How does homosexual marriage affect you?
For those who are against homosexual marriage because your religion is against it, How does homosexual marriage affect you?
I am a heterosexual atheist, and I do not understand how homosexual marriage would affect you (or any of us) in a negative way.
I realize that it may be against your religion, but technically other religions are also against your religion. So I do not see why homosexual marriage being against your religion is a big deal.
Could you explain how it affects you so I can understand your point of view?

According to them it's a sinful lifestyle thus MUST NOT be condoned! Yeah..sure, like gluttony or dare I say bigotry? 'Tis funny how those lifestyles are not restricted from marriage. Hmmmmm.....sounds to me like religious types are homophobic and are trying (like they do with many other issues) to pass the blame to "God" and the not so holy babble.
I just wish they would own their position rather than hiding behind religion and using lies to pass hateful legislation.
Just say it Christians, homosexuality grosses you out...makes you sick thus you are afraid of seeing or acknowledging it. Say it and stop pretending its about society and children and blah blah blah.
A decrease in the number of traditional marriages has a negative impact on society as a whole. That has been statistically proven. This decrease has been happening with our without the homosexual marriage issue. Homosexual marriage is just another aspect of the societal and cultural downward spiral that is occurring over the last 50 or so years. Does it affect me personally? Not really. But I am not against it based solely on religious belief.
I am a Christian. I do not have anything against homosexuals, and do have friends who are homosexual.
What I do not agree with though is CHURCH marriages. The bible mentions homosexuality as a sin in several passages, and no where in the bible is homosexuality ever cast in a positive light. How does gay marriage affect me? When a church allows gay marriage, they are twisting the meaning of the bible - I will not attend a church that is not based on the word of God - so it affects where I attend.
It makes Christians feel that we are somehow condoning the marriages, if we voted for the people who enacted the policies that make it legal.
It also makes us feel that our "group" is losing political power when the law moves in that direction.
Those are a few reasons, if I may play devil's advocate. (I don't actually have a problem with legalizing gay marriage, because I think the church should not be wielding political power to begin with. I do, however, feel strongly that my church should not be condoning it by marrying the couples before God, as this directly conflicts with the way we interpret Scripture.)
I would have to listen to anti-gays piss+moan for the rest of time itself which would eventially drive me insane and hence would result in me going on a 3,000,000 mile radius killing spree because there is no whiner like a religious anti-gay whiner
Note the hysterical claim that churches would be forced to perform gay weddings.
Churches have, and will always have, the right to deny people to get married in their church. No law can ever change this. No case of this will ever even make it to court.
The only person who would be denied the right to refuse to marry gay people is a court official.
Generations to come. The two become one. You say I am not homosexual. God says do not be unequally yoked. So if you have sex with another you are yoked together like oxen. Oxen are strong creatures pulling and turning at their own will. Never separated but agreeable. Yoked by the neck. Only God can break that yoke. You turn the other one turns always going in the same direction. So even if you leave that yoke,you will still have the same tendencies sexually. Subconsciously you will direct another to do it the way you liked it with them. You will drift to one relationship to another. Looking for that same feeling. God wants Godly offspring. The spirit of Homosexuality is not one of them. That is why God hates divorce. Homosexuality can not produce offspring less alone Godly ones.
When a person gets caught up in a relationship unknowingly sleeping with a bi-sexual predator. Their spirits become one. Even if they change partners sexuality.That spirit will still inhabit that body.When you jump in the bed with a person that is not a virgin. You harbor many peoples that have been with you. Homosexuality among other sexual deviations will be encountered in your children because the spirit transfers to your offspring through sex. You say I knew she is not born gay? Know she is not. But a spirit of deviation makes it so.
It may not happen in many generations.Yet at the time you least expect it will pop up it's ugly head. You may have married a virgin. Yet God says many are the iniquities of our forefathers but it is the Lord that delivers us from them all. God knew when it happened and only he can make the adjustments in our children. God wants to bring us to our knees. If we do not it will affect us in a negative way.

Even the thoughts of it can kill ones spirit. Your children may indeed act on it.
Some have sex when a woman is on her period. That also effects the blood line.
Homosexuality are any sex outside of marriage is a sin against God. Stop thinking religion. God made a man and a woman before man came up with religion. That is when John started looking at Steve.
God's strict laws against homosexuality were to prevent homosexuality from destroying a society in the long run. God treated it as a disease to society that would consume it over time if not removed early while it is non malignant.
The only way same sex marriage is currently affecting me is that I am saddened by the fact that some of my friends are not able to marry the love of their life.
It makes me pleased that despite so many things wrong with the world, we are making at least *some* moral progress.
