America, what you do what your life is what you do. We as Americans have come to accept the growing homosexuality population. The thought of gays marrying each other disturbs us more and some homosexuals too. The rest of he homosexual population wants one right in particular to marry each other. You can either go religious, liberal, conservative as much as you want with this question. It's your life, you live it. Take a stand. Let's talk about it. One Love.

There shouldn't be gay marriage, but they should be able to have legal unions. Marriage is defined as a man and a woman in the bible, and that is what the country was founded on...but it was also founded on freewill and being homosexual is a freedom. Married people have special tax breaks and other things that help them out, and homosexual couples cannot get that because they cannot get married so I think that they should give them legal unions (because I don't believe in gay marriage in the church).
Marriage is in the church.
Legal unions are for the state.
Straight people have both, so why can't gay people have the one that matters most? (afterall the already have the commitment)

It doesn't bother me.
Sanctity of Marriage? Like Britney Spears' 55-hour marriage? That Mickey Rooney and Elizabeth Taylor have been married 16 times betweeen them? Anna Nicole Smith and the old millionaire?
Where does the sanctity part come into play?

Why not? They love each other and want to commit themselves to each other publically in a marriage ceremony. How can that have any effect on my marriage? I think divorce is more threatening to the institution of marriage than gay people marrying!

Yes. Human life has become such a thing that many people long for a completed circle life of birth, growing up, finding "the one", marriage, children, and death. No one should be denied these.

Coming from a Gay person, I don't like the idea of marriage, I think we should have similar rights, but marriage is so old.
We can have commitment ceremony's.

Yes, i think that gays are being denied equal civil rights by not being allowed to marry. Slaves weren't allowed to marry and i think that should have been changed. Blacks and whites at one time weren't allowed to marry and i'm glad that changed. Now it is time to change the unfair rules about gays getting married.

I don't think that we should have the right to say that they can't get married. It's a little thing called freedom.
