Do you think homosexual couples should be allowed to get married?

Of course they should. i have yet to hear one valid reason as to why it shouldn't be made legal. Marriage has become a bit of a mockery thanks to wedding reality shows and painfully short celebrity weddings and I don't really think that most people view marriage the same way as it was say 30 - 50 years ago. It's time to get with the times and change the laws.

They should be able to have any kind of ceromony they want. What is so bad about that? They are humans and deserve to be able to be in love and have ceromoneys and all the rights everyone else has.

Well, if you believe in God, and the bible, it is very specific about homosecuals. I don't like to judge anyone, as I am not without fault. So, that is all I can comment. Hugs to you.

Yes, I see nothing wrong with that. I would like to see those who say they shouldn't because it's not in the bible prove that everything they ever do is according to the bible. Homosexuals are people just like you and me and they can be just as good parents. Many people keep saying they shoudn't be allowed to adopt children either because it must be uhealthy for the kids. It's the people outside who do the harm to the children by harassing them. If we gave them a chance to live a normal live and treated them with the same respect we treat heterosexual couples, I'm sure there wouldn't be any difference.

i think they should. just cuz some people dont agree about how someone lives their life it should be left for a few to decide for all.

No problem with me as long as it is legal under the state law.. Its their own decision and we have no right to disrespect them in any way.. they are humans too and they have feelings like us..

Hi Dana I don't See why not , gay people do not choose to be gay so why should they not show commitment like any other couple , I think it is a sham that so many gay people are so scared to " come out" because of bigotry of a few people . I think nowadays more people are becoming more accepting and that can only be a good thing xx

most definately.. people are people

yes

Yes! They are people too! Gay couples can love each other just as much as heterosexual couples.

Yes, I beleive everyone has the right to be happy and married. I think gay marriages should be legal.

It depends really on the culture and religion of the country which you would like to do this in. Another thing to take into consideration is whether marriage is a religious or state value/institution. The problem now is that marriage is mixed between state and religion, and it's not really clear which one "owns" the concept of marriage. If it's the state, then it should be yes if public support allows it, and if it's the religion then it should be no (assuming that the religion will reject it). What is marriage, anyways, at the end of the day? The state doesn't have to tell you you are married to be married. Marriage is more about actions and words rather than what the state tells you or doesn't tell you it is.

I have a lot of friends who are homosexual and yes I do think they deserve the right to a ceremony and the same benefits as heterosexuals. Who decided only a man and a woman could be married? I think men did, you know the ones who have 25 mistresses. LOL

According to our constitution we are free to practice any religion, and we have the right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness and property. I believe that gay marriage falls into the right of having life, and being able to have someone to live with you. Pablo

I honestly do not understand why this is such a big deal. Why shouldnt ANY two people who love each other and wish to make a legal and emotional committment to each be able to do so? We should all be free to love and marry at our choosing. There is too much interference from outside sources that seem designed to cause misery and prevent happiness. This is one of those very rules that seem meant to hurt people without a good reason.

There are many gay affirming churches that will marry homosexual couples. The problem is that it is not legal. The reason gay couples want legal marraige is so that they wont be strangers in the eyes of the law. They want rights of survivorship, next of kin status, joint income tax filing, spousal health insurance benefits; the list goes on and on.

yes definatly why should they be treated different there still people

This issue always bugs me, because I really don't know what homosexual couples want. To me, marriage is a sacrament where a man and a woman pledge their love under god and a priest declares them man and wife. Are homosexual couples trying to force their desires onto religious organizations that will only marry a man and a woman? If not, then why don't they just call themselves husband and husband, wife and wife, and move on? If they want to pledge their eternal love to one another, great. If they want to call themselves married, go for it. Why do they need to make it a legal issue? Do they really need the government to acknowledge their marriage for it to be real? If it's just about insurance benefits, or something like that then yes, I feel they should get a civil union, or whatever they're calling it these days. It doesn't really affect me, so why should I oppose it?

Of course!

I think so. It shouldn't matter who a person wants to be with, if two people decide that they want to combine their lives, they ought to be able to.
