Men should be able to get married if they want to.So should women.
IT'S THEIR CHOICE!! |

Who are we to judge humans for loving other humans? A persons sexuality is none of our business. Let
people marry whoever they love. |

It is inaccurate to perceive marriage merely as an institution for child-raising purposes. There are
many married couples in society today who do not have children of their own. Similarly, there are an
increasing number of children who are raised by single parents these days. In any case, gay couples
may adopt children in countries where they are permitted to do so. The advance of medical science
has also enabled gay couples to have children of their own through surrogate mothers. |

Homosexuals should have the right to marry each other. Why are they any different from
heterosexuals? Homophobes out there should learn to accept them in society as normal people and also
equal to any other person. We should not make them inferior to heterosexuals just because of their
sexuality. Those against should think about how they have presented their arguments.
You are debating to prevent gays getting of married. What were you thinking? If the whole world
wants to live in peace and harmony, everyone has to be equal and should have the same rights (apart
from heinous criminals), thus homosexuals should be allowed to marry each other. |

If God really hated gays that much, he would send a flood or something. Besides, who are we to stand
in the way of true love? |

Hey if gay people wanna get married why should we have the right to stop them ?
We shouldn't |
| |
|
| |
|

If Gay is your way, I suppose. I wouldn't do it myself, but I don't think that it should be banned
by any means. |

If gays fall in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together, then whats so wrong about
that. Don't judge. There are a lot of famous people in the world that a lot of people look up to
and think are great. Like ellen degeneres. She's a wonderful woman and a lot of people think shes
hilarious and she found a true soul mate that happens to be the same sex. So what. I think she
rocks. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Speaking of religious type of marriage, I don't personally understand gay people who want to be part
of an institution which seems to be against them (referring to the bible). Same goes with the women
priests. As an economical solution, gay marriage is OK. |
| |
|

Gays do not choose to be gay so let them be loved like heterosexual |
| |
|

If people want to be with their own gender then who are you to judge them? What appeals to them
appeals to them, and no matter what we say or do will change that. |

If you have found someone that makes you happy then i think that you should have the right to be
truly married
your the way you are and no one can change that
your going to be with each other no matter what the government thinks
but i think that you should be able to take the name of someone you love and want to be with for the
rest of you life |

I believe homosexuality is wrong.
But I don't think we should make so many laws. This is obviously a personal choice. No matter how
deeply I disagree. |
| |
|

It is a free country |

It is perfectly fair. |

God made man for woman and women for men and women for women and men for men. The thing that makes
gays gay was created by God just as surely as the thing that makes heteros hetero. Gays, go get
married if you want. All God wants to see is you happy. If marriage does it, I believe God would
bless it. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Wahoo be gay if you want, who cares. |
| |
|
| |
|

|
|

Everyone should be able to be with the one they love and want to be with. I don't think the
government should have so much say in people's personal and love fives. It's not their business. And
religion should NOT play a part in whether this becomes legal or not because our country cant be
ruled by one religion when we have the freedom to be whatever religion we want to. I strongly
believe in the separation of church and state. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I am okay with legal gay marriages because it all matters on whether those people will be happy.
Think if you best friend were gay and was going out with someone from the same sex. If they were not
allowed to be married with the person that they love you would see a difference. If I look at that
in the perspective I understand what it would be like without a person you care about regardless of
their sex. |

I don't see any harm it'll cause. This form of discrimination has always baffled me because we went
from racism to sexism and now to disputes about sexuality. Do we never learn? Discrimination is
never right. |

The main argument against gay marriage is the god argument. God doesn't like gay people, etc. If
you want to believe that, alright. However, you have no proof of god, nor proof of his hatred of
gay people. Therefore, it is unreasonable to make laws on that basis. Believe and behave as you
want to, but stop trying to run the lives of others based on your unprovable dogma.
And let me remind all of you that once blacks were prohibited from marrying whites in the U.S. I
guarantee you that there were plenty of people complaining that god would hate blacks marrying
whites. I hope that puts this issue in perspective for some of you. |
| |
|

|

It should be. Gay people can't help it. The human mind is really weird so we shouldn't discriminate
against people that can't help how they feel. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I agree, but I'll play Devil's Advocate with you. Your logic that people are born that way,
therefore they can't be responsible, is flawed. Using your logic, I could say that murderers are
born that way, it's not their choice they're psychotic. |

I've mellowed in my autumn years. There was a time when I would have never considered the idea, but
now I see it as simply a union of two. After all, there's nothing special about the relationship
that can't be applied to either couple--love, honor, cherish etc. Over the years, I've come to
realize that homosexuality is not something that people chose to be--they just are. I'm tired of all
the divisiveness out there these days. Keep in mind that but for one small exception, the entire
population of the planet consists of OTHERS. I once heard a funny quote about marriage calling it a
relationship recognized by the police--that's about it. |

