First of all it is unnatural for humans, to take on same sex marriage, let alone gay marriage. this is because, anyone who believes in the bible can attest to the fact that when God created the earth, he made them male and female, showing his arrangement for marriage. God is wiser than all humans put together, and his decision is for our best interest.
Secondly those who practice gay marriage often try to change their appearance to that of a woman, something very detestable and inhumane, also it is just a practice that should not even be done cause of its immoral lifestyle. as for me i see every thing bad in it, and detest does who practice it.

 @9GGZYDFfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

same sex mareges should not be stoped and the people the love somone that is the same sex as them have just as right to mary the person that they want to as somone that is maring somone of the same sex. if you think that loving somone and being true to your send is grose and god wouldnt want that then you are the person that god would detest. walking up to somone ans saying that they are grose for being true to themselfs is the same as if somone came up to you and said that you should die because of what you are wereing. it is inhuman and just rude to hate somone just for how they look or how they feel about how thy love.

 @9GJMPRSfrom Alberta  disagreed…1yr1Y

Not everyone believes in the bible, and why would "god" create gay people if he hates them? People can not help who they fall in love with, so if it happens to be the same sex, it is not harming anyone.

 @9GHM639from Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

you have a right to religion, but we have the right of freedom of expression. Church and State are separate and should remain separate.

 @9GH6T3HPeople’sfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

I am aware that your opinions on same-sex marriage are based on personal and religious views. It's critical to acknowledge the wide range of viewpoints on this subject and the importance of courteous discussion in promoting understanding. This reply gives credit to your point of view while offering a counterargument:

I appreciate your freedom of speech, and it's obvious that your viewpoint is shaped by your own values and religious views. It's true that opinions on same-sex marriage can differ greatly among people, frequently due to concerns about religion and culture.

 @9H26ZVZConservativefrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

You were born as a male or a female and that should be the only intimate relation and chemistry after marriage between those 2 genders (the only ones).

 @9H4SPPWfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

Gays shouldn't be a thing because it's gross and influences little children to also be gay which there parents won't support and will cause lots of problems.

 @9H2JYLMfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

I do not care if gay people marry each other as long as they do not force others into their delusion. It is not society's duty to memorize 100 different pronouns when we have bigger issues in the world.

 @9G2QXMBfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

My Religion doesn't support marrying the same sex, but I think if they don't bother me with their lgbtq+ crap I don't really care what they do.

 @9FTDNDVfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Personally I disagree on the legalization of gay marriage, and here's why; to start off, a gay couple is incapable of reproducing, therefore slowing down the population growth rate, which currently is not very favourable. however putting that aside, too many gay couples might start to mess with the kids of this generation, making them question their identity, which is absolutely something that a little child should be worrying about, let alone thinking about, and if gay couples were not loud and obnoxious about it then maybe it could be a bit more acceptable, but if you're going to…  Read more

 @9H23Q83from Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

Get married to whoever you want but do not educate the young children in school about this, there are religions and beliefs that go against it and we have to be respectful of that.

 @9FTQ4XXLiberalfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

No. It is bad and men and women should only be able to marry each other. We need more straight marriages to be able to create more children.

 @9FTR5NXfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

From this perspective, altering the definition of marriage to include same-sex couples may be seen as a violation of religious principles. Opponents of gay marriage may argue that it represents a significant departure from long-standing cultural and traditional norms. Some critics express concerns about the impact of same-sex marriage on children. They argue that children should ideally be raised in households with both a mother and a father, believing that this provides a more balanced and wholesome upbringing. Some argue that governments have a legitimate interest in promoting heterosexual marriage because it can potentially lead to natural procreation and the continuation of the human species.

 @9H298NNfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

i don't have one but I do not support gay marriage but, if they are happy with the person I have no problems

 @9FFJKJNfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

As a Muslim, marrying same sex marriage is haraam meaning not allowed at all. And to me I think every child would want a mother and a father instead of two fathers that looks really absurd.

 @9FG5HQYLiberalfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

If it's not a part of your religion, that does not mean it should be banned for everyone.

 @9FVKL6WLiberalfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

do whatever you want just dont be forcing it on someone and trying to teach it to childeren at such a young age.

