Well, if at some point in the future, I were to meet someone I was madly enough in love with to want to spend the rest of my life with them, we would be able to go get married.
How would gay marriage affect your life?

It wouldn't effect me at all, it'd be nice to see people who don't fit the norm reap the benefits that other people do though. You know marrage tax breaks and whatever, being able to visit in hospitals.
I never got why everyone is so caught up in who other people want to be with. Does two gay people having sex in their house in a room with the windows closed effect you? Then why do people complain about it?!

Awwww, come on. I was being joking hyperbolic. I know that with hard work, skill, and dedication practically anyone can live a successful life. I was just going along with the fact that it life can be easier for you when you're in the right place at the right time and know the right people. I don't know if Woodsey was joking, but I certainly was.The Long Road said:
meh, my little sister is in a gay marriage, and the weirdest thing about it is she got married first. Everyone had money on me getting married first.
Very little. There will be endless comments from my family on why its bad and endless people feeling the need to tell me every 12 seconds at my college (being in a liberal arts college gets annoying when everyone wants to try and convert you to a cause) how great it is. There might be some unforeseen economic impact (maybe), but that's just about it.
Yeah, unless I'm the one being married, I think it'd be pretty low on my list of things that affect me.
Wouldnt bother me. I know plenty of Gay couples that want to get married but arent/cant by PA law. And was every worse (well... worse for them, good I guess for Gay haters) is that they would make WAY better parents then half the people we live around. So yeah... It wouldnt affect ME personally. If at all, it would make me happier for my friends.
what a stupid question! it won't affect my, or anyone elses life in the slightest! to quote Marge Simpson's suprisingly wise words "if two people love eachother, who cares if they have the same hoo-hoos or haa-haas?" nelson- "Ha Ha!"
According to my dad, it would diminish the value of his marriage to my mom. Such a bullshit answer honestly. He loves my mom more than you can imagine anyone to love their wife (and that's after 28 years a marriage too!), and yet somehow knowing that there are two men kissing out there means that his love somehow means less to him.
Can I ask what the point of posting in this topic is if you're just going to say the exact same thing as everyone else? Just look at all the answers on the first page. Good grief. You'd think that one guy had ten accounts or something.
Might as well drop the controversy bomb here and make a different post:
You ask what gay marriage being legalized would do to affect my life.
Can I ask what eliminating the drinking age would do to affect your life if you were over 21?
Can I ask what eliminating all the drug bans would do if you don't take any of them?
Can I ask what legalizing abuse of females would do if you're a male?
Can I ask what abolishing the speed limit would do if you had no license, or walked/biked/etc. to work instead?
Can I ask what making meat illegal would do if you were already a vegetarian?
Can I ask what legalizing pedophilia and child abuse would do to you if you were an adult?
If you say "nothing" to all of the above but STILL found the concepts more than objectionable, you now know that just because homosexuality does NOT affect heterosexuals, does not mean they cannot find it against their own ethics/morals/opinions/whatever.

Do you not see the flaw in that logic?[footnote]I'm apologizing for my agro tone now because I'm unsure if you were truly making a point or just playing devil's advocate [/footnote]What you're saying is because some one can object to it, that it's ok to object to it? All those things you listed are bad for society in a provable way. We used to have a lower legal drinking age, but then we realized that kids aren't responsible with alcohol. Men could beat their wives before we realized that females are people too. I can tell you that a pedestrian is going to worry about traffic speeds if some one close to them who does drive gets killed by some one that drove too fast.Kingsman said:
How does two people who are close friends making a promise to each other going to affect ANYONE other than themselves? Those problems you listed were a menace to society. If you think that being gay is being a menace, then I'm done with this post because there is no way this is going to go anywhere good.
Not only that, but if you are in a hetero marriage and think that gay people being able to marriage will negatively affect your marriage, your marriage can't be all that good then, can it?MasochisticMuse said:
If I tried to care any less about whether or not two people of the same gender married, I might get a nosebleed from the exertion. It's just a non-issue to distract conservative middle America away from the things that actually matter, like how the government is slowly trying to control of every aspect of our lives. Like, who we can and cannot marry, for example.
