| 156 | 3:52 pm PST, Jan 25 | Anonymous | I do not support gay marriage, or gay ANYTHING for that matter. Neither does God. I am a devout Christian woman, and I believe what the Bible says about homosexuality being a sin. It seems that nowadays, people are being led to believe that they should be "politically correct" rather than be followers of Christ. Please bear in mind that, as a Christian, it's the gay lifestyle that I hate, not gay people. I believe that we should treat everybody, including gays, with love rather than hate. What we need to do is pray for these people and ask God to open their eyes to the truth. Nobody is born gay. If God is so against this way of life, then He would not have anybody be born that way. Doesn't that make sense? Homosexuals are made, not born. Being gay is a choice. God gave everybody the gift of free will, and sometimes people abuse that gift and use it to make the wrong choices. Make the choice now to follow Christ. He loves you and He will help you to go down the right path. All you have to do is pray and trust Him. | |||

| 153 | 11:56 pm PDT, Aug 18 | Olivia Geri | I feel it is wrong, it is a terrible sin. To allow it is like saying it is o.k and goes against the teachings and laws of God. It has been written so many years ago that homosexualality is a Grave and disgusting sin. This has been taught over the many many years this is scripture written from the word of GOD himself and the laws of God are broken and stained by this unGodly sexual practice. I am sickened by it and I am morally against it. | It would stain America and what America stands for and the princibles America was based on. | it is Morally wrong, two people of the same sex cannot pro create, doesnt that open any eyes. A woman was created for man, hence Adam and Eve not Adam and Bob. Homosexuality was created from the evil one Satan, and if this seed is entertained then this is what you get. | I do believe in the word of God and do believe in whats right and whats wrong, but I cannot judge anyone. Homosexuals are Gods children too, God loves them but he doesnt love what thay do and/or the choices they made but thats Gods business I have no rights to judge I can only do my best to follow Gods commands and live by his word and share in his word. |
| 152 | 6:47 pm PDT, May 25 | Judy Cody | I am strongly against the life style of Homosexuals, I believe it against GOD's WORD,and HIS WILL for HUMAN pro-creation. SAME SEX MARRIAGE IS NOT REALITY, IT IS SIN, IMMORAL, AND it is FILTHY AND DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR! | It would destroy American Families, destroy the moral's of America. It would led legalizing beastiality, multiply spouse abuse, more child abuse, endless evil. | GOD'S WORD AND WILL FOR PROCREATION, HUMANITY, FAMILIES, CHILDREN. | I WILL ALWAYS VOTE NO FOR THE LIE OF SAME SEX MARRIAGE. THERE IS NO SUCH THING! |
| 151 | 2:18 pm PDT, May 15 | Lillian Bailey | Its wrong and its an abomination to the american faimly | It would yet again lower americas standards on faimly and as it is TV shows are alredy pushing homosexuals in our faces and causeing childern to grow up thinking its normal when its not | in the bible it strictly saies that marrage is between a man and a woman. and this country is basied on christianisty | i hvae some homosexual freinds my self but they do agree with me that mariage sould b kept between a woman and man bc of morals. |
| 150 | 5:45 am PDT, Apr 26 | Donna Piscitelli | """"DISCUSTING""""""THIS IS SO WRONG!!! | This would create a problem with the reproductive cycle! What would probably happen in time...is you would not know who you really are?? or if you are dating or married to your brother, cousin, etc............. | """ITS WRONG""" THIS IS NOT THE WAY GOD INTENED THIS TO BE!!! | |

| 148 | 11:37 am PDT, Apr 19 | Mackenzie Roquemore | Im totally against homsexual behavior in any fashion | it would change everything dramatically and would make it ok to be gay wich is not ok | Im against same sex marriage becuase it is totally against nature and seeing as how nature has always been here i feel that it is correct | |
| 147 | 1:07 am PDT, Apr 15 | Lorna Saxton | Firmly believe it should be allowed at the very least as a civil union. | It would not only bring justice and equality to gays and lesbians who truly love each other, but it would make America more open-minded, and soon homosexuality would be something everyone would accept. | I'm bisexual myself, and I was raised to believe that everyone, including homosexuals, are loved by God equally. Growing up, I always thought that gay marriage was already allowed. I was shocked when I discovered it was banned. God made me in his image, and he does not make any mistakes. | As for you homophobic Christian groups, there is nothing Christian about you. Christianity is about love and peace and faith. Not about persecuting a group of people who've done absolutely nothing to you. Will Jesus judge me for loving, or you for hating? |
| 146 | 11:37 am PDT, Apr 13 | joe smith | It is o.k. | its America, not Ameri. Get it right. I think it would make the US a better place to live, we boss other countries around to do the right thing, now its time to practice what we preach. | if you want to ban same sex marriage cuz the bible says so. then ban lobster, and crab, and practically any kind of seafood. Oh, and your 50% rayon 50% silk shirt...you should be killed for wearing that. But, personally, i like the debt forgiving thing....after 7 years, i get my house for fee thanks. | Republicans are followers. Posers. Please people, think for yourselves. If i told you to jump off a bridge would you? corse not, but you would if the bible says too? then sacrifice your first borne, i know thats in there. |

