Yes

its not right its morally wrong humans weren't designed to be gay. if people keep being gay population will decrease.

Gay marriage is just like straight marriage, except it is two people of the same sex, it is still marriage and should still be deemed as valid.

if there good people maybe but if they are loud and annoying like most of them are in pride month no.

my best counter argument is that gay marriage should not be allowed as it may make people feel weird and also it makes more sense to marry opposite gender because then what is the point of having 2 genders.

nooo

Gay marriage is just like straight marriage, except it is two people of the same sex, it is still marriage and should still be deemed as valid.

Biologically speaking it is clear that men are supposed to be paired with women. I believe this to be by divine design. I understand that not everyone believes in God but that does not matter; the biology speaks for it self.

To go against nature, to deny yourself a partner whose differences will compliment your own qualities and to deny giving children a mother or a father is morally wrong and will result in a significant burden being placed on society.

I have heard many people say let them do what they want to, it doesn't affect me. But that is not true. The LGBTQI+ ideology has made…  Read more its way into our workplaces and our schools. Those who would like to mind their own business are being confronted with it everyday; they are not allowed peace. Those who would like to speak up about the very real issues they see are told they must be silent, they are not allowed a voice.

These two penguins are homosexual and ended up raising a baby penguin together and that penguin was perfectly capable and healthy and was not negatively affected by the fact that it had two dads

Children who grow up without a mother and father are at a far greater social risk. We already live in a society that does not value the father and I see so many young people struggle through life when they do not have a stable father at home. This is not a sleight against single mothers who have been put in a horrible position and families are forced to get away from abusive me.

Before the abolition of the White Australia Policy. Wards of the state (children of the stolen generations) and anyone entering into an interracial marriage required permission from government to enter have their marriage recognised.

Government intrusion into private consensual love life of adults has occurred before, and I do not feel such big government authority is welcome in a society that claims to be free and democratic.

While I am personally glad that Australia has democratically allowed gay marriage via plebiscite. I would be horrified if I personally had to ask over 20 million people for permission to get married.

As mentioned above, there is no negative impacts from allowing same sex couples to marry. It shows them that they are equal to the rest of us & being able to get married is something that all heterosexual people are able to do so why would their equals be unable?

Marriage is quite often a fundamental part of citizenship and social participation in society. As such, equal access to the sociocultural, psychological, and tangible benefits of marriage is important to sexual minority people’s health and well-being, regardless of whether they access this institution for themselves. Traditionally yes, this has been between a man and woman but tradition is not enough to warrant something being illegal or illegitimate. Gay people work, pay taxes, live human lives, and contribute to society in the same way a heterosexual person would. Why should they not…  Read more have access to the same institution of marriage as their peers? Why should they not be able to access financial benefits that arise from having a spouse? Why should they not access these same medical securities? Studies show that gay individuals living in areas that implemented or were considering restrictions on same-sex marriage reported higher rates of alcohol use disorders and psychological distress compared to their counterparts living in states without such bans. Living in a space that oppresses you, refuses you freedoms to live the life you want to lead, and love who you love, and marry who you wish to marry, is simply cruel. To say that gay marriage should be illegal, and that marriage should only be between men and women, is causing sexual minorities to suffer.

Its basic human rights. As a lesbian, I'd like to think I'll get married one day. Marriage is about two people who love each other and want to spend their lives together, them being the same sex shouldn't matter

Everybody is equal to choose marriage. Marriage is not only a religious union but also a state union.

According to the ABS, same-sex couple marriages contributed an estimated $161 million in the first 3 years alone toward Australians annual GDP.

This is about ensuring everyone has the same rights. Equality means the same, not more, the same as you. Why should being straight provide you with more rights than being gay?

Why would you want to marry the same sex. You can’t continue your blood line and reproduce. Be happy with the gender god gave you

you cant change love, and shown in statistics the majority fo people are defined as lgbtq+ and we shouldn't have to limit there love

I’m Catholic, and Marriage is a lasting commitment of a man and a woman to a lifelong partnership, established for the good of each other and the procreation of their children.

Yes, because Gay shouldn't be allowed as no one wants to be around that or see that and it should be abolished.

There is no problem with gay people being together, but marriage is traditionally between a man and a woman and should continue to be that way.

This contradicts the accepted norms in society, therefore they cannot be allowed to identify with a marriage status as marriage is strictly between men and women.

The Bible says explicitly not to have sexual relations with people of the same sex. Therefore, gay marriage is a sin.

Only about 3-7% of the population is homosexual. Is this really enough to make it illegal? Even if you’re against it, it just seems silly to get upset about it.

nooo

Each person should be able to love whoever they want, they don’t have any control over what they are attracted to.

Love is a natural human emotion, hormones and the natural draw to something you prefer. The sexual draw is something we are all born with and are encouraged to pursue with every culture, race and basic human right. But somehow it's now seen as a choice to be gay and not a humans basic bodily instinct and preference. So to put restrictions on whether or not a human being can show there love by a wedding ceremony and marriage is just a power play done to keep people in line and has grown with sheep minded people and the uneducated.

Marriage is simply a commitment in writing to another person. Queer people will always exists and refusing to accept their marriage won’t change or diminish their existence

Marriage is something that is between them and the church and marriage should then be between a man and a woman.

People should not be forced to marry or love someone they do not. Love is love and people should be allowed to marry and freely love the people they wish without facing judgement.

When they are dug up after death, they will be identified as a man or women and not some cis gendered thing.

How does gay marriage affect your life? Like your day to day life. The answer is it doesn’t. Just because you are uncomfortable doesn’t mean we should discriminate. Maybe you should look inwards and reflect on why you feel uncomfortable.
