I don't see why they're making such a fuss over it when civil partnerships are exactly the same as a marriage in legal terms but if they want full marriage rights I'm not going to stop them from getting it.
i dont see what the big deal is. There are a lot of people who say gay people getting married is wrong, like if its hurting them or something. I think that as long as two people are in love it shouldnt matter if their gay, straight, or bi. I think that everyone deserves to get married. 50% of marriages end up in divorce. And there are people out there even knowing this statistic that want to get married and stay together but they cant because the government saids its wrong. Just let them get married and be happy.
Correct we don't know the possible conquences off letting homosexuals rasing childern... but too simply do somthing even though we don't know what will happen has rarely served humanity well in the past(only rarely has somthing good come of this) like using fossil fuels or antibotics. Maybe homosexuals rasing childern will make them more understanding and less stereotypical of what males should do and what females should do, in that case it's a positive force that will improve humanity as a whole... however the opposite end of the spectrum could be true in that the kids could devlope sexual relation problems or could be completely alienated from their own gender... We simply don't have enough data! So instead of leaping into the abyss as we so often do, we should do some long term studies and plan this out to see the effects. I believe if there is more postives then negatives or no negatives at all then go for it... but don't expect me to agree with somthing that we don't understand yet.
Yes we allow parents not of the norm to raise kids... but in a safe envioremnt. A parent who abuses their kid emotionally or physically usally have their childern taken away to a safer enviorment. No homosexuals will probably not abuse their kids physicallly or emotionally(however like us their could be exceptions) but we must protect the childern from harm even if the harm is completely unintentional and with the intentions of care. A childerns relationship with their parents dramtically influnces their life, and while most of us will be exposed to stimlus like death or other negative influnces not everybody will be exposed to having homosexual parents... While no body is sure yet if there are any effects of such an upbringing all percations must be made for the childern to develope as normal as possible. You wouldn't expose an child to a murder or other negative event since most childern don't... so why POSSIBLY expose them to an negative event that most childern will not have to go through.
I find the notion of two guys doing the nasty both disgusting and unappealing, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to do it. No matter how prejudice you are you have to admit that banning gay marriage is discriminative, which has no place in federal law. They should at least be able to get married legally and get all the same benefits, if not religiously. Though why homosexuals would seek to be matromonied by something so bigotive that it condemns their very existence puzzles me.
Marriage is an outdated religious custom that shouldn't be given the dignity of requesting whether it's okay for someone to love each other.
It's simple, in America, let the States decide. It's the State's imperative anyways to want marriage a state institution (which I disagree with being a Christian myself) but they most certainly want babies to be future taxpayers so they got involved. Obviously, homosexuals cannot produce future taxpayers.
The whole point of the US was to have State power be more important than Federal power. If Massachusetts wants to have gay marriage, move there if you want it, move somewhere else if you don't.

The only reason i voted no was because marriage is a christian ceremony whereby a man and a woman specifically are meant to be joined by god, but i have no problems with civil ceremonies i guess. Also i am a christian and i have plenty of gay friends, heck my gf's housemate is gay and we hang out alot these days, so please don't think of me as a gay hater
