I do because we should have a freedom of choice, but I also think the couple doesn't need to be married to live a happy life together.

I support civil unions, a contract the same as but different from a marriage license. All the same legal and implied rights, responsibilities and privilges of a marriage, just different paperwork.
Marriage as an institution predated the laws of most every land, culture and government. Law does not sanction the institution of marriage so much as recognize it. To give a family, any stable and productive family, the license to prosper in our country is to the benefit of everyone. Civil unions can do that without trying to redefine the foundation of anyone's faith / religion. No one gets all they want but everyone wins, after a fashion.

I think everyone should have the right to pay more taxes due to the marriage penalty. And should have the right for one partner to get screwed on social security when retiring. And should have the right to be discriminated against in many things just because of being married. Go for it.

Yes, I think it's ok for gays to get married. Why should just the straight people be miserable? Let the gays in on the infidelity, communication problems, divorce....I say equal oportunity for everyone.

As a straight person - yes. Everyone has the right to enjoy a committed, mutually beneficial relationship sanctified by their church or at the very least, the courts. I would also think it would make getting health insurance or naming your life partner as a non-taxed recipient of your estate in the event of your death.

You ever wonder why Homosexual men are called "Gay" ?
Because they are allways happy, they have no women or ex wives or nagging current wives to deal with. So sure let em get married then they can be just as miserable as the rest of us.

I do but I don't understand why anyone would want to get married. Most heterosexual marriages are miserable and end in divorce.

I do. I'm not gay but I feel that you cant aways help who you fall in love with. If everyone could be happy why not legalize it.
