I'm all for it. Like stated above, if they're happy then why not?
They're generally really nice people. A few of my friends back in NY are gay.

how people choose to live their lives is their choice.if they wanna get married then fine, but the situation changes when they wanna adopt kids, i think straight couples should have priority because i think a child needs both a mother and father figure in their life.

My opinion is the same!!

I know it sounds stupid, but don't you see in them couples, even though they are of the same sex, they play a part as a male and female? One of the women is usually very masculine or the male is very feminine. I think just as long as the person acts as the role they have to the child and loves the child as their own, there is nothing wrong with adoption.
And as for the marriages, if the couple love each other and want to be together it should be just as approved as a normal marriage. Why should a certain sexuality be subjected to ridicule just because they feel a different way than what people have always seen as 'the right way to be'? Where I go on holiday there are a lot of lesbian couples, and members of my family start smirking and saying 'Oh, do you think them two are a couple?' and I turn round to them and say 'What do you find so funny? They're just normal people like everyone else, they are just attracted to the same sex. People can't help emotions or sexuality.'
One of the worst things I have ever heard though, is a woman my mum knows of. Her son took the courage to go and see her and talk to her off his own back to tell her he was homosexual. She turned round to him and said 'If you chose to be gay then you're not classed as my son anymore.' When I heard that, I practically broke. That poor guy was brought up to adore his mother like nearly every other child, and she disowned him, just like that, because of who he was. It really takes a heartless person to do that i think. He must have been devastated :(
But back on topic, I'm all for one-sex marriages!! :)

I completely agree with fender chic I couldn't of said it better myself. I have been born into a gay family my moms twin is gay and she has been with a certain women for pretty much since I can remember. If they chose to get married I would be more than happy for that to happen.

Yeah but thats ur mums twin.
If u got adopted and u grew up with same sex parents, theyd be so many rumours and taunts from everyone. I mean right now, i know a girl who majority dislikes and is afraid of, cause she apparently is a lesbian. There are people out there who have different opinions and will make life difficult for those kids, and them themselves may feel left out in those younger years.
I mean if everyone had a dad and mum and u were the only one with same sex parents ud be confused and everyone will be like "how come ur parents are such and such" then as u get older, people will gossip about it.
But ive gone off the topic.
I have nothin against people who are homosexual, i see them as everyone else, and if a male and femal can get married, then so can they.
Marrige is based on love, not what sex they happen to be.

I could care less if Gays and Lesbians were married. It really wouldn't affect me. So I say give them the right to marry.
But like manutd 4 ever said. Same sex couples raising kids? Thats a bit silly isn't it.

I'm for it; there is absolutely no reason that people should be restricted a marriage liscence based on the gender of their partner.
Regarding gay adoption and raising of children: studies have shown that children raised in gay households on average do equally or slightly better than peers raised in straight households. Honestly, though, why should anyone be denied to raise children? Because the children will be taunted? That's ludicrous. It's like when people were trying to argue against interracial couples having children because the children would be ridiculed for not fitting into one race. You solve the societal problem by fixing it, not by hiding it.
but the situation changes when they wanna adopt kids, i think straight couples should have priority because i think a child needs both a mother and father figure in their life.
Which is why they've banned single mothers from raising children alone, right? Regardless, there's no surplus of parents trying to adopt. There's currently no reason why every good home (straight or gay) should not be able to adopt. If you stop gay adoption, that just means kids who will never be adopted: not kids who will instead be adopted by a straight couple.

If both are happy with it what's the problem? What I've never understood is that we make all these rules and laws saying that everyone should be treated equalley, yet when it involves gays/lesbians all the sudden those rules don't apply?

I have to disagree while there is issues such as how the child will be treated later in life there is also another very good thing about being adopted by homosexuals. If a child grows up with homosexual parents they are probably going to be more accepting of gays/lesbians. The more people that we have growing up tolerent of homosexuals the less our children will have to worry about issues such as gay/lesbian marriages.

same until your talking about kids.they have the right to have kids in thier family and they do just fine with them in my opinion from what i've seen my sis and her girlfriend do with my younger nephew.I agree with the person above completely.I grew up with my mom and her boyfriends and believe me you have a lot more issues with straight parental figures then gay ones.With gay marriages you don't have to worry about your spouse leaving because in most cases they are very loyal.(exspecially women)
Me my choice is that i'd prefer to be with guys.

Its up to them with what they want to do. As long as their happy.
Personally i wouldnt marry a woman, but hey thats me.
I supose if they dont want children then gay and lesbian marriages are ok. Though i dont agree with gay's and lesbians adopting children!!

I dont know about this one. I guess i dont mind gay/lesbian couples, i just dont like it when i see them doing stuff in front of me. THey can leave it all private and it wouldnt bother me. I guess marriage is ok, i just strongly disagree with adopting children, they would get insulted and teased for ages! Kids these day are terrible!

So then if you should be able to, for example, ask them to stop and go somewhere else, then they should equally be able to ask a straight couple to leave and go somewhere out of sight, correct? Otherwise you're running on hypocrisy. You might as well ban all PDAs for everyone and get it over with.

See above. This is one of the arguments people made about interracial couples having children. And as I noted, studies have shown that there is no marginal difference between children in straight households and those in gay ones, and that where there is a difference, it's usually that the kids in gay households are doing better.

no, no fair play!
i cant stand when gays kiss infront of me, happend before and i nealry threw up. They shunt be able to do that in public because alot of people dislike it. Most gays realise, its just the ones that run around all pouncey, n make sure you no there gay that really annoy me.

So you think gay people should be second-class just because people dislike them? If a guy and a girl can kiss in public, then so should a guy and a guy or a girl and a girl be able to.
I think you're running on faulty assumptions when you say, "make sure you know they're gay." Are straight couples who kiss in public doing it so everyone knows they're straight? Evidently not. So why do you assume it to be the case about gay couples? Can't it just be two people sharing a kiss?
Overall, this can be summarized with a resounding "too bad for you." If you don't like black people, it's not a black person's responsibility to remove his or herself from your sight. If you don't like gay people, it's not a gay person's responsibility to do so either. It is your responsibility to either suck it up or to leave.

I agree, I know a girl at school who's mum's a lesbian, and she's one of the most popular girls with half the school being her friend, fancying her and all that :)

Reyty'o. Official word is that usin the edit feature to leave a note instead of addin another post to the topic is authorised, long as its clear which is the origional post. Have a nice day sir ;)
As to this topic id prefer not to see any gay stuff happenin infront o me, id like it if they wa consider enuf to do it in private, and definatly not try anythin o it on me, long as its that way then whatever they do is their own business.
Tho i do get what u lot are sayin up top and it is right, its jus my feelins on it that id prefer not to have anythin to do with it.

Well i think if 2 people love each other, nothing including gender, should get in the way of that. i think they should have jsut enough rights as everyone else does.

No, whats silly is letting crackheads and abusive parents keep their children. Theres this whole misconception that in a gay/lesbian relationship that one person is fem and one is butch, thats not always the case, there are many gay/lesbian couples who have to fem acting people or two butch acting people.
If they want to get married i say more power to you, if they want to adopt children or whatever i say go right ahead, as long as they give the child what he or she needs then i see no problem with it

like my opinion on anything like this, if it:
1. makes the poeple happy,
2 aslong as no1 is getting hurt in the process.
any thing is ok,
so i guess gay marriage gets a big YAY!! from me

I'm not agains it, but I don't think it should be called marriage. Marriage is a relious thing and most religions are against gay anything.

I think it is unconstitutional to deny gays and lesbians the right to get married. But what can I say, America often contrdicts itself.
