@@JoeyT1 The way I see it is whatever two consenting adults do is their own business. I don't have the right to infringe (nor would I want to-do someone is lucky enough to be happy, win.) But people seem to think that with their religious lifestyle choices they can judge from a higher place. These days, it's fundamental evangelicals who are causing an awful lot of problems...look at who they voted in-it led to a terrorist uprising. I'll trust my friends in the LGBTQ group thank you very much.
So perfectly put! Bottom line, as you said, this has zero impact on anyone but gay people. If these judgmental religious people thinks it’s a horrific sin, then all they have to do is not marry someone of the same gender. Period. “Problem” solved for them. Now everyone can go about their business and be happy! Yay!! Ain’t life grand?!? ✌🏻🙂✌🏻
The effect is at a societal level. Gay marriage actually improves us as a society. It means we are more inclusive, that gay people have the same access to marriage privileges as everyone else, that their children can feel their family is like all the other families. Gay marriage is more than accepting homosexual relationships. The legalisation of gay marriage sanctions these relationships and brings them into the general acceptance of all familial activity. Basically, it makes us better.
I never understood how being gay infringes on their religious freedom. I was taught to love your neighbor as you would love yourself. Religious freedom is both a weapon and a shield for their bigotry IMO
I agree. I also extend that to religious people can FEEL however they want to feel about abortion. Nobody’s making religious people have abortions and it doesn’t infringe on their religious freedom.
@@mariorizkallah5383 What? Murdering someone is not even on the same field with issues like gay marriage. I don't know anyone that is for murder and has to be told not to commit it. That makes zero sense in this conversation.
+Sweet Chicken She's clearly a fake tanned white lady lol. And I wouldn't mind doing her, I find her attractive. And no, since she's Jewish, I doubt she dates men who aren't millionaires
The problem is they want to control what others do (so called Christian conservative republicans) in the name of Christianity, and totally forget about separation of church and state. And a bunch of them use the bible to control OTHER people, they hardly practice anything in it only what serves them or/and what they can use to control other people. Control yourself.

@faultroy uhm, pardon? in my opinion, ALL marriage is stupid in today's society, not just gay ones. many end in terrible divorce or abusive spouses/a generally sucky view at your partner. why? because unless you sign a prenup, most of the time everything is split 50/50, 70/30, 60/40, need i go on? that's why many stay with spouses they resent, because they may not be able to afford living on their own. it's not a gay or woman thing at all, it's a societal thing. people aren't advocating for gay marriage because the destruction of America is here (don't get me wrong, we're pretty close with the stuff happening now), they're advocating because gay people and straight people are equal. usually i don't like advocating for any marriage unless you are absolutely positive that it's going to work out. even then, it's hard to say. the whole point is, if straight people can resent and divorce their partners, or love and cherish their partners with a sheet of paper saying it's official, why can't gay people? equally, if gay marriage isn't allowed, why should straight marriage be allowed? what on earth do you mean "the gays and women have done a great disservice to this country"? the black statistic doesn't go for ALL women. it's not just gay marriage that's stupid, it's ALL marriage. there isn't sanctity in marriage anymore. there is not a gay marriage problem, there is an overpopulation problem. many gay people want gay marriage so they can adopt. y'know, not bring anther child into this world and instead take care and love one that has already been here. what common sense/historical reasons are there to not gay marry?
@faultroy I didn't say they were equal socially, economically, politically, etc., but they are equal as HUMANS. People are just that; people. nothing more, nothing less. Also, if the government and pretty much everyone around me is lying, why on earth would i trust you? im not doubting the things you're saying, but it's called using sources. you don't need to be married to raise perfectly normal kids. When did my gender have anything to do with the argument? You can call me an idiot all you want, but it doesn't make it true, the same way saying something is a fact doesn't make it true.
I love the line, "If you dont like gay marriage, then dont get gay married". And I believe this with all my heart that if you have issues with gay people, it says a lot about issues that you are repressing.
