The Definition of Gay is Happy, therefore this is a bogus question. If they are referring to Same-Sex couples by definition of Law, Theology and Medicine there would be Nothing to question as all by Scope do not recognize: unless you search an area of Homophobes which cannot tell which side of the brain is on or off for the day.
There are words to describe the behavior, but not the attempts!

Do you mean a word that you could spell, dunce?

We are all human and deserve the same rights.

Monogamy is good for everyone.

you just said that charles manson had the right life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and the right to "own" guns. Maybe you might ought to re think the how, what and why of what you just said.

How can you deny the truth, yes some individuals break the Law... Or are you comparing Homosexuals, to insane killers? I'm not a killer, just attracted to both sexes.

Let gays get married. If you think it's wrong, or goes "against" the bible, let God be the judge.

I'm SO SICK of bible bangers. Get a life.

Traditionally, "marriage" has a religious connotation. In some states like Oregon, gays and lesbians can enter into what's called a civil union or a domestic partnership. Some other countries (such as Denmark, Canada, New Zealand, etc.) also have similar laws. A civil union has many of the same rights, benefits, and responsibilities as marriage but without the religious aspects. There are also a few churches that recognize same-sex unions, but a lot of religions only recognize marriage if it's between a man and woman.

History has shown us time and time again that prejudice and intolerance are always wrong and injust. It's easier to see when you look back than when you're in the thick of it. It doesn't matter what the cause is. I don't have any particular connection with gay people at all, but I would support their right to live their life the way they want anyway. Narrow minded bigots should be exposed for what they really are, haters of anyone that does not look or think like they do.

equal rights

Recheck the definition, and disallow publication of the definition to be in opposition of what English grammar had defined it according to global studies of expressions.
Gaity a word to describe lighthearted happiness, brought about the word 'gay' to mean happy.
The norm is not normal when words as 'gay' refer to an opposition of what was intended, and rainbows should not refer to this stereotype either. How have they taken over publishing houses in the past decade and changed these common sense, ancestrial explanations?

Many people intentionally lie on neighbors, ex's, competition, and even go as far as to photoshop and cut/chop/paste video and imagery to attempt and sway people to believe what some practice or do not with physical attraction and closeness than what is true.
I am more so opposed to people profile to assault and abuse others than I am to refrain from allowing opposition to Law, Science, and Religion to be voted on with attempts at some who want to shake up society with garbletygook.

This shouldn't even be a question. Two consenting adults in a relationship should have the right to be married.

I am not a second class citizen.

Why would you make up a new word for solidifying a relationship between two people who love one another? Largely I feel like the whole aspect of gay marriage being frowned upon because of a few questionable lines of text in an ancient book of literature that has been revised and rewritten more times than anyone knows, and for the most part is just platitudes for those who want to have someone else to look up to. Calling gay marriage anything other than marriage is insulting. Not allowing two people to marry is appalling. The gender of the couple wishing to make official their relationship should not matter-- appreciating the sanctity of marriage is. There are people out there just like everyone else, who'd like to wed the person they love and can't because of cowards who fear change and hide behind text and others rather than face the facts. Man up, America. Freedom for ALL.

Marriage shouldn't be treated as a religious issue, because everyone is free to practice their beliefs as they see fit.
So it should be looked at from a social and economic stand-point; to deny people a right granted to most other citizens, simply because of their gender or sexual identification, is wrong and goes against the principles of equality that mean so much to us. I support the right to equal marriage.

I'm a product of Interracial Love, which at one point was against the law in america. I wouldn't be here if that law was still up today. So I think that all types of people should be able to love and marry whoever they choose.

Legal marriage is not the same thing as religious marriage. Churches may do as they please, but the government should not dictate who can marry between consenting adults.
