    It's important for straight people to get married if they're going to raise children. It's the very foundation of every society. It keeps men in check and protects the rights of women who can't work with young children at home. It also guarantees that neither partner can just walk away without painful legal consequences. We all know that divorce is at an all time high and yes, many straight couples are ruining the whole thing for everybody. I don't think it's a bad idea to allow gay marriage at all, if you’re in love, if you plan to raise children and want to be together forever. I only question the whole idea of Why Gay Men would Want to get married in the first place? We can't logically say, "for the same reasons straight people want to." Marriage is serious business for most couples because it means absolute monogamy. Straight marriages have “Rules” that can’t be broken. They know any extramarital sex will be a fatal mistake, and they must work very hard to keep their relationships alive. On the flip side, Lesbians may value the institution of marriage “til death do they part” but men are making the whole thing up. I've never met a gay man who was monogamous no matter what they tell you. I could count on one finger the number of straight men I see who are happily married, they only do it because women insist on it. Women dream of getting married, men dream of having sex every night. Are we so delusional that we can't see that a married gay man has no intention of living with the same limitations as a married straight man? Why then the mad fervor to call a civil union a "marriage?" Why are so many men who can't even get a date on the verge of tears because they can't get married? Please, go ahead and take your solemn marriage vows for all eternity... just don't get mad at me when we see the astronomical numbers for gay divorce. I am a gay man and I know how this works. Falling in love is easy... living with one human being for the rest of your life is another story. Having the option to leave when it’s over, without tedious legal consequences seems a whole lot smarter to me. I’ll vote for your right to get married my friend, but don’t be surprised if nobody ever asks you to marry them, or if they change their mind shortly down the road. Gay men will soon discover marriage is more than a fun ceremony… and divorce is a real bugar.
