I personally agree with SaetonChapelle. Lets Gays and Lesbians get married, why should they be happy, ha ha, joking aside, I love my husband.

I say yes. In the end, there is only one judge if you believe in Him and He will sort us all out, with His sorting hat and I really hope I get Gryffindore!! (spell check)

Okay again, joking aside. A long LOOONG time ago I would have not been allowed to marry and even if I did my marriage would not be considered valid all because of the color of my skin. I am glad that I live in a world that I can marry who I wanted to marry. Six years and going strong. There was a time sooner than that, that my marriage would not be allowed because the color of my skin and my husband's is not the same and to some people that is still wrong. To each their own. I myself, because of seperation of church and state feels that because of this our country is not doing everything it should. Rights for some, and not for all? How long will we allow history to repeat itself. Oh, I forgot, new people, so what am I talking about. We haven't seen this play out before it's all new....

I still feel everyone is entitled to have their own feelings about it. I myself would not choose the lifestyle for myself but I open my arms to ALL people who are good to me and mine because I believe in loving everyone as God loves me, no matter who you lay with at the end of the day or what you look like.

*steps off soap box*
:P

If two people love each other regardless if they are gay or not, they have every right to get married. One of the many things I extremely dislike in todays society is people saying gays shouldn't have rights. I was shocked and horrified when a friend of mine told me that "Homo's and lesies are disgusting" (I hadn't yet come out as bi-sexual) Why are gays treated any different to straight people? They are humans, so they should be treated like humans.

The only reason why gay marriage is getting banned in a couple places is because really religious people are complaining about it, which I think is complete BS since the church is not susposed to get involved with the government.

Gay marriage I think is perfectly fine, its not like its hurting anyone so I really don't see the point in banning it.

Its so funny though when people are all like "If gay marriage is allowed then the human race will die out!" XD

Oh gosh, there are people saying that!? I think as long as people are born with their "special parts" we don't have to worry about that. Some people can't see past their own noses and that is so sad. That kind of mentality should have us all turning gay, catching it like a cold and that is just crazy. I agree with you Demoncat. People should be allowed to be who they are.

the most riddiculous reason for being against samesexed marriages is "because the bible says so". If the bible says so or not has already been discussed. But correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the US a secular country? as well as the country where I live, and as many other too...

The US IS a secular country but for some reason gay marriage has been getting banned in a couple of states, which like I said is complete BS its unconstitutional to ban gay marriage since its breaking the whole "church not getting involved with the government" business. XD

Our country and be pretty ridiculous at times. :P

I don't see why people would say no.

In what way does a man marrying a man in Canada, affect a man marrying a woman in the States?

I know some gays say that gay marriage shouldn't be allowed, because they think marriage doesn't mean anything- you can love someone and not wed them, and you can hate someone but still get stuck marrying them. Additionally, they see marriage as a way of trying to prove to people that you love someone, and you shouldn't have to do that if your love is real. But that opinion has more to do with marriage itself, and not gay marriage.

To me, marriage is mostly about financial matters, so I think if a gay couple can afford to be married, go ahead, if not, don't bother.

Also, these days, you don't have to have sex to pop out a baby. So the opinion of gays getting married killing off the human race is silly.

I agree angel song. I guarantee that there are plenty of men and women having sex for us NOT to have to worry about that. I can't stand stupid people.

See? Being a homosexual helps people! XD

Joking aside, I'm all for gay marriage just like I am interacial marriage. A person's gender, race, age or background shouldn't stop that person from loving.
This is all very unusual for someone like me to say because I'm South African and we're all rascist homophobes. At least, that's what people who have never set a foot in Africa tell me anyway.

I actually find it quite ironic...America which is always going on about freedom of speech and is the most powerful country in the world doesn't allow gays to marry or join the army while little old South Africa which is filled with the murderers, rapists and theives allows it. Yes, gay marriage is legal here. It's also legal for gays to adopt and join the army.

So come on, all you first world countries, get with the modern times! Africa's beating you! XD

I am always shoved around when i bring up my support ( living in the bible belt). Alot of people i used to know hated the idea of it.

I am pan-sexual and therefore wish to have the same rights as EVERYONE ELSE. It isn't right that people would base how people should love one another off religious views or even their own personal problems with it. It's rather rude and makes me want to scream at how closed minded people can be. I view marriage as a bonding between two who have found deep love. Not oh your a woman i'm a man lets get hitched. I mean half of the gay couples i know are happier then the married straight couples i know(not saying anything bad at all).

I am just tired of the hate. We all have the same colored blood in our bodies. We all breath the same air. We all live on the same freaking planet.Let us all love who we want to love.

Gender doesn't determine marriage. Love does. So as long as two people love eachother, they should be permitted to get married. I support gay marriage 100%. I think that, as long as two people want to get married, love eachother, etc, they should be able to marry if they want to. (: I don't see anything wrong with it. I don't understand why people think it's so abserd. I mean, as long as the couple aren't like, making out in public and stuff, I don't see anything wrong with gays. Besides, even when a straight couple makes out in public, it;s gross! No one wants to see that. But anyways. I think gay marriage should be legal everywhere. (:

This is one subject my friends know not to get me started on because I am very strong in my beliefs towards this.

Alright, so first think of it like this:
A human being loves another human being, and that human being loves them back. Their love is pure and kind. They want to spend the rest of their loves together joined as one, living one life.
Marrying ties them in unity.
So they should get married right?

Well, I think so. But when people involve gender it is apparently different. However I don't think so. If a person loves a person, they should have the right to 'tie the knot' and live the rest of their years together.

Everyone should take into mind what the real meaning of 'love is blind' means. It doesn't just mean appearance. It means age, intelligence levels, gender, physical or mental disabilities, race, what 'types of people' people are, or anything else. Love does not involve that! Love is... love. It is pure, it is kind, it is good. It is not biased, nor racist, nor prejudiced.
Gays are human beings too. They are citizens, they are people, just like you and I. Why should we be given the right to take away another's rights? One of the amendments states that one is free to do however they wish so long as they do not hinder the rights of another. It is my right to marry, so I shouldn't go around saying that I can marry but two gays can not. By making laws that restrict the right to marry and love one another, rights are being taken away.

Recall amendment one: freedom of speech and religion. So one can not say that according to the Bible, homosexuality is wrong and so gays should not marry or fornicate. Because not everybody believes in the Bible or God, so not everybody should be forced to abide by the Bible.

Why would someone want to take away a given, and should be non-disputable, right to marry whoever they please? Because they think it is 'disgusting' or 'not right'? Where in the Constitution does it say being gay is not right? Where in the Constitution does it say that being gay is disgusting? Where in the Constitution does it say that it is the government's right to prohibit one from marrying, loving, and being with the one they choose? That is like me saying two people shouldn't marry because they are different races, or come from different countries, or don't have the same hair color, or because one is fat and one is skinny.

What if most of the world was homosexual? And what if they said that straights are not allowed to marry? Well, heterosexuals would be upset. Heterosexuals would not like it, they would think it is unfair and unjust. Well how do you thinks homosexuals feel when we do this to them?

Honestly remember this: Do onto others what you wish they would do onto you. So don't say someone shouldn't marry or someone shouldn't love who they please because you think it is wrong or disgusting or whatever it may be. Because, and you can not deny this, you wouldn't want someone to say that about you or do that to you. You wouldn't want someone to prohibit you from marrying the person you love and or care for. You can not base a law or base marriage on genders because that is what you think. Because what some may think isn't what everyone else thinks. Meaning that just because you think one way, doesn't mean everyone should have to abide by that and think like that too.
