heh yay!
I've always been a huge advocate of gay marriage. If benefits came with love, that would be one thing. Unfortunately in order to be protected as a spouse, to qualify for pensions or financial support, medical coverage, or in the case where children are involved, legal matrimony is a deciding factor. There is no reason at all people should be denied these things as committed partners just because post people involved happen to be male or female. Marriage is decided by more than physical sex, and there's no reason two people of the same gender can't share the responsibilities, love, and commitment that comes with a legal union.

finis.
Hope that helped in ANY way. hah. If I can answer any specifics regarding my opinions let me know.

It should be allowed at the civil level, at the least.

If churches don't want it, they don't have to allow it.

Besides, whatever happened to separation of church and state? It's not up to the churches to make laws to ban gay marriage.

Welp, I pretty much agree with what invisible and iki had to say.

I personally feel that sexual orientation has nothing to do with a persons rights. You just can't help who you love.

I don't really believe in marriage in general, not gay nor straight, nonetheless I think if people needs to have this kind of contract (either religious or civil contract) they should be able to make it, it doesn't matter if the couple is straight or homosexual.

People are entitled to the same rights as anyone else on paper, but not in reality. Illegal immigrants will never ascertain the same rights as I will because they're illegal immigrants. As long as I am in Texas and surrounded by individuals who find pride in the title "Good ol' boy"(I'm sure most of the people who read this won't even know what I'm talking about here..)I'll never be able to date someone of fairer skin without having a few eyebrows raised toward me, even though it should be my "right" to date whoever I choose and be free of persecution, in theory. On paper, Hillary Clinton should be able to run for president and have the fact that she is a woman not be a major issue. And on paper and in a perfect utopia, perhaps people should be able to marry whoever they want, regardless of religion, sexual orientation, or race, but in application, that just is not the case.

On one hand a part of my is sympathetic to the mantra that homosexuals should be able to marry yet the issue stirs up dichotomous feelings in me because of my own religious beliefs. I was taught that man + wife was the only acceptable term of marriage, just like I was taught that it is wrong to lie, wrong to murder, wrong to divorce(in some instances,) wrong to have premarital sex, wrong to drink like a glutton, and so many other vices that people have that have become part of the norm in a society such as ours. So... I predict that gay marriage will eventually be legalized as our country continues to move more and more toward social liberalism and my opinion will be that of the minority.
