    This is something I feel very strongly about. I think it should be legal. Love is love, in my eyes, it has no limits, so everyone in love should be able to have the same rights.

    I don't see why the president has such a problem with it. :confused:

    Eh, something going on with my life made me think about this, I'm getting very worked up over it. Love is love DAMNIT! Hehe...

    Love is love, but two people who are in love don't always get married. I think it should be legalized so that gay couples can have the same benefits as hetero couples. You don't need to get married because of love, I'd feel the same about the woman I loved if I was married or not, but the benefits of marriage (money wise) are fuckin' crazy compared to not being married.

    Lol, no problem :)

    I don't even see why gay marriage is an issue, everybody should have the right to marry whoever they want to. I thought this was a free country....
    Also, about Bush's proposed amendment to the consitution to ban gay marriage, it would be the 2nd amendment(1st was prohibition) that limits rights, and also the first amendment to look down upon a certain group of people. And for what? The "sanctity of marriage"? Divorce is more of a "problem" then gay marriage "is."

    Yes, aren't the numbers at like, 50% of marriages that fail? I definitely agree if he's worried about the "sanctity of marriage", gay couples are not the problem.

    i hink gay marriage should be legal but...
    marriage is a church thing....together in the eyes of "god"...churches dont want that
    so there should at least be civil unions

    No, there are non-religious weddings, which would be what I would go through when (if) I get married.

    I support gay marriage... not because I really care about gays' feelings, but because I really don't give a shit whether or not they get married. They can do whatever they want, for all I care. It has nothing to do with me. Who am I to tell them what they can and cannot do?

    Shouldn't be an issue. President's a christian asshole, and christian assholes are always wanting to impose their bullshit beliefs on everyone under the pretense of keeping them safe, and other such religious nonsense.

    If Bush is reelected (or if Kerry doesn't legalize it), I see a gay rights movement as strong as the black rights movements of the 50's and 60's in these next four years.

    Could be, but I doubt it. There are a LOT more blacks than gays... There's strength in numbers.
