Why are people against gay marriage?

Homosexuality IS a CHOICE!!!

Gays don't have a leg to stand on....

The director of the Human Genome Project, Dr. Francis Collins has stated that homosexuality is not "Hard Wired", there is no "gay gene". the Human Genome has been mapped and we now know there is no genetic cause for homosexuality!!!

PERIOD!!!

Because...

You're freaking kidding me right? We can't figure out why our brains function in different patterns let alone something this prevalent. We still don't truly know 100% why people go bald, have cancer, or develop autism or alzheimers.... Give me a break. This guy as no clue. It is here say just like anyone on this board.

Figure out sociopathy, bipolar disorder, fast-twitch muscle, the remaining wisdom teeth in our environment even. We are constantly evolving creatures. We will NEVER catch up to our own genomes. What a pompus statement.

Is there a "straight" gene, then? Or do other biological factors determine that?

Your DNA and genome don't work like you imply anyway. Even if you had a gene for something, it doesn't mean you would necessarily use it. Genes are activated by chemical reactions that result from different hormones, environmental factors, etc. that depend on what you think and do. For example, many people are born with a "cancer gene" but most of the time it isn't activated until 30+ years into life, presumably by some unhealthy mechanism.

You mean you are just going to DISMISS a scientists findings because it doesn't mesh with your twisted desires to have sex with the same gender?

It really is as simple as choosing what clothes you are going to wear or what food you want for dinner...YOU and ONLY YOU choose your own path, destiny or whatever you want to call it. AND you also choose your sexual preference. That's what it is after all...you PREFER having sex with the same gender or you PREFER not to...

CHOICE!!!

People are against gay marriage due to the fact they are affraid of a different view of sexuality. They may believe in God who forbids it, or they may have had a bad experiance around gay people, or they are plain homophobic. Gay people are going to be around if you like it or not.

America isn't Saudia Arabia. America started as a land of freedom and new opportunity.

If we, America have invited Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Asians (you get the point) to stay in the country and have freedom of speech for our own heritage rights and freedom of speech of the people, then yes gay marriage should be a personal right to the individuals.

It's time to leave the dark ages. Gay married people watching Dancing with the Stars at night-time really isn't going to hurt the world.

Gay married people watching a tv show dancing with the stars? Oh my God, them gay people must be the Anti Christ plotting to kill us all.

I can tell you why.
Probably because back in the 80's, gays were referring to their lifestyle as an "alternative lifestyle". Alternative to what?
At the time, I understood this to mean alternative to traditional marriage but now it looks like they've changed their minds about the alternative bit.

Also, because health insurance rates will go up.

To each their own. If some do not like it and have a problem with same sex couples..well then look the other way, walk away, go away!!!

I dont have any problem with people who get together with the same sex. Its their lives and I let them live it, just as others should allow others to live their lives as they see fit.

Chances are very good that those who gripe about it do some odd ball things of their own behind closed doors.

Live and let live.

Cheers!!!!

I will be the first to state that I do not want to see gay people going at it in public, hell, I dont want to see straight people going at it in public. I do not understand it, I do not know if it is genetic or not.

What I do know is this. According to the Constitution of the United States, all people are created equal, endowed with certain unaliable rights to include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Gay marriage should be legal based upon our own founding principles. We cannot have two seperate classes of citizens.

This man states that ,does he?, despite the studies on the brain that show that homosexual men have brains more similar to womens, and the women, more similar to men. Sound science seems to fly in the face of whatever that man states, so he just took a nose dive in credibility. As to the title being, why are people against gay marriage? It should be why are some people, because I believe all people regardless to age, sex, religion, ethnic origins, economic position, health or disability, and sexual orientation are entitled to the same rights and qualitative equality measures. Anything else is primitive.

Unfortunately there is but one answer to your question Religion, the very concept of marrige is a religeous concept, and the churches are dead against it and unfortunately religion controls our very exsistance how many politicians around the world are religious.

The very idea of christianity is the ultimate cult their powers reach to top of just about every government in the world that practices christianity, and if you talk to a non religious person most of them dont really care about same sex marrage (except for the homophbians).

But unfortunaely the control of governments is not only restricted to christians they are controlled by all the major religions look at all the the major developed countries of the world most desicions made of an ethical nature are infuenced by religion.

Whether you beleive in religion or not your lives are controlled by it which is why there is such a problem with same sex marriges
