Let people get married if they want to get married. It isn't huring anyone else. THose who love each other deserve legal protection. Religion can choose to disagree gay marriage, but the government shouldn;t.

People against gay marriage, take away the bible, and children, and your opinion of gays are gross, which are all irrevelant, what rational argument do you have now?
I don't understand why this is such a divisive issue - if you take away genders, what is it? LOVE. The one thing that everyone is always seeking, because of how it makes them feel.
To everyone that thinks homosexuality is a sin, what about love? Is love a sin, regardless of who someone loves?

I think it's a mixture of religious and historical meaning. You know, the whole pureness thing for religion and tradition for history. But who knows? The true meaning has been lost in this day and age of heterosexual marriages lasting less than a week.

Those things are not related at all. Like the others said, a pet cannot sign a marriage contract or say its vows, so it obviously cannot marry. And in polygamy the husband does not love all of his wives as much as he does just one (if any) of them. Besides, it was a cultural thing that is outdated here in the US, considering we have the technology and drugs to make sure that our children do not die in infancy.
I truly don't understand. USA- everything we stand for- is human rights. Homosexuals are humans. So... what's the issue? I understand that some religions are against this, but I also don't think that the physical aspect should be so problematic. I mean, if two people love each other, then why shouldn't they be allowed the same rights and a man and a woman who love each other?

Oh, but think about the "sanctity of marriage" that would be eroded by two men or two women, who are living in enough sin, to actually have equal rights.
Please understand I'm being extremely sarcastic... I for one am all for gay marriage, because there is no real good governmental OR constitutional reason for all people to not marry and to not be treated fully equally.
And you know how all of these people that have had multiple failed marriages (straight people, since gays can't marry - YET hahahahaha) have been upholding the sacred process of marriage.
quote: And yes, my examples of pologamy and pets were perfectly relevant.
No, they are not. In the bible polygamy is perfectly fine and completely encouraged. The marriage of humans and animals will never happen unless animals learn how to pick up a pen and sign a marriage contract.
Let's use some common sense now. If a man were to marry his dog, and he died in an accident, the dog would get full benefits for the death of his spouse if that spouse had life insurance. What the hell would the dog do with it? That, my friend, is a waste of money. Therefore it is a very dumb idea.
quote: I was simply saying that if we keep loosening up the rights of this country, pretty soon anything will be allowed
So if two gay men or women decide to marry, what's going to happen? Is it going to be as horrible as when two people of different races decided to get married in the 1950s?
quote: If two gays really want to be together, then they can, they just don't need to be married.
Why not? What makes heterosexuals so much better that we deserve to marry and they don't?

Two unrelated people love each other. Its the right thing to be allowed to marry or at least have the same rights as a married couple. Polygamy is I think, unrelated to this subject matter, rarely does the husband love all his wifes, this is just a system of being able to raise loads of offspring. Let's not even get into different species marriage. Now that in its entirety is wrong since well pets aren't humans for one.
*No, it's not the right thing to be allowed to be married. And yes, my examples of pologamy and pets were perfectly relevant. I think you missed the point though. I was simply saying that if we keep loosening up the rights of this country, pretty soon anything will be allowed. And by the way, the way that the new amendment is being written WILL allow people to marry their pets. Quite sad really... SO, my position is still that I do not think that gay marriage should become legal. If two gays really want to be together, then they can, they just don't need to be married.

I AGREE WITH IT. IM NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS IN THE BIBLE BECAUSE IM NOT CHRISTIAN BUT I KNOW THAT PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE SAME SEX SHOULD BE ABLE TO MARRY. ITS LIKE SAYING THAT A BLACK WOMAN CANT MARRY A CHINESE MAN. ANOTHER REASON I BELIEVE IN IT IS BECAUSE I KNOW GAY PEOPLE. ONE OF WHICH IS MY AUNT STEPH. AND I THINK THAT HER AND HER LOVER ANGEL SHOULD BE ABLE TO MARRY AND START A FAMILY, WITH RIGHTS. BUT I DONT STOP HERE. IVE BEEN WRITING TO A LOT OF POWERFUL PEOPLE TO TRY AND STOP BUSH FOR BANNING SAME SEX MARRIAGES. MAKE YOURSELF HEARD. SPEAK UP AND WRITE TO YOUR STATE SENATORS. THANX AND MUCHO LUV.
First of all, I'd just like to say that I am not a gay-basher or whatever. I simply think that homosexuality is wrong and marriage should be out of the question. If our country allows gay marriage, then we aren't taking a step towards total FREEDOM, we are taking a step toward total DISASTER. If we allow gay marriage, what will be next? Perhaps pologamy? Marriage to your pet? We have to draw the line, and this is where the line should be drawn. I know that my opinion is strong, but it's not vicious. I simply think that marriage should be reserved to a man and a woman.
In my opinion, saying two people of the same sex can't marry is like saying two people of different religions can't marry. It's wrong both ways. In this world, if you find love, you should be allowed to marry the one you love because finding it can be rare.
And to everyone who looks at it from a Biblical/Religious perspective, I have to ask this: God creates you, right? If you are gay, you are born with it, it's not your choice. Therefore, would God not create gay people? And if He loves all His Children, would He not love them as well? It's just a thought...
