Ellen DeGeneres & Republican John McCain Debate Gay Marriage
By Allie | May 22, 2008
Republican John McCain addressed the issue of gay marriage on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
The presdential wannabe says same-sex couples should only be allowed to enter into legal agreements for insurance and other purposes. But that’s where he draws the line. Allowing gays and lesbians to marry is just simply out of the question.
What are your thoughts on gay marriage? I’ll be honest with you, and I’m a Christian, I have no problem with gay marriage.

I don’t see how you can be a true christian and be for gay marriage. It goes against what the Father God says. One thing I don’t like is when you tell someone your against homosexuality they say your judging, why cant i have my opinion and you have yours?

A true Christian doesn’t judge.

Personally, I feel that the gov’t shouldn’t be in the marriage business in the first place, but that’s a separate issue. The ONLY reason my gov’t should be telling me that I can marry person X or person Y is so that we can make new little tax payers. A gay couple can not do that.
Secondary topic time… Gay couples can raise children. Straight couples can screw up their kids. I acknowledge this. However, I don’t think many people would say that they think it is better for a mom to raise a kid as a single mom. They may do a fantastic job (my mom did), but it is not the ideal situation. So if you can have 2 men or 2 women raising a kid, then you are saying that it is strictly a numbers game. It doesn’t matter if they have a mom AND a dad… just that they have more than one parent. So if gender plays no part in that, then it is strictly a numbers game. If 2>1, then 3>1 or 4>1 or 10>1. You see my point, I’m sure.

I hit submit too soon.
Men and women ARE different. Neither is “lesser”, but they are different. They are complimentary.

I totally agree with you Allie - I don’t have a problem with gay marriage and you are absolutely right that a true Christian doesn’t judge. Love your blog!

I’m a Catholic and I have no issues with gay marriage. At the same time, I respect McCain’s right to a different opinion.

marriage is between men and women. Thats it. im not christian and im not homophobic, a lot of my best friends are gay, i think there should be another institution for same sex couples like marriage but just give it a different name. i dont know, i think someone will be offended no matter what.
and you cant say a christian doesnt judge, christians are the most judgemental ppl around i find. the point of christianity is that you DO judge and you DO sin, but you constantly try to improve and confess your shortcomings and thats the beauty of it.
christians follow the bible. the bible is against homosexuality. people say god made them that way. this is a horrible analogy, but a lot of serial killers say that they do what they do because its who they are. the point of being christian is not acting out your urges in that regard. if you like the same sex fine, but you do not lie with another man. if you want to torture nuns and skullrape toddlers, fine. but you don’t DO it.

Some self proclaimed Christians do judge — that is true, that doesn’t mean they are a true Christian. I said a true Christian doesn’t judge.
I try to live my life, the way I feel God wants me to live it. Regardless of what it says or doesn’t say in the bible, it is not my place to judge what others do; I leave that for God to do. (which is also in the bible)
Hence why, I have no problem with gay marriage.
Take God out of the equation, they are simply two people who want to commit their love and partnership with one another — exactly how does that hurt me?
I think our energy is better spent worrying about peace and poverty.

You non believers and judgment policeman should know that EVERYONE is essentially concieved a female. It only takes one chromosome to make it male. Sometime the devlopement happens in the brain stem but not the body parts, hence the body remains female the mind is male - it’s still a person, loved by a mother, able to love another.
WHO THE F— do you think you are to pass ANY judgement over another living being??? Your bible was written by a man. It also says thou shall not kill. DO you eat meat? I didn’t see anything written in parantheses in the bible next to the thou shall not kill part…
Learn to accept others. The ONLY thing making you say what you say is FEAR
Examine your actions on any other level, you’re living in fear. How sad. When I think we were put on earthf or only two reasons 1. to learn to love and 2. to overcome fear
Here you are saying man and woman only and gay is bad - I know. You don’t know diddly. Get over yourself, stop being afraid and learn, learn to really love and accept without judgement. Don’t just say you are Christ like, practice what he did, accept those who are not like you, just as you accept those who are like you.
Nothing makes me want to cry like closed minded people. How fucking sad that someone in 2008 can still say OMG gay, no!!!
Very sad. Very sad. and I hate people who use Christianity as a crutch. Don’t hide behind your bible. If you can’t accept another human being you migh as well throw your bible away.

it’s fine for people to be gay. if they act on it however, then God will punish as he wishes. do they honestly think God honors a gay marriage? the bible says what is says. it’s not gonna change for anyone. sorry.
