What Is Your Thoughts On Gay Marriage ?

It's a fetish.

Marriage systems are monetary scams.

It is rights equity. It should be legal. For civil reasons in the same way that happens with straight couples. It gives you rights over your spouse as well as obligations. You can share a pension, or recive medical coverage, or be protected in case of abuse or neglection.

It should be completely legal.

Don't care one way or t'other. I've long wondered why someone would adopt a cause the outcome of which has absolutely no effect on himself

I agree, it's about equality under the laws. Government shouldn't be involved in the decisions of two people who love each other. It's about "the pursuit of happiness."

I believe in equality. I don't believe in marriage.

Yes, equality for everyone - no exception! Let gays get married, let them feel the pain too Seriously, it should be called marriage only - without a label up front for gay, homosexual, or heterosexual. Whoever wants to get married should be able to, regardless of sexual preferences.

Marriage, as far as the law is concerned is simply a financial contract. So whether straight or gay, legally it doesn't matter. If of age to enter into other business contracts, you're old enough for the marriage one as well. And as far as the law is concerned that's all that's happening, two people whose sex is completely irrelevant are making a contract with each other. That's all.

Churches by and large will not marry people without this legal recognition established first. Various reasons including covering their legal bottoms accidentally marrying relative and the like, or those underage, etc. Though some do perform 'covenant marriages' which religious-only marriages without the blessing of the state. So it's symbolic where the law is concerned and only official in the eyes of that particular church (and whatever other groups recognize it.)

There are no legal objections to SSM not coming from a religious objection. So as someone who understands there's more than 1 religion who has an idea of what marriage is about, I understand a given religious objection is utterly meaningless where legal recognition is concerned. Object all you like, legally you don't even exist.

....and religious

It's only religious if and when it's a religious ceremony. SSM is a legal issue, not a religious one. The decision to permit SSM has no bearing on whether or not religions have to change anything about it. Religion's completely out of it.

If it were recognized as almost entirely religious, Cap, its legal status might evaporate

no... a christian marriage has nothing to do with a civil one... religion didn´t invent the concept nor the ceremony

Forgive me Momo but that's a violation of the general principle that nothing is entirely anything while everything is party something else

First we should all become brad mind to accept it as normal in society. Marriage is not important. I was myself not open until a few months ago although I am a bi woman. My husband accept it.

not at all, something that is not entirely anything but being partly something else can be born from anything not related to nothing. So ... no my comment is not a violation of that general principle known just by you
