And Stop the same sex marriage activist ! They are crazy.
Contra Same Sex Marriage :
1. The institution of marriage has traditionally been defined as being between a man and a woman.
2. Marriage is for procreation and should not be extended to same-sex couples because they cannot produce children together.
3. Children need both a mother and a father.
4. Legalizing gay marriage could lead down a "slippery slope," giving people in polygamous, incestuous, bestial, and other nontraditional relationships the right to marry.
5. Allowing gay couples to wed could further weaken the institution of marriage.
6. Homosexuality is immoral and unnatural.
7. Gay marriage is contrary to the word of God and is incompatible with the beliefs, sacred texts, and traditions of many religious groups.
8. Legalizing gay marriage often leads to an end to domestic partnership benefits for gay and straight couples, which disadvantages couples who choose not to get married.
9. Gay marriage will accelerate the assimilation of gays into mainstream heterosexual culture to the detriment of the homosexual community.
10. Marriage is an outmoded, oppressive institution that should be weakened, not expanded
11. People should not have their tax dollars used to support something they believe is wrong.
12. Marriage is a privilege, not a right.
13. Legalizing gay marriage advances the "homosexual agenda" and unfairly paints opponents as bigots.
Pro Same Sex Marriage :
the curse of Sodom & Gomorah
1. Denying some people the option to marry is discriminatory and creates a second class of citizens.
2. Same-sex couples should have access to the same benefits enjoyed by heterosexual married couples

6. Same-sex marriage is a civil right
7. Marriage is not only for procreation, otherwise infertile couples or couples not wishing to have children would be preventedfrom marrying.
8. Gay marriages can bring financial gain to federal, state, and local governments and can help boost the economy.
9. Gay couples make good parents.
10. Gay marriage bans cause humiliation and uncertainty for children being raised by same-sex couples
11. Marriage provides both physical and psychological health benefits, and banning gay marriage increases rates of psychological disorders
12. Legalizing gay marriage will not harm the institution of marriage, and same-sex marriages may even be more stable than heterosexual marriages.
13. Gay marriage legalization is correlated with lower divorce rates, while gay marriage bans are correlated with higher divorce rates.
14. Legal marriage is a secular institution that should not be limited by religious objections to same-sex marriage.
It's Crazy ! Right !!!
Islam is clear in its prohibition of homosexual acts.
Islamic scholars cite these reasons for condemning homosexuality, based on teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah:
It clashes with the "natural" order in which God created human beings. It brings destruction of the family and the institutions of marriage. It leads people to ignore God's guidance in other areas of life. In Islamic terminology, homosexuality is alternatively called al-fahsha' (an obscene act), shudhudh (abnormality), or 'amal qawm Lut (behavior of the People of Lut).
Islam teaches that believers should neither participate in nor support homosexuality.Marriage in Islam
The Qur'an describes that everything has been created in pairs which complement one another. Pairing of male and female is thus part of human nature and the natural order. Marriage and family is the accepted way in Islam for a person's emotional, psychological, and physical needs to be met. The Qur'an describes the husband/wife relationship as one of love, tenderness, and support. Procreation is another way of fulfilling human needs, for those whom God blesses with children. The institution of marriage is considered the foundation of Islamic society, the natural state in which all people have been created to live.Punishment for Homosexual Behavior
Muslims generally believe that homosexuality stems from conditioning or exposure, and that a person who feels homosexual urges should strive to change. It is a challenge and struggle to overcome, just as others face in their lives in different ways. In Islam, there is no legal judgment against people who feel homosexual impulses but do not act upon them.
In many Muslim countries, acting upon homosexual feelings -- the behavior itself -- is condemned and subject to legal punishment. The specific punishment varies among jurists, ranging from jail time or flogging, to the death penalty. In Islam,capital punishment is only reserved for the most grievous crimes which hurt society as a whole. .
Arrest and punishment for homosexual crimes, however, are not frequently carried out. Islam also places a strong emphasis on an individual's right to privacy. If a "crime" is not carried out in the public sphere, it is largely overlooked as being a matter between the individual and God.
