I am very much for this, just so you know: Who thinks the definition of the word "marriage" should be changed to allow all willing, loving, happy and, yes, GAY AND LESBIAN, couples who desire it to join together under "holy matrimony?"

That last one is obviously sarcasm, btw. It is an insanely sad fact, tho.

It is insanely sad that even children can't just be themselves these days.

I would love to see the definition expanded to allow lovin people to marry whomever they wish...make it a personal matter rather than a government matter. Make laws about inheritance and such but leave matters of the heart to the people involved.

definitions are personal anyhow though, so 'changing it' for everyone is a politicall and null phenomenon in my opinion. I personally find love and 'union' to be a subjective experience that doesn't fit within boundaries as much as creating new heights. <3

My friend has a joke (she is straight) that homosexuals deserve to be just as miserable as the rest of the world. Another straight friend suggests that why would we want half our shit taken away. These always make me laugh!

Marriage is for EVERYONE. Enough discrimination already! This is supposed to be a free country yet still they single people out >.<

I have a vagina. My partner has a penis. Somehow this means that we are suitable and a-okay and have the stamp of approval to get married. Why this is I have no clue.

I think gay and lesbians should be allowed to marry just like everyone else. As it stands people get married after knowing each other less than a year all the time, and for financial or other reasons. It makes no sense to bar people who are actually in love from doing it. Also, about half of all marriages end in divorce, so I don't get how the some people's notions of it being between a man and woman apply if the vows don't.

Not to burst any bubbles; but that's a super biased poll question. I'm for it, but i know not everyone is.

Encourage a safe space for all people and all opinions.

I'm very active in certain areas, but I've never really chose to get involved with the gay rallies, either against or for. I'm not against it, of course. My activities are more directed toward health care, women's rights, animal rights, abuse, hunger and the like. I don't mind others who are gay and as long as everybody's happy, I'm happy too. I'm not the person to judge what's right or wrong. The only thing I dislike about the subject is the never ending fighting. Those who are against it are spending their time protesting against gay marriage and trying to stop it rather than putting all their energy toward something more important, something that is actually causing pain or worse in the world. I don't like that people are so desperate to stop others from doing what they want. I mean if nobody is being hurt or put in danger or the like then what's so terrible? Now if all the people who devoted so much time to things that don't affect them, would decide to devote just half that time toward ending hunger, abuse, rape, etc. THAT would actually get somewhere, make an important difference.

I dislike the fighting that goes on with both sides to be honest. Fighting and nastiness towards anybody isn't the way to win something. I've seen just as much hate towards those who don't support gay marriage as I have towards those who do. 2 Wrongs don't make a right.

Wow. I don't know where that came from! Lol. My point was to say, I'm not against it. I don't mind. I like happy people so marrying who ever makes you happy is perfect with me.

No, you are exactly right. I was feeling no where near unbiased when i wrote all that. And it's not that i would mind a safe area of polite discussion where everyone's views are represented... "Well, an element of conflict in any discussion's a very good thing. It means everybody is taking part and nobody is left out"... Oh, Elwood . Anyway, it sounds like a marvelous idea. But, except for places like this it doesn't happen often. Even on such very well known about public networks as Facebook. And i'm just tired of arguing with people who aren't going to listen to me about the way i'd REALLY prefer life to be in this world and i just wanted a nice big column of supporters to make me feel good about such issues again. There's so much hate out there, and i'm not particularly fixing anything...

Oh well, maybe in the next life.

Thanks again, everyone! Tho i don't doubt this'll keep going

I voted for bc I think that marriage should be extended to gay/lesbian couples as well. I however im not a fan of marriage, but more power to the people who feel like they want to embark on that lifelong journey.... lol and who knows maybe some my lesbian friends will knock it off already with all these "commit ceremonies" once they actually have to pay for that divorce and/or lose 50% of what what was "shared". (sometimes I dont think they take it serious enough, kind of like movie stars) Marriage today, Divorce when they disagree on something

I'd say other, if that were an option, because 'Holy Matrimony' is a bit much for this atheist to endorse as a universal name.

I am all in favour of universal marriage rights for gay people though.

Quite frankly, GAY OR NOT, NO child should EVER be beat up and bullying has been around just as long as gays have. Gays are not the ONLY kids who suffer from things like being beat and stuff. Yes, they are "targets" but so are women and the kid who sits in the back of the class with coke bottle glasses. I really wish that every person being bullied or beat was cared for. I just hate that people are blind to the sufferings of others sometimes unless they're being beat because of their sexual preference. I personally, wouldn't tolerate it no matter who/what the person was.

"Marriage" can mean whatever you want it to mean, you don't have to change the definition to state gay or lesbian.. marriage is just marriage and whatever it means to you is what it means.

I know plenty of happily married people.

People shouldn't start being mean just because a contriversial post appears.

Come on people, state your opinions, don't slander others.

Of course I'm for gay marriage. I am ready for the day when I can finally marry my girlfriend without having to move across the country. It'd make me a lot happier.
