Honestly people, why do we(exculding myself) hate gays so much that we can't allow them to have the right to marry? Why would you want to take away that privelage to profess ones love? Some people argue same-sex marriage would threaten the institution of marriage. How, by allowing them to marry and be happy? Some also argue that its against the religion. Hello, freedom of religion, first amendment. It could also mean freedom FROM religion. So stop talking biblical crap about it. Its love and it should be known and embraced! Okay, I'm randomly ranting now.

Gays are discriminated against because they are different from the "norm."
If gays are allowed to marry then it would open the doors to all types of marriages. Polygamy, beastiality, some people would want to marry objects such as a car or money. Once the flood gates are open, where do you draw the line?

Just a question for the comment before that said "more gays get married = more divorces":
What makes you think that if more gays get married there will be more divorces? Heterosexual couples have a divorce rate of about 60%... if anything, gay couples will have the same rate, although the rate of gay divorces would probably be lower than the rate of straight divorces. Because it's so much harder for gays to be in an official (married) relationship, once they get the opportunity, they aren't likely to abuse it like many straight couples do. You see people like Britney Spears and Nicky Hilton, who get married one night and have it annuled the next... THEY are the ones causing problems... not gays. People like you are the reason questions like this are asked.

Gay people are no different from you or me - they made their choice and have to deal with those who disapprove. Love your neighbor and love your enemy as you love yourself - very difficult to do in today's world. Let them marry - so what, there will be consequences. We live in a new Roman Empire where anything goes - just try to love your neighbors and enemies like yourselves. Many early Christians died terrible deaths for professing such a strong and simple faith....

Same reason anyone else is discriminated. They're different. People don't want their happy perfect lives disrupted and they don't know how these different people will behave. The easiest way for those people to make sure nothing changes is to make fun and discriminate in hopes it will shut the differents down.

to me the reason is that it is something abnormal, out of the ordinary, something that is not supposed to be, think about it this way opposites attract, positive and negative charges attract, positve and negative atom particles attract, you will never see a 2 positive things in nature attract or vice versa, so imho its abnormal besides thinking about it, it would create more problems in our already messed up society, more gays get married = increase in rate of divorces which reflets badly on our society compared to other countries. and please dont call a holy book crap because thats offensive, and not only does the bible mension that it is abnormal but almost every other holy book i can think of.

Because they are an easy target, and they usually will not defend themselves in fights, either physically, or verbally.
