At the risk of bringing nothing to this topic, the last thread like this spiralled out of control. Let's not have a repeat eh?

Legally, I don't have a problem, although I'd prefer the term union rather marriage. However religious institutions should be allowed to deny the use of a church for the ceremony and should be allowed to deny the religious ceremony.
Doesn't really affect me so I'm pretty indifferent. I'm not religious either so let gay people get married if they want. They should be allowed to express their love in the same way as everyone else I think.
If they want to then whatever. I believe in it in the legal sense (in that they're two people who can have joint assets and the like) but not in the religious sense because practically every religion opposes it so I'd just say it's hypocritical. Not that they can't be religious, but really they've gotta organise their own religion if theyre not going to play by the rules of other religions...
Yes, dont we all love paedophilia... Sorry, I totally agree with what you meant to say... "...whoever they want WITH VALID CONSENT"Michael_McCloud said:
People wanted to do that because it wasn't in there originally, but only added in the 1950s.The Amazing Orgazmo said:
I don't really care. Only time I do care is when people get in my face over such matters, then I tell them to bog off.
People should be free to make choices like that since religion is no longer a part of culture, however one partner is a part of human nature so marriages should stay. But I've got better things to do that preach to thick skulled church goers about what to think.

Sure, why not - go for it. Don't see any problem with this. In fact I see this as a positive for two reasons:
1. It will really piss of religious crazies.
2. Same rights for everybody.

Honestly, if it's not hurting anyone, and it makes them happy, I don't see the problem. I also don't really give a shit if they call it "marriage" or "domestic partnership". Because if both parties get the same rights, then you changing the name of the 'event' is just plain denial.
1. When you say "don't rub it in my face", do you mean it like the same way when heterosexual married couples go off after the ceremony in their ribbon clad cars and beep at everyone who go by to 'express' their happiness?
2. How exactly can they get you to 'follow' them...? Are you afraid that with homosexuals getting the same rights as normal married couples they might somehow force you to become gay and then marry some other guy...? Your point is lost to me.

I really think you have to be pretty off the wall if you're against it. I myself am homophobic, and i hope people understand the word before throwing it around like some idiots out there who thinks it means the same as racist.....oh what the hell here it is.

?noun a persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that leads to a compelling desire to avoid it." there you go, and yes I am for gay marriage, everyone deserves equal rights and I've been married for 6 years and trust me if your argument against gay marriage is some BS about the "sanctity" of marriage, then go ahead and turn on your television and watch how many heterosexual people sell out their marriages for sponsor money on the bachelor or who wants to marry my useless son or something along the lines, so get off your highhorse if anything gay people deserve it more than we do.

I don't believe in any form of modern marriage. Paying a "fee" for a license that says you love each other and want to live together is rather ridiculous to me (I probably phrased that wrong XD).
I think Jon Stewart said it best when he said: "I was really against gay marriage, until I found out that I could stay married to my wife."
Honestly, I was surprised to find out they couldn't, that was years before it became an issue.
That said, I kind of hope the homosexuals can put that issue to the side if only to get the neo-cons to stop whining about it; I honestly think they make a bigger deal about it than the gays do, which says all sorts of weird things about them.
