I voted yes.Why shouldn't 2 people who
love each other be able to get married?
Becasue its not the norm?Becasue its not
proper? Well sometimes,the norm sucks and

Absolutely, yes. I believe in absolute
equal rights. None of this "civil union"
bullcrap. It's either 100% equal or
against our constitution.
I'm so sick of people whining about the
"sanctity of marriage". Has anyone
bothered to notice the divorce statistics
lately? And these statistics are from
straight marriages. If you
can get married in .Vegas for $40, the
sanctity is gone. Just let people be
happy.

I'm of a different belief system, so I
won't post what I really think, just say
that I don't support it. I will not
argue my beliefs here.

I voted yes, if you're in love it
shouldn't matter! I think the states or
whatever that are against it are
rediculous.

Kay, I was hoping this could be a mature
adult discussion so please feel free to
post your beliefs. But I understand that
this will most likely get out of hand, as
every other serious topic does, so I guess
I don't blame you for not wanting to
share. Thank you for at least telling us
that you don't support it.

Yes, someone super close to me is a
lesbian. Plus I just believe love is
love. It should be racially, religiously,
and umm sexually? That didnt come out
right blind.

I said yes, but let me clarify a little.
To me marriage in it's correct sense is
holy matrimony between a man and woman for
the purposes of procreation.
Religion should not change to fit people.
Religion is thousands of years old and you
either join it for what it is you you
choose not to.
"marriage" outside of the church is not
marriage in it's truest sense - it is a
civil partnership - a contract.
I do not judge people on their choice of
"togetherness" - do what is right for
you.
I won't get married because I am agnostic
as is steve. To be married in a church
here you need to be part of the church. I
refuse to "pretend" to belong to someone
elses religion for my own gains - that to
me is just wrong.
So, I won't get married. I also won't get
a civil partnership because it just
doesn't cut it for me.
But we have a gay couple who are good
friends who did recently get "married" at
a civil ceremony.
So when I say yes, I do think they should
be allowed to get "married" in the eyes of
the law but not in the eye of the
church.
Does that make sense?

it will never stay mature here, lol! I
just wanted you to know that I was the one
that voted no. Everyone preaches
tolerance for everything else but people
really aren't tolerant of one another.
Now while I have no problem with people
being homosexual, i, because of my
beliefs, can not support it. I am
tolerant of others but others are not so
tolerant of me thanks for your
understanding!

Yes, definitely. A gay couple should have
the same rights as a heterosexual
couple.
Gay marriage is legal in the .U.K now, and
rightly so.. But I support the
legalisation of it all over the world.

as long as you dont gay bash I dont care!
Like you said youre tolerant. I have a
question you dont have to answer if you
dont want, but would you allow a gay
person near your baby?

I actually figured it was legal in the
states too now (in the eye of the law but
not the church).
Because elton john and his fella got
married.
I guess he must have done that here then.
