Gay Marriage

Everyone is equal man, gay or not, let them marrie so what?

I'm bi, but I think the literal term of marriage is the union of a man and a woman, both of which assume different jobs within the marriage. Therefore I don't agree with it.

Sure most kids get bullied about something but a kid having 2 dads would sure as hell attract a lot more bullying. Plus I don't think 2 dads can give what 1 mum & 1 dad would give in a family, thus I think gay people adopting is wrong.

You cannot judge parent skills on gender, So if there is both gender parents i still think it would be the same, thats like saying "a ginger peson would bring up children better" It about the person he/she self and how they would bring up a child.

Actually, I dont see why not..If your in love, celebrate it..

That is so right

I think it's okay, if you're so deeply in love with someone you should be able to get married just like man and woman. It's not just about your gender.

I don't personally see why not. As people have said, marriage celebrates love, so why not celebrate it through marriage as heterosexual couples do. Although, I do see the other arguement, I just don't choose to agree with it.

Following on from a post I just read and thinking about it - do you think gay marriage is right?

I don't think it's right personally. I don't have anything against homosexuals in particular so don't start with the homophobic jibes. I just don't believe it's right for 2 women / 2 males to get married. Marriage is a ceremony that in my opinion should only be for heterosexuals. Comments/discussion.

I kinda agree, if they love each other enough then they don't really have to get married because all its really changing is there second name, and like you say marriage is between a male and a female No offense to any homosexuals.

There's nothing wrong with it anyway..and:

totally agreed, as long as they love the child, it doesnt matter on their sexuality, or who the parents are.

The best thing you can give a child is love, and if two homosexuals can give it, i dont see why they cant adopt a child?

What I dont get about the "marriage isnt supposed to be that way" arguement, is that 2/3rds of all marriages (here in the U.S. anyway) end in divorce. Thats a bigger abomination of marriage, so why arent there anti divorce protests like there are for gay marriage? Because 2/3rd is a hell of a lot more than the very small number of gay people getting married.

I dont see how it hurts anyone.

Personaly, i dont belive in marrage for a start, to me its pretty meaningless, and equals little more than a legal contract with some persudo religios connotaions tapped on the end.
But, if a gay couple wish to marry, i dont see any reason they should have less right to do so than anyone else, who so wishes. Although in my own eyes, i dont actualy really understand the differnce between it and the already provide civil partnership, other than the venue and possibly a viccar "/

I believe marriage is about love and not gender. If they're in love I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to get married.