I used to have issues with it. I was raised to have issues with it. I felt offended and disgusted when I saw two women holding hands at the dmv. That's how my parents taught me to feel and react. And then I grew up and realized what other people do has nothing to do with me. Literally no effect on me if my neighbors are gay and married. Furthermore, if I'm unable to see them as people who are just as deserving of love and happiness as me, that says everything about me and nothing about them.
@@vintagearisen You said a key thing. You grew up. Chances are when you grow up, read a few books and venture out into the world a little bit, you get smarter. Cheers.
@@vintagearisen It affects soceity and it has led to the "slippery slope" where now we're forced to accept people who think they're the opposite and where some kids are encourage to destroy their bodies.
TayTay BeyNippy perhaps. I get the feeling she would be self aware enough to think she wouldn't be qualified. I mean, no one really is and she would do at least a decent job, but she is too much of a realist to think she should run. I'd vote for her, though.
Alpha1 Omega2 great. now prove that creator exists then prove it is against gay marriage. then convince everyone who doesn't share your religion that they should have their lives controlled by religious laws.
The only concern that government should have with marriage is tax purposes and the legal binding side of it. Other than that, the rest is none of the government's business.
I mean the government has to keep older people who may have an unnatural desire towards minors from ever getting their creepy hands on said minors 😶 So while yes the government should stay away from trying to enforce a patriarchal view of marriage on the country, we should also be aware of the fact that there are some very disgusting people who want to harm children.
@@dmnemaine Oh I know; I was just trying to make sure that the op knew that the last thing that they said didn't come off as implying that people who are interested in children in that way was not appropriate. 😶
she’s grifting. marriage is between man and woman, we all know that. the balance of male and female is the only reason we have people on earth right now. straight people be fuckin. the farther we stray from that base concept, the more danger we put ourselves in. you can label it as hate but that’s just a ploy to get what you want. gay people could have domestic partnerships that are identical to marriage except for the label. the reason they need husbands and wives is because they want to live a straight life when they’re not straight. not only is it appropriation, but it is bastardization. gay people are a lovely, important part of society, but treating them exactly like straight people leads to a breakdown of what is and isn’t normal. if men can marry men, women can be womanizers, men can be misandrist, and everyone can be a hypocrite. all logic goes out the window because you people don’t understand the significance and history of marriage and yet absolutely NEED to redefine it
I agree. It's going to be stupid. It's now legalized in almost or around 20 states. We're getting there! Who knew it would be legalized in so many states 5 years ago? I sure as hell didn't. The moment these people have a close person dear to them tell them they're gay, they will realize and start to support it. Sad, but mostly true for 90 percent of parents/friends/family.
Dena Campbell Even if you're lesbian (Which I HIGHLY doubt) You're dead wrong. It's not a choice, no one chooses to like something. I seriously just think you're a troll. Back in ancient Greece homosexuality was a common thing, until people came and forced the Greeks to convert. People had to fucking hide for the fear of lynchings, of stoning, for not being accepted. The only uneducated person here is you. YOur arguments are all false and can be proven so with a simple google search. Just because one person (who again, I'm pretty sure is bullshitting because they're anonymous on the internet and can use it to further their agenda) who is confused on their sexuality thinks it's a choice doesn't speak for anyone else. Becaus it's not a choice. That's a proven fact.
Dena Campbell its more like your sexual orientation is Str8 and your choosing to be gay to be a fucker ... But in reality there are many people who cannot choose their sexual orientation unless they are BI then they can choose ....
Dena Campbell is not a lesbian. Note her terminology ("If you think I am the only gay who knows all this"). She slips in and out of talking about the hummasexshuls and "I am a gay" into talking as if she were a lesbian. If she were a lesbian, she would not the sexual attraction one has for the same gender is innate. You are born that way. I should start going onto christian chat pages and pretend to be a devout christian, while doing my best at the same time to undermine the fantasy of religion.
