I would like to know what people think do you think that gay people should have a marriage or a commitment ceremony. I personally think they should have a commitment ceremony and that marriage should be for man and woman. Having said that i do think that they should be given the same rights as within a marriage like with property settlement, divorce and the like. What do you think and why?

I think that gays should be allowed to be legally married with all of the same benefits of marriage as heterosexual couples. Marriage is marriage, no matter whether the couple is a man and woman, 2 men, or 2 women. If they love each other and want to spend their lives together, they should be able to be married. Why would anyone want to give gays the same legal rights yet call it a "committment" rather than a "marriage"? It is a way of continuing the discrimination.

I personally dont think it is, they are different and so i think it should be called something different . Marriage should be about what it has always been and was meant to be MAN and WIFE thats why the words are HUSBAND and WIFE. I think they should have all of the same legal rights but it needs to be called something else. Thanks for your comments anyway.

I think each person has the right to love whom-so-ever so they decide to love. And as such as have the right to commit to whom-so-ever they decide. I dont think that i have the right to judge another person for who they fall in love with. I believe they should have the same rights as any other couple. That they should be allowed to marry, and be a spouse, They they both should be considered the parents of the children they raise and get marital benifits from their jobs. I believe its a part of being free.

I think they should be able to get married just like everyone else. I dont think it should matter as to who is getting married, but that they love each other.
