i dont nessesarily think it's right but i respect it cause it's they're own disisions

I think they're overrated, just like regular marriages.

What I think gays should do is this: Avoid marriage... there is no safety in that institution... INSTEAD work on creating wills, insuarence companies & what ever else they need to take care of thier needs...

I would like to see them outlawed.

Anyone dumb enough to want to be married should be allowed to.

Nothing wrong with it :-) It should be legal everywhere, equal rights for all. Note to trolls, please press the (-) button on the right, Hope it makes you feel good :-p

Wrong because god made us to be men with women and women with men.I mean how will the children of god will be born?

All of these questions have been answered already just not in one area. I think that marriage is a religious union and should only be done according to one's beliefs. I don't think the state has any business in it. I believe that civil unions should be allowed for people who want to merge their lives; and should give all the privileges currently given to married people to them. As far as being right or wrong goes, that is a moot point. That is up to God to decide. It should be legal for people to have the legal protections that marriage allows no matter who the gender of the couple. There should be separate qualifications for merging lives. And if you want the religious ceremony then that is up between you and your mate. The state should have no say in it. In some places they have separate ceremonies for civil and religious purposes. I think that is the way to go.

I don't understand why it's illegal. Should marriage between black and white people be legalized? Oh, wait, we did that.

"Should it be legalized?" Well where I am from, it is legal. A few people seemed to be upset when it happened, then just shut up about it. It didn't change anything for anybody except the people who were getting married. Gay people have the right to be together in the same way any consenting adults do and I think it was a huge step towards giving homosexuals the right to talk about what they did on vacation with their partner just like everybody else at work does. They are normal people and don't need to be treated as abnormal.

What do I think of Gay Marriage? Well it leaves a disproportionate number of women available for straight guys. Should it be legalised? Only in places its not already been legalised. It is right? Right/Wrong, lets just let god sort us all out when our time comes.

Hi, it should be legal everywhere, we are not after special treatment just to be equal

Everyone should have an equal chance at misery.

Yes, I do think it should be legalized & I can't see anything wrong with it at all

Its important that equally legal rights exist for same sex couples.

I think gay marriage should be legalized, I see nothing wrong with it. I see a problem with people who are against it though.

As a believer in Christ this is my opinion. We all have free will. To believe what we want. That is a religious issue and I see no reason why our beliefs are being intertwined into the basic need of a life partner here on earth. His word teaches a sin is a sin and for those who think being gay is "wrong" .. look to the log in your eye before pointing out the speck in another's. The Old Testament many go by was not of Jesus' laws and Jesus' laws are of love and faith and against evil. How is loving someone and wanting a life with them and being faithful to that person EVIL? He wants us to have life partners! For anyone .. especially those who call themselves Christian.. to judge a gay person as evil, that is a sin as His Word teaches that we should not judge as we are mere flesh and not able to judge with a pure heart as He. I do not believe the government or any other body should dictate who our life partners are or whether it is legal or not to spend our lives committed to someone irregardless of their sex. If we have freedom of religion and free will then why are they allowed to take that away from us just because we do not agree on religious issues?? That shows that we are controlled by another's religious beliefs when we are supposed to have FREEDOM of RELIGION! The shoe could have been on the other foot and I could be prevented from marrying the person I want to spend my life with just because we are opposite sexes. THAT IS NOT RIGHT. I believe the Christian beliefs in the Bible.. not the beliefs of many Christian people. The Word tells me not to judge others and that He knows their hearts and everyone else's hearts and does not judge as man does.. therefore to me.. who we marry or what sex they are, has nothing to do with who we are on the inside. How is choosing a life partner wrong? What a big step for ANY person to take. For someone to commit to one person for life is beautiful, faithful and not to be taken lightly. Everyone should have the right and religion should not have a place in it. STOP using God as an excuse to control how others live!!! God should only be used in LOVE. For all things and in ALL ways. God loves us all and the little crap we use to pick each other apart and try and belittle each other with.. is NOT His ways! Live and let live and make it equal to all.

Of course, civil marriage should be legal for same-sex couples. So many panic about this - thinking a church will be "required" to marry a same sex couple... that is not true... this is NOT about religion - it is about finance and civil protection.

i think if man and women were put on this earth to reproduce thats the way it should stay. It would be ok if everybody stopped complaining about it to straight people hey im just answering the question

Its gay. :) Im for it; as should everyone!

Its Adam and Steve or Madam and Eve NOT Adam and Eve ^_^

I'm gay and married..that about says it all.

I've got no problem with it :-) Everyone is equal, and the sooner some people realise that is 2007 and not 1907 the better :-)

That people should worry more about their education and less about other people's business.

strongly opposed

I think it's one step closer to true equality. Go gay marriage!

My opinion doesn't really matter [though I am a supporter]. What matters is the Constitution, which is in place to guarantee the EQUAL rights of all US citizens. Since marriage is a legal right of the state (govt), it is subject to the Constitution. So all should have the same rights; unfortunately, the current administration prefers to support state-sponsored discrimination. Marriage is marriage. Love is love. All should be equal.

i completely for people being able to marry whoever they want. so im complet5ely for it, yes.