 @B4HNS2JPeople’s from Ontario  disagreed…1wk1W

GOD intended for PENISES to go inside VAGINAS and NOT BUTTHOLES!!! If BUTTHOLES were meant for INSERTING PENISES IN, they would have SOME SORT OF GLAND that makes BUTT **** ING PLEASURABLE.

 @B3DFCZBfrom Ontario  disagreed…2mos2MO

Marriage is a union created by the Catholic church defined by a union bettween a man and a women, therefore by definition gay couples cannot be married. They can have a union but it is not a marriage.

 @B39WQ42from Ontario  disagreed…2mos2MO

a female and male are made to reproduce any man or women should not be thinking they are the other gender its weird

 @B39G4PVfrom Ontario  disagreed…2mos2MO

Marriage is defined through biblical terms and our country was founded on biblical principals. If two people of the same sex want a union with benefits the same as a married couple I will not oppose that, but it should not utilize the term marriage. Marriage is between one man and one woman as defined by God.

 @B36TD9Kfrom Ontario  disagreed…2mos2MO

Gay marriage is disgusting males and females were made to be together. You can clearly tell by their ability to make babies.

 @B353543from Ontario  disagreed…2mos2MO

Gay marriage should not be a thing because marriage is a covet between man woman and god. Also to marry means to have kids eventually as well which 2 men or 2 women cannot.

 @B2VDX6Vfrom Ontario  disagreed…2mos2MO

its morally wrong, i believe in god and that is a sin in the bible. I think that a country that supports and is centered around god is ultimately stronger and safer, i personally believe it is morally wrong and i could never see it any other way.

 @Acaifrom Ontario  disagreed…2mos2MO

Marriage represents the union between a man and a woman. This definition has now shifted in an attempt to be more "inclusive". If you want a union between something other than man and woman, call it something else.

 @B29TS3Bfrom Ontario  disagreed…3mos3MO

As a Christian, I believe that marriage is sacred and is defined in the Bible as a union between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24). This is a God-ordained institution and serves as the foundation for both family and society. At the same time, one of the core teachings of Christianity is to love our neighbors (Matthew 22:39), which means treating everyone with love and respect. Based on my faith, I support the traditional biblical definition of marriage while emphasizing the importance of expressing this belief in a gentle and compassionate manner. This approach reflects both the commitment to my faith and the call to love others unconditionally.

 @B22DLBKfrom Ontario  disagreed…4mos4MO

God is real. God is all good. we listen to him not ourselves/ the devil. to ask if gay marriage should be legal is to ask if there is any objective morality at all, if there is a God there is objective morality. the universe is not infinite and can not create itself. st paul cannot convert if Jesus does not ressurect and the martyrdom of the saints makes no sense if Jesus did not ressurect. God is real. his word is truth. Marriage is between one man and one woman.

 @9ZZBJ84from Ontario  disagreed…4mos4MO

More cheating, more strict rules in school, more favouritism towards them, other issues being looked over due to them shoving it in everyones face, confusing kids

 @9ZWBSJCfrom Ontario  disagreed…5mos5MO

No I don't think you it is good because it is not how the world works and it should be boy and girl only

 @9ZW8XL2from Ontario  disagreed…5mos5MO

My counter argument to Gay Marriage is that is should not exist. This is because Canada has been struggling with its population, Gay marriages are just another means to this. They are unable to reproduce so to suggest that homosexuality is beneficial or morally correct in any way is simple a falsified statement.

 @9ZNRT5Gfrom Ontario  disagreed…5mos5MO

God made man and women, gay men cant have kids and if they adopt it wont be a conventional family which can effect the childs development and perspectives on the world.

 @9ZLJD8Lfrom Ontario  disagreed…5mos5MO

I believe it should not be thing, personally I do not like it, this world has not came just for this through all the war we have fought through and look what our world has came too.

 @9RYCN7J from Ontario  disagreed…8mos8MO

Gay marriages are bad for two reasons. Religious and family. Marriage isn't meant for 2 men or 2 women. Its meant for a man and a woman. When 2 flesh become 1. And 2nd. If a gay couple wants to start and family and adopt children, the child will be an outcast. Bullied and will (depending on whether the child has 2 fathers or 2 mothers) lose and sense of hav8ng a father figure of mother figure in their lives, which are equally important. The definition of marriage shouldn't be tainted by homosexuality.

 @9Q2L5X3Conservativefrom Ontario  disagreed…10mos10MO

Gay Marriage should be banned and made illegal in all provinces and territories in Canada. There should be a death penalty for if someone does this act. Bill C-38 must be abolished.

