Gay marriage isn't about civil rights (abortion, gay people, homosexual, Virginia)

[Yes/no]

Gay marriage isn't a civil rights issue. It's a moral issue. Just like we don't allow brothers and sisters to marry, we shouldn't allow the same sex to marry.

I agree, but it seems like this issue is "beyond reason." Let the tsunami of responses begin...

You are wrong. There is a good reason to prevent incest....What reason is there against gay marriage other than your religious beliefs....None.

I agree it is a moral issue that is between 2,not the whole country.
I also think abortion is a moral between a women and her god not her country.

So for us as a country to tell people how their morals should be is wrong.

The biggest argument against incest has been the malformed offspring. The biggest argument against homosexuality has been the inability to produce offspring. Conclusion: your comparison sucks.

[saganista]

Marriage and procreation are two separate things. Your logic sucks.

As others have said--not comparable.

Also, it is often brought up that in Loving v. Virginia, marriage was decided to be one of the "basic rights of man." (FindLaw | Cases and Codes) In that case, I think you'd have to have a more compelling argument against allowing someone "basic rights" that is not inability to produce offspring or denial of some supposed Biblical mandate.

And as a side note, I'm sorry that city-data ever added that painfully stupid "thumbs up" smilie.

Whatever. Your argument is ridiculous. There is a reason sisters and brothers don't marry. How many sisters and brothers do you know who have wanted to marry each other? Gaad, I tire of this and I'm not even gay. Gay people are generally intelligent and nice.
