WOW a thread I started got a promotion.
Well shades, my reasons are as follows...
I don't think allowing gays to marry has any effect on equality. Simply because Gays have equal state benefits and rights being living together partners as married couples and I know that in the Uk Married couples receive less state benefits than couples living together that aren't married. People here separate simply to get more benefits and rights. This is bad for the whole role of family. Children grow up seeing their parents separated just to get more money and it becomes acceptable and normal. In this world, such views are a bit screwed and twisted. One has to look at the purpose of marriage, where it came from.

Ancient Hebrew law required a man to become the husband of a deceased brother's widow.
But even in these early times, marriage was much about love and desire as it was social and economic stability. In its roundness, the engagement ring, a custom dating back to the Ancient Rome, is believed to represent eternity and everlasting union. It was once believed a vein or nerve ran directly from the 'ring' finger of the left hand to the heart.
I am quite sure gay people never considered marriage when they lived in caves. I once heard of how men would tie a piece of plant thing around the woman’s ring finger to show people that she is taken.
To me homosexuality just seems unnatural. But I have gay friends and don't have an issue with that. Homosexuals can't procreate. It is dangerous and unhealthy to have anal sex. Thus what is the point? I mean a man can sexually pleasure a woman in the exact same way and more than a woman can sexually pleasure a woman.
I think people are gay because they are allowed to be gay. When at a young age, people can often be confused as to who they are. We try to find our identity. If a person lived in an environment where homosexuality was never considered at all plausible then those people are less likely to become homosexual. I will admit there are very camp men in the world and very butch women and perhaps they are naturally gay, but most of it imho is just a fad.
Allowing same sex marriage can be damaging to the state. I don't think schools should be allowed to openly teach same sex marriage as a good thing. I think it could be mentioned that some people prefer to be gay and perhaps marry but to teach it like it is normal will result in more people thinking it is acceptable. I am not homophobic; I just think it will have a negative impact on the world. Perhaps it is nature’s way of cutting down the population.
in my opinion, education is corrupt, government is corrupt, and health care is corrupt. People are corrupt. The world we live is purposely destroying civilisation and the planet. The government know what they are doing. The people that make these decisions must know the implications of what they are doing. Perhaps it's just a thinning out process.
What’s worse is gays have more adoption rights than married couples simply because it would be considered unequal to give a married couple the option before a gay couple. A bit like racism, anyone of a race that isn't white can accuse a white person of racism and that person will get a lot of stick, but I know non white people that have been racist to white people and it has been ok and allowed to let slide. Because of equal rights. But actually equal rights aren't equal at all. I wouldn't be able to do anything if someone of a different race said something racially derogative to me, but those same people will pull the race card on themselves. I have seen it happen. I told a friend once that he was being racist to himself. He was. And the things he was saying were completely off the wall, but it's ok as long as someone else doesn't say anything apolitically correct to or about them.
The same applies.
There are lots of reasons, but personally I have an opinion of marriage that to me would just be a waste of money for same sex people. For them it’s a tag, it's cosmetic. Allowing gay marriage just destroys the whole meaning of marriage and family.
Sorry for any offense I may have caused, what I am saying is not aimed at anyone in particular and it is merely my opinion. I don't intend on proactively trying to change the world and people are free to do as they choose. If I loved in the US or was asked to vote my opinion, I'd either not vote or vote for prop 8. But most likely not vote. I don't have an issue with people being homosexual or marrying, but I wouldn't want any kids I have in the future being subjected to an education that taught that same sex marriage is normal or acceptable.
