What's unnatural about two people in love wanting to get married? Your current answer is prejudiced enough, so I don't think you have to worry about your other answer.Seems too unnatural to me, so I'll say no opinion since my other answer would seem prejuduce which isn't fair.

Hahaha, what are you talking about? I think you mean "if they are in love they should be together", or something more along those lines.I don't really care about marriage at all so I'm not the one to ask this question, but I have nothing against homosexual people, so if there was a vote I suppose I might vote to support their rights.yes cuz if theyre gay then they should be together

Marriage by the Christian bible is between a man and a woman, but thats not a true marriage is. If you share a deeper connection with someone it shouldn't matter if they are the same sex, that person is your partner/husband/wife. Too much emphasis is put into the word marriage and should really be abolished as a term.

Sure, it should be allowed. Marriage has already deviated so far from its original form, and while I would much prefer to see it return to its most traditional state, there's no help for that.

I believe it should be. Love is love no matter who you are or what sex your with, and for people who talk and say they can't make children ADOPTION. i have lots of gay friends and i think they should have the same rights as me or anyone else :]]

Uhhhn, I thought my cousin Bobby Ray was homophobic, and he lives in Montana. Any way, I thought I should revive this thread. I, being Atheist, don't really understand this topic. To me it is hardly a religous matter, and more of a civil matter, I mean why not? Sure gay people can make even some of the most liberal people uncombfortable, but it's who they are, who are we to tell them that they can and can't do.Can someone explain to me exactly how being gay is an omen for the impending doom of humanity?I'm a male, so i think gays SHOULD NOT have the right to marry, it's disgusting seeing two men hugging each other, and kissing?! We're doomed!

Yes. End of story. If they cant marry maybe we should ban interracial marriages and marriages to non US citizens. Yeah right... oh wait we did that already... +_+

Why don't you want gay people to have that privilege? As for marriage being sacred, yeah, that's the idea. But have straight people really done a good job of keeping it sacred? Letting gays get married might actually improve the batting average of successful marriages and make it seem like a more viable route for loving couples to take.I seriously doubt it, I dont want gays to have that previlege, I mean isnt that a sacred thing

I think that are both sides of marriage here, the legal one, and the religious one. Legaly speaking i think that is no reason why gay people shoudn´t marry, is ridiculous. But now, they´re not gonna be entering churches dressed as groom and, well, yeah......... cause thats to each religion to say its fine or not.

No, they should not. Getting married isn't even a right for anyone. It's a gift that God has given to couples (meaning one man and one woman).

devilboy's correct. the only way it could effect you is if you're still confused about your sexuality.whether it be natural or it its their problem, not yours, so why screw someone else over when it doesnt really affect you.
Technically, no. A marriage is the joining of a person to another person to let eachother know that they both love eachother 'til death. Hence the phrase when you get married.I seriously doubt it, I dont want gays to have that previlege, I mean isnt that a sacred thing
that made me chuckle NameDisplay, you're funnyLetting gays get married might actually improve the batting average of successful marriages and make it seem like a more viable route for loving couples to take.
and oh so true. so sadly sadly true.

So? Religion is supposed to be separate from state affairs. I don't know if you know this, but people were getting married long before the Bible, the Torah, and the Qur'an were written, which means that your god doesn't suddenly get to redefine marriage.No, they should not. Getting married isn't even a right for anyone. It's a gift that God has given to couples (meaning one man and one woman).

I hate this kind of question...do gays have the right to marry. As though gays were some sort of alien species. That's like asking do gays have the right to breath, eat, or take a dump. Of course gays have the right to marry. Marriage is a sacred declaration of love. Anything that lives and can feel love, has the right to love. Anything that has the right to love, also has the right to marry.

Marriage is a legal union, not a necessary bodily function like the things you've compared it to. Therefore, whether or not gays should have the legal right to marry is a perfectly valid question. Beyond that, there are other restrictions on marriage as well. A person does not have the right to marry their blood relative, or someone who is incapable of understanding what marriage entails. These people are still capable of loving.I hate this kind of question...do gays have the right to marry. As though gays were some sort of alien species.

You bring up excellent points. However, pointing out that marriage is a legal union makes such a question even more atrocious. Why should gays be denied the same basic legal rights afforded to any other human being? It's true that blood relatives are not allowed to marry each other, but there's no law prohibiting them to marry at all. Two mentally capable, non blood-related, consenting adults, should have the right to marriage.Marriage is a legal union, not a necessary bodily function like the things you've compared it to.

Do you even know what you just said? Or what he said?No there is no law prohibiting straight people from marrying. However there are laws prohibiting gay marriage. Also, a marriage between blood relatives, aka, sisters, brothers and parents, would be considered Incest, which is "taboo" in our current society. Unless you live in Utah.Technically, gays do have the same legal rights as heterosexuals. There is no law prohibiting a homosexual individual from marrying.
