Has it occured to you that there's a lot of kids out there who are stuck in foster homes and institutions who would love to have a forever home, and gay and lesbian couples who would not only love to have kids but who would be good parents? When you adopt a child, you are JUST as legally responsible for that child as any biological parents would be. And because gays don't have to worry about contraceptive "accidents", any kids they have are kids they WANT and are able to support.
Has it occured to you that the tax break isn't the only benefit of marriage? A husband is his wife's next of kin, and vice versa. He can make medical decisions for her if she's unable to make them for herself, he can inherit the things which they earned together, he can share his health insurance (if any) with her.
As for the argument that the children of gays are going to be confused by a lack of role models of both genders, there have been studies of children raised by gays and lesbians. They're no more likely to be homosexual themselves than any other kids (although when they are, they don't have as much trauma about their orientation as most children raised by heterosexuals). And they tend to be just as well-socialized, mentally healthy and happy as any other kids.

Noone has to look very far to realize that the best thing for a child is not always the birth parents, or even both parents. Many heterosexual couples MAKE kids but don't take care of them. If there are people out there willing to take care of these unwanted children -- that remember heterosexual couples created and dumped -- then why shouldn't homosexual couples be allowed to care for them. Children need love, not necessarily mom and dad.
Marriage isn't about creating children. If that was the case, then what about barren women or sterile men? Marrriage is a union that is legally recognized so that the couple can make legal decisions for one another. Gay people do not want to marry to get tax breaks or whatever, they want to marry to solidify their relationships. Personally, I believe all marriage should be banned because it seems it has gotten to the point where people are marrying just to throw a party or because there is nothing better to do. Marriage is no longer about the committment, it is about the wedding. Couples no longer know how to be monogamous, so why even bother getting married?

maximum conservatives help criminal protections for gay couples even though in the event that they disagree that the courting could be defined as though it have been comparable to a heterosexual courting because of the fact basically placed one courting can convey new existence and the different is often sterile. Marriage between a guy and a women people replaced into certainly created for the income of toddlers and the subsequent era, that's additionally why rules and regulations reaping rewards married couple got here into being.

Look take all the religious stuff out of it. If Church's don't wnat to perform same sex marriages that is quite all right and no one is proposing they be forced to (even if they could be in the USA).
But legally and civilly all a marriage is is a "civil union" It recognizes a relationship that exists within society where two people own property together and raise a family. Like it or not these realtionships exist in our society between same sex couples and this is not going to stop.
The law needs to recongize the reality. I suppose we can play word games, like we love so much to do these days, and call them civil unions. It really dosen't matter. There is such a thing and to ignore it is just stupid. The moral poo poo has nothing to do with it.

There is a difference between Hate and Morality. If GOD wanted man 2b w. man and woman with woman ...than it would have been that way...don't get me wrong I don't want anyone to think I hate them, not at all I respect their desitions and i have plenty of friends that chose that life style and they know how i feel about it FULLY and they respect me just the same.
I don't support Gay marriage and i understand that you want to but something inside you doesn't I think nowadays it is difficult to do or say the right thing without pissing someone off and if they don't respect your desitions than they needn't your attention. I don't agree that they should have the right to adobt that would just be enlarging a problem ...they need help it is all in their head.

I know that the creator didn't intend on gays. Why? Two men having sex? Where is the organ to receive? Two women? Where is the organ to give? Truth is, it's a slap in God's face.
So, gay marriage is not something God is going to bless or approve of.
People don't understand that hell is real and waiting. People don't understand right and wrong any more.

Go with what you believe deep down and don't compromise just to be politicly correct. A lot of gays are against gay marriage too, so don't feel bad.

Gay marriage is sick, against nature, against God, against common sense, against everything we know to be decent and good. It is also anti human life because two gays cannot procreate. Other than that I can't understand all the waffle you are sprouting sorry mate. Are you a wannabe poet?
