yes, I think it should be allowed....why not? It is all about 2 peoplel who love each other. Most of the arguments come from the bible thumpers but they are not the only ones nor are they a majority. Even if they were...shouldn't matter. What is right is right and discrimination is wwrong.

sid556,
I had always figured the reason girls want to get married is because of all the Disney brainwashing we received as children....that marrying prince-charming was the goal, but there weren't any same-gender couples living happily ever after.
Perhaps those stories just made people want to get married, period.
Happy MyLotting!

sid556,
That's a good point, that right is right and discrimination is wrong, but if two people love eachother and want to be together, wny does there have to be marraige involved?
I can see if they wanted to adopt...I think to adopt, a requirement is that you be married first for a certain ammount of time, but other than that, what's the point of marraige?
Happy MyLotting!

K Shree,
In answer to your question, I think it's the clergy, who were ordained by God himself to make those judgement calls....
...or was your question rhetorical? 
Either way, I agree with you.
Happy MyLotting!
Either way, I agree with you.

Yes I think so, marriage is just a human made thing so the rules are just something that was made my other people with different ideas. I am not gay but I do believe everyone has the right to live their lives in the way that makes their life happy, who made these rules, what right do they have to decide for other people, personally I don't really believe a marriage certificate means all that much really, except maybe legal rights and everyone should have access to all rights....

lilaclady,
I'm not sure about other employers but Starbucks offers benefits to their employee's "partners", which I guess means live-in girlfriend or boyfriend, regardless of the employee's gender.
I wonder if they had intended it to be fore unmarried hetero couples or if they knew they were allowing for gay couples too.
Happy MyLotting!

First I would love to know why you asked such a debatable question. Secondly I would love to know your thoughts on if you think gay marriages should be allowed. Thirdly, I would love to know why or why not you feel this way. Why did you ask such a personal, debatable and conversed question without telling us your thoughts and feelings?

Yes, I think it should be allowed.
But from the conversations I've had with people it's actually just the term "marriage" that throws people off. It seems like the same thing to say "civil union" but for a lot of people it makes a big difference. That was just random though.
I have a few friends who are gay and from what I've seen in them and their friends and their relationships, it seems like a much healthier and loving relationship than any heterosexual one I've seen. Really, as long as people are loving and being loved, what is the difference? But maybe I'm just more of a hippy....

myself_wheniamreal,
Perhaps the reason your gay friends are in better relationships is because there are less options when you're gay....not as many people available.
It's easier to be happy when there are less coices maybe?
When I lived in Europe, I had two choices of cappuccinos . When I came back to the states, Starbucks had gotten really big and I had to sort through probably 20 different choices, and I couldn't decide. No matter which one you get, you're always wondering if another one would have been better.
Same thing with people. If you have too many people and you only pick one, what about all of the others that are out there that are looking really good now that the initial magic is gone from the one you picked? If there aren't so many others out there to catch your attention, maybe it's easier to focus on the one you have.
Just a thought.
Happy MyLotting!

i dont know. i am not a religious person but i think it is not proper. maybe because i am used to see weddings with a female and a male. but then again i have an uncle who is gay and seeing him with the guy he loves.... he is happy like me and my wife. so i think maybe they should allow. one more thing is i think also on how religious a certain country is. if a country is open minded like U.K. then i dont think it would be a battle for them to allow it or not. i think there are parts of the world that is ok and there are parts of the world that would not allow. just my views.

There are states that have given people the right to legally do what they do in private, be a couple. I think that human beings should be afforded the same legal rights. Cheers!!

Yes it should be. It's not the society's (gorvernment) decision what's best for us. It is us who knows what will make us happy.

rrlandero0426,
But do we really know what will make use happy?
I mean, look at the high rate of divorce.
