Do you think that Gays should be allowed to be married?

I think gay people should be allowed to marry. I don't know what you would call it if you don't call it marriage. Its scary to think that if something happened to one of you that the other couldn't make medical decisions. i couldn't imagine not having any say in my husbands health. i don't understand why people have such a problem with it. either way you are going to be gay, so why not let you get married and prove how commited to your partner you are. wtg on 8 years!

Sure! I think gay couples should have every right to be as miserable as any straight couple by getting married. LOL.. Sorry, didn't mean to be flippant, but I cannot resist. Seriously, based on your arguments, I'm sure there are some benefits available to married couples that are denied those who are not legally married even if they are together. I also like your argument about extra state revenues if gay couples are allowed to go through the marriage process. To be honest, I'm not really a believer of the sanctity of marriage and all, so as far as i'm concerned, if gays want to get married, they should be allowed to do so. Unfortunately, as long as there are conservatives and Christians in government, this will be an uphill battle. But hey, things can change so don't give up.

I think that you and your lover should be able to have a union of some sort, even if you don't call it marriage, that is what it is. This whole debate is stupid in my eyes. The government, says it is about preserving families. I say Bull$hit. Because of this. There has been gay people since time first started. It has never ruined family life. People are either gay or they are not. It is not going to someone who is not gay, gay or vice veruses. There was a study done not to long ago, that showed gay men stay together longer than their hetosexual counterparts. But gay women are about the same. ( I don't know where my sister saw it at,but since she too is gay, I trust she knows what she is talking about.) BTW cyberopjames welcome to mylot. One day things will be different here. Hopefully it is in our life time. BTW for those wondering, I'm straight, but think gays should have the same rights as straight people.

Yes, of course gay people should be allowed to get married to get married. If people wanna call it somethin' els I guess they could call a marriage ceremony a "Comittment" ceremony. The same thing, just different names. So..instead of being a 'married' couple, you'd be a 'committed' couple..which even sounds better than being married to me. Hm..I wonder if anybody'd law-wise, consider that. They can kind remorph the whole marriage thing if they want, as long as it basically equals up to the same rights. Like, fine..straight people don't want to share the term 'marriage', you can get your own you know? *is gonna run off to see who I can talk about this, to see if it could be possibile*

I think gays should be equal rights to be allowed to be married.after all,we're all humans.wow 8 years is a long time.I don't know anyone who's been in a relationship for 8 years.my longest relationship is 2 years.I didn't know it's so complicated for gays to be married.but cyberopjames,i hope you'll get married to Jason.take care!

THey are after all humans too. I don't think it is a problem of gay getting married. After all a man and woman get married is no difference.

yeah, this question is asked a lot on mylot, but i do think gays should be allowed to get married, it should be b/w two people not a woman and a man!

Well!Love can make two into one. They can choose what they like. I think they don't have to get married with each other. Because they still can live with each other it is normal. They will find strange if man and woman live together before marriage in my country. People can find friends online. http://passion.com/go/g867318-ppc

Of course - if that's what they want. Gay marriage is legal here in England and in most ther European countries - also in some parts of South America, so I really dson't see why it seems to be such an issue in the States. The love between two people is the same - whether two me, two women, or a man and a woman - and if that couple want to get married why shouldn't they be allowed to? I don't see why some people get so stressed about it - it's like they are back living in the Middle Ages or something.

i definitely think gays should be allowed to wed. Gays are no less of people than straights. my uncle and his husband are gay. i know they are not legally married, but they are married in their hearts and as far as i am concerned, they are. They have been together for many years now and are completely commited to each other. There is no reason they should not be allowed to be bound legally. It's disheartening to me that my uncle cannot get on his husband's insurance and that his hsband cannot make medical decisions on his behalf if he is unable to make them for himself. i believe he actually gave his husband power of attourney, so that is good. You see, my uncle has AIDS (his husband does not) and has been living with it full blown for about 17 years now. His husband takes care of him when he is too sick to get up. His husband has been there through it all. His husband knows what he wants in the end. He SHOULD have the right to make the medical decisions once my uncle is unable to.

I really do not know what is going on here, and why it takes so long for people to understand that thi is the year of 2007 and that gay people should have the same rights as straight couples. It makes me sad to hear what you said, i hope that things will change, but i do think that it would take time. I think that you and Jason should have a special agreement that would be made by a good lawyer and would be written while there are witnesses to it, that if anything happens to one of you. tfu tfu tfu, that the other partner should have the right of a known partner, and then you can fight it in court.

i don't like it when 2 guys having relationship which is really not disagreeable for me.. it's bad in the religion, isn't it? there's something in my mind everytime I see two guys kissing..lol

i guess if two person reli loves each other and they truly wanna get married, noone should try to stop them... that is the reason why people always says fight for ur own happiness...

I think anyone that wants to get maried should have the right to do so no matter who it ay offend. Straight people do not have to ask the WORLD beore tey choose to be married, I do not think gay people should have to either...... I am in the USA and here we are "THE LAND OF THE FREE".

I believe in giving rights to the gay male couple. This is because I believe in the equality fro all. I may not be espousing a "marriage" thing but there could be a way say a partner ceremony where couple could be officially pronounced as partners and legally enjoy rights that are usually reserved for the traditionally defined marriage.

Well if 2 guys in love with each other and they decided to get married then why not :) Should get married or not it depends on the couple if they're ready or not :) Not just physically and materially but also mentally because perhaps it's not very easy for people in the community to accept that. Well you could always refer to the marriage as Marriage or Partnership or whatever you want to call it as long as you know that it's a marriage that you're involved in. :D
