Since most religions are based on what GOD has taught, the view of most is negative. Marriage as GOD taught is between a man and a woman only. Nowhere in scripture does it approve of two men or two woman marrying.

Answer: The Bible does not mention same-sex marriage.
Answer:
The Bible doesn't mention "same-sex marriage" even in its account of the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah, where "...the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous..." and so unbelievable to God that He sent His two angels to verify if "...what they have done is a bad as the outcry that has reached Me..." (Gen.18:20-21 NIV).
The account doesn't say if these, and the surrounding towns [Jude 1:7] that indulged in acts of homosexuality, bothered with the marriage ceremony at all. They certainly didn't offer to marry the two angels [who appeared to them as men -- Gen.19:5].
To be sure, homosexuality has been extant in man's societies throughout history. Even God in His Word cites laws against its acts. But although the [abominable, to God] sexual relationships are documented by the historians; that anyone ever sought to go to the lengths of "marriage" is obscure, and may well be unique to today's society and world.
It would seem that the proposition of same-sex marriagewas even
unthinkable to past generations... including the generation in the Bible that also doesn't mention it -- the generation that became God's biblical "example" to all the future generations of man [Jude 1:7 & II Peter 2:6].

The United Methodist Church currently prohibits celebrations of same-sex unions by its elders and in its churches.[59] However, in May 2011 a resolution was passed in the Baltimore-Washington annual conference which seeks to change the church's Book of Discipline to be amended "to allow pastors to perform same-sex marriages and ceremonies in member churches in jurisdictions where legislatures already have approved gay marriage laws, such as the District." A vote at the General Conference in 2012 is still required.
The Alliance of Baptists has in the past supported the legal right to marry; its position on corollary church services is unclear.

Do teenagers have the same views on marriage as their parents?
not many people have the same veiws of life as their parents, partially because they are from two differnet generations in which some things that never used to be socially acceptable are now, especially not marriage. MY parents tell me to wait until i am at least 25 but when i think about it i would be ready for marriage and a family at the age of 21. watever you choose just make sure its a wise choice. although nowadays marriage is taken for granted and it is far to easy to get a divorce.
Are weddings a waste of time?
The practicality of a wedding depends on the couple's views and thoughts. Some see it as an important ceremony while others see it as more a social mark of the marriage.
Why is marriage weaker today because women are rejecting patriarchal relationships?
Maybe it's because some men keep trying to enforce antiquated and unrealistic views of women in society. Instead of viewing them as subservient and secondary, marriage might strengthen if it's viewed as a partnership.
Is malia obama gay?
No, there isn't any evidence that she is. You may have read that she and her sister Sasha were advocating to their dad to support gay marriage (marriage equality). But many straight people believe gay people should have equal rights. Sasha and Malia are not gay, but they have met some gay couples, and they wanted President Obama to change his views on gay marriage (which he eventually did).

Are some politicians changing their position on same-sex marriage because of public opinion polls?
There does seem to be a number of US politicians changing their views on the issue of same-sex marriage lately. One can certainly speculate that a dramatic increase in the percentage of Americans that now support the legalization of same-sex marriage has had a major influence on the decision by some politicians to give up their opposition to same-sex marriage. There are other possible influences, however, such as a poor showing by opponents to same-sex marriage in the 2012 elections and the anticipation of a ruling by the US Supreme Court that might be favorable to same-sex marriage rights. (Some kind of decision is expected by the end of June 2013.) It is likely that some public figures do not want to be seen as espousing positions that have been ruled unconstitutional, nor to be remembered by history as opposing an important civil rights issue.
