Gay Marriage Should Be Legal:
It is against the law to discriminate based on race, age, or gender.
Some people believe that homosexuality is wrong and therefore, gays should not be allowed to get marriage.
But then, some people believe the moon is made cheese. That doesn't mean they're right.
Some people believe if marriage is love, then people should be allowed to marry their pets, children, siblings, or multiple partners at the same time.
But pets and children can't give consent, siblings can produce birth defects, and marriage is also about monogamy, not polygamy.
Whether you believe homosexuality is right or the aliens from the planet Bandark visit you at might, you are entitled to those beliefs.
You are not, however, allowed to revoke someones rights based solely on those beliefs.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Mince words all you want on whether or not it should be called marriage, but marriage is essentially a promise to the other person that you will be there for them for the rest of your life. The tax breaks and benefits for married couples are for just that: incentive to pair up and support one another, preventing one another from falling into the pile depending on Social Security.
Homosexuals are not more promiscuous than straight people and allowing gay marriage will not cause friends to get hitched just to reap the benefits. People aren't that stupid and divorce costs a lot.
If gay marriage is wrong based on the fact that they can't have children, what about the millions of married couples who won't have children or are sterile? Are their marriages shams?
It's blind to think that marriage serves only "for children". It's original purpose was to make a committment to the other person so they would be secure in having children because the chance of survival was higher with both parents to care for them. Is it not also so that the other person has security in a life-long partner?

Firs question in relation to the issue is will your vote be swung my way and i look for a Yahoo support in acceptable formats as valid. Now if the prevailing belief is that "god"frowns on the matter then there is a strange not strong opposing force. Again the recorded version of where opposer to such wedlock are defending their position is biblical & very comical in deceptive wording. I cannot to be clear see the reason to oppose it. It is, as I see said, "does not affect you or me" but what it has affected is the principal of procreation in the impression of the developing minds. Making that clear to the observers can stabilize the rebellion to the opposite sex. Pleasures in life is one thing but principles is the prevailing and again to be clear not the place of "gods" or law to deny the social benefits to anyone. the "CONSTITUTION" clearly did not as the founders presented it , differentiate gender as the exception to the statement "WITH EQUAL RIGHTS AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!" I await your approval. !~CHANT~A~SEALLAH~!

Gay Marriage is nothing more than a 'wedge' issue that politico's use to sway votes
Gay marriage should be encouraged and rewarded

Gay marriage doesn't affect my marriage, and it doesn't affect your marriage, so what is the problem?
