The fact that this is even a hot topic is rediculous. What are we arguing over? We'rte arguing over whether 2 people can get married. How this affects anyone else but the people in question, I have no idea.
The biggest arguement against gay marriage, besides "***s are the DEVIL", is "Marriage is a very specific thing. Its between a man and a woman." To me this is a thin veil of homophobic bigotry. The reason why poeple are against gay marriage is because it would be like saying that being gay is acceptable. It is inclusionary, instead of exclusionary. Keeping gay marriage illegal is just another way of keeping homosexuality a taboo.
To me, marriage is about 2 people that love one another devoting their lives to each other. Now we heterosexuals seem to only be able to make this work 40% of the time. Maybe we should let homosexuals have a crack at it.
The bible is the main case against gay marriage, but then again aren't we supposed to be a secular society? The very fact that our law follows the tenants of the bible in this is non-constitutional. Aren't all men created equal? If so, then gay marriage should be legal. If one person has a right, all should have them as well.
As for the Catholic church, I stopped listening to them after the whole pereverted priest controversy. So the Catholic church is against gay marriage between 2 loving and LEGAL individuals, but yet forced homosexual pedophilia which will scar thousands for the rest of their lives is A-OK. For the record, I have nothing against Catholicism as a religion, but the organization of the Catholic church is corrupt and should be disintegrated.
