I feel that in a world where divorces can happen minutes after the wedding ceremony, we should embrace couples who genuinely want to show their love for each other and wish to seal it, regardless of who they are. I have no problem with homosexual marriage and would quite happily attend the ceremony if any of my gay friends decided to marry. I think that unless someone tries to force your way of thinking, you should live and let live.

you dont have to be a priest to get a marriage license. priests preform marriage ceremonies, which is UNRELATED to the legal binding of two people. UNRELATED.

death: thats a nice statistic, but what does it have ANYTHING to do with the national law of the United States of America? Church principal MUST be separate from State Law. That is one of the FOUNDING PRINCIPALS of our country.

Re: gay marrige

| I agree. I know some gay people, and it really kills them that they can't get married. I told them to ignore what other people (including the gov.)say, but its kinda illegal. Lol. I say they make it legal so that people can go their own ways. It doesn't matter whether it's against your religion, what matters is they feel deeply for each other, and they don't have to give a crap about what other people think, plus, it could be in their religion to marry another man/woman (dunno of any...lol.).Besides, not everyone follows one set religion! So, instead of leaving them alone... why not help them out? Just a little. I know that if I could help in anyway. I would. |

anyone can have a ceremony of marriage however they like, the only question is of the governmental tax and other legal recognition of these ceremonies. i do not think anyone has actually proposed banning the act of gay marriage, but rather the legal recognition of it. for example, married husband and wife share tax benefits and are able to adopt (not to mention HAVE) children. however some people believe that gay couples do not deserve this because they arent technically married. this kind of discrimination reminds me of the way blacks and women were treated before they could vote. obviously they are no different than any other citizen, but are being threatened with the denial of certain rights that other citizens have. thats just wrong. prejudice is wrong. persecution of a people based on their race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation is wrong.

OMG people, let gays get married. In my opinion, its none of our buisness what their personal life is, so lay off. A bunch of uuber Christans have no right to go around and police these people for being in love and wanting to get married. Its not their place.

| i agree with gendou: marriage is a matter of religion, and the Constitution bans the government from interfering with it, and vice versa. anyways, i thought i thought Christianity was about love and whatnot, so isn't loving someone, regardless of their gender, being Christian? |

Re: gay marrige

| i agree with gendou, there ought to be a civil union for tax purposes, separate from religious marriage. think about this: even if gay marriage is outlawed, gays are going to live together and adopt children anyway. The conservatives who claim that gay marriage will disrupt society forget that America was not founded on Christian principles (America was founded on rebellion and the idea of self-determination, two rather non-classic-Christian concepts) and continues in a very non-Christian mindset to this day. Conservatives should stop pretending that they stand for "America's core values" and realize that they are trying to fundamentally change America, not restore it to its former self. |

Re: gay marrige

| Yeah. Besides marriage is a way of solidifing one's love for someone. Why is that sorry excuse for a living being interfering? We allow crap like teen-marriage(sometimes), marriage between different religions, races, Marriage shows where the people don't even know each other, and we allow some wealthy and ancient old prune to marry some slut who wants his cash and his death, yet we don't allow marriages between people of the same gender. WTF? Also being a big shounen-ai fan I think that the thought of gays getting married is a nice thought indeed. |

jesus christ cant we leave the gays alone? marriage is a religious union, so its none of the state's business except when it comes to taxes and unions. we need to make laws separating legal union from religious recognized unions, not laws that make certain lifestyles illegal. i would like to hear some other people's opinions.
