Never. totally disagree with it. The same topic is mentioned in the other sections as well and I answered in details there.

Well it's a quite difficult question...but from my own point of view it should be allowed,though the marriages between people of the same sex is abnormal, or to be more exact is not acceptable for.The matter is to get used to that idea...And of course it is not we who should decide others' future,destiny...I have nothing against love between people of the same sex...

Well I am against love between the same sex. It is abnormal and awfull. Goverment must prohibit such law. In my opnion such love goes opposite to our nature. Such desead people must not demonstrate feelings in society.

marriage of the same sex! when the other sex exists, what is the reason for individuals getting married to the same sex?

It's against nature. The word nature speaks for itself.

Why should what some believes be imposed onto other people?

People may say “Every human has the right to marry". Well, everyone does have the right to marry, but if you prefer to have a homosexual relationship, than this right does not concern you. The law states that marriage is between a male and a female. We should not have to alter a meaning to fit the desire of everyone in the world.

It’s bad to me if same-sex marriages were to be legalized, but it seems that some children these days are being raised by homosexual parents. Homosexuals have the right to adopt a child which is erroneous in my mind. As they grow up, they might be very confused because they will see their family as much more diverse as their friends.
This might result in the child as being seen as gay, by picking up actions that are seen at home. Then, there is the aggravation towards the adolescent, concerning their parents. Children could hassle the child because of the atmosphere they are being raised in.

If someone is being raised by parents of the same gender, they would miss the needed influence of the missing gender, and can therefore affect them for the rest of their lives.

Many religions do not allow same-sex marriages based on their beliefs that it is wrong and sinful. The five major world religions: Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism teach that homosexual behavior is not appropriate.

I'm indeed astonished due to the majority answers I have read. Firstly, I could see the selfishness of each person who wrote because they only were thinking in their self.
Let me expose some opinions which are here and I’ve picked up and saying sorry to those people who I’m going to cite.
I read “It's so dangerous to your normal life in terms of scientifically and morally” (by Luc). I respect every opinion, but its non-sense saying that saw a homosexual couple married are dangerous. Is it not so more dangerous see a heterosexual couple who are married without love and even worse when they have children and they see their loveless lives?
“(…) In my own point of view I think the marriage concept is much bigger than just making sex , letus ask why people married? The answer would be :-
Firstly: to reserve the humanity this a biological answer
Secondly: to make sex
May be there is another answers but the logical question will be : what life going to be if everybody married from his/her sex??” (by ahmedtaha)
Let see, that person are trying to say that the humanity have to follow the steps of reproduction innate because otherwise it will probably disappear. It's something ironic and impossible. There are more heterosexual people than homosexual, so it won’t ever happen, will born more straight people as homos… so don’t worry about it. ‘Secondly: to make sex’ what a pity the marriage conception you have got! Did or will you marriage because you want to get some? I can’t understand our freedom and even our rights.
I think that it has to be legal because it's not just for the meaning that marriage is, it's go beyond of a simple paper, it's a symbolism of true love (man-woman, man-man, woman-woman). We are nothing to impose strict social statement without seeing the prejudice that such things makes in other lives: suicidal tendencies, drugs, infidelity, depression, unhappiness, divorce, children with separated parents, and the majority charge with this heavy backpack (of being unacceptable) until the death.
Our children will grow up exposed to see homosexuality everywhere. I think that we have to take care of them explaining the truth: that the love is something relative and unexplored in human being.

In my point of view, marriage between people of the same sex should be legal.
First because they are absolutely like everyone else, I don't really see what if the differences between them and us, except that they love a person of the same sex, but is it a problem ? I don't think so. They are human beings, they breathe and live like us, I think that we don't have to forget it.
Then, I really think that it should be legalized because, as it has been said before, who are we to impose our will to other persons who have the same rights as us ? We should let everybody lives as he or she wants as far as he or she doesn't do harm to others.
Many persons seem to forget that we live in a democracy, and that even if we don't have the same status, the same life and the same habits, we share the same air and the same planet.
Everyone has the control of his or her life. We should be equal in every domain.

Same sex marriages should be illegitimate because it is wrong. Homosexual individuals should not disobey God. They should love themselves instead of hurting themselves.
Just curious why do some people feel hopeless and disappointed on the opposite sex and become homosexual anyway? We cannot use one person or a group of people to determine the rest of the opposite gender. =)

i think it's a case-by-case basis.. Like, here in our country, it's not legal, thus it's not permitetd.. possibly because of our religion.. while in other countries, it is acceptable.. the question of whether it should be permitted or not varies from one person to another, a culture to another, a country to another.. in my opinion, whatever it is other people opt.. respect them, we must..

I agree. =)

In my opinion, this different marriage will bring negative impact to their adopted kids in the future. Man and woman can complete each other. There are some specific things that make man and woman absolutely different. By changing that absolute things, human become more and more gain power to change many things later. I don't consider it as good change. So, I disagree to gay marriage.

