I do not think our government needs to decide this.
It is a FREE country right?

It sure is taking long enough for our government to catch up with their constituents.
I am straight, but I don't think that is a decision that should be made by my government. Why should they decide who I fall in love with? That is none of their d@mn business.
If marriage should be decided based on your religious ideals, why don't we give the word marriage to churches, and leave the government to issue civil unions to all couples?

The fact is that our government has support hetro marriages. If you think the government should not be in that business, then it is consistent to say it should not be involved in gay marriages. However, if the government is going to give straight married couples benefits for being married, then gays should have the same benefits.

I'm not free to legally marry the love of my life, so apparently we do.
I salute them, but I'll say the same thing I said about Mass. I'm not moving.

I agree with you, but "free" does not not mean free in America. I think they used free to sound good to everyone who wants to believe that we are progressive and a liberal country.......its embaressing how conservative we are compared to the rest of the world.

And you think they have a clue?
I can't believe we are living in a time when we don't know if the relationship between two men should be called marriage.
God help us! The gay lobby and the leftist media is killing every last moral fiber left in this country.

Marriage is between a male and a female.
Why don't they figure out a new word for their union.

free to do what you want, but you forgot we're a democracy and only 10% of population are gay, so straight people kick homo butt any day
