Of course same sex marriages should be legal.

Like I've said in pretty much every one of these threads... (See Eis's answer)

If two people love each other regardless of their sexual preference or lifestyle, then why not?

I'll answer this yet again. Gay marriage should NOT be legal, but then no marriage should be legal.

If a person, any person, wants to consider themselves married, or they want their religion to recognize them as married, then fine.

But there should be no legal or economic benifits for anyone being married, it discriminates against single people.

I also think, socially, humans work better in groups. We are social beings. Humans need social networks, marriages are one of many ways to do this. Also, its easieer to rasie children on two merged incomes rather than one.

Yes I think they should be legal.

Technicalyl this is correct, but one benefit is that if people file jointly, the government has to do less auditing etc because less returns are filed. They feel offering an incentive for that is justified.

You do not need to be married to raise children with two incomes. Nor does a piece of paper stating you are married form a stronger social bond. It only creats legal benifits, and legal entanglements, if and when the marriage ends.

This is correct, but I think having those things is easier. I have a tremendous amount of respect for single parents, Its an incredibly difficult job and there is NOTHING wrong with it. Its just easier if its spread among two (or theoretically more) people.

I think Gay Marriage should be legal , but like Darth Erebus would say...I don't like the idea of getting married.

If I ever do get married, it would more likely be with a guy since I am more attracted to men than women. However, i don't want to have a wedding, etc...for some reason i just don't want the ceremony for myself.

I don't feel I need it to validify any relationship I have. Being with the one I love is enough for me.

Personally, my only motivation for a marriage would be the financial benefits. But if other Gay Men or Women want to marry thier lovers, then I am all for it ! 🙂

No, what I mean is, you do not need a marriage contract to form a cohesive family unit. Both parents can live together and mutually raise the children as well as have legal responsibilities towards those children. There is no doubt children have a better upbringing with both parents present. Said parents don't have to be legally married though.

First off, there's already a thread on this. Second, should we have marriages at all? All it is is some stupid ancient arabic tradition where they didn't know **** all about treating women, so man had to arrange a ceromony and promise he won't take advantage of the woman/women. I think marriage is a stupid thing, and if gays want to get married, they're gonna regret it. 😐

ok nvm about me being gay.

well yeah.......but all you need is a priest,at least ONE witness, and two people who want to get married, right?

Well i say i dont suport it but if they want it its their right nothing more nothing less

I have a gay sig, that doesnt mean I'm gay. No one cares.