As a gay man, 27 years old; who’s been a fan of Judge Judy since elementary school, this makes me love Judge Judy more than I already did. Judge Judy has more common sense than anyone on the planet. We need more people like her in this world!
Marissa S F Probably not since it's completely idiotic to be so concerned with what sex 2 consenting adults are doing that you get your panties all in a twist since it literally has zero affect on anyone else. And if you're doing something completely idiotic you definitely don't have much common sense.
Marissa S F. Real talk. I like her more because she supports gay marriage. i just found this video and shes right. We have more important concerns in this country. Gay people do pay every bill and tax I do so I dont care if they want to get married. And then the honesty of it is what if someone doesn't believe in God why should they be held to something based on what they dont believe in. What she said was very real, no bull shty.
Christopher Royal Don't forget what George Carlin said as well. Christian's are against abortion, and gays are an entire class of people who don't get abortions, you'd think they'd make natural allies.

And we all know how annoying Hilary can be, and that us Democrats tend to have people like Anthony Wiener and John Edwards, but at least we know how to get shit done and not be a judgmental, prejudice, self-assured, self-righteous, right-winged, dictating asshole! You do realize we live in a democracy, right? And that our very government in which you overbearingly defend has a little saying about "separation of church and state" from within the Bill of Rights? In other words, just because you're a so-called "Christian" doesn't mean that you're allowed to dictate over what people should believe in. A real Christian is neighborly, loving, caring, respectful, and follows the 10 COMMANDMENTS! Not the Old Testament!
"Love thy neighbor", meaning that you shouldn't bash gays, or else God himself will judge you! It's nobody's place to judge someone who's different and/or who isn't a white male from BFE mid-America! Brown people (Native Americans) were here before a single white person stepped foot on our own soil! So next time while you're out in public and you happen to see somebody who's not from within your own little criteria (i.e Jewish, Russian, Mexican, Asian, Muslim, or an average woman working at a job), show a little respect, will ya'? Thanks and God Bless!

+ManInTheBigHat She didn't betray Carson. It was the other way around. He snubbed her for decades because he thought, as a woman in those times, she shouldn't have taken the job she was offered. He saw himself as her "career benefactor" and as she progressed he resented it as though he had exclusive rights.
Bringing Joan on his show was a vote of no confidence in her. Promoting her was kind of an insult, being as she was a woman. Joan should have sued. Judy could have taken the case and put Johnny in his place. Show him for the sham he really was.

She wouldn't say "gay people can feel what they want" because their the ones having to deal with other people's shit in this matter. This marriage matter.
Marissa S F does me marrying have anything to do with you lmao? No. You live your little life and I live little old mine. Ultimately everyone wants happiness. And your religion or whatever should never infringe on my right to be happy. You can be happy ignoring me and my wife. I can't be happy if I wasn't allowed to marry lmao But whatever,it's already legal and besides,separation of church and state means no religion can get in my way,so let's keep it that way.
***** Nancy Grace was never a judge, and thank god for that. It's bad enough she was an assistant prosecutor, where at the very least damages from her inability to remain objective were somewhat mitigated by her boss (the county D.A.) and the judiciary (as evidenced by their frequent and numerous repudiations of her). In the 10 years she served as a prosecutor, she was censured by the Georgia Supreme Court three times. With one judge eventually writing that she habitually displays contempt 'for the *notions* of due process and fairness'. Not just due process itself, but the mere idea of due process. The very idea that our culture affords a defense system (even if it's not perfect) to people she feels are guilty, is a completely incensing, foreign concept to her. I think she actually takes it as a personal insult that judges don't just convict people on her word, and she has to take action to prove it. This is a women who let a film crew into a murder scene to film an unflattering documentary for CNN about the suspected killer, which she starred in, WHILE SHE WAS PROSECUTING THE CASE!
maxdecphoenix thanks for the information. shes a fucked up human and the fact that she not only has a show but that people like her ideas and opinion frightens me. now im gonna go murder some babies because i smoke weed.
