Should gay people be allowed to get married?

Were all people it shouldn't matter to people who aren't Gay/Bi-Sexual. So get over it You negative people! :P

I don't think anyone should get married or be permanently monogamous it isn't natural....look at the animal kingdom. We are subjected to the rules of the game as we know them in our current place in the time line of our lives. just sayin....

Penguins, gibbons and swans have one mate for life. Along with many other animal species. The question is more about whether gay people should have the same rights as any other American.

yes

Why not? There is no reason to let the heteros have all the misery, I mean fun

They should be allowed to have the rights of a normal male/female couple but not the use of the word 'MARRIAGE'.

In my opinion yes because for on they are people too despite sexually nuff said Next question ? (:

obviously

Even though I, personally, am against same sex relationships, I see no reason why not.

No it will be a disgust.

If two consenting adults agree to whatever they want , that is fine and they should be left alone whether you agree or not. It's when they assert that because of what they choose to do as consenting adults that they are deserving of extra consideration under the law AND that society MUST accept that behavior openly which they have consented to, this is where there lies the problem and the conflict.

Never supported it, and never will.
BTW: When I 'take-a-wife', there will be no "Marriage-Certificate or License", as it is not needed, nor will I or my Bride submit to the jurisdiction/authority of ANY muni-corp.

I say no in a church because God is against homos, in a court may be differant because a marraige can be done with out God involved.

Exactly. Marriage doesn't have to have ANYTHING to do with religion.

Then way did he create gay people? :p If he exist that is ^.^

Should heterosexual people be allowed to eat? Should gay people be allowed to smile? Should tall people be allowed to play basketball? Should cat lovers be allowed to work?

What is this with people thinking they should exercise the power to keep others from choosing their own values and managing their own lives?

What's with this question? I only answered another post on this about 10 minutes ago.

This question yet again?

People don't get married anymore to have a "healthy" sex life.
If two consenting adults want to get married for romantic reasons, it should be their option.

Don't believe in it. Civil union would be more appropriate to me.

So, is your username supposed to be ironic then?

Lefty on most views, but not all!

people that want to be married is their choice as long as they are consenting adults.

Just because some religions say no, doesn't mean we should not allow it. It's a human rights issue and that trumps religion. People should not have to be forced to life by what a religion states.

There is no right to get married, even for heterosexuals. Marriage is a licensing arrangement done by the states. Gays don't qualify for the license.

On a Federal level there is DOMA. The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) (Pub.L. 104-199, 110 Stat. 2419, enacted September 21, 1996, 1 U.S.C. § 7 and 28 U.S.C. § 1738C) is a United States federal law that defines marriage as the legal union of one man and one woman. The law passed both houses of Congress by large majorities and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on September 21, 1996. Under the law, no U.S. state or political subdivision is required to recognize a same-sex marriage treated as a marriage in another state. Section 3 of DOMA codifies the non-recognition of same-sex marriage for all federal purposes, including insurance benefits for government employees, Social Security survivors' benefits, and the filing of joint tax returns.

Of course our Tyrant in Chief says he will ignore that law.

And them not qualifying should change. It will. It already is in many places.

In most places it is not.

Again, that will change.

But not today.

Do you not want it to change? Why are you so focused on this not changing?

Some people just don't know how to mind their own business.

Marriage is public business sanctioned by the state. That makes it my business.

No, I don't want it to change. It perverts an honored tradition and a sacred bond.

No it doesn't. Just because two people of the same sex could mary doesn't mean that your marriage would lose any tradition or sacred bond. How is what others could do, have something to do with what you do? It doesn't.

That is your opinion. I have a different opinion. It also lends legitimacy to a perverted lifestyle.

I agree. We have differing opinions and that's fine. We can just call it a day. :)

You make a point most people miss. It is a human rights issue!

It's so true. For instance, up until 1967 people of different races could not marry. Think of how awful that would be! And religion and most people at the time supported that. No biracial marriages. But the government overrode it and made it legal. It was a human rights issue. It's the same issue for gay people.

i rather not, they tend not to be attractive.

zing!!! lol
