As moral as opposite sex marriage. People fall in love and want to make a public commitment to the person they love.

It depends on what or who you're basing your moral standards by. From a world's standpoint, no, it's completely moral. But since you're in Religious and Spirituality category, I can safely assume you’re looking for a religious view or more specifically God’s biblical moral standards.
In any passage referring to marriage, it always highlights two aspects, the fact that it’s between a man and a woman. For example, Genesis 2:24 says: “a MAN will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his WIFE and they must become one flesh.” From that we can properly conclude that God intended marriage to be an intimate bond between a man and a woman.
God created man and woman to be able to compliment each other. And of course the scripture you may have already heard when discussing homosexuality is Leviticus 18:22, which says, “You must not lie down with a male in the same way that you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable act.”
With that being said, the bible DISAPPROVES of hatred of homosexuals or homophobia. True bible followers are directed many times to RESPECT EVERYONE. 1 Peter 2:17 says just that, “Honor men of ALL SORTS, have love for the whole association of brothers, be in fear of God, honor the king.”
We shouldn’t hate or be disgusted by, or terrorize gay people, rather we should show love. But showing love to all doesn’t mean you approve of their conduct.

If you don't accept the Old Testament as having authority over your life, then you have no reason to think same-sex marriage is immoral. I don't accept that the Old Testament has any authority over my life so sex-same marriage is moral as far as I'm concerned.

if they love each other treat each other well someone else s relationship between two consenting adults and of age is not my business
i wish all couples well straight or gay life is all about human relationship
what matters is they got the same rights given to other they were denied for to long .
. they got their LEGAL rights ..
if you define morals as principles of right and wrong
denying someone else the same rights you reserve for yourself that is immoral
against the principles of equality

There were people who opposed the abolition of slavery, emancipation for women, the banning of discrimination of women, the attempts to eradicate racism and now the need to eradicate homophobia!
Taking one sin to indulge in intolerance, hatred, bigotry, homophobia and persecution will never be acceptable in the eyes of God!
Christian leaders from around the world have clearly stated their opposition to the "victimization or diminishment" of gays and lesbians, saying demonizing and persecuting them was "totally against Christian charity and basic principles of pastoral care".
"We say that no one should have to live in fear because of the bigotry of others."
The Mormons poured millions into forcing through prop 8 in CA: to ban gay marriage. In August 2010 the court held that to be unconstitutional. On 15 June 2011 the San Francisco court upheld that decision because it violates the constitutional rights of citizens. On 7 February 2012 the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck the California law again finding that the California state constitution banning same-sex marriage violated principles of due process and equal protection under the law.
The court found that the ban violated equality laws to target a minority group and withdraw a right that it possessed, without a legitimate reason for doing so. Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California. The constitution simply does not allow for laws of this sort.
The Supreme Court upheld the early court decision and has now stated that gay marriage is legal in ALL STATES! Thus gay marriage is legal and anyone who shows intolerance, hatred, bigotry, homophobia and persecution towards them faces the CRIMINAL LAW and the charges are rated as HATE CRIME with severe sentences!
Sadly Christianity is being destroyed and criminalized by people who use the bible as their excuse for totally unchristian behaviour.
The loving god works in mysterious ways.

Perfectly moral.
It is in keeping with our philosophical belief in equality and fairness. It provides the very same stability and benefits for same sex couples as it does for opposite sex couples, and that stability is also potentially important to society. It also provides financial stability and all of the benefits we usually attribute to the legal institution of marriage. Lastly, it allows people who love each other to make their commitment to each other public, just as it does for opposite sex couples, and there is value in that public commitment, as well.

I left the gay lifestyle due to the prompting of the Spirit of God who urged me to repent of it and of my love for it. I no longer support gay rights because of what the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 and Romans 1:26. Let's face facts, our bodies are designed for heterosexuality. Two men and two women don't belong together. At first gay "marriage" seems glamorous and satisfying but then more and more cheating and selfishness creep in. Every gay "marriage" reneges on its promise of long term commitment. The gay life is nothing but lust and promiscuity. The Supreme Court isn't God. Children fare far better when they're raised in a marriage relationship between one man and one woman. Any other sexual relationship is a breeding ground for unstable relationships and STDs. Homosexuality is a breakdown and a form of emotional immaturity because it's due to the failure to identify with the same sex parent by late infancy to early toddlerhood. Same sex "marriages" are a search for intimacy but that's not the proper way to go about meeting those needs.