“Look in the mirror & make that change.” - MJ Change is difficult for lots of people who feel like they are being left behind & instead of TRYING to change to become more compassionate, they dig in their heels & become more angry about the world changing around them.
Some things don't change. A boy grows into a man, but he remains a male and likewise a girl grows into a woman but remains female. Humans cannot redefine what the Creator has already determined and set. Marriage is between male and female. For all who choose to forget, look at nature.
In California they used to word propositions backwards which was super confusing for voters. Newsom made that illegal just a year ago, so now ballots propositions are worded more simply like "should gay couples be allowed to get married".

Patrick Saxon gay men and women can have kids...they just require assistance like a lot of straight couples, are women with fertility issues also abominations? Also the attitude of be fruitful and multiply is destroying this planet, we are massively overpopulated, pollution is an issue, the environment is an issue, poverty is an issue, 2 consenting adults who aren't related to each other and are of age and sound mind getting married is no one's business and it's the least of our problems
Patrick I dont know if you know this but--that book is fucking old and also: the world is overpopulated, the last thing we need is more kids. the bible is irrelevant in this day and age-a simple fairytale-not that youre going to see that but whatever.
So wise that 61% of her decisions have been overturned on appeal for failure to adjudicate on the law in effect where the plaintiff and defendant come from.
Anon Ymous - There's a website that scores all the television judges and had been for years. The significance here is not the automatic right to appeal which doesn't normally exist in binding arbitration like JJ. They are reviewed by a legal staff when guests question the way the arbitration was handled. JJ leads the way at 61% amended decisions or outright overturns. The best Judge Marilyn Milian at
As a Christian I believe God loves everyone even members of the LGBTQ+ community. As an adult who worked for an insurance company as well as a hospital I understand that being able to marry goves you protection and equal rights in the event of serious illness of the other spouse that just living as a married couple with out that documentation would not.
Wow! God *"even"* loves members of the LGBTQ+ community. Well, that's real big of him! They do say there's no hate like Christian love. I see their point.
God is supposed to love everyone. And if God feels something is wrong, then God will judge that person when their time of judgement comes. But it is out OUR place to judge that person (in a religious context) because we are not God. If you really get down to it.... beyond the simple example of "judge not, lest ye be judged", if you claim to speak for God in judgment of someone else, especially hostile judgment,.... wouldn't that qualify as not only bearing false witness but also using the name of The Lord Thy God in vain? Honestly, if I were Christian, I would feel the LGBTQ+ Community was a test to see if I truly believed in the word of Jesus and truly sought to follow his example. After all, there is no stronger judge in one's ability to love others than to confront them with something or someone that makes them uncomfortable. There is no asterisk of "*unless or or
@@k1productions87 Yeah, that's right, we're just there to test you. It's all about you. We're not simply human beings loving who we love and living our lives. We're a test for YOU! Because it's a GIVEN, apparently, that our love, our lives, and our very existence is a BAD thing - we're all filthy sinners, right! - but because you Christians are sooooo full of love and forgiveness, you TOLERATE us to prove how "good" you are. Well, thank you so much for passing the test and putting up with us!
@@kitsworld I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. I was trying to speak in a language that Christians could understand, but that is much harder than it sounds. As for myself, I am not Christian, nor have I ever claimed to be. As for tolerance though, that is the first step. You do have to allow steps, rather than expecting people to just skip right to the end. Not saying you have to make steps in their direction or meet them halfway, merely recognize that making steps takes time, as there are several levels from tolerance to acceptance. Those who actually are making the effort should be recognized for doing such, rather than lumped in with the whole because they aren't at the goal line yet.
