TOPIC: Opinion on Gay marriage?

Arexxx

I saw a topic about inter racial relationships and was surprised to see some people against the idea. So now I'm curious as to what people think about gay marriage

I can't say that I give a **** who other people get married to.

marry whoever makes you happy... shouldnt matter their race, gender, sexual preference, etc.

Marriage Equality* - marriage is marriage.

I think at the moment, the law comes across as treating any non-heterosexual relationship as "less than" which doesn't make sense considering it's generally considered wrong to discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation. If gay people want to get married, and can find a celebrant willing to marry them, I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to do so.

I don't really care which two people are bound by a legal civil union to protect their rights and freedoms and to declare their relationship publicly to friends and family... just please don't insist that a church or other religious institution that doesn't support same-sex relationships conduct the ceremony.

I was hoping for some hard core religious people to get offended and start screaming "IT'S A SIN".
But it seems that the MFP community is more mature than that. Nice ^_^

That or they don't want to get tomtaoes thrown at them for expressing a different opinion. ^_^ Just sayin'.

For it

I see this topic going badly...

Other than that I don't care who dates who, who marrys who, who sleeps with who... just be happy and that's all I really care about.

My DH says that gay people have just as much right to be as miserable as the rest of us. Let them marry! LMAO

That said, I'm participating in a gay wedding next summer. My BFF from college needs me to be his Hag of Honor :drinker:

I am neutral If two people of the same sex are in love good for them, let them get married..

btw I read a thing in the News Paper this morning about how gay marriages have a higher success rate..

well I for one am going to hope that my gay son will someday find a mate and be able to be "married". I too feel any couple deserves to be considered married and offered the same benefits (e.g health insurance , etc) that a "normal" *coughbull****cough* couple gets. So yes to gay marriage , yes to straight marriage, and yes to interracial marriage.

Well, considering I am madly in love with my partner and plan on marrying her, I am 100% in support of gay marriage! If someone is not gay, then someone else who is gay getting married is not going to affect them.

I have an issue with marriage, regardless of parties involved. It's an outdated and archaic not to mention unnecessary social oddity. Down with marriage, we should ban it all together.

Probably because they are less likely to have kids. I am just guessing here... but I see WAY too many people splitting up over the hardships that can come from having babies and raising kids. It's hard stuff and any weak relationship can cave under the pressure.
