Here's my thoughts on it... "Marriage" is a religious term for the joining of a man and a woman. I think that gay couples should have every right that "married" couples get, as far as legalities go. Taxes, health benefits, inheritance, etc. However, I don't think they should call it a marriage. That's really what is pissing everyone off. I think the gay community would get a lot further alot quicker if they just quit calling it a marriage. Most religions do not permit "Gay Marriages". So instead of trying to change people's ideas on religion, just call it something else. Civil Union. Whatever you want to call it. I think the gay community is just fighting the wrong fight. Fight for your rights, not the term it's called.

However doing it for tax advantages, and the rest of the nonsense is just a load of crap. |

Well, in order to not start a debate about what homosexuality is or isn't, just know that "morally" I have a problem with it.
Now, do I hate gays? Do I begrudge them for being who they are? No, and I never would. I just don't agree with it. Just like some people don't agree with someone being a Christian, or not agreeing with someone who supports the NRA, etc. |

Do you "morally" have a problem with many other groups of people who are different than you?

And I generally have problems with those that are enablers of them. But a moral issue...isn't necessarily a legal one. And legally...they have the right ! |

Just because we "morally" have a problem with a certain individual or group of people does not mean we should deny them basic rights. The KKK and is allowed to exist despite MANY people "morally" having a problem with their behavior and beliefs. |

Yes...hence why I stated that "morally" I did, but admitted that gay marriage would eventually come to fruition. Legally, it is going to happen whether people who morally object to it like it or not. |

<---- gay rights advocate bet i get along with you just fine ![]() am totally for it. my only issues are: that there's a problem with the word 'marriage' in that the definition specifically refers to that between a female/male. that a religious institution not be forced to perform a ceremony if it is in direct conflict with what that organization believes. |

I said I have a "moral" problem with it, but also stated that as humans they have rights. If I didn't say it, I am saying it now. ![]() |
