Pro marriage two people who are married to each other; "a married couple with love" marriage the state of being a married couple voluntarily joined for life (or until divorce); "a long and happy marriage"; marriage a close and intimate union; online dictionary.com LOOK IT UP! it does not say anything about just men and women!and besides america is the melting pot of the world why should marriage and a religion entertwin when we know not everyone has the same one!or why should our laws be wrapped around a biased based idea!if you dont agree with gay marrige dont go to one. no one will be forced to particapate in a gay marriage. but the option should be their for those who it refers to. what if the situation was reversed and you really loved a girl/boy and you never wanted to be with any one else but you wern't allowed to get married becuase it was not natural in the gasy communtiy. would that be fair? of course not. so why does it make it right for people to do the same becuase its not a striaght couple. it its still unfair and unjust for gays to be singled out and treated differntly! dont you agree? Con Why should men be with men why not women , also why should women be with women not men ? that is not natural .I think that by rights men should not be with men, but by nature should be with women. Please back up your statement about gay rights and marriage .These need to be somehow supported and backed up. also you need to clarify what you think is a union between men and men and women and women ,because in most states this union is being supported. please tell me what you mean.Can you support and tell me why men should not be with women! |

Pro men should marry men and women should marry women if they are gay you are not gay so why should you care marry a women if you want to gays are not tring to control that for you. you ask me to back up my statements but really you need to backup yours. all you are giving me are biased religious opinions. all I'm saying is that if you are gay you should be allowed to marry whom ever you want to. I'm not saying that straight people are not allowed to marry because i don't like it so why are you? doesn't that sound unfair? so what you don't agree with gay marriage but some do. and its not fair for people to not be able to marry whom they want because some people think its a abomination or whatever you ask me to back it up? any one can see that the treatment of gays aren't fair. STOP being biased! and let gays be. no one said you or anyone has to be apart of a gay marriage. your life wont change at all! so why do you feel it it fair for you to marry but gays cant! i strongly believe in equality for every one and i thought so was my country. why do you not believe in equality? because what you and many people are doing are stating that its not right for gays to marry. that's not equal. tell me a true statement on why gays cant marry but nothing about your religions belief and god(because that does not apply to every one) or anything that is biased. can you? Con I am not biased toward anyone, for you to insinuate that I am prejudice toward anyone Gay or Straight is a character attack, that assumption is dead wrong. My being Gay or Straight has nothing to do with my opinions. Those are just what I think. My opinions are informed and not biased. In 38 other states Gay's are already getting rights and marriages, so what is your argument. My argument is that we are all equal and being Gay has nothing to do with that. So Gay Marriage and rights are not a real arguement. Fairness has nothing to do with being Gay or Straight it has to do with being human and decent toward others. |

Oh and biological basis of behaviour does not equal a medical dysfunction; if that was the case then all personality would be a medical disorder. Homosexuality is not a disease, it does not require a cure, what is needed is tolerance from ignorant individuals like yourself.
Sterile straight couples aren't sterile by choice. Their goal was obviously to raise a family, otherwise they would never have known that they were sterile.
Also, you misunderstood me earlier point. I wasn't talking about heterosexual couples, I was talking about two heterosexual men forming a kind of "civil union." If two heterosexual men can't receive the benefits of marriage, then why should two homosexual men receive those benefits?
I don't have much to say on the subject of gay adoption other than that, given the choice, I wouldn't want to be adopted by a gay couple. Homosexuality has clear medical causes and should be classified as a mental disorder. That, I suppose, is an interesting debate in and of itself.
What about sterile straight couples then? If they can not have children, is their marriage wrong? Or what about straight couples that choose not to have children? What about those that give up their children for adoption? Or have abortions?
And *slaps forehead* STRAIGHT COUPLES ALREADY HAVE STATE BENEFITS FROM MARRIAGE!
The whole point of the benefits of marriage is to encourage and nurture families, which are the backbone of civilization. Extending that to homosexual couples accomplishes the exact opposite.
Marriage is a religious ceremony. If you are not religious, then why participate in it? Yes, marriage is also a civil contract, but the civil contract itself is a direct outgrowth of the religious ceremony. Nobody is preventing gays from doing anything, other than desecrating that ceremony.

Where do you live that you think one of the main motivations for marriage is because it's wrong to have sex outside of marriage? That's certainly not one of the primary motivations for most couples that get married, so there goes that argument.
