By the way, "Because the bible says so" is not a logical reason. Don't give me some religious rant

I've never heard a single logical reason yet. (maybe because there isn't one) =)

By the way, I live in Canada where same sex marriages are allowed =)

There is no logical reason to be against same-sex marriage. What the neighbors do in their bedroom and who they marry is nobody's business unless they're marrying an animal, a child, or a terrorist.

Marriage can be either a civil union, a religious one or both. Taken as a civil union, there is absolutely no reason to be against a same sex marriage. As a religious union, that is up to the individual religion.
Marriage confers tax breaks, inheritance rights and health benefits and rights. This is why many gays feel like 2nd class citizens. They are denied these rights and privileges that are granted to all straight couples. It is like being told that their love for their partner is not as good as someone else's.
And the the "lady" who said the rear is for exit only because it is a waste disposal, I can only ask on which side do you urinate? Urine is a waste material also.

Marriage is a union between a man and a woman. In marriage, the couple engage in sex. A woman's vagina is meant to be penetrated by a male. A male's penis is meant to be inserted into the vagina. The booty is for getting rid of waste, so it should have an exit sign on it. That is why same sex marriages are not logical. It disturbs the natural order of things. Have you ever seen two female dogs having sex?

There is no logical reason. I'm a Christian & I know God made us all. I would be devasted if I couldn't have married my high school sweetheart. So if someone claims to give you a logical reason they're wrong. The reason I put that I'm a Christian is because I don't want people to think that we are all holy rollers quoting the Bible.

They're right if you don't accept the Bible as truth, then there is no "logical" reason. I'm a Christian, but im not sure if im for or against gay marriage. Wierd eh?

Well, let's go through all the so-called "logical" reasons why gays shouldn't get married, that are really just a bunch of b.s.
1) Gays cannot procreate or have babies.
NEITHER CAN INFERTILE COUPLES,OR SINGLE MOTHERS,OR ELDERLY COUPLES. BESIDES,I KNOW A LOT OF STRAIGHT COUPLES THAT DO NOT WANT KIDS, SO SHOULD WE DENY THEM FROM GETTING MARRIED?BESIDES, WHO GETS MARRIED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF HAVING CHILDREN ANYWAY? MOST COUPLES WANT TO MARRY BECAUSE THEY LOVE ONE ANOTHER, SO THEY CAN SPEND THE REST OF THEIR LIVES TOGETHER,AND TO MAKE IT LEGAL IN ADDITION TO STARTING A FAMILY.
2)Gays cannot have long lasting relationships, and they sleep around a lot.
THE DIVORCE WAS CREATED BECAUSE OF STRAIGHT PEOPLE,NOT GAYS. AND AS FAR AS GAYS CHEATING A LOT, IF ONLY 10% OF THE POPULATION IS GAY,THEN MOST OF THE CHEATING DONE IS DONE BY STRAIGHT PEOPLE.
3)Gays getting married will lessen or change straight marriage, or "traditional" family.
IT 2 MEN GET MARRIED OR 2 WOMEN GET MARRIED, WON'T GEORGE AND LAURA BUSH STILL BE MARRIED? WON'T J.LO STILL BE MARRIED TO WHOMEVER SHE IS MARRIED TO AT THE TIME( I BELIEVE HUBBY # 3)? AND MY GRANDPARENTS WILL STILL BE MARRIED. SO,LETTING GAYS MARRIED WILL CHANGE NOTHING ABOUT STRAIGHT MARRIAGE. AND SINCE A MARRIAGE STILL INVOLVES TWO ADULTS,IT WILL STILL BE TRADITIONAL.
4) If we allow gays to get married, people wll start wanting to marry children,animals, and dead people.
ANYONE WHO WANTS TO MARRY A CHILD,ANIMAL,OR DEAD PERSON IS REALLY ILL. BEING GAY AND WANTING TO GET MARRIED HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH KIDS,OR ANIMALS, BUT WANTING TO MAKE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TWO CONSENTING ADULTS LEGAL AND TO ULTIMATELY SHOW YOUR LOVE TO ANOTHER PERSON.
BUT WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT WANT GAYS TO GET MARRIED NOT OR ANY LOGICAL REASONS, BUT BASED ON THEIR OWN PERSONAL BELIEFS. AND REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS, AND WHETHER OR NOT IT BECOMES LEGAL FOR GAYS TO GET MARRIED, IT WILL NOT STOP OR DEFER GAYS FROM WELL.....BEING GAY. THERE WILL GAYS ON EARTH UNTIL THE END OF TIME, SO THEY MIGHT AS WELL BE ALLOWED TO GET MARRIED AND SUFFER LIKE EVERY OTHER MARRIED COUPLE :)
