Why are conservatives against g*y marriage?

Question

What does it matter if two same s*x people want to experience the joy of marriage.

If two people love each other, shouldn't they have the right to get married?

Answer 1

And liberals are not? Typical, no facts, just rant.  

Answer 2

It's not that we are anti g*y and want to hold people back.  We believe that marriage is something that happens when men and women are joined.  And we don't believe in changing the definition of marriage to include a man and a man or a woman and a woman or a woman and a dolphin, or me and my house or any other combination isn't really a marriage.  And we don't think we should have to acknowledge it as so.

Answer 3

It is really very simple.

They were told to believe this.  Quite simple.

Even Mr. I'm g*y But I Don't Believe In g*y Marriage.

Answer 4

Im a conservative and I am not against g*y marriage...  

Answer 5

They are against it because they think the bible tells them that it's bad.

I am not really for or against homosexuals having something called marriage with each other...

but I mean, it IS actually defined as between a man and a woman... and g*y people have the same rights straight people do... A g*y man can marry a woman and a g*y woman can marry a man...

THAT SAID:

I would be FOR allowing marraige between g*y couples. I do NOT see a problem with it.

Answer 6

I'm a homosexual and I'm against g*y marriage, but I think it should be up to each individual state.

Guess what, not all bisexuals & homosexuals subscribe to the liberal view of g*y marriage.

I also have g*y friends who are against anything that will erode the traditional definition of marriage.

Thank you for understanding not all in the LGBT community subscribe to those views.

Answer 7

ask Obama, he is against it too.

Answer 8

I'm not against g*y unions.

Answer 9

Because it's immoral.

Why not a 35 year old man and a 14 year old girl? It wasn't too long ago that there was barely a whisper about g**s and lesbians, sorta like pedophelia is now. Will pedophelia become the next "cool" thing like being g*y? I think it might not be so much about g*y marriage (which I oppose because I'd have to pay for and support someone else's immorality) but the overall decay of society as a whole.

Answer 10

I'm pretty sure you answered your own question.

Conservatives like to conserve the past, which includes only heterosexual marriage.

Answer 11

People against same-s*x marriage are pushing their religious beliefs on our diverse population.

Marriage is between two people who love each other and want to spend their lives together.

The separation of church and state should prohibit the government from ruling on who someone can fall in love with and marry. It is discrimination plain and simple.

If the religions don't agree with same-s*x marriage they are free to refuse to conduct the ceremony.

For those who say that it harms the sanctity of marriage, I say that divorce does a far greater harm to the sanctity of marriage.

Where is their outcry to eliminate divorce?

Answer 12

The same reason we oppose boys joining the Girl Scouts. They don't meet the criteria. And if you let boys join the Girl Scouts then it isn't the "Girl" Scouts anymore, is it?

Whether you believe in God or evolution, it takes a man and woman to make a family. Family is the basis for human society and civilization. If you destroy the family (which we are doing anyway without g*y marriage) then you destroy civilization.
