Gay Marriage

last night a friend asked, "are you really against gay marriage"?

How do I answer this? It's not an easy subject to talk about including if you are associated with people of both sides.

What can I say? I'm religious. Yes, i am a hypocrite but what can I do? I'm sorry. It's an opinion, a belief right? So, I don't believe in gay marriage. I'm sorry. It does sound harsh.

But it sounds worse to go against God, and then throw it at his face. It's completely disrespectful. I believe that God does not approve of gay marriage.


It's not hazardous to others, so I'm not completely against it. I'm against it because I know that when I have kids, I wouldn't be fine with it.

I'm not against gays. God isn't either. He doesn't judge, but he does have rules. Rules are never easy to live with, it's just up to you to follow them.

I won't hate a gay married couple. I won't talk shit to them or go against them. They feel one way, while I another.

But I do know that when I have kids and if any of them turn out gay, I wouldn't mind. I'll support them but I'll also explain my feelings about it. I'll tell them that God only wants the best for us so he set rules for us, to keep us safe.

These are tests that he put us against. When we leave this world, our sexual orientation won't matter. But for now, it does.

I'll say, "you don't have to be straight to be happy or to be a good person. But you should know that God expects you to follow Him and put other before yourself.

You're not going to be alone, you'll always have me and your family. We would never leave you or kick you out, but please respect how God feels".

If they still wan tot get married with their partner, I'll still accept them.

I would never hate.

It's religion first, it's my tradition as a catholic.

I don't believe in unequal treatment, gays have all their rights to a marriage. But how would they ever get married under catholic church? I suppose they don't have to be catholic, but my children will be.
