I don't either, but I understand the larger ramifications of normalizing homosexuality. Examine ancient Greece and Rome.

Why shouldn't gay people be allowed to marry whom they want to marry? As long as you are not being forced to marry someone of the same sex, what is to you?

I would never discriminate against homosexuals, I just don't believe that men sleeping with men and women sleeping with women is a natural thing to do.

Marriage was defined as no one could marry outside their own race. Asian could only marry Asians, white could only marry whites.

The definition of marriage changed as recently as 1967 when Loving vs. Virginia was decied on by the US Supreme Court.

Marriage has been redefined throughout the years, to accommodate the modern concept of unity and of course legal issues. Its been nearly 50 years since Loving vs Virginia; its about time marriage is redefined to fit the modern world.

OK, so to you that is natural. Why should gay people not be allowed to sleep with and marry whom they want to?

"What is the real agenda behind creating Same Sex Marriage?"

Personally, it is so I can go to my niece's upcoming wedding which gives me an excuse to buy a new suit and from what I am hearing about the preparations... having one hell of a parte!

Why should we redefine a centuries old institution whenever someone finds out a different way to have a relationship?

Why not keep the institution intended to provide stability for families and not just two people who 'love' each other and want to masturbate on each other with benefits.

The real agenda behind Same Sex Marriage is to flush out bigoted, homophobic filth and place them squarely on the wrong side of history.

Why shouldn't we, if it addresses unfairness and injustice?
