Well, I'm gay. And Belgian. And in a 'gay (lesbian) marriage'. Since about 3 1/2 years in Belgium a same-sex marriage is possible. So after being a couple for 17 years, we got married then.
A normal, legal marriage that is. In my country religious marriage and legal marriage always have been separate things. And to me, that's how it should be.
A marriage is a legal contract between two partners. Who cares what sex partners are? Why shouldn't gay people have the same legal rights in protecting their partner/children legally? Nobody will get harmed by that. Even the children raised in a gay union will benefit. Frequently it's the only parents they've ever known. That can be a happy or unhappy, a wanted or unwanted thing, but it's reality At least they won't be taken away from the only home/parent they know, of one of the partners dies, and get lost into child-care...
America, get religion out of your legal system. It's the only way to rationally consider items like this....

If gays really want the hastle of marriage, I say let them have it. Personally, I would never marry my partner. Tax wise you are much better off if you dont. After all, getting a legal permit that acts as a binding contract to do something that is spiritual and natural seems contrary to me. I am supprized that straight people get married any more. If it were not for the morality that religion dumps on most of us I dont think they would.
Was straight, am gay, now divorced.

Yes. I'm all in favor of civil marriage for anyone and leave the religous marriage stuff to the various religons without governmental involvement.

Yes it should. But marriage is not just a piece of paper. It's a great commitment to be able to make to someone that you love.

Of course! That's like us asking 50 years ago if blacks and whites should be allowed to get married!

Yes! The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals.