| 142 | 6:03 pm PDT, Mar 21 | Anonymous | totally completely 100% AGAINST!!! | put an end 2 our population, duh | r u kidding! it's so gross! ewwww disgusting | ya boys and girls, guys and gals and men and women! seriously guys don't be nasty |
| 141 | 7:41 pm PDT, Mar 17 | Kevin Simontis | It is a sin against God and against humanity. | Completely ruin the foundation that this country was built on- Judeo-Christian laws. | Being Christian should be enough for anyone. | |
| 140 | 1:20 pm PST, Mar 5 | Anonymous | The government has no right banning same sex marriages. What ever happened to seperation of church and state? | Absolutely nothing! | I've always believed that every human being is equal. Therefore we all deserve the same rights. People can't help who they love. We love who we love and that's all there is to it. | |
| 139 | 7:21 am PST, Mar 1 | Barbara Boyle | I am against it. | I believe it is demoralizing our society. It is confusing our children and it degrades the very values that God wants us to uphold. | God is the foundation of all Laws and Regulations-his WORD says it all. | |

| 137 | 8:55 am PST, Feb 28 | courtney wells | I think that we have no right to say who you are to marry or what you need to be. | I think that same-sex marriages would make america a more nice place to be in without everyone against eachother. | ||
| 136 | 11:28 am PST, Feb 22 | Richard Bartley | As a married straight male i say Live and let live. | Absolutely nothing. Marriage had already become a joke in this country. Divorce rates at over 50%. Adultery is rampant and the family is no longer cohesive. Homosexuals getting married will have no effect on this either way. | How does it effect other people. What 2 people want to do is up to them and who are we to tell them they cant do it. To be aginst it lacks any grounding in common sense. The religious argument is irrelevant. if your religion doesnt like it then dont allow them to marry in your churches. But I dont think the state should be using religious grounds to decide one way or another. | There are better things to worry about. Whether gay marriage is legal or illegal has very little effect on our lives. Refusal to allow it is grounded in ignorance and intolerance. |
| 135 | 5:36 am PST, Feb 20 | Cal Taylor | My standpoint is simple. What is the basis of marriage..anyone... To have a family, or procreate. If you just want to play house, you dont have to get married to do that. A homo might say "well it should'nt matter what gender the one i love is". They are disallusioned at what love is. The main difference between a homo and a normal human being is that they have twisted the very purpose of sexual intercourse...gay rights, i should be treated equal as any other, blah blah blah. It is an abomination of our very purpose of being put on this earth. Next thing you know they will be talking about removeing the pledge of allegiance in schools.....opps too late. | God above us! And he IS watching. I'm embarressed for him! | All homo's need to be removed from this earth. << | |
| 134 | 8:08 pm PST, Feb 19 | Rachel Taylor | It's a crime against nature. | Nationalization of such a blasphemous act would disrupt the very fabric of our daily lives. Children today already have enough diversity to contend with. If this were legalized our children would surely be the one's to suffer. | It is morally, ethically, naturally, and spiritually wrong. | |
| 133 | 6:40 am PST, Feb 19 | Paul Samaha | Ban them. | America would be sinful and gross | The Bible and my Lord, Jesus Christ. | boycott ford! boycottford.com |
| 132 | 3:32 am PST, Feb 19 | Christina Jones | I do not believe in same sex marriages but at the same time it does not bother me. | |||
| 131 | 8:51 pm PST, Feb 17 | William Easterling | It is sinful and against God's will. | This will continue to drag this country and it's values through the dirt. | ||
| 130 | 1:49 pm PST, Feb 8 | Marcin Wojton | it's NOT of GOD, read GOD's Word [the Holy Bible] | pervert, demoralise, destroy GOD's gift of sanctified marriage of one man and one woman. | GOD's Word [the Holy Bible] | I AM AGAINST THIS SIN AS ANY OTHER SINS. |
| 129 | 2:41 pm PST, Feb 7 | Destiny Cail | The Government should not allow it. | Nothing, really, except send a message that we've given into social pressure. God would probably be more angry with us than He already is. | It's wrong, biblically, morally, and biologically. | I hate it when people say that gays don't have the same rights that straights have. Look, a gay person has every right to get married (just as we have every right to get married). The problem comes in when they choose a spouse that is of the same sex. This is against the law. If I fell in love with my dog, and we wanted to get married, I wouldn't be able to do that either. It doesn't mean that I'm "deprived" of any rights. Let's be very clear here: we have not witheld any rights from anyone based on sexual orientation. It is very different from when women/blacks were denied the right to vote, etc. This is a completely different issue. Guess what? If I'm married and I fall in love with another man, I can't then get married to him too...because I'm already married! Now should I then scream and protest that I am being denied the right to marry the person I love? No. It's just the manner in which I'm seeking to exercise my "right to marry." Nobody is depriving gays the right to get married. You know what? We straight people don't have the right to marry anyone of the same sex either. So in no way do we enjoy "more rights" than gays. We can't cater laws to feed everyone's desires. They must understand that. |

