No, I don't.
In the US, marriage is a legal contract. Even if you get married in a religious ceremony, you must have a marriage license for it to be a valid marriage.
Since it's a legally binding contract, it makes no sense to exclude two consenting adults simply because they are of the same sex.
And I must add that I love the conservative, homophobic statement that gay marriage somehow threatens the more traditional heterosexual marriages. The divorce rate in the US is right around 50%, and has been for years and years. It would appear that heterosexual couples aren't doing too well on the marriage thing, so how can it possibly hurt or weaken the institution when it's already in trouble?
When I stood before my family and friends and said "I do" to my marriage vows, I automatically got a lot of rights. I look forward to the day when those same rights are extended to all committed couples who would like to be married.
**EDIT**
And just so you know, I think the last good decision Bush made was probably marrying his wife. The only thing I have ever liked about the Bush presidents is their wives--they are the only bright spot in that whole lot.

I don't know. He says he is christian but since when has christianity been about invading other countries and killing masses of people. If he was a true christian then yes i can quite understand why he would not allow gay marriages. He may say he IS a christian then perhaps he should think back over about murdering so many people. He may not do this pyshically but isn't what he's doing just as bad!? So in question does that make him a homophobic because he doesn't like gays?! ask yourself

It's not good for gay couples who want the same rights as heterosexual couples. Without extraordinary legal manuvering, a gay partner will be hit with a huge tax burden when inheriting property.
Furthermore, your sexual orientation is a physical/biological phenomenon. (So much for pursuit of happiness...)
Mr. Frosty... Could you check your statistics. I believe that the actual number of gay folks is closer to 10%, but just because you are a minority doesn't mean you should give up your rights... does it?
This country was founded by people who were prosecuted because their religious beliefs differed from the majority. That's why we have separation of church and state.
Mr. Bush has openly bridged this separation and also shredded the Constitution and Bill of Rights. He and and the VP should be impeached immediately because they have violated their sworn duty to uphold the constitution.

George Bush is not "supporting" gay marriages...He hasn't banned them..
that is a state decision...why do you think a few states do permit gay marriages/unions? Massachusetts is one of them.
I would suggest that if you want gay marriage than start sending the message to the Govenor of your home state

No, I think that it's denying American citizens their rights.
I'm a straight American myself and have voted every way possible to allow it... I think it's a huge blight on our society that we don't allow it.
To me, it says something pretty negative about a lot of society that the majority of Americans want to deprive other Americans of their rights.
Oh, and one more thing... to everyone who uses the defense that marriage is a religious thing, and gays aren't religious or at least by default don't follow Christianity or any other not-gay-friendly religion... you get LEGAL RIGHTS from being married, you get a different tax structure... so it's not a matter of faith, it's a matter of legality.

He really has no choice because of his core conservative financial backers. He can't set about becoming a liberal trailblazer at this stage in the game!
Pity he didn't spend longer on some of his other decisions as he has on this!

Bush makes decisions???
Also let gay people learn that marriage is miserable no matter what genders are involved.

Bush never makes a good decision.

I have found little reason to say anything that Bush has done has been a good decision...
In debt to our eyebrows...
Record deficit spending...
Crappy economy...
Squandered international goodwill...
A continual trashing of the Constitution...
The list could go on for a long time.

Frosty forgets that marriage is primarily religious plus he seems to have no problem with the religious folk who interefere in other people's lives
It's not fair to deny people equality especially when people are meant to be equal
