Gay People Pay The Same Taxes As Non-gays Do. Those Taxes Entitle The Citizen To Every Right The US Offers, Including The Right To Get Married
The US takes their money which allows gays to be full American citizens. The US is morally obligated to let them get married.

Equal right means equal rights for all. If you ban marrige for 1 group you must ban it for all. By the way when a government treats people differently because of there personal views that are not illegal actions they are not longer democratic they are socialists.

I am for equal rights no matter whether it is sexual orientation, race, gender, age, religion etc. The activity doesn't harm anyone else so I think that we have every right. Well as far as I'm concerned as long as the rights that are afforded are the same I don't really care whether they call it marriage or not.

This issue is a moot point. Gay or straight, whatever race creed or color you are...we are all human beings. All born with the same rights and dignities as any other living person on this planet.

Whatever personal reason you may have to object to it, you can keep it to yourself. Every person has the right to every statute under their governing sets of laws. Especially when it comes to human rights. If this was a different debate, like "should gays be able to adopt?" it would be a different set of rules that would apply as it would no longer be a human rights issue, but rather a subjective question of whether it is deemed socially responsible to lets gay people raise kids.
However, no one can stop two people that are the age of majority, from having a relationship and committing to marriage. To deny them that is to deny them their human rights and creating a different sub-class of people. Oh wait, I think that road may have been traveled before...I think it was called SLAVERY!!!

 Heteros can be nasty and perverted, too, so that should not be brought to mind for one orientation and not another.

I'd say yes. I'm completely for equal rights for all people regardless of age, race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, etc.

Phrased as you have done so in the above explanation in the debate set forth here, I agree with your reasons why.

Murderers pay taxes to , should they be allowed to kill

the marriage vows say a man and a woman.
Slavery has nothing to do with anything, it was to long ago to be of any value to anything

 marrage vows do not say a man and a woman.
Unless the officiating person puts that in. They can just as easily say a man and a man or a woman and a woman.

Most of the taxes come from the hetero population. I don't think homosexuals deserve gay marriage on the basis of tax based contributions to the state. I think the hetero population should have a vote in the matter seeing as how they pay taxes also. The reasoning doesn't fit.

 Each tax payment comes from individuals who are individually promised certain rights as tax-paying Americans. Saying heteros should have more rights because they collectively pay more taxes is BOZO and utterly illogical. By your reasoning, if I, a woman, go it no an auto parts store and pay for an item, I should NOT get the item because the greater number of men in the store are collectively paying more. That is bogus. Each INDIVIDUAL’S tax payment is that person’s dues entitling that person to full American rights.
