It's just one of those "issues" that doesn't evoke a strong response from me one way or the other. I'm not gonna march in the streets for the rights of gays to marry. And I'm not gonna march in the streets against gays marrying.
But even I can see which way the momentum is turning.
Progress certainly threatens the non-adaptable mind.
Why are people fighting so hard for same sex marriage?? I really cannot wrap my brain around it.
It's a huge drain on focus for bigger problems in this country.
Imagine if a collection of rights were being withheld from you (or from a family member or a friend). Wouldn't you fight hard for your (or their) equal rights?
The Government should not be involved at all in marriage. It is a personal and religious practice. If two people have the same sexual desires and they would like to live together, it is their business. Of course the usual neo-con argument is that eventually we will legislate bestiality. This is absurd. If two human beings have an intimate and emotional interest in each other, they should be allowed to pursue it without ridicule. LooseCannon2012
Two human beings....
That's the only requirement?
How about age?
One rule goes out the window and you're opening the door for Jerry Sandusky to do as he pleases outside of being prosecuted.
Every type of relationship gets validated eventually given enough time.
I was just reading that interracial marriage used to be illegal in many states. The Federal Government did have to step in and overturn that because it was found to be unconstitutional. So I have to wonder, if that was the case for interracial marriage would not the same "unconstitutionality" be in place for same sex marriage.
The race argument is a 100% fail.
Science would have to prove that there is such a thing as a race (which is something that cannot be done and is scientifically invalid) in order to deny two people of different ethnicities marriage.
Same sex marriage is totally different.
Because marriage is a civil contract two adults of consenting age should be allowed to enter into a contract. Period.
As abnormal as I believe homosexuality to be. Civil unions I can agree with. The marriage part is done in church. Plenty of civil unions between heterosexual couples.
Comparing Kim Kardashian and her antics to the condition of modern American wedlock is about as genuine as lipstick on a pig. Kardashian should never be spoken with regard to marriage.

How do you feel about same-sex marriage?
