Is gay marriage really marriage?

Sol Allphin: Yes

Sheron Perrez: If you have a marriage certificate, it is a real marriage.

Raven Purl: Yes.

Eliseo Luma: Marriage is a legal arrangement which is controlled by law. In the places that accommodate same sex marriage, it is marriage.

Damaris Weiler: in Gods eyes it is not. In the legal system yes. This is why I don't understand Christians in such an uproar about the whole issue. What you do and believe in your personal life is your business. No one is forcing you to accept it but you have to do your job if for example you work at a clerks office to issue marriage license. That is just upholding the law and you are supposed to obey the laws of the land. It is not persecution or taking religious freedom away.

Delora Struzzi: The $500 we paid and the price of paper hanging in a frame on my living room wall says it is. So does my government. Finally...

Katheryn Skrobacki: Yep. It can even be undone by divorce as well.

F! iliberto Amauty: The practice of homosexuality is destructive to the human soul and God gave His warnings about this in the Bible. Supporting gay marriage is a sin because it means to support homosexuality. If a nation legalizes gay marriage, that nation will be cursed.Iniquities (sinful tendencies) pass down the generation line if they are not removed by the Blood of the Lord Jesus. Homosexuality is caused by iniquity and the Blood of Jesus cleanses the iniquities of all who accept Him as their Saviour.After a person accepts the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, they are transformed and made a new creature in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). So the gay person would be changed and so would the alcoholic, liar, drug addict, fornicator etc. It's the power of the Blood of Christ and the Holy Spirit in the believer that brings about this transformation.REDEMPTION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITHBecause mankind is incapable of meeting God’s standard of perfection necessary to abide in God’s pr! esence (Romans 3:19-20,23), God sent His Son Jesus Christ to p! ay the total debt for the believer’s sins and mercifully credits to his account Christ’s righteousness (Romans 3:21-28,5:1-11; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21). Jesus’ gracious act of atonement was complete and covers all sin (Colossians 2:13-14; 1 John 1:9). Salvation is not based on good deeds but according to the mercy of God (Titus 3:4-5). Believers are justified by faith; it is a gift by God’s grace (Romans 4:3-8; Ephesians 2:8-9). A true, living faith will result in a desire to live a holy, loving life of good works (Ephesians 2:10; Galatians 5:6; James 2:14-26), but failure to be absolutely successful at righteous living does not negate the believer’s justified status.If you sincerely say this prayer, your sins will be washed away, you will be redeemed to God, be saved from eternal torment and inherit the Kingdom of God:"Dear Jesus, I am a sinner. I repent of my sins. Please forgive me and save me by your shed blood; come into my heart. I want to receive you as my ow! n personal Lord and Savior. Amen"...Show more

Daren Ventrice: Yes of Course it is it is the Joining of two people in Loveyou will Find it is the same Marriage certificate

Shamika Schools: From a legal perspective they're the same, you're correct.. Also, when straight people marry they do so because they love that other person. Yes they're straight so they'd not want the same gender but the point is, they still choose thei! r love because they love them. It is love. When gays marry they love ea! ch other.. It is all love, so what's different? Nothing. So yes.

Buster Buchko: Do straight couples who were wed by the state count as married? Do straight serial divorcees who have 8 ex-wives or ex-husbands count as married? Shouldn't widows be automatically married of to any brothers of their husband? Do straight couples where either of them have had any sexual experiences count as married?Don't ***** about the bible standards of a couple unless you are willing to uphold all of them....Show more

Long Woltjer: Yes. If two people love each other than they are entitled to get married - regardless of what sex they are. Gay people do the exact same things in a marriage as straight people would. At the end of the day, love is love. Nobody should judge people for who they love.

Libby Berkovitch: Is a pop band really a band?Yes, it is REALLY!

Ardelia Liptow: The Constitution says marriage is marriage, married same sex couples say marriage is marriage and ! all federal and state courts say marriage is marriage. Therefor, marriage is marriage regardless of whining religious fundie bigots who beg to differ.

Clemente Schoeck: Yes it's real marriage.

Marcia Cheathan: In the eyes of God no but they don't care about His opinion so won't listen whilst on this earth. When this life is over they will have no choice but to hear His verdict.I don't interfere with the choices of others but do try to advise (especially when asked) because I don't wish them to face God's wrath later.

Roosevelt Pendill: Do you gay park you car? Do you watch TV gayly?

Doreatha Kjellsen: In my opinion, if it's a legal binding agreement between two consenting adults, it is marriage.

Cliff Jacoby: Marriage: (law) the state of being a married couple voluntarily joined for life (or until divorce).

Danette Slotnick: Yes of course it is. It's the consensual and contractual union of two unrelated adults, and that union is gender neutral. People who say it's not are just stating their opinion and should learn the law.