@@k1productions87 It's been 2000 years. How long are we supposed to wait to not get un-alived in some countries? Are we supposed to thank people for taking baby steps towards "tolerance"? And why should we be extending ANY courtesies and considerations to those who would oppress us - even if they think they're on the side of good - by taking small steps towards an unseeable end-goal distant years after we're all gone? You're just kicking the can further down the street, hoping a future generation will deal with it. That's precisely why there are STILL places I can't go for fear of my life! No! No, no, no! It has to end now! Religion and "religious freedom" has been - AND REMAINS - a license to commit violence and hatred towards whole sections of society. So, yeah, baby steps. Thanks so much for the crumbs!

Judge Judy should be the fucking President!!! This Country would be better off with a productive very intelligent and caring woman like her. She understands what's important and I always agree with her
Oh my, I read that wrong the first time. I thought you were saying Judge Judy should be fucking the president, and then I pictured the Sheindlin-Obama coupling and got a little sick. But now that I read it correctly, yes, you are 100% right!
This is why I LOVE ME SOME JUDGE JUDY! I think ppl see the JJ on the show and even a lot of legal professionals pick apart her “performance” when that’s what it is, a “performance” for TV. Clearly, outside of her role as a TV judge - she is poised, clear and concise, intelligent, passionate, etc. Judge Judy is amazing!
It would be! I'd love for it to happen. but a few things, some of which are a little controversial. But the big question of her being on the supreme court is, WHAT THE HELL WILL I WATCH ON TV?! tl;dr, the supreme court doesn't air often, there's other court shows and trash tv that I'll laugh at, but JJ is really the one that keeps it real the most. The supreme court only rules every once in a while, and I don't think it's televised! Sure, there's hot bench (a show Judge judy created), but the show is slightly less entertaining compared to JJ. Meanwhile there's other court room shows like the people's court - Judge Marilyn Millian (however you spell it) is HALF, at most, the power and wrath of Judy. If you bring her husband Jerry back to preside on the people's court so he could rule there like he used to, then you're fine, but that'll never happen. Sure there's other shows where I can laugh at the stupidness of others like Springer, Wilkos, and Maury, but that's trash TV - well there's wilkos there too. I mean Steve Wilkos is a real tough guy, he'll whip them into shape if they fail the lie detector test. It's funny, yes, but Judge Judy is really the one who keeps it interesting! Then there's cartoons and other comedies, but that's not as funny as seeing idiots being scared straight by a judge that tells it like it is. I WON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO WATCH WITHOUT JJ!
Brad F being a judge for civil litigation and a judge on the highest court in the nation are two very, very different things. I fuckin love judge Judy but that doesn’t make her qualified as an analyst of federal law and more importantly the constitution.
She admitted voting for Obama in 2008 and sitting 2012 out and she supported trump recently. She’s open minded, she has a bit of both policies from both sides. She appeals to all.
My brother, 5 years older, didn't speak to me for 4 years after my sister blabbed that im gay. He went on to marry and divorce SIX times. My sister was married three times. Don't get me started on her hypocrisy.
And these same people want to get rid of "no fault divorce", i.e. divorce because we just don't love each other anymore. So the only one who could call for a divorce is the man. And if it goes through,... I bet the next talking point will be "It doesn't count as sexual assault if we're already married"
I’m religious and I’ve always been taught that it doesn’t matter who you marry as long as you love them, I always get embarrassed seeing people saying “it doesn’t go with the bible! God won’t allow it!” They’re making it seem like all Christians/religious people are homophobic when we’re not
But if you aren’t homophobic than you can’t be a real Christian cuz it’s in their Bible and you can’t just pick and choose what bullshit in the Bible to believe in and what not to
@@bryanmiller476 but in the bible it also says that you can’t eat lobster and that’s bs I believe god just wants everyone to love each other and be equal
Love this, the "old guard", lol, yes! She is so dead accurate here! Awesome teaching about the importance of tolerance and acceptance of differences! 🙏😎
@@Ignasimp Absolutely true as well. However, there is no such thing as "gay marriage." You mean gay civil union. Marriage has a natural meaning. Only people of the opposite sex can have a marriage. But we should love gay people no less than we love cis people because love does not discriminate. God made us to love and be loved.