I think gay marriage should be legal, there is nothing different between a homosexual marriage and a
hetrosexual marriage except obviously the fact that in a homosexual marriage the people are of the
same sex. Both couple's would feel the same about each other and both would want a happy life. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
People should be entitled to marry someone they love and care for just because traditionally
marriage is between a man and woman does not mean same sex couples should not be allowed to be
joined similarly. More emphasis should be placed on the individuals feelings in a marriage rather
than the gender of the people involved. |

It's nobody's business what somebody does in their personal life.
It doesn't matter if you think its wrong, unnatural, great, or whatever.
Its still none of your business.
So people should get their noses out of other peoples bedrooms.
And stop denying them their rights
just because the majority thinks its right.
Just because the majority believes something,
that doesn't make it right.
60 years ago the majority in Germany let the Holocaust happen.
50 years ago the majority of southerners supported Jim Crow laws.
Obviously, the majority doesn't always know best. |

No matter what you personally believe everyone deserves the same rights and should be able to marry
whomever they like and the sanctity of marriage is already gone if you believe that is should be
upheld than i guess you must be against divorce. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
There is no legitimate reason not for it. No one has the right to tell someone who they can or
cannot marry. Whether or not it's your personal belief, it doesn't affect you, so why shouldn't you
let everyone else have the same rights as you? |
| |

Sure why not fvck yourself or whayever you thin is yourself?
Or Mr. Nuts looking for Miss Boltz or whatever.

It goes against the basic principality of morals and biological order. If it be so, the whole world
should be filled with only women or only men instead of women and men together. |

What two disgusting perverted freaks do behind closed doors is between them and God, but to sanction
their perverted lifestyle with marriage is unspeakably wrong. |

Gay marriage, in the sentimental form, is already completely legal in America. Anyone has the right
to love, sleep with, live with, and commit their lives to anyone they chose; and to seek the
blessing from their chosen community for their union.
Government recognition of a committed sexual relationship is not a "right". Rather, state
recognition of Marriage is a time-honored incentive set up by society to promote the cornerstone by
which the society continues itself, which is simply genetically not true of a gay union. You can
come to this recognition without being afraid or hateful towards homosexuals. I can respect and
love homosexuals and often approve of the choices they make, but I don't have any reason to actively
promote, through government policy, their forming committed unions.
The same can be said of renting vs owning a home. There is nothing wrong with renting, but society
has chosen to encourage home ownership as a stabilizing force in society through the application of
special tax status, which is something renters don't get. That's not discrimination, it's
recognizing activity that we deem constructive. |

The government should not have any say in who decides to join together. If we are to continue
having government invade this area of our lives, the name "marriage" should only be used for
heterosexual couples. Homosexual couples should unite under a different title, such as "union." |

It should be voted on just like it was in California. |

Marriage is between a man and a women. If you want to call it something - find a new name - like
Garriage or something like that. |

How would they ever raise children and not have the children be messed up in some way? |

I am very against it, but do feel they should have the same rights as a married couple in reference
to healthcare benefits. What is a piece of paper anyway. |

God made woman for man, not man for man or women for women. Some people, no matter what you say,
can help being homosexual. If a girl who has had scarred relationships with men turns to
lesbianism, she can easily go to some sort of therapist. There are people that have been homosexual
but have changed.
However, I also believe that some people are truly born different than "normal" heterosexual people.
For those people, I say have a good relationship with God. He loves you, but he doesn't want you
to live this way. With God you can overcome anything. (Not to say it will be easy. It'll probably
be the hardest thing that you ever do). It's hard to think that God doesn't want you to love
somebody, but marriage was meant for a man and a woman. But don't discriminate against homosexuals
either; they're just as human as you or me, and life is harder for them. |

Homosexuality is wrong because
a. God said man and woman should marry, not man and man or woman and woman.
B. How would two guys have a kid of thier own? I don't mean adoption, I mean a kid that the two of
them created. |
| |

