But I don't want to hear about it ALL THE TIME. Just like I don't want to hear about other relationships. |

I dont give a shit about gay couples or hetero couples. Gov. should have no say in any of it anyway. Gay people being gay is by a wide margin the least important issue ever debated.

I think the government has no business dictating whether two consenting adults can enter into a legal contract based on their sex, or what marriages a church should recognize either.
I've never understood what the controversy was about, who cares if somebody chooses someone of the same sex as a beneficiary or gives them a power of attorney? Makes no sense. |

Sept 08 asks if polesmoking is equal rights?
Let me make it clear, Anyone, and I mean EVERYONE male already has the same right as me. To marry a woman. And all women have the same right as my wife, to marry a man. Anything else is an abomination of the word marry. DoI care if you smoke pole? Not hardly. Nor shoot drugs, nor sniff buttcrack. Keep it out of my face & away from my kids and life is well. Insist on special treatment and I will do the same. If polesmokers can marry, my wife and I want to marry her Dad, her Mom, my Dad & my Mom. Then they will have great insurance too.  See how fuckt up special treatment is??? |

I am not pro gay marriage because it is a religious practice which I don't feel that the right to be fucked with. I don't have a problem with civil unions. I could care less about what people do in their own homes. But I don't want it shoved in my face every time I go out of mine. With all of the talk of gay friendly schools and shit like that just pisses me off. It is further encouraging discrimination by doing this.

How it should be in my opinion:

You bring up a really good point - but consider this: This is the final civil rights frontier for the US. They made a big deal about other civil rights movements (women, blacks...). Is this cause less important? What do you guys think? |

Bullshit phrases in a bullshit argument. He who frames the debate wins. The answer is: they already have the same rights as anyone else. They want special recognitions, not equal rights. Anyone who buys into this 'extra equal' bullshit is an idiot. |

I'm not a troll. I'm just getting a sense for what gun owners think. I'm a psychology major and an avid AR-15 fan. I enjoy educated discourse.
I also want to hear what it is like in other states besides NY. Many of these responses are interesting. It seems a lot of people missed the part about this topic not being about "marriage" just equal rights. Also we're not talking "special rights" or like in your face converting crap. I'm talking about peoples' opinions to having a law on the books allowing LEGAL "togetherness." What do you think? |

This is clearly not the case. As I mentioned earlier - a gay man cannot see his mate in the hospital because they are not legal partners. There is no LEGAL equality. They have human rights just the same. We're talking civil rights. |

Wait.. You just said it wasn't about marriage. A sentence later you talk about legal togetherness? Tell me how that is not the same thing... My statement still stands from earlier. I think marriage is a RELIGIOUS union. If two gay people want to have a civil union I could give two shits. If they want to have a religious union and try to change the definition of that religious view, then I have a problem. |

If 5 dudes kick my ass, I suck, but if 5 guys kick my ass and I say I am gay HATE CRIME??
I also believe if you don't what gays, black, or what ever in you apts. you should have that right too, not .gov telling you what to do. Just like the damn smoking ban here, I don't smoke but it should be up to the bar, restaurant owner or what ever to make that choice. Equal is equal, so no gay pride marches, because their are not Straight only marches, no all white schools so no all black schools NO wet so NO bet and so on |

I do not agree with Gay Marriage one bit. I think it is morally wrong.
BUT. I think it should be 100% legal. The government's purpose is not to tell people what they can or can't do, when it comes to situations like this. But, that means they don't get anything special. No tax cuts, etc. Exact same stuff a Male-Female couple would get. |

In the US we have "marriage" and "legal partnership." Since we have separation of church and state, one does not affect the other. In this particular discussion we are discussion the legal aspect instead of the religious "marriage" aspect. Sorry for the confusion. |

Man was meant for woman, woman was meant for man.
That's it. There are no extensions to that statement, no exceptions, no 'buts'. Any other combination is a mistake at the very minimum, but I tend to prefer the term "abomination". As far as I'm concerned, homosexuality is a disorder that needs to be treated or cured, not a "choice" that needs to be tolerated in the name of "diversity". I see homosexuals as unfortunately damaged goods. I hope the day comes when their condition can be treated or cured. That being said, I'm not actively anti-homosexual. I'm no more their enemy than i am the enemy of someone who has cancer. I see both types of people as having an unfortunate condition that I hope can be treated and cured some day, that's all. As long as people aren't getting in my face about their lifestyle, we won't have any problems at all. Do what you want but if it involves intimacy, do it where I can't see it, no matter who you are or where you are. (Unless it's my girlfriend with me.) CJ |

I am generally "pro equal rights" insofar as I recognize that homosexuals have the same civil rights recognized under the Constitution as everyone else.
As for gay marriage, I am personally opposed because I just don't like the idea of two guys being married. It's not a moral thing, it's a "that seems weird" thing. However, I think the government has no place in the marriage business. |

What people do in their bedroom is their business.
If they do whatever they are doing in public, or take an agenda to the classroom it's a different matter. We don't pay taxes to have some Commie teachers indoctrinating first graders into the mindset that the solid waste removal system of the human body is some sort of an amusement park. |

If that's how it was I don't think anyone would complain at all. That's the final goal of it all. Everyone seems to think gays are looking for MORE rights than everyone Not the case. What you said is dead on. The government really SHOULD have no place in it but they do. It goes along the argument before: Let gays be as miserable as hetero couples. |