@@Lerian_V I'm sorry but you are wrong. There is nothing natural about marriage. It's a human convention which means it has an artificial origin. Marriage existed way before it was a Christian or Jewish thing, and there is no reason to not consider gay unions as marriages. It's just a way of deflecting from the issue. The issue is that gay people deserve to be able to have a partner with whom they can share their life with and share the same advantages (except those that depend on biology) a conventional marriage would have.
@@Ignasimp Marriage is grounded in natural law. It has telos which defines its role in the world. The Christianization of marriage is simply an elevation of the it because God reiterated its importance. All the formalities and extra add-ons happened over the centuries as societies and cultures develop and change. We can consider gay unions as marriages (as oxymoronic as that is). We are human beings with free will and we can turn reality on its head and redefine things however we want, but like MLK wrote in 'Letter From Birmingham Jail': "How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. He was obviously talking about law in the letter, but the general point is that Natural Law (which includes moral law) defines the purpose for every human behavior or act. The moral law forbids sexual immorality, not human partnership which we all need.
society is so crazy. Men loving men is literally natural and has been a thing FARRRRR before our current society. It's been a thing since humans first existed. Probably even before then with species we came from. It's crazy how this hatred and inschrhrity is only a recent thing and yet this society is obsessed with it.
@@marissasf7196 In that regard, if she were against gay marriage, I would disagree with her, but I’ve always admired and respected her no bullshit approach to things and that wouldn’t change.

I never really liked Judy when l was younger but as an adult she is such a wonderful woman smart, logistical and very straight to the point good woman!
I agree with JJ, there is so much in the world that need helping but instead America is focusing on two people of the same gender that love each other being able to marry. America is one of the most powerful countries in the world and could help our eco system, or even world hunger. Instead they focus themselves on Christian belief and other shit like that. over religious people just disgust me, so if any over religious people decide to reply some absolute shit on this comment, well I'm just going to tell u about your seelf
Richard Agnusich Typical ignorant Christian. God created Jews as well. When are you American Christians actually going to apply some intellect to your reasoning. You act like war mongers. Thank god your type of Christian is confined to American soil otherwise I would be ashamed to call my self Christian.
I'm Roman-Catholic and I have two dear gay friends who are married to each other. Sure, I believe in God. That doesn't mean I can't also accept the fact that there are biological reasons for homosexuality. I don't agree with "Christians" (Catholic or Protestant) who keep tooting the cliché about homosexuality being a sin. That's a Leviticus quote, NOT one of Christ's actual teachings. Racism and homophobia are far bigger sins than interracial marriage and homosexuality any day of the week. God bless.
I will never understand why society has hated gay people for so long. I know the answer is simple; the feeling of superiority and power over them, but I seriously can’t put myself in those people’s minds. We’re all just trying to be successful and live our lives to the fullest with the people we truly love. To be truly happy is the ultimate goal, as said by Aristotle. So why do we think that making other people miserable, simply because of who they love, achieves us the goal of true happiness? It doesn’t, and it only promotes hurt and pain. “Others’ misery does not result in our content.” And that’s my quote that I stand by for life.
I disagree that the hatred stems from a power fantasy. The hatred stems from fear of the different. This is how a lot of similar things start, just as the mistreatment of different races and the disabled. Humans have an innate drive to “belong”, and naturally want to push away the “different.” Of course, this is a very easy drive to overcome if you actually use your brain, but unfortunately institutions such as religion make money off of this fear. Therefore, they have created possibly the most effective threat to capitalize off of fear- the concept of an eternal torture. The more afraid you are, the more followers they get. My point here is, religion is 100% the center of the hatred of LGBT people. Without it, this would never exist (or, to much less an extent). Even the homophobes who don’t claim religious reasons are likely to only believe based on false, made up information that was either created by, or perpetrated by religious institutions.
