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 Wink 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.

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.