Wow... What these people to achieve? A child?
It's very irrational marriage betwen the same sex. For example; 2 men is making love. What they do??? Is penis come to rectum? I think it's hurt...
For me, married is about 2 people from different sex, making love, making 'normal' family with their own kid.

Would you please correct my sentences?

In my opinion marriage between people of the same sex isn't anything so much bad how people say of course civil marriage. This people are living between us and it isnt anything new they want have normal life and families for them merrage is something important like for everyone. They don't harm anybody by marriage.

i had married may wife last year. What's the matter?!
I don't want to produce children. Should everybody only marry anybody to making babys??
I am not stubid, not a freak, only a human.
I only live in a good civil union, respectfully, lovely, in good and in bad times.
We doing nothing other than straight peoples. We want to spent our time, our live together - what's wrong about that! I don't endanger the "normal" alliance, how could i do that - marry your love - i don't come to disturb..
I don't hurt someone - so don't bother me.

I think that it should be permitted. Everybody has right to be happy and we can't prohibit marriages between people of the same sex. If two men or women love each other why would they pretend and be unhappy?

On the one hand marriages between people of the same sex should be permitted but on the other they shouldn't.
I know that 'everybody loves somebody sometimes', but I want to live in a normal world where family consist of dad, mum and children, so wedlocks between people of the same sex are a bit abnormal, unnatural and it's discordant with my religion.

We should be tolerant but I think ,,gay marriage" is controversial. Nevertheless , I have anything against civil partnerships. When two people love each other we can't deny their get marriage.
,,Love is blind" - these are words , with I agree. Love is the strongest feeling.
Albeit, I'm strongly disagree with rights of child adoption. Normal family consist of mather, father and children. we can't change order from time immemorial .

I think that the marriages between people of the same sex should be permitted because everyone has the right to love. What is more in my point of view if people love toghether, then for example sex or religion shouldn't be important. Moreover if people are happy when they are a couple with someone of the same sex they should be toghether as long as it is possible because in our life we should do everything what can make that we will be smiling and happy. :)

I think marriages between people of the same sex could be permitted. According to me, homosexual humans aren't strange. They have only different sexual orientation. Nevertheless, I don't agree with countries, which decide to permit homosexual people to rights of child adoption.

In my opinion marriages between people of the same sex should be accepted everywhere. I think it isn't anything bad and it's normal. A lot of people say that people of the same sex can't be together, but if they love each other nobody should prohibit them do what they want. Also I think that nobody should look at othets opinion.

In my opinion we should authorized marriage between people from the same sex because they are like everyone else, they love someone and just want to share their life with them and celebrate this like normal people. So why is not permitted ? We don't choose who we love.

In my mind "Marriages" between people of the same sex are not something evil. They are also people and they should have the right to love and live together. Everybody has some deviation from normality. They also have but this devation is more noticeable.You should consider the moment when you tell someone about your deviation. How will you feel in the moment when he will ridicule you or he will not find understanding of you? We should try to understand their situation.

I think so but personally disgusts me.

From my point of view homosexual marriages should be forbidden because homosexual couples dont provide good education for their child. I can't imagine a young boy who was rised up by two gays because he won't have a typical features of real man. This child won't be normal because father don't replace mother and mother don't replace father.

I am sure, the people who treat civil unions different to marriage will also treat "same sex marriage" differently to "heterosexual marriage" If someone asked me, i would not mind allowing homosexual marriages. But i do not feel like being all "yes! this should be allowed!". So i not say yes, or no. But these all stem from my interpretation.

I don't understand these kinds of remarks. Do you have any arguments to prove that parents from the same sex can't provide a good education. The love of parents, of the same sex or not, is more important for the children. It's just because we need to be open minded and not always think about just the generality a mom and a father, but more the well being of the childrens. So for the moment, nothing prove that two parents of the same sex can't provide this.

In my opinion the case of marriages between two people of the same sex is something we have
to accept in the modern world. People do different things to be happy and i think we should just get used to it because it's their own life and their own choice. We can't change their preferences so we should just let them be happy.

I agree with people who think that marriages between people of the same sex should be permitted. Homosexuality isn't a disease. On the other hand I'm opposed to homosexual adopted children. Maybe I'm conservative, but it's my opinion

I think that marriage between people of the same sex should be allowed. If two people love each other we do not change this. Even if you do not accept their love does not cease to exist. We can only help people love this.

In my point of view marriages between people of the same sex should not be allowed. I think that because it is disgusting when i see two people of the same sex who are holding hands or kissing each other. When a pair of these people want a child this is incorrect because the child can not have two moms or two fathers.

The Bible says homosexuality is wrong and it also says homosexuality is a sin.

