I wonder where people get off thinking they have the right to regulate who people can and can't love and marry. I'm not gay but I would never presume to think that I have to right to tell others that they cannot marry the person they love because they're the "wrong" gender.

I fully support it. 100% pro-gay marriage. Legal marriage has NOTHING to do with your religion, it is a court document that carries with it certain legal rights and responsibilities. If your religion is against gay marriage, then they don't have to perform the ceremonies. But the government has NO business denying two consenting adults the right to marry. End of story.

The problem is not the marriage, the problem is that people hate to see others have what they cannot. A happy marriage has nothing to do with gender...it has to do with commitment. If you cannot commit then you cannot judge others love and lifestyles. Besides never judge because all you straight people who are SO homophobic might just end up with all your children being gay or lesbian....plus there is always one gay family member....brother, sister, uncle, aunt, cousin, or parents.....God works in mysterious ways!!!! :)

I'm fine with two mature adults consenting to be married.
I've always been mystified as to how anyone could consider it an attack on marriage... do the fundies think that us straight people will have to settle with civil unions while gay people get to be married in the future? The horrors. Yeesh.
I'm pagan, btw.

I would not call it a marriage as that is what God callsthe naturalunion between a man and wife.Male and female.However, I have no problem with civil unions, the right to cover your lifepartner with insurance, or bequeath to them your possessions upon death,etc. I think what someone does in their own bedrooom is their own business and I do not wish to be invited in to validate it whether it is same sex or different sex. I am sad that homosexuals get put down and treated unfairly but I think some of that stems from certain ones who feel they have to push my nose in it like they would a dog's nose into it's own poo. I am doing nothing wrong by saying I think it is wrong according to the bible as well as my personal belief. But by the same token, I have no problem saying I think cheating, stealing, killing, etc. are wrong as well. I simply reiterate....do not ask me to laud anyone's sexual preference and I won't be forced to say something negative about it.

I think it should be legalized. Other societies/countries that have allowed gay marriage seem to be doing fine.

Let them have it. What's so horribly wrong and repulsive about two people being completely and utterly in love and commited to each other for the rest of their lives?

Marriage for all, or marriage for none
If Gays can't marry?
Straights can't marry!
Pure and simple.

I figure gays can't make any bigger mess of the institution of marriage than straight people have. I'm Pagan.
