It seems to me the gay community (and the straight one too I suppose) are mostly hung up on the WORD marriage. In my opinion they are seeking the same legal rights allowed for straight couples, ie: Survivors benefits, sharing medical insurance benefits and so on. It may be that no one has yet considered the divorce proceeding and potential for alimony claims yet but the bad will come with the good. To me, let them have a union of some sort and call it something other than marriage but have it carry all the baggage attached to marriage and the problem should be solved. I do not approve of or agree with gay lifestyles but am not so smug as to dismiss the importance to a large group of people to have the same security in their lives as married couples have in theirs. Call it a state sanctioned civil union or anything but marriage, allow it by law and I think the great discussion will end. If the word marriage continues to be the issue then it will go on for decades. Both sides feel too strongly about it.

Although I have nothing against gays, I believe that marriage is a sacred contract between a man and a woman that has been a tradition in some form or another for thousands of years. Only heterosexual marriages should be allowed to preserve the meaning of marriage. However, I think that there is no reason gays shouldn't spend their lives together if they want.

Absolutely! Religious crackpots may be hindering my hot gay guys, sweet gals, and everyone in between from getting equal rights and recognition, but it WILL happen eventually. And to all of you people who keep saying it's so sacred, does that mean you support a brainless idiot of a girl marrying some unknown rich guy on a TV show for a million freaking dollars and ratings? Where's the sanctity in THAT? Of course, my personal opinion is that marriage IS just a hetero suicide pact, but that may be just me... and some other more intelligent beings.
And as far as that abomination sh*t goes, I bet you all eat shellfish.

Definitely. Love is love and if there is a God then he would approve of Love in any form, after all that is what he preaches isn't it?

Nope. It's an abomination in God's eyes.
