Again, Kudo's to you all for stating your beliefs!

One more point...(Can't speak for everyone here!!!) But for me, it's a heck of alot easier to say things in writing than it is face-to-face.

Sage, please check your FM

I see no reason why 2 people who love oneanother cannot marry. I do not see why 2 men or 2 women who choose to marry, are breaking the foundations of family in our country. ESPECIALLY when we have shows like Bachelor, Joe Millionaire, My Big Fat, etc.

Excellent point

---

OMG, you are soooo right! I absolutely OPPOSE stupid Bush's perspective on gay marriage, however I never thought of it in the terms you just stated! If he's so 'righteous' about the sanctity of marriage, than he should put a ban on reality shows that are making a mockery out of love and marriage!

The gay community does not deserve to suffer more at the hands of our government. They suffer enough on a daily basis, with judgement being passed on them from other citizens of this country.

I would like to hear the opinions of the people who voted no.

I think love is love and gay people should be allowed to be married. If we think about it interracial marriages used to illegal and that has changed.

---

I'm one of the ones who voted no.
I don't know...Maybe I'm traditional, maybe I'm old fashioned...I just don't think it's right...
I thought gay marriages already do occur-is it that they are just not officially recognized? I don't understand exactly what the fight is about...
I had a boss who was married to a man...And I do have friends who are gay...I don't mind it...But why make it official? On a seperate note...I actually don't think it's fair to be able to put your same sex partner on your medical insurance...That part just makes me crazy...
Where are the lines going to be drawn? What is next?

---

Oh MY GOD!! no offense, but if that's the case, then why are you getting married? I mean, why make it 'official?'

I think they should be allowed to get married. What is the big deal. I need a hear a real argument why they shouldn't. And Bush saying we should respect the institution of marriage is defintely not a good one. He should look at how st8 people are respecting the institution of marriage with the divorce percentages out there. geeeeeesh

---

His own brother (not jeb the other one) and ex-sister in law could not even respect the institute of marriage. Didn't one of them cheat on the other?

I think that it's fine. I don't mind homosexual marriages, commitments, relationships, etc.

Oh Lord. Here we go again More table turning.

I voted no... however, I do think they should be able to have a union, which gives them the same legal rights as married couples. Writing this down, though, I realize that there really isnt much of a difference between a marriage and a union, so why even have this distinction?

Let me refine my comment then. I think the state should allow gay marriage, but each religion, church, etc. should have the right to not recognize or perform such marriages. So gay couples can be legally married in city hall, but the church cannot be forced to do the same (unless they choose to).

On the other hand...What about people who are 'common law' married? Those people in that partnership have no legal rights to ANY benefits...

---

I believe it depends on the state.

cant we all just get along lol

seriously though.. not bashing, AT ALL, I'm just really curious, that's all.. I admit I replied rather prematurely in the thread, without having read hte entire thread, but just wanted to know..

I think that people think of what homosexuals do behind closed doors and that's what makes them think what they think, as opposed to looking at the bigger picture and realize that they should at least have a choice..

in answer to your question...i wanted the solid commitment from my boyfriend to love me and honor me (etc. etc. etc.) all the days of our lives...i wanted to promise myself to him and him promise himself to me from that moment on...you get the idea...i wanted to do this before god in church. in my church...

exactly, so why shouldn't they be allowed to do the same?

i have no solid answer for you.
it is a free country and people should be allowed to do what they want...i think the lines get blurred though when mixing church and state ...perhaps some things are not meant to be decided by the govt.
(i think this was mentioned earlier)
