Straight or Gay?

john_stolworthy

I am straight. I have no opposition to gay marriage. It's a matter of "equal protection under the law". Don't like gay marriage? Don't have one. Your personal preferences should have no legal precedence over the personal preferences of someone else unless their personal preferences violate the law.

for it, if two people are in love why does it matter whats in their pants

I could care less.

They should just have civil unions, and if people want to get married, they can, but it has to be a religious thing then

the civil unions should have all the benefits of today's marriage, except for the religious part. Unless of course the religion allows gay marriage

i dont care

tabithap

For it. I have no right to tell someone else who they can and cannot marry so long as the person(s) you are marrying are consenting adults.

It does not bother me, I am straight, and I think that if two people love each other and want to have a committed relationship (married or not), they should be allowed to do so, and in peace. There are far too many other things that need to be fixed in the United States, than have to worry about two guys or two girls loving each other.

totally support it.. and laugh at the argument some people have that marriage is about rasing kids.. why dont those people protest couples who are infertile, or couples who chose not to have kids, or couples who marry but are too old to have kids???

if gays get married how does it hurt anybody else????

I am straight and married

I am a straight but I believe that gay people should be allowed to their rights (under the Constitution) that "All men are created equal and are endowed by their creator to certain inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". I can remember when women were denied their rights under the Constitution, and African-Americans, too. Someday, we (as a country) will mature and stop denying gays theirs rights as well...and we are supposed to be the most civilized country in the world...sad

I support gay marriage. Its all about love and love has no boundaries.

for it.

I have no problems with it. Honestly don't see what the big deal is. (I'm a straight guy who has no desire to ever get married.)

As a gay man myself in the UK, I don't agree with it, why should my partner and I ape straight behaviour just to get the pensions and benefits we should be entitled too anyway.

Jen

well, as matthew perry's character said on studio 60, marriage is a celebration of two people's love and "civil unions" imply that a gay person's love is lesser than a straight person's. what someone does in their own home is none of my business. definitely for it. what if someone told me i wasn't allowed to marry my husband, seems weird? there's supposed to be a separation of church and state and in this case, that goes bye, bye, why?

CHURRO

HEy man i say who cares right. Why should ppl care about others peoples busniess man!. so i say If gay ppl wanna get married so gp fro it!. More power to ya!

I am for it - if we expect folks to pay taxes equally and join-in equally, seems fair to treat them equally.

Simple really.

If gay people want to be officially recognised as a couple, then why not? As to whether it should be called marriage or union or partnership or anything else...why should anyone care? It's just a name, and the important thing is what it signifies

Nice Guy

Most of us don't really care.It seem to me to be mostly a battle of semantics,neither side is willing to give an inch.

It'sMe23

All for it! What's the big deal??

rosi l

Against it. I do however, beleive gay union would be a more appropriate answer to the problem. Leave marriage alone.

T S

Any two people who care deeply and love one another should be able to make it "official" if they so chose.

lethander_99

Neutral to it here wouldnt affect my life either way, the only concern i could see is on adoptions most parents have enough problems talking about the birds and the bees, I think it may pose a problem having a child ask about how things work to his two dads, the child could possibly feel as if he is in the wrong since its not like the ppl who raised him/her there is no where near enough research for how it work either way, i'm not saying gays raising kids are a bad thing just a lot of uknowns could come into play

;-)

Against

Against it. I have no problems with gays having the same exact rights as hetero married couples, but don't call it marriage. Call it a union or whatever. Marriage is between a man and woman.

Gays should have PARALLEL rights. But they should not be allowed to change the meanings of any and all words that they find inconvenient. Just like the word 'Gay'. Why should they be able to destroy a Christmas Carol like 'Deck the Halls' just because they don't like homo or queer? Gay used to mean happy. Now nobody else can use it because of them. Now they want to do that to marriage? The purpose of marriage is to PRODUCE children. While they can indeed raise them, production is difficult when you don't have all of the appropriate equipment necessary. Let them have a 'civil union'. But not marriage. They can't have the entire language for themselves.

I love this. Gays are always complaining about 'straitght' intolerance. But look at all the thumbs-down THEY are so eager to put out there!

My opinion...isn't popular with the far-right conservatives, OR the far-left liberals.
I feel that a compromise would be the best solution. Civil unions or commitment ceremonies. Don't call it marriage.

hardhead

This is a issue that is not going to go away, a compromise is going to have to to made by both sides. Or we will never hear the end of it, which frankly I`m sick of hearing about it NOW. I personally believe that this is a gene they are born with. Give them a legal union that recognizes them as being *married,,,,as a couple* This keeps God out of it but still gives them the recognition and protection that all married people have. They, like all free people have the right to worship how they choose.They acquire material and financial property just like any TOGETHER couple does so they need this protection at least in the eyes of the court system. THAT`S MY OPINION AND I`M STICKING TO IT