 @9NGXV2Lfrom Ontario  disagreed…11mos11MO

In the Bible, Jesus, who is the son of God, who made the world stated that marriage is between a man and a woman.

 @9NBTTYXfrom Ontario  disagreed…11mos11MO

i wont agree to this because men should be with a women and women should be with a man this gay thing should not be existing

 @9M8LMFRfrom Ontario  disagreed…12mos12MO

I dont think it should be legal because two people of the same gender can not reproduce nor can two people of the same gender raise a balenced child.

 @9M25595from Ontario  disagreed…12mos12MO

Leviticus 18:22
“‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable."

Its unatural, you can't concieve a child with same sex partners and no other animal in the world does this

God created two genders (male and female) during the creation so we should never be gay

Leviticus 20:13 ~ If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

Why is marriage important to you if you’re not religious when the foundation of it was from religion? Same benefits from common law

 @9LZ9ZMNfrom Ontario  disagreed…12mos12MO

Gay marriage is not natural and a child should be raised in a household with a father and mother figure.

 @9LYFNVMfrom Ontario  disagreed…12mos12MO

I believe that gay marriage should not happen at all. I know that god only made 2 genders which is men and female, but if others have an opinion I am not disagreeing with that, it's just my own opinion.

 @9LS87WHfrom Ontario  disagreed…12mos12MO

no i don't agree it is wrong to marry girl to a girl or a boy to a boy. boy and girl should be married not the other way.

 @9LNJ8X3Liberalfrom Ontario  disagreed…12mos12MO

Due to my religious practices and the normalities I was born with, gay marridge came up suddenly and didn't really have a purpose other than to rally hate against it because of the publicicity it had. My religious practices say that gay marridge is not allowed because the point of life is to concieve a baby and pass on your genetics to another generation.

 @9LNHG7Nfrom Ontario  disagreed…12mos12MO

I would say no. But it is anyone's choice, but I certainly do not support gay marriage. I think people were made to marry the opposite sex.

 @9LJ64PDfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

If it isn't hurting you physically and is not inferring with your life then shut your trap and mind your business

 @9LH6Y49Bloc Québécoisfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

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

 @9LF97NPfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

Counterargument: Marriage is a Sacred Institution Defined by Tradition and Religion

Traditional Definition: Many cultures and religions have long-standing traditions that define marriage as a sacred union between a man and a woman. These traditions have been upheld for centuries and are deeply ingrained in societal norms and values.

Religious Beliefs: For millions of people around the world, marriage is not just a legal contract but a sacrament or covenant before God. In various religious doctrines, such as Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, marriage is explicitly defined as a union between opposite-sex partners, and altering this definition could be seen as conflicting with religious teachings.

 @9L2NKB8People’sfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

If you commit gay marriage you should be put in jail because as a Christian that is wrong and we are corrupting people and allowing the devils work to be normalize which is the stupidest thing ever.

 @9K4QDYQConservativefrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

God made marriage to be between one man and one women and anything different isnt a real marriage and isnt vowed under gods oath

 @9JYWQ8Kfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

people can have a relationship with whom they see fit, do as you want just don't bother people with it

 @9JXF34Zfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

One study suggests that approximately 15% of gay marriages end in divorce within 10 years, as opposed to 18% in their heterosexual counterparts. There isnt much of a difference, from the looks of it LESS LGBTQ+ marriages end with divorce.

 @9JX2K25from Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

god made earth in a way were men and women are the ones reproduce and have children together not 2 men or 2 women, you never saw a female dog reproduce with another. why be so
"different" ? matter of fact those who are changing their genders and are dating the same genders as them should even be allowed to adopt kids.

 @9J4PB2TLiberalfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

my opinion doesn't matter even though I say yes to gay marriage. The only decisions and opinions that matter are the ones of the people choosing to marry one another.

 @9HQXYFKConservativefrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

I have no problem with someone being Gay, I have friends who are gay. But in my Christian faith a gay couple cannot be married under the Catholic Church for it is a sin

 @9HMKMCQfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

The part in the bible saying “man should not love boy” is referring to pedopholia, not gay people, god is supposed to love all people, why would that exempt gay people?

 @9GRC5BMPeople’sfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

2400 BCE – Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum are believed to be the first same-sex couple in recorded history.

