Why do people not support marriage equality/gay marriage?

let me see here.... Ooh! I know! Because they're assholes! : D
Down vote my answer all you want.
Its my OPINION.
That's what all you non-supporters say about your "opinion" on gay rights, no?

Well, I don't give a crap about how other people live their lives. I don't give a crap who other people marry. I just mind my own business, thank you, and don't go sticking my nose in everyones' lives. I stay out of things that don't involve me, whereas you think you can control the marriage of other people. That's just crappy - excuse the language. It just sucks that you think people are under your thumbs, just because you believe in something. Keep your opinions to yourself See More▼ and I'll keep my opinions to myself. Only when people stop crapping all over other peoples' rights will I stop starting arguments. Because excuse me for shedding some light on equal rights, but it's their lives, and you can't really control them. Jews have already been crapped on over their religion, so what about the gay people that are Jews? Judaism supports gay marriage, so why do some of you Christians think you can spread your religion all over them like butter? Don't crap all over their lives. Let them live their lives, because it doesn't affect you at all who other people marry. And I'm sorry if you think this is offensive, but I'm just explaining why you shouldn't trap people under your thumbs. I don't give a crap who other people marry, because I'm a nice and good person.

There's:

Christians
Atheists
Buddhists
Muslims
Mormons


And other religions that don't believe in gay marriage. It's called an "opinion". Something you have that you get judged on recently these days. Don't go around saying: "The Bible says it's wrong,". There's a lot of stuff the Bible says is wrong and you still do it. You just don't want to judged by anyone else and blame it on the bible. See More▼


AND, don't you dare say it's just the Christians who don't believe in gay marriage. There's Muslims and Athetists I personally know that don't believe in it. And not all Christians go by the bible! Those are what I call "free-range Christians". It's not just us. And people have a choice to believe in it or not. People choose to, and people don't, and that's perfectly fine. So don't get it twisted that it's just us.

Hmm... lets see...
Its because their asshole who need a good, fat smack to the head with the all too familiar insult of, "Grow the Fūck up and get over it."

People in the LGBT community still bleed red, people. Last I checked, the only difference they had was a sexualy preference.

First off, love is love. It doesnt matter if its gay, straight, or what the fūck ever.
Secondly, people are only cruel to them because their stuck in the old, ignorant, intolerant ways of a dying See More▼ generation.
Thridly, I myself am apart of said LGBT community, and have VERY strong feelings about the hate and discrimination that comes with it.

Like for instance,
Im a Southerner, born, raised, and proud of it.
Just because I fly the Dixi flag doesnt mean Im racist:
My mom would beat my ass if she heard me say Frik, and Im 18!
Just because Im a Southerner doesnt mean Im christian, either. In fact, Im undecided.

The reason, in short, for all the hate and discrimination against the LGBT community is because of an old Christian regime thats out dated and far too intolerant. Sorry to all those who ARE Christians, but think of it:
You guys are kinda the bad guys in this instance.

Did you know that Narive Americans performed same-sex marrages LONG before the Bible, Torah, or Quaran was written?
I bet you didnt.
Thats because the Christian churches tried to eradicate this information when they came to convert the locals in the new world because it was "unclean."

Well, in short people, Im proud of those that come out and say, "Im gay. Im lesbian. Im transgender. Im bisexual." Cause in the end, their still himan, too.

I think it is okay because my aunt is engaged to a woman and they are happy together.

I think that some people are afraid of change, or things different. But as we live in XXI century, I think it's time to change our minds.
I want homosexual marriage to be the same as heterosexual one. Why? Because I simply see two people that love each other making a big step. There should not be difference bewteen them. I support them and respect them even when I don't understand it (I mean, I'm heterosexual and I can't understand how a woman prefers a woman instead of a man, See More▼ but I will always respect it as it is their decision and their lives) So...EQUAL MARRIAGE! :D

I support it because:

1. It is none of my business how others live their lives.
2. It doesn't affect me at all.
3. Of the many, many other religions there are, just one of them shouldn't be able to control who others marry. (@Markimoo I understand your comment but I am talking about the Christians who don't support it :P )
4. Telling someone that they can't marry who they want because it's against your religion is like getting mad at someone for eating a donut when you're on See More▼ a diet.
5. People shouldn't be punished for something they can't change.
6. Let's pretend there's - I know it's not fair, but I know the most about Christianity - a Christian, named C. They're talking to an atheist, B. C is trying to force B to pray and go to church every Sunday. B says, "That's not my religion, it's yours, and I shouldn't have to go with your religion if I am not a part of it." I know someone who is gay, and she is Jewish. Christians shouldn't be able to force their religion on other people. Don't shove your religion down other peoples' throats!

