The term marriage is a religous term. Marriage is a religous practice belongs to religion.
Please forgive me and pray for me please because I do not won't to be intolerant of anyone, I have no right to be intolerant of others.
I just don't understand why the gay community insist having the term "marriage."
I used to believe what you currently believe: "marriage is a religious term." I do not believe (anymore) that marriage is a religious term, I believe it is a legal term. One can be legally married without any religious ritual whatsoever.
Therefore, following the logic that marriage is a legal term, I can understand why gay couples want the legal protection and rights of marriage.
As far as "gay community", I have come to believe that "community" is all of us who live on this one earth; there is no separate community for gay people or straight people. We are all in this together.
Being a lesbian woman, I don't understand why anyone would get married. Marriages are not sacred anymore and most of them don't last. For someone to throw religion into it would just be a cover up. Some people walk down the aisle 3 and 4 times with 16 children and 6 different baby fathers. If a gay person wants to get married, so be it. I don't understand why a gay person's wishes and desires must always bother someone. I'm sure almost everyone wants to experience that "special day" and there are places that allow it.

(I chose you randomly to ask this....)
If gay marriage is passed, do you have a problem with polygamy also being legalized? I mean why not..... who cares, besides the church and the insurance companies perhaps?
This is a non-sequitur. Gays are not asking for polygamous marriages, nor are they asking to marry a relative or an animal.
This is the op, please read it and reply to the topic if you want this very old thread to remain open.

Many homosexual men are married to women and have children.
Sounds like a choice to me.
And many straight men are married to women and have children.
You obviously don't see the contradiction in your own words. You said they are homosexuals. Just because they marry a woman doesn't change that fact or make it a "choice".

Bisexuality is also a choice, because bisexuals say so.
Nope, bisexuality is merely the middle of the spectrum which is (inborn) human sexual orientation.

The same reason that interracial couples did forty years ago, and why before that, African Americans insisted on having the term "human" and "citizen"
