I get so sick of some of you people using the argument that gays shouldnt be allowed to marry because they cannot reproduce. If that is the case, then heterosexuals who cannot reproduce because of genetic, medical, etc... problems should not be able to marry. Based on the sole argument of reproduction, what is the difference?

If you want to get married you should be allowed to marry any consenting adult. I don't see the harm in two people who love each other and want to share a life together being granted the same rights as any other two people.
The people who argue against marriage between gays based on an inability to produce children should try outlawing marriage for any woman who is past menapause for the very same reason. I think they would meet with some resistance to that sort of thought process.

What are people scared is going to happen?
The Christians say that marriage is a divine institution joining one man and one woman only, and that to allow same sex marriages destroys the sanctity of the marital institution. How can Christians say such things? As if marriage were still intact. They say Marriage is supposed to be between one man and one woman only. If this is a true statement to you, then you are a Bible believing Christian and you must also agree that sex is supposed to happen only between two married people. We all know that there are many Christians who have sex before marriage? The divorce rates among Christians are so high it is ridiculous. How many of us have heard of Christians participating in adultery, pastors addicted to pornography? The institution of marriage was desecrated long before the homosexuals asked for the privilege of marriage. It was desecrated by Christians. It isn't non-Christians preachers that must leave their churches due to extra-marital affairs. Its the Christians.
So Christians should stop trying to tell Homosexuals that they cant get married

Why on earth should two people who love one another and want to devote their lives to each the other not be allowed to get married? Oh because they're of the same sex. What garbage!
That's what I think about that ridiculous argument that marriage is between a man and a woman only. That's Church Dogma and is based on the Church's understanding of homosexuality from (however) many hundreds of years ago.
Marriage, however is a legal status and as such, by denying it to same sex couples, the State is denying a proportion of society the rights afforded the majority of society.

I think you were going to finish off with marriage is sacred. Correct. It is indeed to me too, and I've been in a loving, monogamous Lesbian marriage for 26 going on 27 years now; and the more I look on Y!A, the more I see that there are a great deal of long-term Lesbian relationships here. The longest I've found is 42 years, although I've heard of one over 50 years but I can't verify it. That's a great deal of time, my love. There are many cases of couples with Partnerships in their 15-20 year ranges. We *do* consider ourselves married to our Partners. We love them, are faithful to them and want to be together until we die. To us our relationships are sacred. Blessings.

I see we've already got some of the "it's wrong, immoral, they can't produce children" bigots posting already. why is it wrong for 2 people to love each other? if 2 consenting, unrelated adults love each other, it shouldn't matter what their gender, race, religion or culture is. a committed, monogamous couple should be able to get married.
and FYI to those who claim we can't produce kids, yes....we can and DO! I have many gay/lesbian friends who have biological children...and they are very happy, healthy and well-adjusted.
and to the ignorant who keep equating/comparing us to pedophiles and those into incest and bestiality....grow up! it's not the same thing. try getting an education and doing some research. quit believing in lies, assumptions and generalizing stereotypes. that only makes you look more foolish and even less intelligent.

I think that if someone wants to marry, they should be able to, with all the rights and privileges that entails.

It's immoral, if gays get married, then brothers and sister will want to get married, and people will want to start marrying animals. There is a lot of sick people out there. Men and Woman exist because they were ment to love eachother.
