Are you for same sex marriage or against it ?
Personally I don't care. If you love someone and want to commit your life to them, good for you.

It doesn't bother me at all, as long as marriages stop at human-human. Once people start marrying their dogs or a tree I will throw a fit.

Give them a civil union and all the rights of a marriage but don't call it a marriage.

Once again I find myself agreeing with FUCKTARD. If 2 guys or 2 hot chicks want to get married, I say let them be as miserable as the rest of us. I remember this from Chris Rock's act "Can't get married, can't fight in the military! Who's got it better than that?!"

I think it's ridiculous that there is still even a debate about it. I say if two consenting adults want to be married, then let them. Besides, aren't there all kinds of laws about discrimination? Seems to me that denying people the right to be legally married is pretty discriminatory. Nice double standard there.

Seems to me that denying people the right to be legally married is pretty discriminatory. Nice double standard there. I totally agree this is the government saying one religion in better than another. I also think gays should be allowed to serve openly in the military. I was in the Navy for five years as a corpsman (medic) and there were a few guy/bi sailors onboard ship. They never bothered me, and one was probably the best sailor I ever served with. He was sailor of the quarter and I think sailor of the year once. However, when he came out, he was discharged despite all his years of outstanding service. |

Actually, I did think about my answer. I just didn't think it was necessary to add anything about icky incest. I'll fix it now for you... I say if two consenting, unrelated to each other adults want to be married, then let them. Is that better? ;D |

I'm sure that would probably be extended to same sex marriage as well |

Are you for same sex marriage or against it ? Personally I don't care. If you love someone and want to commit your life to them, good for you. Agreed, it's no one's business who marries whom. If people are uncomfortable calling it marriage..fine, at least give them equal rights. I believe the Declaration of Indepedence states "All men are created equal", not "All men are created equal, unless you love another man." |

Does it really matter if gay couples want to get in on the joke? |

Sorry this is long, but I think the following reasons point out the absurdity of the ban on gay marriage. Who effing cares?
"Top 16 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong
16. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
15. There are plenty of straight families looking to adopt, and every unwanted child already has a loving family. This is why foster care does not exist.
14. Conservatives know best how to create strong families. That is why it is not true that Texas and Mississippi have the highest teen birthrates, and Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire have the lowest. This is a myth spread by the liberal media.
13. Marriage is a religious institution, defined by churches. This is why atheists do not marry.
12. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why our society has no single parents.
11. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
10. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
9. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
8. Gay marriage should be decided by the people and their elected representatives, not the courts. The framers checked the courts, which represent mainstream public opinion, with legislatures created to protect the rights of minorities from the tyranny of the majority. Interference by courts in this matter is inappropriate, just as it has been every time the courts have tried to hold back legislatures pushing for civil rights.
7. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because "separate but equal" institutions are a good way to satisfy the demands of uppity minority groups.
5. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
4. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
3. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
2. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
1. METEORS and VOLCANOES."

Wait, did you people take those reasons seriously?
Those are jokes making fun of the obsurdity of the whole "anti-gay marriage" movement. They take common points that the anti-gay marriage people use and show why those points don't really make sense at all. Wow, I'm going to laugh (and then maybe cry) if people actually take this assinine list and use it to support there anti-gay agenda...