| 126 | 11:13 pm PST, Jan 31 | Diana Pinero | Being homosexual is a slap in God's face. Homosexuality is basically saying to God the Father that what He has created for us is not good enough... from His own children! | To allow a legal union for these homosexuals would surely bring calamity, destruction, and eventual downfall of this great nation. | The Bible, the only book in this world that not only has stood the test of time, but also has been proven tried and true in every generation. | |
| 125 | 10:44 pm PST, Jan 31 | Anonymous | This has already been said by others, but it warrants repeating: This country is not a theocracy and it never should be. All citizens are entitled the same rights and that includes the right to join in to a legal union--even if they are of the same sex. The Religious-Right should realize that marriage is more of a private matter than it is a public one and they should leave their collective noses out of others business! | I do not think it would cause any real change. We would not see the "loss of America's moral fiber" that many people fear would happen. | Our country was founded on the idea that citizens have certain "inalienable" rights. These rights are absolute, and though marriage was not stated, it is my belief that it was intended. | Forcing one's beliefs on others just leads to bloodshed. It is time people started accepting a difference of opinions. It is only when somebody's opinions leads to harm that we should interfere. Homosexuality does not harm anybody. If you categorize homosexuals with rapist and child molesters, you are a bigot. |

| 121 | 1:23 am PST, Jan 21 | Lisa Cowdrey | I do not believe in same sex marriage as I believe it is not in the will of God according to the King James Version Bible. | It will add to all the other factors that are destroying the Christian foundation of America. | I do not believe in same sex marriage as I believe it is not in the will of God according to the King James Version Bible. | |
| 120 | 1:38 am PST, Jan 12 | Carlos Cavero | It is a crime against nature. It means the total destruction of family and society. | It'd tear down American society at once. Drugs are already destroying such a beautiful country, where so many valuable people live, both Americans and inmigrants. Please, dont do that to America. Protect America. Protect FAMILY, CHILDREN, and HUMAN BEINGS in general. | Promiscuity cause degradation even among straight couples. You can see so many children whose lives have been destroyed by their parents' mistakes. Now, if homosexuals are given the right to get married and adopt children, can you imagine how many perverts, drug addicts, and rapists we will have in the future? You cannot do that to mankind. Let us protect and educate parents (MAN and WOMAN) and let us stand for what we believe. | I appreciate and love America. American society is facing a terrible crisis because of drugs. Famiilies are disappearing. We are all still on time to solve the problem. Please, don't give that "right" to homosexuals. And don't call them "gay". Let us start calling things on their name and never let us brainwash by the media. |
| 119 | 6:15 pm PST, Jan 8 | Erin Greif | I am all for same-sex marriage | It would make us a better nation. If the United States is such a great country, why the hell are we still promoting intolerance? It's no different from segregation in the 1960's. It's about intolerance. Plain and simple. GROW UP. | I am not a religious person. Even if I was, I would still be for it. Gay marriage is not going to hurt anyone. We live in the United States. This is a democracy, not a theocracy. You are entitled to your beliefs, but don't make it someone else's problem. Who someone else marries is absolutely none of your business nor does it hurt you. | A lot of the comments I've seen on here make me feel really embarassed for all the tolerant and INTELLIGENT Christians I know. |
| 117 | 12:53 pm PST, Dec 31 | Gary Hamilton | I find it to be disgusting and non biblical. | Maximize immorality | Biblical and Moral | |
| 116 | 10:05 am PST, Dec 5 | Rosalyn Wilson | I feel it's a sacrilege to the sacrament of marriage. | It would make traditional marriage mean much less, it takes away it's value. Also, gays would be allowed the same benefits of married couples which is ridiculous considering homosexuals make more money than any other group in the US already. | It's glorifying something unnatural, homosexuality, and degrading something beautiful and created by God for man, marriage... | |
| 115 | 5:37 am PST, Dec 1 | elliot gardner | i feel that god wouldnot be a happy chappy | i feel that god wouldnot be a happy chappy | i feel that god wouldnot be a happy chappy | i feel that god wouldnot be a happy chappy |
| 114 | 10:09 pm PST, Nov 28 | Tiffany Smith | marriage is defined as the union between a man and a woman | it goes against everything this country was founded on | conservative that supports what this country was founded on as well as the Holy Bible | |
| 113 | 6:30 pm PST, Nov 26 | Anonymous | It's not natural | It wouldn't make it a nation under GOD, it would turn into another Canada | Any foundation that is against gay/lesbian marriage is okay with me | Gay people like to show off their gay ways. They tried to make it look good. It brings a bad exsample to the children of America. |
| 112 | 3:32 pm PST, Nov 14 | Mark Khaleel | It is wrong because God says it is; this is not complicated to understand.He hates the sin,but loves the sinner. | It would destroy the very perfect foundation that God created as the building block of the family and society in general | the Bible,God's spoken word of absolute truth and love | The Bible says,"light(Jesus)has come into the world but men love the darkness because their deeds are done in secret(evil). I say to anyone that this applies to:Repent, because He's coming soon!!! |

