Personally, I think legalizing it is a good idea. Why stand in the way of love and domestic bliss? For that matter, why limit marriage to only two people? Why not allow poly-marriage as well? Divorce might be a problem; but most reasons for divorce can be resolved by adding another spouse or two.

I don't think it would be a sin if legislatures chose to make it legal. But sin has already been perpetrated in Massachusetts. Because the judges on the state's highest court lied about how and why they were making gay marriage legal ... per already existing law.
Lying is a sin.

No gay marriage is not a sin, homosexuals have the same human desires and ambitions for their life as heterosexuals!
People should mind their own business and if any thing be happy for others who find a soul mate regardless of gender.
My only issue, if a gay couple want to be married under a particular religion eg under the catholic church, the couple needs to understand that this is something that this institution does not accept. Why would you want your relationship to be recognised from such an institution (and thats all it is and Institution) anyways!

No but i think the divorce rate would go up more. the moral issue behind weather gay marriage is a sin or not isn't for me to determine, it is for the gay person who married someone of the same sex to work out with his/her own god.
I say the divorce rate will increase because people will start getting married just because they can, realize they don't really want to spend the rest of their lives together, and seperate. just like young heterosexual people do.
have a nice day

Of course not. Law and religion are not related, anyway I don't believe that gay marriage is a sin.
It is stupid not to legalize gay marriage.

I don't think it is a sin, but that is just my opinion. Honestly, my opinion really doesn't count on this, and neither does anyone else's, except for the two people involved. Who am I to tell two consenting adults that they can't get married? That's absurd.

I don't care as long as they don't make a big deal out of it. If they kept to themseves I wouldn't mind but they are out there advertising that gayness is okay and being gay is okay.

no. people should go after whatever makes them happy.
those who consider it to be a sin, clearly won't be going out and involving themselves with it, so they shouldnt care about what will not affect them

The practice of homosexuality is destructive to the human soul. God makes it clear that homosexuality is a sin (Leviticus 18:22; 20:13; Romans 1:26–27; 1 Corinthians 6:9; Jude 1:7; 1 Timothy 1:10; Revelation 21:8). Supporting gay marriage is a sin because it means to support homosexuality and the perversion of Holy Matrimony. If a nation legalizes gay marriage, that nation will be cursed.
Homosexuality is caused by iniquity. Iniquities (tendencies that cause one to sin) pass down the generation line (Numbers 14:18). When one accepts Lord Jesus as their Saviour, God forgives their sins and removes their iniquities (evil tendencies) in the subsequent transformation process which makes one more and more like Christ.
2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Hebrews 9:12-14
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Titus 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
After genuinely accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour, ALL sinners (those who practice homosexuality, alcoholics, liars, drug addicts, fornicators etc.) will be saved and transformed. Each believer is cleansed by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and receives the infilling of the Holy Spirit who renews them.
REDEMPTION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH
Because mankind is incapable of meeting God’s standard of perfection necessary to abide in God’s presence (Romans 3:19-20,23), God sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the total debt for the believer’s sins and mercifully credits to his account Christ’s righteousness (Romans 3:21-28,5:1-11; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21). Jesus’ gracious act of atonement was complete and covers all sin (Colossians 2:13-14; 1 John 1:9). Salvation is not based on good deeds but according to the mercy of God (Titus 3:4-5). Believers are justified by faith; it is a gift by God’s grace (Romans 4:3-8; Ephesians 2:8-9). A true, living faith will result in a desire to live a holy, loving life of good works (Ephesians 2:10; Galatians 5:6; James 2:14-26), but failure to be absolutely successful at righteous living does not negate the believer’s justified status.
If you sincerely say this prayer, your sins will be washed away, you will be redeemed to God, be saved from eternal torment and inherit the Kingdom of God:
"Dear Jesus,
I am a sinner.
I repent of my sins.
Please forgive me and save me by your shed blood;
come into my heart.
I want to receive you as my own personal Lord and Savior.
Amen"
