The answer is no. In these days, everyone is trying to be politically correct.
While I am nothing to tell anyone how to live his love life, I do believe the gay marriage is a destructive element to the society and the future, including our kids.
Doesn't it fit better between a man and a woman than a man and a man, or a woman and a woman?

I do believe in gay marriage.
And my position is that it should not happen.
I understand that gay people do not chose to be gay, and they should be free to hold hands and show as much affection towards each other in public as heterosexuals do. It will be weird, for me, and for many people, but I am willing to accept that.
I'm willing to not discriminate against gays, thus allowing a union between them that carries the same rights as marriage does in front of the government.
Marriage is reserved, by definition, for heterosexual partners. To re-define it to be a union between two people who love each other and/or would like to get some rights in front of the government is wrong.
The institution of marriage will partly loose it's value for me, because it includes a subset of the population with which I cannot relate to. This loss of value will make me more likely resort to divorce when my marriage will go through rough times.
Therefore, I'm fighting for equal rights: gay people should, and are allowed to marry to members of the opposite sex, just as heterosexuals are. They also should have the right for civil unions with members of the same sex, just like heterosexuals should have that right.
Equal rights for everyone!!!

What's the difference? As an example, people oppose porn but we know it happens, we can try to stop it, but you can't. You just accept it. As long as it doesn't "directly" affect you, you shouldn't care. Same thing with gay marriage. I don't really care if two men or two women decide to get married. Doesn't affect me at all. And even if I know one of those people, I don't care. It's their choice and that makes them happy.
I'm not gay, but when I was in college, I had a gay friend. As long as he didn't try to hit on me and advance on me, I didn't care. He was still a human and a nice person. That's all I care about.
So, good for those who decide to have a gay marriage.

I support it. I have several gay friends. I don't see what harm it would cause and don't see how it would affect others in anyway. Us heterosexuals haven't done very well with marriage, why not give gay people a chance? If people don't like calling it "marriage" why not give them "civil unions" that would allow the same rights that heterosexual married couples get?

if straight people are allowed to make the mistake of marriage why cant gay people. Its not really anyones business what two people decide to do.
I personally think marriage is stupid but if people want to commit to each other in a ceremony to get a bit of paper then let them.

Yes, I do. As the mother of a gay son I would like to say that I would hope that someday he can have the same rights and privileges that we all do. Let's not mix religion into this debate because I believe God accepts us all even if mere mortals don't.

No. Marriage is the union of a man and a woman before the eyes of God.

Love isn't wrong, humans are. Gay marriage is wrong because corrupts one of the bases of a normal society and the family: matrimony.
Why the people who are in favor of this atrocity haven't stared your question?
Good question, Isn't it?

Gay marriage isn't like the Tooth Fairy or anything. I know for a fact that it exhists, so, yes, I do "believe" in it...
