Gay marriage is between two consenting adults. That's the key word. Consenting. But those that hate gay marriages bring up polygamy and man-boy, man-sister, and various other types of marriages that they can think of. It's an alarmist view that holds no weight.
I'm divorced. Most of my friends are divorced. I can count the number of couples that are still together after 10 years on one hand. 3 are straight and 2 are gay. One of the gay couples is closing in on 50 years together. The longest of the straight, 30 years.
Besides, why not let them be miserable like the rest of us?

I'm for it. A marriage between 2 consenting adults is no problem. The world isn't going to end. I think that some people these days are still letting fear cloud their logic. They feel that if they condone gay marriage God will strike them down. I'm sure God loves homosexual people as much as everyone else. There are real things to worry about in the world besides 2 caring people committing their lives to one another and building a family and a home.

There is no legitimate reason to be against gay marriage. Two consenting adults who ask to take on the same responsibilities as straight couples should be allowed to marry.
The only arguments I've ever seen against it are based on religion - which has no place in government. The laws will not force a church to marry anyone - it's only based on civil law.
And, yes, to the person who asked - gay people do go to church.

Think of the advantages!
Attorneys will love it: Gay Marriage = Gay Divorce (more $)
Marriage Liscenses: (more $)
There is no "sanctity" of marriage. Britney Spears proved that. Why do these people insist on forcing their code of ethics on the rest of the country.
Let Gay people marry - why should they be denied that "legal" right. It isn't a religious issue - no one is forcing others to marry the same sex, it is a personal decision, so religion has nothing to do with it.
For all those who "fear" gay marriage, how does it harm you? It doesn't, how does it threaten your lifestyle? It doesn't. Find something worthwhile to protest.

I am for it
Gay people are expected to pay taxes, obey laws, fight wars, be citizens, etc
They have the responsibilities of straight people, they should have the same rights too
I have no problem calling it MARRIAGE but if religious groups want to co-op the term marriage, then think of a new word. Just have the exact same rights (and responsibility;s) and every ultra-conservative who objects well...they do not have to be in a gay marriage!

I am not ashamed to be gay, and I don't "oppose" equal marital rights for gay couples, if it were a legislative option. That is, my vote -- if and when I vote on the subject -- is to vote for equal rights to marriage (or any other alternative option, such as "civil unions"). But one way I am very ashamed of the gay community is when all these people delude themselves into thinking that the U.S. Constitution (or any state constitution) was designed by people who wanted to grant equal rights on the basis of sexual orientation. I have studied constituitonal law quite a lot, as a lay person, and with what I have seen, I know that it is quite easy for judges to lie and claim that the 14th amendment protects equal rights for gays. The Court's rulings in Romer v. Evans and Lawrence v. Texas were full of lies. So was Goodridge v. Dept. of Public Health.
I am not "against gay marriage," I am just very strongly against the wrong people legalizing it.

I support it, because, marriage to me is the the union of 2 people in love who care for each other. If two people of the same sex feel that way about each other, then why not allow them to marry and live together legally as spouses?

I support any loving cohabitating relationship.
Why?
Because, it takes two individual adults to decide to unite and form a family.
A family is formed by the union of two separate individuals.
It stops here??? Hetero individuals may come together. They may or may not attempt to procreate.
If their attempts at procreation result in nothing, should I assume that their union is unholy? Unnatural? Should they adopt?
If they decide to adopt, are their children legit?
The children they adopt are wanted, but have been concieved via the results of in vitro...
The genetics parents of the embryo involved are each deeply committed to individuals of the same sex...
Is the result of this union any less lovable than what results from what is expected from a healthy hetero relationship?
Love is defined by the individuals involved.
Love=marriage=strictly biological children=ignorance

yes, the government does not have the right to define what a marriage is. separation of church and state, and more weddings means more parties! how does it hurt those against it when homosexuals get hithced...wait, it doesnt, and dont you conservatives dare say anything about lower taxes or some bs like that...or my man JC, love your neighbor, its not your right to judge
anyways, gay marriage is fine.

I am a gay man myself, and no I don't support gay marriage. I think it sounds stupid to be calling another man my husband. If gay people want to live together, that's ok. But getting married, I can't see it.
