everyone deserves love no matter if ur gay or straight!
Marrige is nothing but a piece of paper if you don't believe in the bible so why do you need that piece of paper.
Marry yourselves with the power invested to you by being the ruler of your own world. You can love and show your love in all sorts of ways, and just think he or she can never say, I should have never married you. So see I am saving you an argument. lol
good luck
Also, marriage does not purely Christian, or even purely religious, basis. Many different religions have marriages, so legally restricting it to the Christian definition violates the right to freedom of religion guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution. And atheists get married, although their ceremonies are often not in a church--if it isn't recognized by the church, does that mean their marriages are any less meaningful? No, it does not, by any means. Marriage represents SO much more than a religion or a legal document. To deny that right to millions of Americans citizens is just plain wrong.
Just an opinion, and you know what I say about opinions!
But that legal equality must not-can not- be defined as "marriage". The fact that the usage has been made ancient and honorable is beside the point, as is religion.
What IS on point here is simple:
1)This is NOT about discrimination.
Boys and girls are NOT the same. There is a difference. That difference is INTEGRAL to the institution of marriage. Boys and girls procreate. That is the entire and whole reason for marriage.Where the parties differ there is no equality. NO physical equality.
vive la Difference!
2)Marriage is wholly about regulating procreation.
Marriage only peripherally concerns Love. The choice of the particular person is of no concern. But it is not possible to be other than a male and a female. Marriage is specifically created for the regulation of sexually active PROCREATING members of society. This is why the Catholic Church allows no divorce but does demand annulment(no marriage) where no consumation occurs and states (wrongly but here it is)that comsummation(sex) is only for procreation.
Procreation is only possible between a male and a female.

Procreation is only possible between a male and a female.
"In vitro" insemination is extra-natural and extra-physical instrumentation. It is not a natural, permanent(immutable) aspect of the bride or groom.
Parenting is not procreation.
It is NOT discrimination.The regulation of procreation in any community makes the political tensions afforded(adultery,promiscuity... xtra-marital sex,inheritance,lineage)by the presence of numerous suitors for available women a regulated incorporated-into-custom by usage thus into law part of a functioning society.
That usage,common law, is what is inalienable about marriage. Marriage is NOT about keeping lovers apart or preventing them from whatever is right in property,health or moral arenas. All must share in these.
Call it "Gay Marriage".
It truly and honestly is different than what a man and a woman can do physically and by custom is established already. People get uncomfortable when institutions as ancient as this are perceived to be attacked.
Truly there is no attack. But rights cannot be shared where there is no equality. There is difference and marriage,so-called ,is based on THAT DIFFERENCE SPECIFICALLY.
Now I welcome disagreement and opinions other than my own...where there is reason that compells I can change my opinion.

I have never, nor will I ever, care what others do in their own home-but, any and every one should have equal rights!
physicaly looking at them its kinda akward...
but its what they like and what they feel..
we just got no idea..."love is love"
