Default Politically Incorrect: Gay Marriage

Politically Incorrect: Should the United States legalize Gay Marriage?

Well, this is quite a serious issue our society is faced with. As you know the Bible says gay marriage is wrong. But we'll get to that later. First lets look at why people would want to legalize gay marriage. When you get married you get married through the church and you become legally married. Currently gays are only allowed to get married through some churches and are not able to get married through the courts. Now you wouldn't think this should be such a big issue, but it is. When you become legally married you receive a lot of benefits - such as more money back on tax cuts. As you can see this pisses off a lot of gay couples because they are not legally recognized as a being married and don't get the great benefits.

Now, people have been known to be gay as far back as we can tell, it was just never such a large issue. Scientists are also fairly certained you are either born homosexual or hetrosexual. I mean, who would actually want to be gay? You may wonder why people do not approve of gay couples. It's mainly because the Bible says that gay marriage is a bad thing. But lets remember that the Bible is a book that is over 2,000 years old and has been edited countless times. And if gay marriage was such a bad thing why didn't Jesus ever talk about it? Jesus stressed treating everyone fairly and giving people justice. And if God made all humans, obviously he made some of them gay. But then why would the Bible say it is a bad thing?

Personally I think we should legalize gay marriage. But I'm interested in hearing your opinions. I want to try to make this as an intelligent discussion as possible. So whether or not you agree with someone, you have to respect their opinion. Open the floodgates.