The Bible also says that we have to love our neighbor so.....?

I don't like seeing people of the same sex kissing each other, I find it so unnatural and I cannot think to a family composed of two men or two women but, as Papa Francesco always says: Who am I to judge the others?

First of all i want to know the origin of same sex concept.Where did it come from ??? Is that God creation or the part of mental retardation of a human being. If is really God creation then i think it must be legalized because in that particular case one who is involved in same sex is completely innocent, what he can do if God has made him or her this way. If it is 2nd case then i think we should work upon it ,People involved in same sex must be considered as mentally retarded and he must be given treatment to improve on it

I think that we can't discriminate about how we love. So if we have clear this right, it's obvious that people with the same sex can get married.
I grow up with a family that teached me what's wrong and what's good, in that way they teached me that people of the same sex can't get married because that isn't naturally, why people who love people of the same sex are not natural? Well, in the same way, black people can't have rights. That's a thinking about hundred years ago. Homosexual people born like that and black people too. So because people who don't continues stupid rules and "natural" stereotypes of the society have fewer rights? I don't think so.

Because it was illegal when I was growing up why am I now expected to accept it? For 50 years of my life these people have been shunned prosecuted, put in prison etc., and now we are expected to accept them with open arms...Sorry no can do.

I do however think if people want to be gay (queers in my day) thats ok as long as they do not flaunt it, and it stays behind closed doors, but marry, no way as marriage is a union between a man and a woman normally to have children.

According to my view , it must not b legalized . It is opposite of natural & religious rules & morality .

religion, status, social, political clashes...

It's hard to say, I have never talked about it, but I think that maragies between same sex people should be permitted, because everybody can unthertake different decision about his own life. It is personal issue how everybody create his life. I consider homosexuality it's a kind of mental disorder which is hard to cure. More over it isn't considered as a sin. So the sofiety should be tolerant.

In my opinion marriages between people of the same sex should be prohibited. It isn't normal that people of the same sex be family. Normal family contains of wife, husband and children. Men and men or woman and woman can't have children and it is against nature. In any living species animals of the same sex can't create relationship. I also think that marriages between people of the same sex are a product of the modern world.

In my opinion, marriages between the same sex shouldn't be permitted. I don't have got anything versus this kind of relationships, but they cannot have got any of children, so they cannot make a really family. Nowadays are more a couple of the same sex than 20 or 30 years ago. But I don't think it is a good idea that this kind of marriages should be permitted.

I think that "marriages" between people of the same sex can't be permitted because it isn't normal. Love is diffrent but when man and man want to have children and be family - it isn't working. In my opinion only woman and man should have a law to get married. This relationship is natural and natura has created them to do this.

I think, that marriages between people of the same sex shouldn't be permitted, because I suppose that it isn't normal. Love between man and woman is perfect love, because of this relationships can be children. But on the other hand I don't against gays, but In my opinion they shouldn't take care of children. Nowadays are more a couple of the same sex, but I think, that this is only new trend, because people want to be original. It is very important at present

I thinkt that marriages between people of the same sex should be permitted, because love is love. Themost important is that they are in love and respect each other! Also they can be family to. Thankts to that abandoned children have a family! That is the most important! That they don't have to grow up in foster family or in family where they don'y be loved. In fact it is not our business who men or woman love! Their life not ours!

It's a hard and one of the most important question in recent years which have a lot of issue to consider. I'm tolerant person who follow the rule which is about to live own life and let the other part of world do the same. I think that homosexuals have the same law to love and show their happiness like a heterosexual couples. In conclusion marriages between people of the same sex should be legalized. They are just like we with the same bodies, brains, jobs, dreams and hearts full of feelings. Love knows no boundaries. And homosexuals should have no problems to get married.

I think that a marriage between persons of the same sex should be prohibited. Personally, I think that homosexual couples have become a fashion in the 21st century, and there isn't a defect. What is more I am a believer and I believe that God didn't create us so as to connect with people of the same sex, on the contrary.

I think that marriage between people the same sex should be permitted. I don't mind it. Love is love and it isn't important between who. Everyone has a right to live in their own way. I can't understand people, who is against homosexual marriage. They don't have any rational argument, which convinces me to their opinion.

Definitely not. I am opposed to same-sex unions. How do they imagine their children's future? It should be banned. Just married man-women should be. It disgust me.

I am tolerant but traditional person. For me marriages between people of the same sex shouldn't be allowed. It's scary for me when two men are kissing each other. But i think that they can exist in peace and calm in their houses and i don't have probem with that .

In my opinion marriages between people of the same sex should'nt be permitted. It isn't normal, and if that marriages will be permitted, children will think this is normal, and we will have more marries between people of the same sex. I don't say they can't love each other. They can and I don't have anything against it, but marriage of two men or women isn't normal and it shouldn't be permitted.
