The bible also says don't wear polycotton blends.

Thank God for the First Amendment.

I can truly say I'm ashamed that the majority of the states in America don't legalize gay marriage. Marriage should be a heterosexual privilege, but a right for gays and heteros alike.

Typo

Love is love, who gives a damn if guys date guys and girls date girls? Its love.

The bible excuse is a bunch of crap.
I am gay, and you're going to sit here and tell me I can't get married to the person I love, JUST BECAUSE of their gender?
Seriously. Something is wrong with you all.

Biblical laws are fine if you are a Christian (which I am), but not everyone should be expected to live by them. Someone who doesn't follow Christ shouldn't be forced to follow Christian ways. They are free to live their lives as they choose. It certainly shouldn't be something that is regulated by the government.

People have a right to go to hell, too, any way they choose. However, they don't have the right to drag the rest of us down there with them. Our laws should reflect Biblical principles. Homosexuals are in bondage to that sin as much as a crack or heroine addict is to their sin. Biblical principles are about liberty, not bondage or license.

People fall in and out of love all the time. Feelings and emotions are directed by our minds. If we have a depraved mind as all unsaved persons do, we'll think completely different thoughts- thoughts that seem right unto a person, but, in the end are death- then someone whose been converted by the Word of God by the Holy Spirit.

What you're saying is that you think people should be able to do anything they want; God's laws be damned. Which is what fallen man has been saying for centuries.

What is your problem gays have every right to be together how can you compare something like that to drugs!! You are just one of those people that have your head in the stupid bible!! My grandfather is married to a man now and guess what they got married in a CHURCH there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with that!! And if you or anyone else gets appalled by this I really don't care!! You are low down and frankly you and everyone that thinks like you needs to keep your mouths shut!!

Your ignorance is unfortunate. Maybe you should be damned because of your eye color, or your sex, maybe your race. But wait we already figured Out that would be called discrimination, and unconstitutional. Unfortunately gay rights lag behind but they will come.

I would like to know how homosexuals can be compared to drug addicts? That would be to say homosexuality is a chosen course caught by an addictive peraonality, when of course, homosexuality is a innate and born trate; actually much like visible human features. Education>ignorance

It's about EQUAL rights for all, and marriage is a civil law contract matter having nothing to do with religion or church, that is why you are forced to pay a fee to the STATE not the church, for a marriage license.

Considering hetero marriage has a 50% FAILURE rate, gay marriage sure isn't going to make that worse!
Marriage is shown to be a failure by that number, time to re-invent it.

Gay marriage shouod be legal but both members must certify that they won't engage in any perverted sex acts.