This is terrible! Everyone says that people against gay marriage because the Bible tells us that gay marriage is wrong. It is not only that. Im not going to start a war ( Which happens too often and should be less frequent ) so I will keep more reasons why to myself. Please dont take offense. Please dont start a war. Most of you probably believe in freedom of speech (so do I) so please let me have my freedom.

people hate the things they cannot understand. and apparently that is against the bible, but I really don't give a thought to it.

Well. Looks like there are two people who are very spiteful at the moment

if God is apparently "against it" then how did he create gay people?

BECAUSE THEY DONT UNDERSTAND US. THEY THINK THEYRE RIGHT, BUT THEYRE FULL OF CRAP.

They would rather follow some hypocritical book than think for themselves. Gay folks would make their kids become gay then the human race would eventually be extinct. It's not even real love. Blah, blah, blah. Those people make absolutely no sense.

Because some people are butts -O- And they tight with religion, well, we fight with peace, bruh. It doesn't matter. People shouldn't judge.

Well, I think gays should be treated the same as others. A man and a woman marry because they love each other (usually), and the same with gay-marriages.

people are against gay marriage becuase they think that people were MADE to be attracted to the opposite sex, when that is not always the case. Some people are naturally born gay. It's not a disorder AT ALL. That might be caused by maybe the child's parents maybe beating eachother up and that takes affect on their mental health. Sometimes it is caused by having a bad relationship with the opposite sex and giving up. if that's the case then why can people just make fuin of them? See More▼ THEY ARE PEOPLE TOO. THEY HAVE FEELINGS. THEY HAVE RIGHTS. Can you imagine if it was the opposite way and gays were the normal and you were a straight person in the corner. How would you feel if they made fun of you because of the way you are? AND PLUS, How is being called 'GAY' even an insult? It means HAPPY first of all, but it means homosexual as well. But what's wrong with that? ARE YOU THINKING THAT YOU CAN MAKE A PERSON UPSET BECAUSE THEY LOVE SOMEONE??????? Well that is the stupidest thing i have ever heard. So let me get one thing into your head. LOVE IS LOVE. If gay people werent meant to be, then why were they created. SO PEOPLE, HERE'S A TIP. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT.

People are odd creatures.

it may be because society always finds it hard to accept someone or something that is different from what the majority does.being a gay is also considered like that the majority groups are straight so they find it hard to accept them and as u said religous people also find it hard as they follow the bible

it baffles me how ppl think that they can say "oh im not homophobic i just dont think gays should have the same rights as me but im not homophobic" like stfu ur homophobic. just replace gays with poc or jews or women and youll see my point.

becuause in the bible it says that there were two towns full of homosexuals that were burned. Its a sin because adam and eve were made to love one another not two woman or men and so on.

Some are grossed out by the idea and use reliigion as an excuse.

Just because I said this doesn't mean I support them. I just go to church and know this. I am myself very much so pansexual and interested in any sex.

just to start this off, I am 100% for gay marriage. so this is what i think. from my experience with society people like normality. they like things that are familiar to them. and so when people see different things they become scared and defensive, take for example the salem witch trials. people would burn others because they were scared. that or people are total a-holes and have no empathy.

Because there anti gay or probaly Christian and following the lord but seriously I don't care and I am Christian

i support it, but my dad believes its against god...

Eh, I don`t support it, but I`m always like "Why should I care how other people live their lives?" So, I`m kinda neutral in a sense. I won`t be mean to the person, but I don`t really support it. But I`m just a teen so what do I know?

People are all about "You need to be a different sex to marry someone!" I don't get it!

Because religious people believe that god thinks it has to be a girl and a boy so they dont accept lesbian or gay marrige

Cause people are stupid Christian bible thumpers.

I am gay, and reading some of these comments hurt me.. a lot...

I am all for gay marriage i mean they are just people, but i think people don't support it because they think it denies a child a father/mother and like you said they think it is a sin.

Some people don't agree with it, i'm not sure. But I do support LGBT marriage 100%.
