As long as two people love each I'm ok with it.

I strongly support gay marriage.
I believe two consenting adults should have the right to spend the rest of their lives together with the same rights as any other two consenting adults, regardless of their gender. If a man and a woman can marry, then two men or two women should be able to.
Marriage is not a religious institution, otherwise you would not need to file a marriage certificate through the state. I believe in the seperation of church and state. The church should not tell me who I can love and who I can spend the rest of my life with.
Gay marriage will not take away from straight marriage. Straight marriage has already done that. More than half of all straight married couples end in divorce. How would it take away from straight marriage to allow committed gay couples to have the same choices and same rights?
I believe eventually this issue will be resolved...but not while we have the current administration in government. We need to be patient.

personally, I believe gay marriage is about love 1st and foremost. I think that if it makes someone happy, who is anyone else to judge that? If you look at "marriage" now adays between a man and a woman, it doesnt seem to mean that much to some, they just get married then get divorced , only to do it all over again, taking away from the meaning of it. with this fact in mind I dont understand why the government wants to badly to protect "the sacred meaning of marriage". most glbt couples have been with the same person for years on end and have lives, and homes, and families. If that is not sacred enough to fall under the category or marriage, then nothing does!

Love in any shape and form is a rare thing these days and if you find it I think you should be able to marry that person and spend the rest of your lives with them. I HATE BIGGOTS who sit on there high horse and pass judgement on everyone else. You know your doodoo stinks like the rest of ours and i'm sure in you looked into your closet there would be a few skeletons in there too so who are you to say what is right and wrong?? Furthermore the bible may have come from God originally but MAN wrote it and I can garuntee it isn't exactely what God said. I thought God loved everyone....red and yellow black and white we are precious in his sight.....and all that jazz. Oh and P frickin S how can you call gay people you friends and then in the same breath say you think their life style is wrong...biggots! Man I tell you......

I support homosexual marriage...
I was the Best Maid of Honor ar my friends commitment ceremony... I sincerely hope that one day soon thier union (24 years last February14th) will be recognized by the government as legal... Until that time the government is discriminating based on sexuality...
Unlike many others I do not see allowing homosexual couples to marry as tarnishing my marriage... Conversely I see it as making my marriage all the more brilliant..
As it stands marriage being denied to some citizens makes marriage as a whole discriminatory and thus actually tarnishes it..
I vote for homosexual marriage every election it is on the ballot and will continue to do so until I die or the right to marry is extended to all citizens regardless of sexual orientation...

TO EACH HIS OR HER OWN!! How can ppl talk about same sex marriage and boycotting abortion clinics, when there is a war going on and people are loosing their lives....It seems to me like any issue, but the real issue is being brought up front. I support same sex marriages, If you love a person, that's just who you are in love with. What people do behind closed doors is their business.

I don't have a problem with it. And I don't understand the people who say gay marriage will take away from straight marriage. How would that be? Unless my husband decided he wanted to marry another man-and then we would have bigger problems than if he legally could-gay marriage doesn't affect my marriage.

I think that gay couples should have the same rights as straight couples. Religious views aside, marriage allows tax breaks, hospital visitation rights and finacial protection in case of a divorce/breakup. I think that these freedoms should be extended to gay couples.

I support it- I've studied religion and those that interpreate certain passages as being anti-same-sex couples are reading the document out of its cultural context. Also speaking as a person that grew up in a very violent home- the most healthy relationships that I've seen are same-sex. Too bad I was born straight :-(

First off, to everyone who is "so" against it, you people depress me. I'm a Spirtualist (I don't bind myself to a religion, only to God himself) and God made us all different. Gays don't always choose to be gay. Some of them are BORN that way. They just aren't attracted to women. Gays to do not go to hell, despite what you may think the so called Bible says. Many say, it was written by God, when in fact, we all know it was written by prophets speaking for God. How the hell do we know if what they say was really what God was saying? I can just see God coming down here and saying "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!" God accepts everyone and loves everyone no matter WHAT they're sexual preference. It is not our place to judge and it is CRUEL to judge those who happen to be different than you. It's racism all over again. Gays live and have the same lives as we "straight" people do. The only difference is they are attracted to the same sex. What harm is it going to do you if they marry each other? How does it ruin your life? Seriously, it doesn't. It's none of your business what Gays do with their lives. The only way you are denied going to heaven is if you deny Him at the pearly gates. None of us are perfect, God never intended us to be. We're his children and he expects us to make mistakes along the way. I hate people who are so mean and cruel and say "Gays shouldn't be married, it's against tradition". SCREW TRADITION!!! Tradition was INVENTED by someone, so traditions can be changed. I have a hard time picturing a gay man appearing at the pearly gates and God saying "You loved a man, go to hell". I mean SERIOUSLY people think this through! Doesn't God want us to be loving, forgiving, and accepting of those who are different? God does, why can't we? You people make me sick to my stomach with your close mindedness. I think Gay marriage is perfectly right and okay in the eyes of God. Marriage is about love. Stop speaking for God dammit, he can speak for Himself!

I wish it was a non-issue. I don't care who gets married, as long as they're adults in a solid relationship, united in love, I say good luck! Not very long ago, interracial couple wouldn't have been able to marry...I think it's just a matter of time befor this, too, goes the way of old-time taboos.
