Unequivocally NO! If they chose that life style then so be it, but as far as benefits are concerned out of the question. Societies fall from moral decay and that is a fact, and ours is well on it's way, I do believe all this gay and lesbian stuff is about to blow up in their faces. It is a life style that destroys the vary meaning of marriage between a man and a woman, In my opinion they are an insult to humanity. I believe it is time our religious leaders and government gives these people a loud and clear message that the party is over and will not be condoned by our society.

i think everyone should be treated equally and have the same rights most of gay and lesbian people don't even care about the benefits of marriages they just wanna get married and be together the rest of their lives just like everyone else do and i think that everyone should have the same rights in the end i think that everyone deserves to be happy

Actually they should be given the right to MARRY.
Until you make a LEGAL DISTINCTION between being Married in front of a Judge and being Married in a Church, there is no reason to not allow Same sex couples the right to marry.

i think that they should be able to be married and have the same rights as any other couple that is in love,,,
if they wanna have children people shouldn;t judge them for what they are but whom they are,,
i know a lesbian couple that was together for over 15 years she got hurt and killed and her partner had no rights to say anything,, they loved each other as a married couple but coudn;t prove it,, cause they couldn't be married,,,
they have rights too,,

They already have the ability to share every legal,medical, and financial responsibility that a married couple has..
And that is only right.
But nobody has a right to force me to change part of my culture, (gay marriage) just cause they like the title.

Anybody who finds the person that they want to tell the truth to, and love, and share life with, has earned that right beyond any questionable measure. Nobody should have to die without the chance to shout their love from the mountain top. How awful to try to dictate that privilege!

They should have all the rights that straight people have. I mean, I don't see why some people see them as so different from straight people, because they're just people too. They deserve the rights of every other human being.

Marriage; as stated in the Supreme Court ruling in "Brown v. The Board of Education" case: "SEPERATE BUT EQUAL IS NEVER EQUAL!"
Here's a brief synopsis:
Marriage Rights and Benefits
A few of the legal and practical ways that getting married changes your life.
Whether or not you favor marriage as a social institution, there's no denying that it confers many rights, protections, and benefits -- both legal and practical.
Some of these vary from state to state, but the list typically includes:
Tax Benefits
Filing joint income tax returns with the IRS and state taxing authorities.
Creating a "family partnership" under federal tax laws, which allows you to divide business income among family members.
Estate Planning Benefits
Inheriting a share of your spouse's estate.
Receiving an exemption from both estate taxes and gift taxes for all property you give or leave to your spouse.
Creating life estate trusts that are restricted to married couples, including QTIP trusts, QDOT trusts, and marital deduction trusts.
Obtaining priority if a conservator needs to be appointed for your spouse -- that is, someone to make financial and/or medical decisions on your spouse’s behalf.
Government Benefits
Receiving Social Security, Medicare, and disability benefits for spouses.
Receiving veterans' and military benefits for spouses, such as those for education, medical care, or special loans.
Receiving public assistance benefits.
Employment Benefits
Obtaining insurance benefits through a spouse's employer.
Taking family leave to care for your spouse during an illness.
Receiving wages, workers' compensation, and retirement plan benefits for a deceased spouse.
Taking bereavement leave if your spouse or one of your spouse’s close relatives dies.
Medical Benefits
Visiting your spouse in a hospital intensive care unit or during restricted visiting hours in other parts of a medical facility.
Making medical decisions for your spouse if he or she becomes incapacitated and unable to express wishes for treatment.
Death Benefits
Consenting to after-death examinations and procedures.
Making burial or other final arrangements.
Family Benefits
Filing for stepparent or joint adoption.
Applying for joint foster care rights.
Receiving equitable division of property if you divorce.
Receiving spousal or child support, child custody, and visitation if you divorce.
Housing Benefits
Living in neighborhoods zoned for "families only."
Automatically renewing leases signed by your spouse.
Consumer Benefits
Receiving family rates for health, homeowners', auto, and other types of insurance.
Receiving tuition discounts and permission to use school facilities.
Other consumer discounts and incentives offered only to married couples or families.
Other Legal Benefits and Protections
Suing a third person for wrongful death of your spouse and loss of consortium (loss of intimacy).
Suing a third person for offenses that interfere with the success of your marriage, such as alienation of affection and criminal conversation (these laws are available in only a few states).
Claiming the marital communications privilege, which means a court can’t force you to disclose the contents of confidential communications between you and your spouse during your marriage.
Receiving crime victims' recovery benefits if your spouse is the victim of a crime.
Obtaining domestic violence protection orders.
Obtaining immigration and residency benefits for noncitizen spouse.
Visiting rights in jails and other places where visitors are restricted to immediate family.
