That's BS reasoning and most sane people know it.

The good news is that there is a growing number of states and countries where marriage can be between two people of the same sex, giving all of us more freedom and liberty. The old-fashioned ways of restricting marriage to a man and a woman are coming to a close. I hope you all live long enough to see it throughout the United States.

Good luck trying to get your marriage recognized by the government of this country or by most states.

As any reasonable person knows, the argument that gays can marry...just not individuals of the same gender is a tired and intellectually bankrupt argument.

With certain limitations, straight people have the right to marry the person of their choice, as it stands now, gay people do not have that choice.

I don't know WHY some people can't seem to understand that. As if we should marry someone that we have no sexual feelings for

This has been addressed atleast 20 times in the past few days.

One's racial makeup is not a choice. How can one believe one's genetic make up is comparable to an act, a lifestyle, a feeling, an urge, a behavior?
Being gay is not a choice either.

Evolution would not reject different race, it would reject same sex. A man and woman of a different race could still reproduce.

It won't matter what anyone says, because the anti-gay crowd is also anti-science, but for those who believe in research, education, and intelligence, here you go:

Sexual orientation, homosexuality and bisexuality

I suspect that Palin/Huckaby/Neanderthal voters will disagree.