I am for allowing them to marry if they want to.

gay marrige should be legalized! People oppose and say that its not right and that its unethical. But do they know that murders, rapists, convicted felons and even child molesters are allowed to be married and raise children with out any protesting. Making gay marrige illegal is a really hypocritical law that shows how biased our government is. For the people out there who are against gay marrige let me ask you this Besides not following your belifes "How does gay marrige effect you personaly at all?" if your thinking well i just plain don't like gay people. well let me tell you married or not these people are still gay So why shouldn't they be happy?

I don't! It's none of my business or not for me to judge! I think that people should be able to do what they want to do unless it is hurting someone else...

Gay marriage should be legalized. There are more homosexuals in the world that we know there are. And they do deserve the same rights as anyone else does. My girlfriend and I want to get married, but we can't, unless we go to Canada. But it's not fair that the government looks down at us, as if we were just rodents. It's like dude, we're people just like you. Gay marriage should be accepted. There is so many people that are looking for a miracle to come, to take a chance to legitimize their relationship.

Strange to me. Personally I find the 'gay' lifestyle unnatural and repulsive, but I attribute these feelings to my upbringing and the fact that I am heterosexual. However, my personal views should by no means dictate how others live thier lives. Marriage, like anything else has evolved through the ages. Modern marriage has become more a legality than anything else and therefore gay couples should probably be entitled to the married status if they intend to live within it's legal definition, as any other couple does.

I think it would be lovely if I had my civil rights to marry the person I love.... Although I'm old enough to know that Marriage (or any relationship) takes commitment, love, energy, compromise in order to actually WORK OUT for everyone involved. Folks are folks and we ALL make the same silly, usually selfish, mistakes with those we claim to love... Would I love my partner MORE if we could and did Marry? Probably not more...Would we be MORE secure in our relationship? Probably not...Would intimacy be more wonderful, exciting? I don't think so.... But, I would know we were willing to stand before friends and family and commit our life and love to each the other...and as a Citizen of my country...I would know that I had the same RIGHTS as I did once upon a time...years and years ago....

9th Circuit Overturned. Again.

Whatever floats your boat...

Great. Now even gay people will get married before I do. 2nd thought...they need love too!

No, absolutely not! I fricken hate going to weddings (getting dressed up and wondering if you spent enough on the gift) and that will just mean a higher likelyhood of my having to go to one.

Oh goodie, we're talking about this again...

live and let live

"Can I be best man"?

how can you have kids?

"Oh god, not another gay marriage question..."

I'm for it.

I think the question is all about equal rights, for instance: "should a homosexual couple be afforded the same, simple rights that are given to heterosexual couples?". If you don't believe that they should, then that is just plain intolerance.

It should be legal and it should be treated the same as man/woman marriage!

Why not? It does not hurt me!

I personally don't believe in marriage, but I strongly believe, that gay couples should be able to support each other on a legal level.

I'm gay and married. It works for me.

I am for it. If it cuts down on gay promiscuity it will cut down on AIDS and other VDs. I support the Gays even though I am quite heterosexual. I am on their side to defend them because they are people too and they are my friends too. I know that it is not a disease; it's how you are born. I support all of my gay friends. You all have a strong understander in your corner. I just love people and to hate gays just because they don't believe what I do is pretty pathetic. They have taught me to respect and understand their different lifestyle and I am there for them because they have won my heart and I Love them as people. I Kevin the Heterosexual will stand solid with you all and support your rights becasue I know that is just the way you are and it is pathetic to change someone that cannot and will not be changed.

I think that I care as much about other people's relationships as they care for mine.

Completely Ungodly and against God and a sin in the bible and in the eyes of God, but it is not my sin. I will not tell others that I am sin free, just different sins.

I'm for equality for all citizens under the law. Therefore, I believe that any 2 consenting adults should be allowed to marry regardless of gender.

Any two Adults should be able to marry, without regard to race, color, creed, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, mental or physical disability.

A marriage is between a man and a woman.

It's good. Why in the world should society try to discourage people from having loving relationships? Straight people certainly don't appreciate the value of marriage, so I don't understand why so many of them begrudge gay people for wanting that privilege.

Good, gay couples have every right to have the same legal protections and benifets as straight couples. And if they want gay couples to go through a different process to get the same protections, that's separate but equal, which is always seperate, and never equal.

Bad

cool its hollywood

Bad, b/c you're changing the definition of 'marriage' to whatever you want it to be.

I believe that ANY two persons who are legally old enough should be permitted to MARRY .... without regard to race, Creed, Color, Sex, National Orgin, and /or Sexual Orientation . After all , STRAIGHT Parents gave birth to them .... And; how will it bother YOU ? YOU aren't sleeping in their bed , are you ? EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL !! (Including Marriage )

What do you think of marrige? Good/Bad? Why

I think it shouldn't be discussed by anyone who isn't gay and wanting to get married. It's their business and nobody else's.

What do I think of gay marriages or what do I think gay marriages are? I fully support equal rights for gay couples under the law. So long as marriage is part of the legal system, they should be allowed to marry. I do have an alternative to it, but few people seem to be picking up the banner for it. Regarding what gay marriages are, they are the same as opposite sex marriages expect both parties are the same sex. Would I have one? No, I'm a hetero. Would I go to one? Absolutely.

I think this question is missing something, like a preposition. I think marriage rights should be the SAME for all citizens, otherwise the Constitution is meaningless. This is because the legal status of marriage is given by the state. I have nothing to say about the religious ceremony that optionally accompanies some legal statuses. That can change, or not; no biggie to me.