I've ALWAYS Loved Judge Judy because she's DIRECT and to the point & she can pick up on people's CRAP in a flash! Very intelligent and very classy woman and in my opinion she is extraordinary in every way a human being can possibly be! ❤️😊🏳️🌈
Literally the only way legalising gay marriage affects straight people is that they get invited to more weddings, and I personally see that as an absolute win.
In Australia in 2017 we had a voluntary marriage equality survey. The result was 77.5% YES and only 22% voted NO. - A Landslide! Marriage equality became law soon after. BUT one of the strongest opponents in Aust Parliament was Tony Abbott. His electorate voted 75% YES. But he was missing from the parliament when the vote was taken. At the next election, they voted him out of office. Interesting. BTW Tony Abbott's sister is gay.
I just find it ridiculous that people are against us gays getting married. Especially when tv shows like The bachelor and 90 day fiancé mock it so badly. Where is the uproar over that??
Because it is similar and relevant. People are being discriminated against for something with no basis. Race is not some special issue that is just incomparable.
I never understand how religion can justify people's bigoted opinions? There is absolutely zero substance to their cherry-picked values and morals, so why does anybody even consider their view? Blows my mind.
This is so refreshing. As a gay man it's always been so frustratingly impossible to describe why gay marriage should so obviously be legal. While knowing it would be arrogant to be so sure that my opinion weighs no more than others, it just seemed so obvious. So when someone like my main gal JJ describes exactly what I'm thinking in a way that is so clear and impossible to argue against - I just wanna binge watch her show even more.
+zaxmannyc You're really a fucking idiot. People are comparing apples to oranges. Scientific evidence exists that shows you were born that way, God made you that way, it has nothing to do with marrying pets. It is the same species. Same-sex relations were very common in ancient history. Educate yourself.
CyberSimsShows Well to be fair, nobody knows weither or not people are born gay! It is not considdered a scientific theory/ fact yet! However the majority of the tests that have been done suggest that being gay is present from birth! And no, god didn't create any gay people, not any straight people either! God isn't real!
Märt Själ Scientific evidence strongly suggests that you do not choose to be gay. Respect my beliefs as I respect your lack of beliefs. God is real and He makes people the way they are- gay/straight/bi/black/trans/white and so on
WHY are people pushing their religious beliefs onto the topic of same-sex marriage? It's not like homosexuals are even asking for more than heterosexual couples. They're simply asking to be equal to them! "Next thing you know, we'll be allowed to marry dogs." How dare you compare a consensual relationship with a dog! "Marriage is a sacred act between men and women." That's BS, considering there are already same-sex couples married by law. "It's not natural." Please, try again. Homosexuality is found in thousands of different species, including mammals like lions and humans. It's been around for thousands of years. "They can't have children! We'd die if we were all gay." First of all, there are over 7 billion people on this planet. We don't need more. We're overpopulated as it is. Second of all, it was recently discovered that lesbian couples could produce a daughter with the help of bone marrow. Third of all, not all people are gay! A majority of the population is straight. So the world isn't going to die out! Shocker! Fourth of all, there's this thing called adoption, or surrogation. I practically dismissed all of your legit reasons on why homosexual marriage shouldn't become legalized. If you even mention God, or your religion in anyway, so help me I will stuff my ears with your bibles. Stop shoving your beliefs down my throat because I won't take them seriously. Sorry to those that I've disrespected. I'm just giving back what I've received from your "friendly" religious friends.
