Same-Sex Marriage!! Your Thoughts

As far as gay marriage goes, I think they should have the right to be just as miserable as the rest of us:)

There's no valid argument against allowing gay marriage. The only arguments against it are "it's gross" or "it's against my religion". Neither of which are close to valid.

Religion is one of the most divisive things on the planet. I ****ing hate it.

The fringe far far far far far right evangelicals among others were a huge reason Bush got elected twice so since then the Republican Party has pandered to their demands. It really is a shame. Romney seems alright though so if he gets elected he'll hopefully just worry about the economy and let the states vote on it which if done long enough will eventually result in legal gay marriage for most of the country.

I always kind of chuckle though at the concept of gay marriage, picturing a portion of the gay population thats against it. "Sorry....buddy I wish we could get married but it's illegal, damn Republicans" when inside they're thinking "Thank you God THANK YOU!"

That statement is correct excepting the fact that Bush got elected only once.

Another reason to hate the Giants.

Somebody should tell Dumbass Tyree that white plantation slave owners had the same thought about black people back in the day. Anybody else see the irony of a black man openly discriminating against another group?

NCSkins,... I do but at the same time I don't.

I'm in agreement with most here. "Marriage" is a reigious related sacrament. Let each church figure it out.

Govt. should have a simple civil union. Essentially a state sanctioned contract between two people to act partners in all family management issues.This. Plus what Longtime and OTM discussed on adoption and what SS and FRPLG mention on fiscal vs. social conservatives.

Agree.....There is a clear distinction between the religious rite of marriage and state-sanctioned civil marriage. The state's decision to allow same-sex couples to marry could never affect or change each religion's choices as to whom it will marry and on what terms.

The Roman Catholic Church will not marry a person who has been previously married and divorced. The fact that that person may divorce and remarry civilly does not, and cannot, affect the Roman Catholic Church's actions in any way. Similarly, when the government allows same-sex couples to marry, no church could ever be required to sanction such a marriage unless it chose to do so.

How is discrimination against a black person and a gay person any different?
