Sure, why not? Gays don't choose to be gay, it's the hand God has dealt them, and they have the same right as all of us to be happy & marry the person they love. And no, I am not gay, I just try to be accepting of everyone, regardless of race, social status, religion, or sexuality.

First- why r marriages made legal? - for rights.
Marriage is actually a meeting of hearts not a commercial deal.
Rights become an issue when the hearts are no more together.
thus, legalizing the marriage as a concept itself is based on the possible negative outcome.
There is another angle to legalizing, i.e. - if one of the spouces dies. Here, the rights issue is important.
Thus, the legality removes the need of a written will by either spouces. most of us don't like to write a will. Hence I would say that the legalizing or writting a will is msot important in any marriage to avoid any possible misuse of the relationship.
And then marriage can be between any 2 consented adults of any sex.
I hope the question is answered fully.

Why not?? Is this really a significant (negative) issue for people.
And how does the legal status of a gay relationship constitute being "shoved down someone's throat?"
Gawd!
For cryin' out load, half the HETERO marriages end up in divorce; why shouldn't gays be privy to the same joy and despair that we are? Apparently, we're not doing a very good job at relationships.
And I agree that there are many more issues that ARE significant in this country, that deserve attention and discussion.
Politically, too many people are just like kittens and young children ~ very easily distracted by insignificant things.

Of course they should! I am not gay, but my marriage is not threatened in the slightest by two other people who love each other being married, too. Why should it offend anyone else? If you don't approve, don't go to the wedding, but to deny two people in a stable, loving relationship the same rights as other couples in stable, loving relationships is just not right.
Let's concentrate on our own marriages and make them work, not claim that it's the fault of gays or lesbians being allowed to marry that so many of us fail at marriage. Massachusetts seems to be getting along just fine with married gays, and the same is true of Canada. Giving basic human rights (including the right to marry) to other people in no way diminishes our existing rights. You have to be pretty bigoted or very insecure to say that gays should just stay in the closet because they make you feel uncomfortable. It's their life, their marriage - it's not about you.

If my answer is no, there is no need to explain I guess. All the same, let marriage mean a union of bisexuals only. Union of people of the same sex may be termed by any other name, like living together, for instance, but not marriage. Marriage has multiple objectives, one of which is reproduction. Gay union does not result in offsprings. So if any gay union is excluded from the term marriage, the question of legality or illegality of that union will be irrelevant. And we can let them live in peace in any way they want. We will also be relieved of a problem which doesn't merit any consideration.

It is not me who is the judge on a person being gay. I will never understand how a person can be that way but it is there life. I think they should be able to get married because they can buy a house together, they can have children by either adopting or getting artificially pregnant. I worry a little because of the fact that some of these gay marriages will get way out of hand. I think they should have a private ceremony and not have a wedding like they do the gay parades.

There is no such thing as a Gay marriage! The whole thing of gay unions goes against the principles our country was founded on. We say in god we trust, but we leave it up to men to make these sick decisions to say that a man can unite with another man and a woman with another woman. That is the sickest thing, and if we keep going against the laws and principles of God, we haven't seen anything yet!

Yes. Really, what is the reason of why not?
Who are we to make choices for others? Legalizing gay marriage doesn't mean that you have to take that option, but it means that you are not taking that option away from other people.
If people want to make that choice, what right does anyone have to stop them?

Okay here in America, white people were given the choice to let blacks vote, and they didn't want it. Do you see why it wouldn't be fair to ask a majority to decide the fate of a minority that we can't understand?
My philosophy is that if you're against gay people, gay marriage, etc, DON'T BE GAY!!!!!!!
But for those who are, let them live.