| 110 | 9:52 pm PDT, Oct 7 | Denise Ramirez | I don't support same sex marriage. I think that gays and lesbians have not found God, although they might say that they have. Many prefer to be atheists, but God doesn't disappear even though they deny him, they also claim that God loves gays, which might be true. But only God knows how He will judge them. I just hope someday in there lives they will repent, and find love in God, and I wish that the love for him will help them over come their demons. | I think that morality in America will be destroyed. | My foundation for being against same sex marriages is my religion, my morals, and my values. | If you are gay or lesbian I hope you will repent soon and stop being selfish, how can you choose pleasure over God. Love God and he will give you the strength to over come your worldly desires. God exists and he will judge us all, repent before it is too late! |
| 109 | 11:52 pm PDT, Sep 17 | A. L. Gleason | People have a right to marry the one they love no matter what sex they are. Why does it matter what sex another person is? | Absolutely nothing? Why would another person who ISN'T a homosexual care what some stranger who IS does with their life? | My foundation? To stick it to da' man! But really, I think people should marry as they please (EXCEPT to animals! That's just wrong). "Life without love is no life at all." - from Ever After | I've noticed that some feel that if homosexuals can be married legally, then that will open the door to beastiality being legal & what-have-you. What does beastiality have to do with gay marriage?! The issue of gay marriage is between human beings! I think the people ENFORCING that gay marriage leads to beastiality are the REAL ones to raise eyebrows about. Honestly, if that is the first thing that pops into said enforcer's mind, then what else is running through THEIR dirty mind? Makes you wonder doesn't it? |
| 108 | 6:07 pm PDT, Sep 15 | Charles Saunders | Against the word of GOD! ! ! | Destroy the U S as Sodom and Gamoria! | GOD'S word BIBLE! | GOD said it was an abominitation! |
| 107 | 8:57 am PDT, Sep 8 | KaZ B. | Freedom of choice | No impact whatsoever except to give people their inalienable rights. | Don't be hypocritical. God loves EVERYONE!!! And it is obvious that most signers here have never really known a gay person or they would think a second time about bashing them. "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" Take off the rose colored glasses and get into the 21st century. Judge not, lest ye also be judged. My God is a compassionate, caring, unconditionally loving God, but it appears so many people got lost along the way and decided to make decisions based on mass delusion. I pray for all of you to be healed of your ignorance. | |

| 104 | 3:07 pm PDT, Aug 24 | jarron mccann | God made man and women not man and man and vice versa. Same sex sex marriage is an abomination and completely ungodly. | It would destroy the sanctity of marriage and defile all the land. We can't let that happen and we must suport our president concerning this issue. Also please pray for this country and our leaders as they are facing critical issues such as same sex marriage. | Leviticus 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abomination" 18:27 "For all these aboniantions have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled" 18:29 "For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cutoff from among their people" KJV | I just want homosexuals to know that God loves them and wants to have a personal relationship with them. Also Christ died on the cross to pay for their sins. |

| 102 | 3:29 pm PDT, Aug 15 | Chris Read | strongly against it. | cripple the morals of man and weaken the foundations in which our ancestors fought to build and protect. | ignorance breeds more ignorance.... in this case, literally. It's so basic and simple. You don't insert a plug into a plug, do you? No. You don't, a plug goes into the socket. Male and female. | I just wish people would open their eyes. And see the truth. Know what's right and wrong. It's never too late for people to make a change in themselves. Gay is not a lifestyle nor is it born.... it's a bad habit. |

Support Bush Against Same-Sex Marriages
Bush, it is well-known, is strongly against same-sex marriages. I would much appreciate any information you have (religious, moral, etc.) backing Bush. Also, if anyone knows the AIDS percentage among homosexual men as oppose to straight men, please let me know.
