Because everyone deserves their soulmate even if they happen to be the same gender. I also believe that people should be alowwed to be together and not be judged

Forget everyone who bashed the gay marriage OK I'm gay and i feel as though we should be able to be married to whomever we feel like being married to weather it be male and male or female and female we are all hum beings and we should not be judged by the person we are married to or which sex it is but rather by something more important like how we treat others and our personalities. It is childish and shallow for us to sit here and tell people that they cant marry the same sex because it isn't in the bible or holy like. GOD also said cast judgment upon no one unless u have no imperfections and i don't believe anyone of u casting judgment against it or throwing stones at it are imperfect, half of u are gay yourselves and just afraid to come out, or unhappy because of the way u look and wanna take it out on others, or have children out of wedlock, or many other sins i could go on for days and weeks about them. But you all should quit judging us and start worrying about more important things like why your government is so crappy and we've been in war for years to find that we are there for no reason at all. That seems to be more important than just bashing a human because of the person they choose to be with.

Loser: Thank you. God is the Judge and will have the last say, however, there are those who consistently wish to speak for God.
Z-Cat: Some people can’t multiply if they are of the opposite sex. Be fruitful and multiply can mean to be so in different ways. Teach love, show love, be love, and receive love. If you teach someone that – you are being fruitful and multiplying.
Dude84 & Captain howdy – People also thought the same about interracial marriage. If being with a person of the same gender is not for you then it’s not for you. You weren’t wired to love another man or woman.
Mom of 4: That’s a vanilla way of having sex. Be creative. Wow its funny to me when people mention GLBT persons, their good Christian minds go straight to sex – there is so much more to us than who we have a serious, loving sexual relationship with. Since some people are so hot on family values, I think there should be a constitutional amendment and state bans on divorce.
Beautifulpersona: You said it! I believe one of the Ten is “thou shalt not lie” and our government has been lying since day one. At least there are some of us GLBT people who are living the TRUTH of our lives instead of marrying somebody (lying) for the benefit of others.
Silvatungfox: Sorry to hear of your loss. That must have been a very trying and traumatic time for you. I’ve heard horror stories where one partner has died and family they haven’t had contact with for years show up and want to take things they feel should be long to them. That doesn’t happen in heterosexual relationships. We’re looking at purchasing a home and we know we have to have legal paper work in place so that neither of our families can come in and attempt to take what we have built together. Marriage really isn’t biblical. If you read the old Testament men had several wives and as they collected wives they also collected cattle from the father-in-law. Marriage was about whoever had the most toys were the richest and love had nothing to do with it. If some denominations don’t want to perform same-sex holy unions there are some that will; i.e. MCC, Unity Fellowship, UCC and a few others. Great post

The real argument fro making gay marriage legal has more to do with giving the same rights (not special rights) to people who mate with the same sex as those who mate with the opposite sex.
It is a legal not a moral issue. When my lover of 10 years died, I had to fight the state of Nevada to release her body to me for burial. Everyday homophobic parents/siblings take everything away from a surviving partner. (It does not matter that the couple lived together a year or 50 years... the surviving partner has no rights unless there have been expensive legal procedures taken.)
When they make straight people go through all that then maybe I will stop trying to legalize gay marriage.
To quote a heterosexual politician: (George McGovern) "I am very old fashioned when it comes to marriage. I figure if two people are going to live together, make their lives together and sleep together, they ought to get married."
God (for those Christian knee-jerk fundies here) did not create marriage. Marriage was and is a legal binding of people together. Yes there is a religious aspect more often than not. Do you not recognize a marriage if someone is not Christian? Are all Buddhists, Atheists, Pagans, Wiccans, followers of the Tao and Jews not allowed the contract of marriage? Perhaps if we become a religion, then we would be able to marry under the freedom of religion clauses.

@Z-cat
Because our world is dying right now. Yeah. That's why so few of those good 'ole Christians are adopting the leftover children we already have. It's like breeding your dogs when there are millions dying and suffering. We can't even take care of the ones we have, and we want MORE? I'm not saying "Don't have children," I'm saying "Use your brain."
From the point of view of a straight girl, I agree with the asker of this question. Eventually, gays will be seen as people and not stereotypes and sinners. It's sad that so few people have realized what love really is. They haven't a clue, do they?

All you who want same sex marriage are trying to change
our traditions of family (one man, one woman, and their
children). If God had wanted families to look different, He
would have created our bodies in such a way that any two
who have sex could have babies, but you note it's just not
that way. Besides, God destroyed Sodom and Gamorrah,
two real towns, because they were practicing homosexuality.
so He has already judged this practice and we normal
citizens do not have to do the judging as it's already been
judged. The Gay Parades are just sickening so if that's what
same sex couples look and act, I'd say it should never be
legalized.

Didn't they just legalize it? And yes, you are right. It does not harm other people either. They only believe its "wrong" because they were brought up that way, and they are afraid to really think about it in fear of a scary little thing called CHANGE.
There is NO logical reason to oppose it. As for all their bibles, if god doesn't want two people of the same sex together, then why did he make them homosexuals? Really, they get no choice.
P.s. I noticed people saying things about how humans' purpose is to reproduce. Well, don't we have enough people on this earth already? Its running out of resources and with all the countries (mainly Asian) that have not undergone demographic transition, how many more people do we need??!? Young girls (and older women too) get pregnant every day, I don't think we'll run out of people soon.

You are absolutely correct. The constitution of the United States is for everyone not just a select few. LL
