    So you would like to toss freedom of religion out the window, and establish a state run church?

    hey Odis, I'm Libertarian, and I get a little frustrated with people on these questions lay out the same old "It's just wrong", why people can't leave consenting adults alone is beyond me.

    Or the ones that believe in freedom, which requires keeping safe distance between law and religion; I really don't think you want to live under a theocracy.

    I said no. I went to a very Conservative school that taught "Abstinence-Only" education, and even had very Conservative textbooks.

    My opinion on this has nothing to do with my political beliefs--to me, this is a civil rights issue.

    no, no, no, definitely not. Marriage should be a commitment between any two people who love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together, regardless of their sexes.

    I know it is. And so does 99.99% of the world's population over the last 10,000 years.

    but I understand it's becoming a fad to not think so.

    Marriage should be between two "people" who love each other. race, gender and other stuff like that should not matter.

    I don't think we need to redefine the language to assauge somebodies sense of entitlement.
    There was a societal good fulfilled by recognizing marriage between man and woman. What is the good provided by gay marriage to society?
    Civil unions, contractual rights fine, marriage no.

    I think ALL government papers recognizing a relationship between consenting adults should refer to a "civil union", you want a "marriage", find a church, can't find a church, tough; but I know singling a group out because they are different is wrong.

    I have no problem with that what so ever. BUT, that is still ignoring the elephant in the room. What about pay, benefits, taxes, pensions? To extend breaks to more by a judges fiat? This gives more to more while while letting more pay less.
    We already have a system that is disfunctional and unfair, a couple without children subsidizes those who do have kids. The more kids you have the less you pay even though you are the ones driving up demands for government services. In Alaska a state worker retires with state paid health insurance, OK. They die the spouse continues coverage, fine. If the spouse goes to work they can opt out of the employers insurance and pocket the money their coworkers are paying as their share. If they remarry their new spouse is covered under the original workers state insurance. Now both can opt out of the employer offered insurance and pocket the the money. I don't like that system and do not want to see it expanded further.
    Gays in the military, no problem, they were there in the seventies when I was in. If you are married you get more money than singles and are free to live where you choose with a tax free housing allowance. Singles are required to live in barracks. Two guys get "married", now they have more rights than the single trooper and two h...

    The partners get a lot of benefits without the society getting anything of value in return. Traditional marriage gave society the benefit of the child bearer being freed to raise the children and have some measure of security. The breakdown of traditional marriage has taken much of the societal benefit away. If you want to remove some of the benefits from traditional couples, no problem there.

    Marriage should be about 2 people wanting to be happy, and be "official" in the eyes of them selves and others. Marriage shouldn't have anything to do with gender.

    But I also beleive that the government should get out of the marraige business. Any person that wants to have a partner be it man, woman or in between should have the right to have the same partners rights as a marraige. Marraige is between a man and woman and been like that throughout history. I think the name concept needs to be preserved and you can name partners of the same sex whatever you want but not marraige!

    God created a woman for Adam,and tells us in His holy word that man shall not lie with man, nor woman with woman. He calls it an abomination. Man can legalize it all he wants, but it is still unacceptable to God, so what's the point?
