As an economics major and looking at all the data, can somebody please give me a real reason (other than "It is wrong") that two people who love each other shouldn't be allowed to be together.

It won't destroy it. It will only make it worth something else, not necessarily less, but worth something else *in the eyes of gays*. Straight men and women will not be affected by that. Though the last data I seen showed a man and wife union to be the most loving of all couples. With Lesbian couples being the most violent.
I just looked at Frito B's response, and yes, that's something the men's movement is waiting for: when two lesbians have a 'child' then on divorce one of them must be abused [as traditionally always happened to the man] well it will be interesting to see them do that to a woman for it will start to bring equality for fathers. Oh happy days.

There is nothing to stop 2 people who love each other being together. A marriage, in the true sense of the word is a union between a man and a women for the purpose of creation (that is children)

People don't choose the color of their skin. However, people who are homosexual/bi-sexual can either choose to practice, or NOT (as I have, by the way, not because I'm terrified of not having any "rights", but because I feel it's a sin).
Also, please remember that the government is in place to try to serve EVERYONE as best as they can. The Christians have a problem with same-sex marriage. The homosexuals have a problem with NOT being able to get married. So...why don't the two groups compromise?
In addition, it's important for the country to take a united stand on something like this. If it reverts to the states, it's not fair on the homosexuals, because it would be legal in one state, and not in another. If it's made completely legal, the entire Bible-belt would probably secede, and I'd be happy to make my home there, although I prefer living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
I guess it was okay to illegalize slavery based on morality, but to keep same-sex marriage illegal based on morality is discrimination?
I'm not saying that it was wrong to illegalize slavery. I'm saying that it can't be okay to make a law based on morality for one thing, and not for another. Whether one likes it or not, our country was founded on Christian principles.
Also, Rome, even as "liberal" as they were, and how widespread homosexuality was, never even considered legalizing same-sex marriage.
I say again, compromise. Civil unions, or even a "commitment ceremony"; they can have the ceremony, they can commit themselves to each other for the rest of their life, but for the Christians' sake, don't call it marriage.
It has nothing to do with economics, and everything to do with fair politics.

Or even any two ppl that aren't in love but would like to share some damn health insurance or a tax break for gOD's sake. Instead of going chapter 11 just to pay for diabetes scripts.
Edit: for all the people that aren't following the rules of the question... There is no data of any kind in the bible stop with the thumping and bring some socioeconomic proof.

People with same sex cannot consummate the very purpose of marriage which is reproduction. How can two persons with the same sex truly enjoy it when they just imagine what is real. Perhaps, they will have companionship but will never have affection for kids except when they adopt children.

Heterosexuals are perfect in every way and they never get divorced, they never commit crimes and they all live happily ever after, they never hate and they have never started a war. Right and after we wipe out all the "gays" what group should we kill next? Live your life the best you can and let others have the same chance as you to be free. Happily married heterosexual here but just sick of all the reasons people can come up with to hate others who are not quite as perfect as they are.

If everyone eventually became gays or lesbians, then we wouldn't have a future b/c the children R the future and there'd be no children. PLUS, God made us (women) for a companion for man AND to produce offspring. If he mde us to be gays and lesbians then Eve would've been a Steve. Or Adam would've been an Ashley.

It will screw up the courts with gay divorces and custody battles. Especially when gays move from states that permit gay marriage to those who prohibit it. Which states will honor a gay marriage certificate is a mess of a legal issue.

How would they have children?
No children, no union. You need 1 man and 1woman to create children to support the union.
