  • No it doesn't mean adhere to them at all it means leave them alone. It has nothing to do with discrimination in the first place. The institution is presided over by the church, so it's simply a case of gays minding their own business. They are infact discriminating against themselves by trying to be part of an institution that hates them. EVERY religion has the right to stick to it's beliefs and not have them changed by outsiders! Way more right than gays have to just but in on something that isn't theirs just to prove a point, i mean they don't need to be married to make a commitment to each other. Just like feminism they always want to be so hard done by but they aren't. Gays were accepted years ago, no more feeling sorry for them as it's time to grow up and realise not everyone can have or do anything they want "just because". The day the whole world becomes politically correct is the day all ethics and order go out the window!

    I mean it's sort of like you wouldn't rewrite the bible or the Qur'an just to make someone happy would you?

    • As the United States is a country, not a religion, it should be -legal- for them to marry. A church, which is based on religious beliefs, should be -legally allowed- to state that they, as a church, will not marry same sexes, if it violates their own beliefs. As a political matter, marriage is a legally binding contract and should be handled as such. It is unethical to state two people of the same gender cannot sign a legally binding contract.
      No person should be left out of a legal matter based on discriminative properties.

          • It is the hinge your argument ultimately stands on. It's a RELIGIOUS institution not a political one, so im not sure how anything you said is actually a point because none of it is real?

            Marriage was invented by the church, it should be upto them obviously.

            • As I stated in my argument, the churches should be able to say no if it is against their beliefs, therefore making it up to them. -Politicians- should have NO authority in making marriage illegal for any individuals.
              Marriage should be up to the individual church, as many churches do not share the same belief that marriage is between one man, one woman. The 'Church' is supposed to be separated from the 'State', which means it should not be 'illegal' for any individual to marry- specifically because it's not political.
              Therefore, gay marriage should be deemed legal, while still not interjecting the laws of freedoms to choose what to/not to do in a given religion.
