http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/ We, the undersigned, request that the Defense of Marriage act passed in 1996 be amended to take away individual states ability to make same-sex marriage legal within their own borders. We also want an amendment to be made to the constitution that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman, and declares that same-sex marriages are unconstitutional.

First of all...gay hasnt always existed. Back hundreds of years ago they didnt even know what it was...so tell me how could the first gay man...who existed hundreds of years ago choose to be gay when people didnt even think it was possible or even know of its existance? That's like asking someone to order food without a menu or without even knowing what kind of food the place has. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/#sig4138959 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST what is the f*cking point of this? You cant "ban" same sex marriage you can only ban the "legalities of it" if two men want to go out and get married they can with or without the legal rights. If they decide they want to dress up and get their family and friends together and hold a ceremony in their backyard or on the beach they can do it! So stop fighting it. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/#sig3295136 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Why does it matter to you if two people love eachother and happen to be of the same sex? It's not like anyone's telling you you should marry someone of your sex. It doesn't affect you in anyway. Mind your own buisiness. Besides, it's not like people choose to be gay to piss you off, scientist think they have found a "gay gene" that makes you gay. You don't choose to be gay. I mean, you could, but you may not really be gay. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/#sig3157739 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST How would you ever know what the baby wants??? Youcan't say it would be happy todie?!?!?!That's crazy! Just because the babyis in the woman, it doesn't mean the baby ISher body. The baby is it's own self,withit's own feelings Womens rights include whatthey do with their body, but it shouldn't goas far as killing the life inside of her that isnot HER. It's a seperate being!!"misery"-pch! You think killing the babyis what's best for it! Ha!And the # of girlswho get abortions because of rape is very small!!!So, most of the girls who get abortions wereirrisponsible girls who slept around instead ofwaiting till' marriage like the christianssuggest - smart. So if people realize sex wasmeant for making children they would do it at theright time with the right person instead ofgetting a stupid abortion!!Plus, women who getabortions say the process was horrifying andscarring, even worse if they would have wentthrough w/ pregnancy and they regret going throughw/ their abortion and later always wonder howtheir child could have lived their life happily w/her or some other family. She could have had thechild adopted to a loving family, but no shekilled a child so young, it doesn't have avoice to speak it's mind. Since we don'tknow what the child wants, we shoulld choose lifefor 2 reasons: If the child truly wants to die,then we can wait till it can tell us, and if youkill the child, we woulod never know if it wantedlife, it couldn't get a second chance. Youcan't go back on killing someone, whenthey're dead, they're dead! When youchoose to let them live, if they really want tolive, their voice can finally be heard after thehorrible abortion was not had!! So hear my voicespeaking for all the innocent babies out there,choose Pro-life!!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/#sig2891579 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/#sig2891564 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST God sanctified heterosexual marriage between one man and one woman because that is how He designed us and intended us to be. Monogamous heterosexual marriage is to be held sacred because we are to stay true to our design. Just as our Designer designed us. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/#sig2891549 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST gay marriage is a Satanic rite mocking the sacred Christian rite of marriage liberalism = Satanism and State! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/#sig2823031 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Same-sex marriage is false and should be banned. However, the homophobia needs to stop. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/#sig2819779 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. How can 'Holy' matrimony exist between unnatural partners? http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/#sig2735477 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST because im a narrow minded christian who believes that peoples beliefs should be regulated by the government. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/#sig2720271 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this Petition.

Stupid people. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/#sig2291397 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST because I hate the idea of gay marriage. As a Christian, I believe that being gay is wrong because the Bible preaches against it. Marriage should be between a man and a woman, and that's that. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/#sig2275395 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Marriage is a sacred contract between a man and a woman and God. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/#sig2029592 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/#sig1936237 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/#sig1936150 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bangaymarriage/#sig1936139 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Do gods will.
