If you outlaw gay marriage, you need to outlaw divorce. My new hero :)

Banning gay marriage is about 2 things.

1. Simple hate. Blacks couldn't marry whites for a long time because of hate. No other reason.

2. Money. Corporations don't need to offer benefits to same sex domestic partners.

No one has come up with even a reasonable sounding argument against gay marriage.

I hear all the time that marriage is a centuries old tradition and shouldn't be changed. Of course women should still be property and divorce should be illegal.

There's the talk that marriage is for making children but we allow infertile couples and elderly to marry.

I've probably read and heard the views of 50 to 100 people and there's never been anything that even resembles a reason outside of hate or money.

Personally I don't care about the issue. I look at politics from the point of view of protecting my daughter. If gay people get married in MA that doesn't affect my daughter in any way shape or form so I don't care.

This is how I feel. Why can't gay people do what we do. If your gay and fall in love and want to get married you should be able to. It's the same thing straight people strive to do. A relationship is based on love and respect for each other, so if you happen to be gay you don't deserve that? I have never understood this. As far as having kids, just because you gay you shouldn't have that right??

Your are born to be straight or gay, being raised by gay parents is not going to make you gay that is a stupid statement another one I've never understood.

Kids will always find something to tease someone about, it's part of growing up and we've all been threw it, and have survived it.

A home consists of a couple, or single parents raising and loving their kids, the rest doesn't matter.

Actually those laws weren't created mainly out of hate, even though hatred maintained them. They came out economics and not wanting to enslave whites. When the colonies were starting white indenture servants and what few slaves there were lived side by side and created social units. They were afraid that if they started to intermarry and have children (especially since the child carries the mother's status) that it would turn people off to slavery.

They were too high minded to want to enslave their own kind. They justified indenturing their own kind since it was a "payment" plan. Even though as soon as a female had a child, her service was extended due to the cost of the child and then the child itself had to make payment through service. Creating several generations of indenture families until slave out took it by shear numbers.