Marriage is defined by GOD. I am not going to be the one that changes that! |

I am not homophobic like a lot of the people who voted against this topic. I didn't base my opinion
on the fact that I "think it is gross" as someone stated. I do feel that, since marriage is the
union of a man and a woman, the word marriage would not be appropriate for a gay union. I have no
issue with them being recognized as a legal couple with the same respect given their relationship as
is given to a marriage between those of the opposite sex. Morally, I don't feel it is right, but I
reserve judgment until such a time that I feel I have achieved perfection. I am not there. I will
never be. Someone made a point that woman was created for man. I think that is valid. I do not
find homosexuality to be natural, but I don't think it is appropriate to say a homosexual isn't
normal. Who is normal in society? Who doesn't have a skeleton or two in their closet? I also
noticed that someone stated that gay marriages are legal. I think they are mistaking the fact that
some churches will perform the ceremony. This is not the same as making it a legal union, thus
giving them the ability to file as married on their taxes and receive tax credits for that. I don't
have issue with any of the homosexual people that I know. I am kind of on the fence, so to speak,
as to whether I feel they should have all of the same benefits as a man and a woman who are married
are entitled to. My moral objections get in the way of my objective opinion, however, I do not feel
there is any need to bash them or refer to them in any unkind way. I truly believe that a person
who is homosexual does not choose this lifestyle in most cases. There are those people, mostly
younger people who, at the moment are confused and want to experiment with same sex relationships.
In the long run, there is still so much stigma and ignorance out there that most people would not
choose an alternative lifestyle outside of the "norm" and fight for rights if they were actually
happy with being in a relationship with the opposite sex. Since this is something that I feel is an
inherent part of a person, and not something they just want to be, I do not feel they should be
discriminated against, but I also do not think that the sacred vow of marriage (again, defined as
between a man and a woman) could be accurately bestowed on a homosexual union. Perhaps, there is a
middle ground.
Oh, on the topic of procreation. The person who asked how they could procreate may need to google
for that info. Of course, adoption is an option. Lesbians are able to be inseminated and gay men
can find someone willing to carry a baby to term for them with one of them being the sperm donor. I
am not certain I agree with a child being raised in this environment, only because kids have it hard
enough with other kids picking on them for pretty much any reason they can find. Ignorant and
homophobic parents produce kids who share their parents' views and I feel for the child who is being
singled out for being "different" simply because they have two mommies or two daddies. |

Marriage is something that is between a man and a women. The word marriage is very sacred to people
in the way of a man and women united together to become one. Two men or Two women would, in my eyes,
be there choice but the major conflict here is that gay couples want to get MARRIED, I would not
care as much if a gay couple wanted to have a UNION. I still think it is wrong but its the Marriage
that gets to me. It has been a man and women who got married for a very long time not two men or two
women. I strongly disagree with Gay Marriage. |

Marriage is supposed to be between one man and one woman.
I guess I should mary my pet if gay marriage is made legal. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|

|
They're not of opposite gender, so it should be illegal. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Disagree.
Marriage was designed to be a union between a man and a woman. This was done for several reasons.
The first is the natural way of sexual intercourse is one male and one female.
Two, child rearing is more effective with both male and female role models. Three, child creation
in only possible through a male and female union. |

I'm totally against it. Both because of my religion, but mostly because i think it is just plain
disgusting seeing 2 guys going down the road, holding hands and making out in the back of a bus!
Yes, i did see that while driving home from school. I'm still not sure if one of them, one the back
of a bus, was a female, but just because it was hard to tell, IT WAS DIGUSTING! Now, what would you
tell your kids after they see 2 guys making out? |

I am completely opposed to gay marriage, it doesn't even sound right. If you read the last part of
romans one you can see why those people are gay, that's right I am not only opposed to gay marriage
but to the whole gay thing. Why do gays always slam the bible? What are they so concerned with? I
believe its because it shines light on the darkness. I know homosexuality is a sin and i'm sure your
going to argue where does God say that. But I find it interesting how defenceive the gays are on
this, just read their comments. If someone is born a physcopath and goes around committing all kind
of abcentities should we allow it because that's the way they were born? I believe what the bible
says so here's the deal I wont push my religion on you so don't push gay marriage on me by trying to
get me to accept it |
| |
|

No I don’t believe in gay marriage. I also think there are more important problems in the world
than to worrying about people who aren’t hurting anyone. I think that the time used to pass these
laws could be used in far better ways. |

Ok well i know ever 1 has rights in America but there are limits that you can't cross like any one
can carry a gun but you cant go in to a court house with it you see what i'm saying its just not

This is a gay pride issue nothing to do with the sanctity of marriage.
Gay people want to have the same rights to get married, procreate and prove to everyone and
themselves they are normal.
In Great Britain it is called a civil partnership so as to take care of inheritance and legal
ramifications. |
| |
|

Personally and moral conviction tells me, that homosexual ought not to be made legal in any states,
except those liberal states, such as California and Massachusetts. Obvious I had a conservative
views on anything involving our moral standing, after all, the United States was founded by
Christian or power of providence principle. Learn your history! |

Gays should be allowed to marry, but it shouldn't be called marriage, gays should have a separate
thing that's like marriage but called something different. We shouldn't break thousands of years of
traditions for it. |

Gays discuss me they should not have the right to get married |
| |

Why all the fuss? Why do they 'need' to get married? They are legal, why can't they just enjoy their
freedom to be together openly? Why bother with marriage. It has been shown most of them break up
after a short time anyway? Is it that they still do not fell 'normal?' |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Gay marriages are legal |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

If gay marriage should be legal then me marrying my socks should be legal to and me being married to
my shoes should be legal to and me being married to my car should be legal to and me being married
to cheese should be legal too |