Immoral, its pretty simple God created marriage to be between a man and woman. People who think that marriage should just be between anyone, are just slapping God in the face, your basically saying that Gods is wrong and you are right. As a Christian I obviously sin but I do not deny that what I am doing is right.

Marriage was made a sacrament by the church in the 12th century.
The purpose of registering marriages was to support widows & orphans.
The issue of same-sex marriage creates civil unions for legal status.

The union of a man and a woman as husband and wife according to the standard set out by God. Marriage is a divine institution, authorized and established by Jehovah in Eden. Marriage brings into being the family unit, the family circle. Its basic purpose was the reproducing of the members of the human family, to bring into existence more creatures of the human kind. Jehovah the Creator made male and female and ordained marriage as the proper arrangement for the multiplication of the human race. If this is what the Creator instituted, then a man nor woman should not lie down or marry anyone of the same sex.
2015-12-05 4:12 pm
It's simply a matter of equality and human rights. Religion doesn't own the patent on marriage or morality.
As you can see by many of the answers, the only excuse people can come up with are religious excuses. Religious excuses don't trump human rights.

2015-12-05 5:17 am
Immoral. I hear this as an excuse for it...."it's love." Each love has its own entity. Parents, husband/wife, brother /sister, children, animals. Any action that is out of its created love is a sin (i.e. sex with an animal is a sin. It also produces disease like AIDS) so now we have many suffering for the sins of others. This is how sin works. It effects others whether you realize it or not.
Eventually pastors will be forced to marry two men or women. This is directly against our belief so we get sued. It's happening right now! Again innocent people suffer for the sins of others.
You can call God names or reject what he says and sin. However a sin is a sin because it's going against how we are created. There are consequences to it.
Here's an example: a toddler goes to touch a lit stove. When the parent says no the tot says, "your mean! You never let me do anything! Why doesn't the stove make rainbows. Etc." The parent says, "That's not it's function. you'll get hurt. It's a freaking stove!"
This is what homosexuality is. So that when they live in guilt and fear at first and don't know why. Then when they're open about it they live in anger against others who don't agree they are born that way. They are living in a way they were not created....and even more sueing others who don't agree with them.

its not even possible
two of the same sex cannot possibly become "one flesh"
its Adam and Eve - not Adam and Steve
Mat 19:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
Mat 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Mat 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

The Bible condemns sexual activity that is not between a husband and wife, whether it is homosexual or heterosexual conduct. (1 Corinthians 6:18) This includes intercourse, fondling another person’s genitals, and engaging in oral or anal sex.
While the Bible disapproves of homosexual acts, it does not condone hatred of homosexuals or homophobia. Instead, Christians are directed to “respect everyone.” 1 Peter 2:17

The fact of the matter, it is immoral, why because it spreads diseases and it is not normal for man to lay with man, or a woman to lay with a woman, it is just not right because for one you can not produce an offspring and that is what marriage, and sex is for only. if you are a child of God.

The same as marrying a donkey or a child under the age of consent. It is immoral and illogical. Marriage is defined as a binding between an adult male and an adult female who consent to have children. The whole point of procreation is to continue the human race. It cannot be done with same sex couple.

Immoral.
“But, because of SEXUAL IMMORALITIES, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband” (1Cor 7:2).
“But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, SEXUALLY IMMORAL, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death” (Rev 21:8; emp. added).
Any sex other than between a husband and a wife is sexually immoral. Examples include premarital sex, adultery, homosexuality and bestiality. And the consequences of engaging in such are worse than horrific.

Same-sex "marriage" is immoral.
It is the man-sanctioned approval of the unity of two men or two women living in sexual immorality. Even if you disagree with this, it will not change God's mind, that is why we call it "absolute morality".

Our Creator established rules governing marriage long before governments began regulating the institution. The opening book of the Bible tells us: “A man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:24) The Hebrew word “wife,” according to Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words, “connotes one who is a female human being.” Jesus confirmed that those yoked together in marriage should be “male and female.” (Matthew 19:4) Thus, God intended marriage to be a permanent and an intimate bond between a man and a woman. Men and women are designed to complement each other so they may be capable of satisfying each other’s emotional, spiritual, and sexual needs and desires.

2015-12-04 7:25 pm
There are sins that God considers to be worse than others evidenced by the fact that the bible teaches that there will be degrees of punishment in Hell (Luke 12:47-48). Homosexuality is not just another sin amid a plethora of sins increasingly abided by in America. It is a uniquely grievous sin identified in the bible as a barometer of how depraved a society has become. In the book of Romans, Paul identifies it as the sign of a society begging for the wrath of God (Romans 1:18-27).
