I am for gay marriage, completely without a question. If two people love each other, then what has the right to take that away from them, a right that has been given since birth that is craved from every human being put into existence? No one. I really do not understand people who against it, I just cannot see their side, it doesn't make sense to me. How does it ruin marriage? It doesn't. If you ask me, what ruins marriage is divorce; marriage is suppose to be two lovers binding together for eternity. And, last I checked, straight couples get divorced so...
To me, nothing matters as long as the two people involved are truly in love. Not gender, race, age, or any other thing. All that matters is the two love each other, and if they do, they should be permitted to be together, and to bind their love just as everyone else can.

I am openly gay, and totally for gay marriage.
I get a bit frustrated when people throw the religious argument around - that it violates the sanctity of marriage when two people of the same gender/sex want to get married - yet divorce - which is also a violation, seems to be more of a common place issue that IS harming children, young adults and even to a point the adults that engage in it. Sure, sometimes there is a huge issue in a marriage, abuse or clashes of personality that weren't there and cant be gotten rid of, it was an arranged marriage and things aren't working out ect... BUT the thing that seems to be the big problem is convenience - it's more convenient for some people to get a divorce rather than to bother trying to work through the issues as couples are supposed to. Biblically, divorce is a big no-no. It is a violation of the 'sanctity' of marriage. But that's beside the point.
Marriage has religious roots - so it's always going to be an issue when 'changes' are made to it's definition. Perhaps we need to do away with the 'institution' all together and have an equal piece of legislation that allows a union between two consenting non-related adults to be bound legally and recognised with the right tax benefits and adoption rights as is standard for official marriages now. If people want a religious ceremony, then they can go and be 'married' under the rights of their faith. Church groups, or other religious groups should have the freedom to refuse to have same-sex ceremonies on their hallowed ground - but they shouldn't have the right to stop it all together. If people want to celebrate like we do now with weddings - go for it!Call it marriage, but for crying out loud, don't remove a basic human right from people.
Religion is a personal choice, plenty of non-religious people get married. Marriage is a personal choice - a commitment between two consenting adults - should it matter what gender or race those two adults are? Personally, I think it shouldn't. Provided they're in it for the long haul.

darlindol17 May I ask exactly why you're against gay marriage? Is it because of religion or a legitimate reason? I'm against "it" (the subject of same sex marriage/union, not the people involved in it) because it is against the natural law and against God, the Creator of all things.
While the Bible does address homosexuality, it does not explicitly mention gay marriage/same-sex marriage. It is clear, however, that the Bible condemns homosexuality as an immoral and unnatural sin. Leviticus 18:22 identifies homosexual sex as an abomination, a detestable sin. Romans 1:26-27 declares homosexual desires and actions to be shameful, unnatural, lustful, and indecent. First Corinthians 6:9 states that homosexuals are unrighteous and will not inherit the kingdom of God. Since both homosexual desires and actions are condemned in the Bible, it is clear that homosexuals “marrying” is not God’s will, and would be, in fact, sinful.
Whenever the Bible mentions marriage, it is between a male and a female. The first mention of marriage, Genesis 2:24, describes it as a man leaving his parents and being united to his wife. In passages that contain instructions regarding marriage, such as 1 Corinthians 7:2-16 and Ephesians 5:23-33, the Bible clearly identifies marriage as being between a man and a woman. Biblically speaking, marriage is the lifetime union of a man and a woman, primarily for the purpose of building a family and providing a stable environment for that family.
The Bible alone, however, does not have to be used to demonstrate this understanding of marriage. The biblical viewpoint of marriage has been the universal understanding of marriage in every human civilization in world history. History argues against gay marriage. Modern secular psychology recognizes that men and women are psychologically and emotionally designed to complement one another. In regard to the family, psychologists contend that a union between a man and woman in which both spouses serve as good gender role models is the best environment in which to raise well-adjusted children. Psychology argues against gay marriage. In nature/physicality, clearly, men and women were designed to “fit” together sexually. With the “natural” purpose of sexual intercourse being procreation, clearly only a sexual relationship between a man and a woman can fulfill this purpose. Nature argues against gay marriage.
According to the Bible, marriage is ordained by God to be between a man and a woman (Genesis 2:21-24; Matthew 19:4-6). Gay marriage/same-sex marriage is a perversion of the institution of marriage and an offense to the God who created marriage.
Also, God is a God of love (1 John 4:8 ) and a just God. He hates not the sinner but the sin. Don't confuse love with lust, affection, friendship, infatuation, etc. This is love: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (1 Cor. 13:4)
