Gays want to get married very much, but esp. straight males dont want marriage with females. If possible, I think they would never get married!

Straight men tend to have this fear of commitment. The word MARRIAGE scares many off. While gay men , once they find the one they believe is "it" for him, has a hightly strong sense to make the bond legal. Some say gay men love more passionately and more intense.

It's not that gay men want to marry more than straight ones. I think people have a fear of commitment whatever/whoever they are. The gays are fighting for the right to get married as their BASIC human right, not just because they want it more than straight people. I highly doubt every gay person out there would be rushing to the altar if and when gay marriage is allowed, since some of us can't even get a date. I personally don't believe in marriage, period but I respect personal choice and basic human rights which I believe marriage for all is fundamental to it.

well is has nothing to do with what you think it does, If me & my partner could get married we could get tax breaks, If he was hurt badly & dieing in the hospital I could not see him before he died becuase I'm not immedit family, but If we were married I could. If we were married I could put him on my insurance @ work or vice versa. Also anything my partner owns if he dies I get nothing. There are tons of reasons for marriage. you have to look @ the legal stand point. The people who want to get married are already living together as a couple living a married life, just without the legal rights or paper.
So it's not really so much single gay guys sitting around wanting to get married it's the couple that already live that life but want all the perks that go with it.

Because when my husband was sick and dying, if his family hadn't loved me as much as they did, all they had to do was say to the doctors, "keep him away and out of our sons room." And the more than $100,000 in medical bills I had paid on him would have meant NOTHING. The fact that we had a home together would have meant NOTHING. He left his life insurance in my name, so there was nothing anyone could do, however EVERYTHING ELSE could have been taken away from me. ALL OF IT, but his parents loved me and knew that I loved him as much as they did, if not more. They treated me like a son and that's why they are still my family to this day. That's why I'm going to put "our" neice through college even though, technically were not related, because SHE IS MY FAMILY AND ALWAYS WILL BE. So, you see. It truly is, all about LOVE and we just want our rights the same that everyone else gets.
Besides, marriage isn't a religious right, its a State and Government right, all the rewards, rights and issuances come from the governments that we want. I could not care less what the churches say.

Gay Men want to marry for the same reasons that most people want to marry as an expression of love and commitment as well as to legally protect their assets for each other.

If there's one thing I've noticed about gay men is that with having to conquer their fear of society accepting them, they also conquer their fear of commitment. So, they're free to express their actual "love" for their partner insofar that they want what is denied to them, the legal recognition of that loving relationship.
Not to mention the legal protections such recognition would provide to them.

You are missing the point here.
It's not about wanting to get married.
It's about equal rights.
You pay the same taxes,have to do your duties.then why not get the same rights?
And some of them really want to get married:benefits and all.

because chicks are psycho nutbags. Gay men don't have to deal with them, and straight men -- and you said it -- don't want to deal with them for the long term either.
