17 hr Brandon101 v I'd have to think about it I'm really not a big fan of making things "rights" and would like to keep as few of them as possible. If we could somehow address the prejudice that sees a difference between gay and straight relationships, like outlawing beating up us gays (and we are so witty!), I would go for that more eagerly, but we live in a brutally stupid time so yes, I guess we need to spell out the rights.

May 21 jessejaymes v Yes Is there one chance in 10 trillion that if gay marriage is a federal right that Politix will stop crying the blues about how abused gays are twice and three times a day on their web site? I have 100.00 right now that says even if gays are allowed to marry, fornicate in the streets during pride parades, if gay male bathhouses are made mandatory for even straights, gay can murder straights at will on the streets, Politix will still be claiming gays are oppressed more than once a day. Have you people ever heard the story about the little boy (no reliable information if he was gay or straight) who cried wolf? Post

May 20 NoAmnestyEVER Here in the loony land of California we voted gay marriage down, not once but twice, just like we voted down all benefits for illegal aliens. And in Arizona voters overwhelmingly voted to enforce the immigration laws the Obama refuses to. But somehow in today's America the will of the voters isn't worth much, it's automatically overturned by the Obama administration and his cronies in the Supreme Court. Whoever says that America is a democracy doesn't have a clue. Post @NoAmnestyEVER

u 13 hr alaboy55 I guess I don't need to ask you whether or not you're serious; people have to realize that, for better or worse, there are friends and relatives who feel they must keep an important part of themselves a secret because other family and friends are petrified that they know someone who's gay. This is a time when there needs to be open dialogue among all parties. Something that never happened in my family because a string of failed heterosexual marriages were preferable to having somebody in the family who was gay. Being gay is not an agenda--it just is what it is. (Just like being straight is..) Post @alaboy55

u May 2 BossTweed v Yes As long as Churches aren't forced into sanctioning it if it conflicts with their beliefs I think Gays certainly have the LEGAL right to marry just like any other American. B1 Post
u May 2 fraps v No This is a States Right issue. I believe in Gay Rights. I believe in Polygamy. Actually what I really believe is that any voluntary mutually agreeable relationships between people should not be restricted by either the Federal or State Governments. But, the Constitution seems to give the various states the right to make laws in these areas. I would vote for a constitutional amendment that eliminated the right to have states define what constitutes a marital relationship. The only interest the State has is to know who is responsible for children in their state. That is satisfied by having a filled out birth certificate. I have different, much different religious ...

u Apr 29 treedcat25 v Yes The 14th amendment guarantees equal protection under the law for all citizens. Marriage confers more than 1,000 legal privileges and responsibilities which all consenting adults should be able to obtain. Post

Apr 27 Prime_Meridian v No No, it already IS a federal right. The right to Equal Protection Under the Law, the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, etc. Regardless of a human being's race, creed, color, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, a human being should enjoy ALL rights equally alongside of other human beings. No laws need to be passed. Attitudes and in some cases, laws need to be amended. B1 Post
u Apr '13 Ddawg v Yes people with personal or religious agendas are not allowed to have a negative impact on the liberties of others. Post
u Apr '13 topicdebatres v Yes May we be reminded of separation of church and state. Since when did the church have a legal standing or defines what is considered marriage? It does not. The courthouse defines your marriage with your marriage certificate and license issue from the state court. I don't understand why the same argument against gay marriage is always this religious one i.e., Marriage is between a Man and A Women, It's against God etc. . These are all mute points! No matter how Catholic, Christian or Pagan define marriage for that matter , it does not provide any clout of what all these Gay rights are trying to aim for as they are asking for the same legal rights. they are not askin... Post
Apr '13 SilktheAbsent1 v Yes Someone please explain to me, in non-religious (aka. in constitutional) terms, why is it wrong to allow two consenting adult humans in a committed, loving relationship to be married? Marriage is, after all, a human concept, so it seems to me that by denying it, people are declaring them to be non-human. Now, keep in mind that I am NOT talking about religious marriage, since there always seems to be that in the background. Rather, I am talking about CIVIL marriage, which is the type that is legally recognized. Remember, in Loving v. Virginia, the US Supreme Court ruled that marriage is a basic human right. To settle for anything less than basic human rights is t... Post

Mar '13 Denizen_Kate v Yes The right to marry the person of your choice is part of our guaranteed right to "life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness." California's Prop 8 is unconstitutional.

Mar '13 methinks Sorry, but equating homosexuality to bestiality is ridiculous. I think more straight women get it on with ponies and rottweilers than lesbians...just saying. Gay people can't change who they are attracted to just you and I can't change who we are attracted to. If God made us who we are, then He made gays right alongside straights. B11 Post @methinks

Mar '13 Mr_GO_HERD v Yes The fact that people are so against gay people marrying legally is hilarious. They claim its to protect marriage. Protect it from who? It's already a coin flip away from being a divorce yet they insist on keeping it away from evil gay people. Get over it. B2 e8 endorsed Post
