No, marriage should be defined as between a man and woman

That perspective is clearly outdated as people of the same sex can love each other just as much as people of different sexes.

you should be able to live your life the way you want and marry who you love as long as it isn't harming someone. Gay marriage does not harm anyone.

Everyone deserves to be happy if somone is happy with that they love who is anyone to judge. It is love and that is no ones buissness but my own.

People of the same gender can't have biological children together, and the Bible mentioned Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve or similar.

You can be with a man and woman, but why are we taking away the rights of others to choose? It doesn’t take away anything from straight marriage to allow gay marriage. It doesn’t affect me at all if other people are married to men or women, either way I have the choice to marry who I want and so should they.

I am a gay man. I was born a gay man. The love I feel for men is no different than the love I would feel for women if I was heterosexual, and I should not be punished for it. It should be illegal to discriminate on the basis on immutable and inflexible characteristics, and that includes revoking marriage equality.

Queer people will always exist whether you like it or not, they should have as much of a right as cis people to marry who they love

I mean gay marriage doesn't really affect me. I mean it could be allowed like I don't see much wrong with it but marriage is defined as something between a man and a woman so me and I guess we can keep gay marriage as what it is right now.

One of the strongest counterarguments to the position that marriage should be defined solely as between a man and a woman is rooted in the principles of equality and individual rights, as enshrined in many democratic societies.

It has to be ones own decision about the definition. Marriage is the relationship between two partner

It really doesn't matter if the people getting married aren't affecting you, if they are that's when you can have an opinion

Not every marriage is between a man and woman, Canada allows same-sex marriages for a reason, therefore we need to destigmatize marriage as only something between a man and woman.

love is love, i don't understand why people are so interested in others lives to even care about who they are happy with.

First of all religion did not invent marriage there are records on unions between two men that go back years. The only reason why the bible says "man shall not lie with man as he shall a women" is because it was changd due to political agenda. The real texted is "man shall not lie with boy" so no to pedophillia. Being gay isn't a sin.

Marriage has always been based on love. Especially when married in a church. A marriage is a union between two people who both want to get married. So, marriage doesn't refer to just something between men and women. If two people of the same sex love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together, then why stop them from officiating it? Any two people deserve the right to love who they want, and marry who they want. Not to mention that marriage is a celebration of love, it is not something that has strict rules and traditions. So many people marry in different ways than…  Read more others, so no one person should be able to get the say over somebody else's marriage. Just like how you wouldn't try to control someone else's wedding, and tell them what the venue will be, or the food, or even the dress the bride would wear. If someone truly agrees to this idea that gay marriage shouldn't be allowed, then that's their problem because they can't dictate how someone feels about somebody else. They can't decide that two people can't ceremonialize their love, and it shouldn't be reflected on some two innocent people who want to celebrate their love.

Marriage is a contract between 2 people. What difference does it make about the gender of those 2 people? Love exists in many forms and many male-female marriages aren't very healthy forms of that.

Why should marriage only be accessible for straight couples, isn't marriage a legal form to show how you express your love for your significant other regardless of gender.

All people in the eyes of god are equal, all people in the eyes of the state are equal, all people should have an equal right to marry regardless of whom to, within reason.

why do you care if 2 people who love each other want to get married it's better than child marriages

you should be able to marry the Pearson you love no matter there gender and feel safe while doing it.

No, no one has the right to tell someone else who they cannot marry and more importantly it isn't there business to interfere with someone else's relationship.

I think that people should be able to choose their partners, and have the right to make a life with that person having marriage as an optional choice just as couples of opposite sex do

In response to the assertion that marriage should be exclusively defined as between a man and a woman, here are some counterarguments relevant to Canada:

Legal Equality: Denying same-sex couples the right to marry is discriminatory and creates a second class of citizens. Legalizing gay marriage ensures equal access to benefits and protections enjoyed by heterosexual couples.
Changing Traditions: The concept of “traditional marriage” has evolved over time, and historical accuracy does not support the idea that marriage has always been strictly between a man and a woman.
Gender Definition: Insisting on defining marriage based on gender begs the question of how gender itself is defined. Supporters of gay marriage argue that gender should not be the sole criterion for marriage.

Marriage can be defined in many ways and not only a man and a woman. This is a hurtful statement against the 2SLGBTQIA community and shouldn’t be though about like this.

Marriage is a legal process all couples should have the right to, and another’s sexual preference should not concern you.

What gives heterosexual people more rights than gay people? When straight people get married, there is no harm done to the world. It goes the same for gay people. The only difference between gay and straight marriages is gender. Everyone can love anybody they want, regardless of gender. We are all human and nobody should have their ability to love be taken away

In modern society, marriage is just a pleasant fantasy world, like a theme park. Open it up to any adult who would be allowed through those gates, so long as they've had a stiff drink beforehand.

Why is it an issue if they get married? It doesn’t affect you in the slightest. it also only makes people happier, creates a safe haven for members of the LGBTQ community.

I believe you should be able to marry whoever you choose to marry as you should marry the one you fell inlove with
