Hernandez]

Although I don't really care, love is genderless.

[Chantel]

Love is love. Whether they have a marriage certificate or not wont stop them from being together.

[Flip Reyes]

Marriage should be open to anyone. Regardless of sexual orientation or gender.

[Stephanie]

I like how so many people claim that Gays shouldn't force their lifestyle on anyone when it is the bible thumpers that are shoving their beliefs down every one's throats. I believe in god, but my god unlike yours (talking to those who claim that god hates gays) is not a judgmental being. He is ALL loving, and there is nothing wrong with how he made me or any gay people in the world. I would also bet anything that the same people that are talking about the bible, never left this ignorant and narrow minded town. They're most likely average joe's who never made it past high school and show their idiocy by opening their mouths about gays being in the wrong. Love is never wrong because god is love, and if you honestly believe that gay marriage is ruining the sanctity of marriage, then I suggest you make divorce illegal too.(oh no that sounds crazy, right? Yeah, well so do you.)
