WOW this thred is popular. Well, seeing as how I don't care cause I'm well straight, I put undecided. As long as they stay away from me, they can do whatever it is that they do.

Rai June 14th, 2007 4:57 PM

I am strongly support gay marriage. I believe that you should marry whoever the heck you want! It's your decision. Besides, loves goes way past gender... It's the personality of the person that matters.

And I am not exactly the straightest person in the world so yeah X3;

Virtual Headache June 14th, 2007 5:39 PM

I'm for it.
As long as both partners are in love with each other, they should be allowed to marry, no matter what their genders are.

Cherrim June 14th, 2007 6:12 PM

I support it 100%. I can understand why churches would be very reluctant to sanctify it officially under their religion, but I see no reason for any decent government to withhold a marriage license for a same-sex couple. They should have the same rights as heterosexual couples, I believe.

Drifblim June 14th, 2007 6:41 PM

I think I should clarify myself here.

I think the government should not deny a licence of any sort to couples just because they're gay. However, just to settle with institutions such as the church, marriage shouldn't even be a legal term.

Akio123 June 14th, 2007 7:33 PM

If two people love each other, regardless of Gender they should be able to marry.

Suki June 15th, 2007 10:22 AM

I'm okay with gay marriage. And like what most people said, if they love eachother then there is no problem.

Jaguarsfan2004 June 15th, 2007 2:56 PM

i'm not going to comment on it i love everybody

Timbjerr June 15th, 2007 10:01 PM

Meh...the word 'marriage' is suggestive of the religious sacrament. No valid religion in the world would allow a same-sex marriage. The term that people should be debating with is 'civil union', which is suggestive of a legal binding without any ceremony. Gay people can get as many civil unions as they want. I don't really care.

This does beg the question though...why would people get married anymore? Society is so flakked up that marriage is meaningless nowadays. What's the point of being married when the divorce rate is astronomical and the average person has more than 10 sexual partners in their lifetime?

Im Against it Sorry :)

I has my Reasons but i won't go Into them

Samurai X June 18th, 2007 7:21 PM

I am for gay marriage, that's all there really is to say for me. I don't really care about it actually. For me it's more like, "Let them do whatever the hell they want".

I'm sorry but that was extremely chauvinistic =\ You should support both genders; not just females because you think yuri is hot. Whatever, I am not trying to argue. That is just my opinion.

Aye, you just said my point!

In the end, who cares about the whole argument behind gender equality when you can stare at two girls getting married/kissing/*YAY*?

...I'm not sure if I am being sarcastic here.


But hey, it's a 17 year-old male thing.

TwilightBlade June 20th, 2007 9:42 AM

I'm against it. Don't really know why and don't really care... I don't really think humans should be that free and be able to marry whoever you want. There should be some easy rules to follow. Otherwise in the next few years, my dog is gonna be married to a human and that'll make me sad. D8

HellRaiser June 20th, 2007 10:29 AM

You're honestly comparing the marriage of two consenting human beings to the marriage of a human and a dog? Ugh.

Besides, humans invented marriage, so as long as it's not infringing on the rights of others, why can't they do what they want?

Exactly.

If two people are capable of falling in love and want to spend their lives together, regardless of the sexual preference, then why shouldn't they be allowed to marry?

Marriage doesn't have the same meaning in this day and age anyway. It's just something to do for a lot of couples, an excuse to have a celebration, then six months later they're filing for divorce. Heterosexual couples have disgraced marriage completely. At least most homosexual couples still recognise what marriage used to mean.

So if you look at it that way, homoseual couples deserve to have the right to marry more than heterosexual couples.

Yeah, you're right. That's pretty much how it is nowaddays.

I'm all for it. As long as they're truly in love, they should be able to get married. I can see the government's worry: if everyone becomes gay, the human race might die out >.>; But that's a bit too much...

Sexual preference isn't a choice, though, it's something you can't decide. And allowing gay marriage won't suddenly make everyone "become gay."

Exactly. But apparently, the government thinks too many people will marry the same sex if they allowed gay marriage. I'm not saying I think that, 'cause, well, everyone "becoming" gay is, like, never going to happen.

Red1530 June 20th, 2007 6:32 PM

I am against of Gay marriage. However I am for Civil Unions where the gay couple has the same rights as a married heterosexual couple.

I'm pretty sure homosexuality isn't some 20th century innovation. Look at ancient Greece.

Captain Arcane June 20th, 2007 8:46 PM
