There's no reason not to, beyond selfishness, self-righteousness, and bigotry. For those believe that marriage needs "protecting" from those that actually value it, save all the nonsense about the "sanctity of marriage" for those standing in line at the Vegas wedding chapels; they'll have more legal rights and obligations during their week-long "marriages" than gay couples that have been together for decades. And, the "marriage is about procreation" rhetoric for when your post-menopausal mother remarries; she's probably taking a still-fertile male out of circulation, in defiance of God's Word. Be sure to point out as well that remarriage constitutes adultery, according the Bible, and that she'll burn in Hell for it. The "a child needs a mommy AND a daddy" line will go over very nicely when you do your Christian duty by visiting with heroin-addicted and AIDS-infected children condemned to grow up in foster care, at the expense of the state (i.e. you) instead of in a permanent home with two loving parents.

Yes.
It's a legal issue only, so once you take religion out of it you see there's no reason not to. Heck even the people that argue that it's some form of institution and that it'll lessen heterosexual marriage just sound insecure about their marriages. I mean just because I'm gay, and I live on a street full of mostly heterosexuals, doesn't mean I lessen the street, in fact I contribute to it.
It's time to stop treating people like second class citizens. If you let religion run your government, then you're no better than the Taliban.

If gays getting married tarnishes the sanctity of marriage and should be illegal then when a really young hot chick marries a really old rich dude, that should be illegal too because that pretty much tarnishes the sanctity of marriage just as much.

Yes I do believe that they should, but it shouldn't be called a marriage, it should be a union. Marriage is what churches do, and churches are private sectors of our country that have their own beliefs. I believe that if you truly love the other person that you should be together forever, with some sort of union. Gays are people to and deserve the same rights everyone else have, but because the religion sector of it denounces gays, it would have to be called or preformed in another matter

Yes. Equal rights under the law. Love is love.

yes. because if 2 people of the same gender marry it should have in no way shape or form any affect on any other person in the world.
and it will have nothing to do with you or any other person that thinks otherwise so what harm is it to you?

I don't mind homosexual relationships but I think somewhere someone must draw the line. Marriage is for two people, a female and male who love each other and want to have a family...the natural way. So no, I don't think gays should be allowed to get married.

Yes they should be allowed to get married, and have equal rights. Otherwise it is discrimination based on sexual orientation.
