Personally I am totally for gay marriage. I am bisexual myself. I would just like to know why some people would be against it.

Since there are civil benefits to marriage, morally, it must be open to all.
no one has a monopoly on marriage - certainly no one religion - although religious institutions do have the right to set their own internal rules, they should not be in a position to forbid others to do so.

I to think agree with you on the whole gay marriage thing. If the two people love each other then no-one should have a problem with that. And some people are against it because they think the whole concept is nasty.Some people were raised in a certain household and told that being bisexual was not the way to go. And some people i have to say are gay and don't want to come out of the closet and feel intimidated when other people do.

I am definitely for gay marriage. There are two aspects, and I have wrestled with my thoughts on one:
1) The socio-economic benefits of some form of civil union (tax, survivor-ship, etc.) should be available to all citizens, gay and straight. Since it is my belief that people are born as they are, anything less would be discrimination. I have never wavered on this belief.
2) The term "marriage" has certain religious associates which typically support a particular belief system (Christianity). If, therefore, Christianity is incompatible with homosexuality, then the institution of marriage should be unavailable to homosexuals. However, I am gay and I am a Christian and despite certain references (taken out of context) in the King James translation of Leviticus, I believe the two are not mutually exclusive. So therefore, so I believe in Gay Marriage and not just Gay Civil Unions/Life Partnerships, etc.

I'm for it. I'm not gay though, but I believe that they should have equal rights as any other type of marriage. I do not know why people are so bothered. They should mind their own business. The main thing against gay marriage is church stuff, but you can't miss church and state. On top of that, being gay is not a choice most can't help it. It has been proven that being gay is more psychological. So many other animals also freak people from their own gender too, it's not just humans.

My personal feelings towards Gay marriage is that i am 100% for it.. if this country truly follows the constitution then there is no reason it should illegal... equallity for all... I heard a quote somewhere (i do not remember where) that said what does it matter to some farmer in the country if two guys get married in a different state... and... If you don't like gay marriage don't have one!!!

For.. Human constitutional rights should be for all human and not the ones with enough money to keep it to themselves
like A bill of rights can be a statement of certain rights that may be guaranteed to citizens or residents of a society, legal jurisdiction, or nation-state; or an enumeration of rights they would like to have or believe they ought to have. In some jurisdictions, a bill of rights is included in the constitution or Basic Law of that nation-state. When embedded in a constitution, such a bill can prescribe the limits of power the government has to intervene in the lives of its citizens.
and
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Everytime Gay marrage is blocked it breaks the law. I wish someone would sue the powers that be and force them to uphold the laws they said they would. the us constitutional rights
also gays dont make gays. I dont know any gay male or woman that did not have a mom and dad.
Gays dont go after childeren, straight males do. But we get blamed for it like we made the man do it or something.
We love and care for kids and many of us would die to save a child from harm. Not put them in its way

totally for it. if 2 consenting, unrelated people love each other and are committed to each other, it shouldn't matter what their gender, race, religion or culture is. "civil unions" is just separate, but not equal segregation. I am in a happy, long-term committed relationship. we are registered domestic partners, and have had a commitment ceremony, but, we're still not "legal." we just want the same (not special rights) rights and legal benefits as any other American does.

If two people love each other and wish to be married and spend the rest of their lives together, why not? I am all for it, and I'm not gay.

I have mixed feelings on this, but I tend to lean more towards against, and I am a member of the gay community. Let me explain why I feel this way.
First of all, in the GLBT fight for equality, we have always had to "prove" ourselves to the heterosexual world to get the advantages we've gotten up to today. We haven't had to show the heteros that we are just equal, we've had to be BETTER. Only this gets their attention. You gotta admit, in gay culture, we are better in regards to fashion, design, art, theatre, entertainment, ect..
The same thing applies to GLBT marriages. We're going to not have to show the majority that we are equal, we have to be able to do it BETTER. That's the ONLY way we ever get recognition. And, to this point, I don't think GLBT people have better relationships than heterosexuals. Actually, I think a lot of GLBT relationships I see tend to be very fickle and superficial, and many don't last long. As soon as we get the right to marry, we will be examined by the heteros under a strict magnifying glass, observing every minute detail, just waiting for us to f**k it up. And as soon as we do, you know they're going to be like "I told you so". And I don't think ANY one in the GLBT community wants that. So..until we can PROVE we can do it better, I think it's best to leave things the way they are. It's sad that I think like this, and I'm a member of the GLBT community myself, but sadly, it's the truth, and many of you know it.

For.
There is no exclusive tie with religion for marriage.
Procreation is not a requirement to "validate" marriage.
To term them "civil unions" is to create segregation. Separate but Equal is Unconstitutional.
