my point is it seems that many people dont have a problem with homosexual marrige, its just the old people that are affraid of change are the only people holding this nation back. so my question is who here would really go out, besides homosexuals, and help them in there attempt go have equal rights,?

There are till a lot of people opposed to it, in particular the people in power. and the liberal youth complain a lot but the numbers dont show in the polling place.

It's honestly hard enough to mobilize LGBT members to affect positive change. I think 10 years from now gay marriage will be legal in most of the United States. The most likely course of events will be a legalization in the Supreme Court, individual states are unlikely to determine gay marriage as protected under the US Constitution (13th Amendment).

If you hang out on Yahoo Answers long enough you will realize that there are a lot of people who are opposed to gay marriage. And I think that the desire to grant gay people the right to marry should be balanced with concern that this law would not have the support of a majority of people, and forcing a law on a large population that disagrees should be done with caution. You don't want to just drive their bigotry underground, where they just strengthen themselves and their children.

Many people are not against it, I quite agree. But for it to be legalized, don't you think the problems come from the law people, themselves? No law has yet been passed to integrate homosexuals in US. maybe they are afraid that many prejudiced persons will be against that and therefore they are reluctant to go forth.

i'm not gay, but if two people love each other as much as a strait couple do whats the difference, why should it matter? who cares its not like they're forcing you to be gay! also i lived in massachusettes and its legal to marry a person of the same sex there.

It's not legalized because, as Bush has taught us, what the public wants simply doesn't matter.