You talk as if this is a civil rights issue, as if gays and the black struggle were the same. If homosexuality were natural, gays could make babies and be free from the health risks that come from anal sex and the STDs the come from Lesbian consummation. Straight people don't deal with these issues but gays do...why? If homosexuality was natural there would be absolutely zero issues to contend with. Another way to identify that gay marriage is NOT a civil rights issue is because the issue deals with their ability to marry while Blacks couldn't do anything without race getting involved, the issue is set SQUARELY on marriage. If you ever bothered to listen to the opposing party, you will find a lot of emphasis on "marriage being an institution." Educate yourselves on these examples for starters... www.heritage.org/issues/family-and-marriage/protecting-the-institution-of-marriage www.biblicalperspectives.com/books/marriage/1.html (yes, this article is Biblical in its origins and my retort to you is "shut up and actually listen to the rationale in its entirety." Being Biblical in origin is not an automatic dismissal in credibility.) Here's some more food for thought. What about the research that has shown that gays universally have had some issue's with their fathers while lesbians have had issues with their mothers? Did you not know this? When a mom or dad fails to provide the support and love for a child, that child will develop a fierce desire to fill that need which includes the possibility of marrying the same sex to have that need met. *Homosexuality isn't normal, it's a disorder that requires therapy.* Look up the articles, worth checking out. Lastly, shut up with the animals are gay too argument! Showing dominance and having penetrative sex is NOT the same thing!
Relationships are not all about sex! The main focus of a relationship is suppose to be the emotional connection and deep love between individuals. Sex is just a bonus. P.S. If you're relationship is only about sex, you might want to rethink the reasons your with this person. Besides that, there are plenty of ways for two consenting adults to be intimate. What nobody seems to notice is who you choose to love and sleep with is nobody else's business besides the two lovers, unless you choose to share that information. It is harming no one who you choose to love. And before anyone tries to bring religion into this, while it's perfectly fine for you to disagree with homosexuality and dislike it, this is the U.S. and we (U.S. citizens) have the right to marry who ever we want (as long as they are of age and consenting).
CHRISTIANS ARE SPEAKING UP BECAUSE IT'S AGAINST GOD, LIKE IT OR NOT AND NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE TELLS YOU GOD IS THE FINAL JUDGE HIS LAWS NEVER CHANGED. AS DID THE POPE THE COURTS THE PEOPLE ,MANY PEOPLE OF EVERY PLACE HAS CHANGED THEIR LAWS BUT GOD NEVER DID. HE WILL BE THE ONE DETERMINING YOUR FINAL DESTINATION HE WILL BE JUDGE AND JURY. YOU CAN EITHER PLEASE HIM OR GET HIM ANGRY, WE SPEAK OUT BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT ANYONE TO GO TO HELL, IF WE SAID NOTHING WE AS CHRISTIANS ARE NOT DOING OUR JOB.WHICH IS TO SAVE AS MANY SOULS AS WE CAN, I CAN LEAD YOU THERE BUT I CAN'T FORCE YOU TO LOVE GOD. DO AS YOU PLEASE , REMEMBER YOU WERE TOLD.WHEN YOU STAND BEFORE GOD.
I watch my late partner die before me. 16 years later it still hurts me that people cannot accept the love I have for him. To this day, I pay it forward for those who helped me try to treat him and help me with his passing. It still hurts my heart to have to acknowledge then a “loving god” wouldn’t understand my love for my partner.
I like this Judge Judy. ...She is nicer, progressive minded, open to change, charming, concerned....However, she is Rude-y Judy to me when she is on her court show! Bossy, pessimistic.... But this JJ, I DO like!
misstantrix She's still the same person & that rude, judgemental side of her is there. She is not a reasonable person & goes off on people that don't deserve it simply for her persona & without cause.
Considering what she is given to work with on her show I LOVE that attitude she puts off on it. She's definitely someone to look up to both in real life, and from her show.
Judge Judy for the win. This is what Ive said. Why does gay marriage bother people so much? No one is saying for YOU to marry a gay person or be gay. Its two people that want to have the same rights as everyone else. And like she pointed out not too long ago interracial couples weren't allowed either. Let people Marry the gender they ant and the person they want it doesn't effect you period.