 @9GQ9V7Tfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

There is no logical reason why anyone should be able to control what someone else dose with thier life when it is somthng as innocent as marriage. Do what you want with your life but don't force other people to live by your rules.

 @B38JGVDfrom Ontario  agreed…2mos2MO

Marriage is something that is honestly just a way of showing love. If it is somehow gotten rid of, then thats not going to stop gay people from loving each other. The only difference of marriage and dating, is a piece of paper. Gay people can still choose to throw a celebration, can still call each other husband or wife. They can still do all this stuff that married people can do. So why put in all that effort just to show that you are homophobic and want to discriminate against others? Why put in all that effort to convince others that you don't agree with equality? Gay people have every right to marry one another, and there's no way of completely getting rid of that idea.

 @B364GLQConservativefrom Ontario  agreed…2mos2MO

Everyone deserves to be happy and if they choose to be in a committed relationship it is their own choice

 @B2CCX5ZConservativefrom Ontario  disagreed…3mos3MO

Gay or Lesbian marriage should be criminalized in Canada, because marriage is between a man and a women. Any individuals who does this marriage should face severe consequences such as death penalty, if priest has blessed this sort of marriage they should be punished.

 @9H296Q2from Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

It is not supported by most of the world and also lots of religions don't support this type of marriage.

 @9GPX82Yfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

marriage was a religious agreement and should not be changed by a political view, if they were to have a gouvernment bond or agreement instead that would be something reasonable, instead of changing a religion.

 @9FKJ4GDNew Democraticfrom Ontario  agreed…2yrs2Y

Love is love and it shouldn’t have to matter what gender you are. If one love another person then gender doesn’t matter.

 @9LR74GLfrom Ontario  disagreed…12mos12MO

In the Bible Gay was not a thing. It's always female and male. It's physically just unable to do anything with it. I don't believe in LBGTQ. I think It's more of a personal thing to the other gender and being stubborn about it.

 @9FFC6GGfrom Ontario  agreed…2yrs2Y

Gay marriage could raise the overall mental stability of this generation (Gen z) and older. It could lower the suicide rates, as a big portion of suicides are because of countries forbidding them from showing their true sexualities and genders. If gay people were treated more the same as straight people (allowing gay marriage), there would be less of a division between the two sexualities, and could bring us closer as a society.

 @9LRBRH2 from Ontario  disagreed…12mos12MO

In addressing arguments against same-sex marriage, one common stance is to emphasize the importance of traditional definitions of marriage and its role in society. Here's a counter argument:

"While proponents of same-sex marriage advocate for equality and love, it's crucial to recognize that marriage has historically served as a foundational institution for the family unit and societal stability. Redefining marriage to include same-sex couples fundamentally alters its traditional purpose and may have unintended consequences for future generations.

 @9GN2LRQfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

If marriage is to be arbitrated by the state then it should be dispassionate about the gender of the individuals getting married. Allowing gay marriage does not affect heterosexual marriage. Yet banning gay marriage has a profound impact on gay people.

 @9G9RRK6Conservativefrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

I believe in God and how he made and intended the world to be, he did not intend the world to turn to same sex marriage as he even said that man should marry women.

 @9G7QZXSfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

No, Gay marriages should be banned as they are anything but marriage. From the start of the human race, marriage has only been between a man and a woman. Who are we to redefine marriage itself through this lie-now considered a law?

 @9G4TF8Vfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I don't think that gay marriages should be allowed anywhere in the world because God made man and woman for each other, he didn't make man and man or woman and woman.

Les hommes et les femmes sont creer pour le but de se reproduire entre eux. Et cela n'est pas pour que deux perssones du meme sexe se marie.

 @B4PP23ZConservative from Ontario  disagreed…2 days2D

I think that Gay Marriage is wrong. The Bible says that God created male and females, God intended a man to marry a woman. That is the way that we were created and anyone who is attracted to the same sex is confused and should refrain from acting on their desires. We should provide services to help these people who are confused.

 @B4PP3W9 from Ontario  disagreed…2 days2D

I think that gay marriage is wrong, because biology speaking GOD did not make the body for two male or two female sex, the body is made for separate sex, sex

 @B4RB842 from Ontario  disagreed…7hrs7H

They can get married unless they are annoying and think gay people are better then the normal people.
