Marriage, in the eyes of the law, is a contract between two people. Religion should not be in the mix, because just as you said "God intended". No. Obviously, hetero's are doing a great job! Divorce rate is 50%. Britney Spears can get married for 55 hours, and people blow it off. But two people who have been together for over thirty years are discriminated against because they happen to be the same sex. I've been married for 8 years (to a man), and gays and lesbians marrying does NOT destroy the sanctity of MY marriage. It's stupid, ignorant, and wrong to think otherwise. And really, it's none of your business whether they can or can't. Straights are screwing it up. Who's to say gays will? Quit shoving religious morality down other people's throats.
And if you want to say that marriage is for the purpose of producing children (procreation), I suggest this: When you marry, you have 5 years to produce one living child. After five years and no offspring, your union is declared null and void. Barren? Old? Doesn't matter. You want to gloss over your self righteous discrimination and make this about reproduction, then suffer the consequences.
And that's what it is: DISCRIMINATION. Every American has the fundamental right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It's none of your business. Concern yourself with your own relationships. Let everyone have the right to commit themselves to whomever they want, and afford the same protection under the law that is supposed to promote the separation of church and state.

I think that more love is needed in this world so if they love and do no harm ,let them.I also see the need for property and next of kin issues to be settled ,OK think about a gay couple ,been together for 20 years ,one dies and the family ,say brother of the dead one can take all property and decide how to bury the person and there life long partner is shut out hand has no say,it would not be right.I know a will would fix this but wills can be overturned but if they were married the partner would have the rights.

God may have intended man and woman to be together. But what in the hell does the government have to do with it? I mean they say they have to protect marriage cuz the gays would make it look bad. I highly doubt that. I mean they are ppl too. Everyone was all in the same pot til they came out. So I say let them go and get married, they can be as miserable as everyone else or just as happy. I mean think about it, they deserve marriage more than anyone else, cuz to be partners for more years than anyone can imagine is a greater feet than some straight ppl can pull off. So I say we should all mind our business and step back and let them be.

I was raised a JW (disfellowshipped in 1982), but I will not deny that homosexuals can have as deep a love as heterosexual, but there is far more to this problem than the rights on one sexual orientation.
There are now at least six recognized sexual orientations, including the attraction to children. Do we create a special recognition for homosexuals, while denying it to all the other sexual orientations? That would be like granting voting rights to blacks, but denying it to anyone not of African and European descent.
Should a bisexual person be denied the love of commitment of both a man and a woman? Should the farmer be allowed to marry his favorite cow? What of a person attracted to the dead? Also, an asexual, should they be denied the benefits of married persons, simply because they are not attracted to either sex?
How far do we go in protecting the right to marry, and who decides who should be limited and who shouldn't be. If a mother wants her child to marry an adult, so that he/she will be protected and safe, in her view. Should that child be allowed to marry a person of the orientation that makes them attracted to children? Does the government have a greater right to decide than the mother. What if the child wants to marry an adult. We grant them the right to have an abortion, than why not marriage?
I know this is not the answer you want, but it is the best I can give. The nature of our society is changing, so how far should it change, and who decides when we have reached that limit?

I do not agree with same sex marriages.
Marriage is a holy union between a man and a woman.

Honestly, as a straight Christian woman, I don't think it's wrong at all. God did not intend man and woman to be together and that's it, he intended for all of us to love one another and not judge. We should all have the right to live our lives as we choose,as long as we're not hurting anyone in the process. Live and let live.

There can't be same sex marriages becasue the defination of a marriage is a holy and legal agreement between a man and a woman.
Why people think they can change the defination of such an institution is beyond me! Not the mention the moral issues.

I think they should be able to be together, but I think they should keep homosexual marriage out of the church... due to the fact that it is deliberate insubordination to their God. However, I think it should be ordained by the state as to not infringe upon the church.
For gays being together... against gay marriage...
it's the only way that would work best in our America.

i could care less, its like a double edge blade topic, you can't say its wrong but you can decide it isn't right for you.. there was a man who was called king of kings and they brought an adulturer and ask what shall they do with the adulturer, the man replied "who is without sin throw the first stone"
