Same-sex marriages will allow homosexuals to get married and adopt kids, like straight couples are allowed to do. I'm for legalization of same-sex marriage, and it was recently legalized here in Norway.

my only exception is that marriage is a religous tring first and foremost, and the relifgon in question dislikes gays. a

I'm not religious and believe in marriage. Marriage isn't a purely religious thing.

Disagreed.











One gay thread on the first page is enough, no?

To paraphrase Jefferson, "It neither harms me nor picks my pocket" to allow fudge-packing queer-boys, to get married.

one must assume that female-female unions would also be allowed...

I would be interested to see your phrasing for that one

against both....though my stance doesn't affect how i'd operate within the constrains of society...which is why i advocate giving monogamous homosexual relationships the same rights as monogamous heterosexual relationships.

there's no difference in the relationships, really. it's kinda funny that even with homosexual relationships (many of them, anyways), there still seems to be a defined masculine and feminine role.

i dont see why gays cant be lifemates on paper. oooo cause the bible says its wrong? oh boo hoo. im not gay so it really doesnt concern me but ill tell you what, i dont think marriage should give you tax advantages. i swear, its like im punished for being single and responsible enough not to contribute to the overpopulation of the earth.

If a government recognizes marriage then it should be applied fairly to all who's government this is.

Churches can marry someone or not if they want, but if they want THEIR marriages recognized by a government, then they should adhere to the government's guidelines for marriage. Otherwise, the government should not recognize a religious marriage.

I'm sure Ragtime will wade in here with his 'marrying animals and animate objects' type comments... or maybe not

But marriage to me is a contract between two humans... that's it.

As for special favors for being married...

I can tell that being married is not necessarily better financially than being single.. even considering taxes in the U.S.

When it comes to supporting a family... Parents and children... I have always thought the idea for 'breaks' was for helping families succeed financially because of the extra financial burdens from raising a family.

I would like to see more options for everyone in the U.S. in regards to paying taxes and where your tax money goes, i.e. military budget, special interest programs, etc.

But... if we just allow everyone to decide where to spend their taxes in regards to supporting our government, this would probably kill off more good programs/departments than bad ones.

How does "carpet munching vagina bogarts" sound?

What people forget is that homosexual people's brains work like the opposite sex. It is only a choice for some. Sure, churches can ban gay marriage if they want (although similar to their racist views i'm sure this will soon change) but government should provide a reasonable alternative to church marriage.

dunno about the church part but all the legal rights should be made available to both hetero and homosexual partners.

no polygamy, though....the idiots we have in office can barely write a single law as it is rather less trying to cover such a complicated issue as a polygamous relationship and how to handle rights and citizenship and all of that. not that i'm against it...if you want to have the ceremony and live with however many partners, that's your own choice but the legal rights...no.

I don't believe in state sanctioned marriage. Most marriages end in divorce, disaster or death.

I think if people want to be together, they should be allowed to do so, not obligated to sign a contract, legally bonding, resulting in huge lawyer fees and lots of financial pain for those involved in the future.

Marriage doesn't really mean anything to the state, and it is unfair to give people special privilege for signing a legal contract with someone they will hate 1, 5, 10, or 15 years down the line.

sounds classy

Marriage should only be restricted to age and consent, I think, not sex nor gender. We should never marry children, but gays marrying is different than marrying kids, since it's implied it's between consenting adults. But I think that's a given that children shouldn't be wed, but someone told me if we let gay people marry then it'll escalate to children, then pets, then corpses. Oh the slope is so slippery.
