Natural law? What exactly is "natural law?" I don't think it matters to be honest. I wasn't put on this earth to judge -- and in the Bible - there is some mention of "judgment" by humans. That will be up to God --- you know, down the road sometime - whenever HE wants. See the reason they want to be married is because although they love each other very much and may spend the rest of their lives together, they don't have the same laws/benefits behind them as married heterosexual people do (life insurance, etc.---- all of the benefits of marriage - and there are plenty) so in reality it isn't fair. If they are going to spend the rest of their lives together anyway, what difference does it make? I think they should have the same rights. But I'm not a homophobe either and I am somewhat of a humane person.

laws, natural laws... all man made, so natural laws are really un-natural.
Gay people deserve the same human rights as straight people.
Gay people pay taxes, provide services and YES, they serve in the military.
All gay people want from marriage, is the same rights and protections given straights.
If you were in a relationship for say, 30 years and your partner was dying, without marriage, you would not even have the right to visit in the hospital, the family could come and wipe you out trying to take the partners "half".
The marriage issue is not so gays can flaunt it, it for their protection, which is a right straights never think about but would fight to keep if it were in danger of being taken away.
Besides, how does it affect YOU if someone else is married!???
It doesn't.

We give gays equal legal rights in all other areas. They're human beings, after all.
So if a gay couple is putting in the same level of commitment and time together as a straight couple, then I think the gay couple should have access to a civil ceremony that gives them all the same legal rights and recourses as hetero couples in the relevant legal arenas--taxes, property ownership, inheritance, adoption, etc.
As for what the churches think, to hell with them. They can't even agree on what constitutes a marriage. They're all over the board on what rites need to be conducted to seal the marriage, whether people of different faiths can marry, the morality of abortion, doctrine on divorce and remarriage, birth control, whether sex is solely for procreation or can be recreational as well, what's virtuous and what's sinful, etc.
Let the churches say and do whatever they want within the circle of their own followers. But they're too fickle and divided among themselves to be allowed any input on matters of any importance at the national level. As a rule, I don't place much trust in government. But in the matter of separation of church and state, I place far more trust in government than in the dimwitted pronouncements of churches and local yokel preachers.
As for "natural law," any doctor will tell you that kissing is a violation of "natural law." Mouths are for eating and breathing, not kissing. They contain germs and infections and rotting food, and they're one of the biggest causes of the spread of illnesses in society. (Note: I'm being sarcastic, of course. I'm just demonstrating that the average person violates "natural law" all the time. Humans are not bound by "natural law"--whatever that is.)

It's not any of my business or yours what adults do privately.
As for "marriage" I think the church should decide.
I think the government should stay out of the marriage business altogether.
The government should grant every adult citizen the right to choose a civil partner ... anyone they want.

I don't really have a problem with it - though I would rather have all our grandchildren and children turn out to be straight. Being gay is a hard life. Everyone deserves happiness and love.
Why am i SO TIRED of hearing about this issue?

Totally against it. It's completely wrong besides if that was suppose to be the way of life then there would have been only females or males, not both on Earth.

The gays should all be sent to Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine and get blown up with thousands of other innocents. That's God's way.
Oh my gosh, if that were true, I'd hang myself.
