Marriage should be for hetero-couple's only. Because it is tradition.

I like how people act as f the world would end if we allowed gay marriages. What's not original about a gay marriage?

Two people who love each other decide to spend the rest of their lives together.

I don't see the difference between gay and hetero marriages.

Whatever your arguments here, or anywhere else, you know in your heart, it is wrong.
So only married people can have children and only married people have morals?

1) Check divorce rates
2) Check reasons for divorce rates (look at infidelity for one)
3) There are more ways than just sex to have a child as a male couple or a female couple. Conservatives are crying everyday about unfit parents having children and milking the system. Take those kids and give them to a loving couple regardless of sex to raise those kids and hopefully stop the cycle of welfare families.

We are flawed human beings, and many of us don't do real well in personal relationships. So...... if you like, you can all say the same exact thing about everything and anything we humans say and do.

I've said it many times, gays can get married, no one is stopping them. Gays can declare their life long commitment of love and devotion to each other, and then go have a life together, then they can go find a lawyer and share all their property and give each other full powers of attorney, etc..., no one is stopping them. They just won't feel fulfilled, until they get all the rest of us to endorse and subsidize them.

But you can't say that about everything if all don't have the right to do everything correct?

The only argument against gay marriage are religious based ones (people who just answer "it's the law" are using that as a crutch as plenty of laws in the past have been overturned when they are discriminatory) so this one should be as well. It's a joke.

Why are you subsidizing any one who has a same sex marriage?

The law is a crutch?

So if i were to say that there is a law against siblings getting married, would it be a crutch also?

I do not use religion as a reason when I discuss gay marriage.

It's inevitable that they will be, in some way, if not many. Just do a Google search some time for marriage services provided by charities and government.

Here, I'll do a quick one for you that gets over a million hits

And as I have said many times, a lawyer can not provide for everything included in a marriage license.

But can’t a lawyer set all this up for gay and lesbian couples?
No. A lawyer can set up some things like durable power of attorney, wills and medical power of attorney. There are several problems with this, however.

1. It costs thousands of dollars in legal fees. A simple marriage license, which usually costs under $100 would cover all the same rights and benefits.

2. Any of these can be challenged in court. As a matter of fact, more wills are challenged than not. In the case of wills, legal spouses always have more legal power than any other family member.

3. Marriage laws are universal. If someone’s husband or wife is injured in an accident, all you need to do is show up and say you’re his or her spouse. You will not be questioned. If you show up at the hospital with your legal paperwork, the employees may not know what to do with you. If you simply say, "He's my husband," you will immediately be taken to your spouse's side.
