Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision

Marriage is a union between man and woman. This is a societal and social norm that has been in human civilization since the dawn of man. Changing the definition of Marriage to fit other unions would erase its meaning.

Gay marriage isnt right and never should be . it is not rght for a man to be with another man. It also isnt good looking on the young.

I don't think gay marriage should be legal. We are born with specific bodies that represent who we are. We can't change those, and we shouldn't. There is no logical reason for same sex marriage, especially if we want to increase the population in America, there is no way to do that with same sex marriage.

It's against most if not all religions to marry someone of the same sex. I feel the government should stay involved and cancel same-sex marriage.

I do not support Gay Marriage. Marriage is between a man and women. No one else. The same gender should not get married.

The Mayor of a Town/City is able to express Religous Laws aslong as the city agrees with it, however Gay Marriage in general is a NO in USA.

This is a true statement (God defines marriage, not the government), but God blesses nations whose laws are consistent with His.

Because in the bible God created two genders male or female and he said in Genesis 3:8 that female are the missing rib and that no man shall be alone.

I think gay marriage goes against lots of views religiously you are supposed to have kids and that is how they are made when people are born I do however think the government should stay out of marriages and not make it more complicated.

Gay marriage is very bad and unnatural, it is biology a man and women create life together not a man and a man it is very bad for our country.

Marriage involves sharing property. All contracts are acknowledged by the government so they can fairly enforce them.

the government should be allowed to permit gay marriages, and if you want to do that and they don't support it you can leave and go somewhere were it is supported

The government should really be involved in marriage. Churches should not be required to marry anyone they don’t want to.

Marriage is a covenant between God, Man, and Woman in my religion. That said, I am open to and supportive of a legally binding contract (civil union license or certificate) between any two loving, consenting adults in order to merge financial, proprietary, medical, and other decisions, obligations, and responsibilities, however. I think the term "marriage" should be kept for the religious definition and the term "civil union" should be kept for the secular definition.

The claim "Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision." presupposes that the goals government and religion have no overlap in this sphere. However, this is not true in totality. There is some overlap. For example, both religion and political authorities are concerned with the common good of society. Now, since the common good of society falls into both the government and religious sphere, it follows that the government has a role in promoting marriage.

Marrige is for family, the only way to create a family is with a man and a woman who are married, so there is no point of two people of the same gender being married

Absolutely not, gays are not natural. Marriage and childbirth are natural and should be upheld by the government. The government should not allow unnatural things to happen.

Don't support any type of LGBTQ+. It's not very hard to pick who you want marry and just the same person as gender as you.

I agree that it should be decided religiously. But as a Christian, I would just get rid of gay marriage altogether.

IF your using the argument of taking the government out of law binding interaction then, how will reconition be applied and tax benefits, as well as the love is lve arguement, should that be allowed too?
