1) Wow, you need to learn to spell. Then perhaps people will take your rantings seriously. \n\n2) We do have other things to worry about than gay marriage. However, the gays are forcing the issue on the American public, whether the public is ready for it or not. \n\n3) Some of your rant doesn't even make sense. \n\n4) Unemployment, preJudice, economy, global warming are areas that the federal government shoudl NOT be involved with anyway. This is not their purview as granted by the Constitution. \n\n5) As for your views on immigration, I agree with you that people can come here and pay taxes AS LONG AS they are NOT taking anything out of the system (welfare, housing, education, health care). Kids joining the military to "pay off" their parents debt is not going to happen; our military is a PAID force. \n\nFLOOZIE: Get off your duff and start paying attention to what is going on around you! This affect  you, your loved ones, and your children!!!\n\nI appreciate the fact that you took the time to think out your opinions. However, a little research and education would do you wonders. You're on the right path to becoming a nice conservative though!

It's "Christians" trying to hammer their beliefs into everyone.  In this case, you're right, it's a state issue and not a religious issue since it involves property and adoption rights, etc.\n\nThe same folks whine that gay and lesbian people do not form lasting relationships [which is not true] and then turn around and try and ban marriage.  What hypocrites!\n\nThey should try compassion, love, tolerance and JUSTICE for a change.  WWJD?

Its only an issue because married people have rights that other people do not .\nNow if we suspended the credits and tax breaks married people had then it would not matter .\nSpecial treatment for anyone is wrong in a democratic nation .\nWe need to get rid of all laws that do this .

Several people at my church in Michigan are Canadians, including the 2 ministers. From my long and thoughtful conversations with Canadians I have found that Canadians are a very diverse group of people, yet are unified by a strong desire to remain separate from the US both politically and personally. As one Canadian put it " being a Canadian is like living in an apartment above a noisy drunk, an incredibly well armed drunk."

I see the moral issues, as they pertain to politics, as growing pains for a country with our form of government, largely populated with people who claim to be Christians.\n\nFor me, the Supreme Court started this decline with legislating morality, when the Constitution leaves this matter to the States.  \n\nEvery group will not be made happy.  Christians are wrong to believe our rights come from the Bible, although I still believe the Bible is where our forefathers got their ideas of freedom.\n\nHomosexuals are equally wrong to believe they have Constitutional protection for marriage.  This was not something the forefathers imagined or intended.  \n\nThe S. Court started down this slippery slope with decisions most of us think were good.\n\nConsensus is impossible to achieve, which is why our forefathers implemented the safeguards.  This is not a democracy, and the majority does not rule.  Sorry if that's what you were taught in school.\n\nI think the current approach, sending homosexual marriage to the States is a right decision, based on the 10th Amendment to the C.\n\nThe easy short answer is that both camps are wrong.  Christians cannot make laws just to please themselves, and individuals and other minorities cannot either.

Gay Marriage and flag burning...the usual ones that the GOP brings to the ballot box to help their chances.  Neither of these issues means jack crap in the grand scheme of things.  Not one American would be hurt or affected by either issue.

Definitely Canada - you would have marriage and adoption rights, socialized medicine, more open minded neighbors, less violence . . . trouble is getting into the country to begin with.  Unless you own your own business it would be difficult.  They're recruiting young small business owners to emigrate & bolster the economy on the local level, but other than that Canada has a tougher immigration policy than the U.S.

Gay marriage is absolutely a civil rights issue.  By preventing any two consenting adults from marrying, solely because of their homosexuality, you are discriminating against them.  It is unfair for gay couples to be prevented from marrying.  \nA common argument (of fundamentalists) is that since a gay couple cannot naturally reproduce, they should not be allowed to marry. But many straight couples cannot naturally reproduce either. Another common argument is that gay marriage will promote pedophilia. Statistically, most pedophiles are straight white males. \nGay marriage does not affect anyone but the couple themselves. It will not "turn" anyone gay. It will give couples equal rights to insurance, shared property, and the same rights as a heterosexual married couple.  \nWhile each of us has the right to our own personal belief about whether or not homosexuality is, as you said, an "abomination", we do not have the right to force our personal beliefs on others in such a way as would affect their lives and happiness permanently.  \nAfter all, if someone told you you could not marry solely because you were straight, I imagine you would be upset. Straight may be normal to you and I; but to gay couples, being gay is their reality.

I have nothing against same-sex marriages. I think it's really stupid how the government is not allowing it in the US. We have the freedom of religion. Wouldn't that mean that we have the freedom to choose what sex our marriage partner is? This topic is purely religious, and what happened to "seperation of church and state"? For the land of the free, there are a lot of useless things restricting our freedom.

Republicans realized it could be a wedge issue and capitalized on it. Interesting definitions of "marriage" given by responders above. They all sound religious. The topic, I believe is civil marriage -- marriage as recognized or performed by the state. \n\nThere are children in US institutions and foster care who need 2 parent homes. Gays should be allowed to adopt such hard-to-place children. This would probably occur defacto. Mothers giving up their babies  and agencies with young, easy to adopt children would continue to choose straight adoptive couples.

Well, aren't they already doing that with immigration and the ever election-looming issue of gay marriage?  (Note how we don't talk about gay marriage until it's election time...)

Its been quietly going on for some time.  The recent furor over legal same sex marriages has just put it in the public eye.  Lesbian priests, gay marriage, and western civilization hasn't fallen.
