They can in certain countries. If you want to marry a same gender person, you could try changing your sex, but personally - same sex marriages are just not natural and strictly forbidden in many religions.

Because interracial marriage is between a man and a woman so it still falls under the accepted definition of marriage.  Gay marriage is a completely different concept.

You cannot make a man ask you to marry him!! And besides that, why would you want to? Personally, I would want to know that I am being asked for my hand in marriage because the man loves me and wants it, not bacause I forced him into it. Often marriages where one person or the other felt pressured in to it, don't work out anyway. Best off to wait for him to do it from his heart!

no thats not possible, Muslim women are only allowed to marry Muslim men.\nMuslim men can marry from other religions, but try to convince his wife of Islam and raise his children as Muslims.

I see no reason why gays shouldn't be allowed to marry.  Some people say it detracts from the marriage of straight people.  How?  If  a man and a woman have a good marriage, how does the fact that two guys across the street or two girls across town are married make their marriage any less valid?  How does preventing gays from marrying make an abusive marriage better?\n\nFrom what I see, the opponents of gay marriage mostly oppose it because it's against their religion.  If that is so, then they should come out and say that.  But they won't, because then gays could cite "Freedom of religion" arguments, and thus claim a constitutional right to marry.  Remember, "Freedom of religion" also includes "Freedom from religion".  And every conservative with 2 brain cells to rub together knows that they will lose this issue once they start fighting on that front.  \n\nIn my opinion, if the US ever does manage to pass a so-called "defense of marriage" amendment, it will soon become the 2nd time an amendment was repealed.  To me this issue looks like the civil rights debates of the 50's and 60's.  That has pretty much resolved itself - this will, too, with the same result.

Yes it is legal for a gay man to marry a lesbian.  It is same sex marriage that is not legal.

The sacred union of marriage is between a man and a woman.  That is how it is supposed to be.  It is completely unnatural for two people of the same sex to get married.  I will never view a homosexual "marriage" as a real marriage.  It is a total insult to me and all of the other people out there  who are in a true and natural marriage!  How dare two people who have chosen to ignore God's Word and engage in a totally unnatural relationship compare their relationship to the relationship that I have with my husband by getting "married" ?  PLEASE!!!

Well, why not?  I mean if two people of different races can get married (I'm not racist), unlike 40 years ago, why can't 2 people of the same gender who are that in love get married?  I mean, it ain't about gender, but love, people!  That's what really counts!

People marry for love,\n\nnot for body parts.

Because for every unfaithful man, there is a woman who disrespects marriage as much as the man she is cheating with.  She may be married, she may be single, but she certainly has little if any respect for marriage.\n\nSo why is ANYONE, regardless of gender unfaithful to marriage?\n\nBecause they are selfish.

A religious Jewish man can't marry a non-Jewish woman because in their faith, thereligion of the children is the religion of the mother.  If you want to marry this guy, you need to convert to his faith.  My suggestion is to not do it because women are not treated equally in some Jewish sects.

good to know you take marriage seriously, guy.  asking a woman to marry you should be nerve racking as all get out!  \n\nkeep in mind, "marriage" is only sacred if a person makes good on his/her lifetime vow "to love, honor, and cherish" their spouse ...the commitment is renewed and lived each and every day.

Men will never completely understand women.\nWomen will never completely understand men.\nAny other questions????

You also can't marry your mother, father, grandparent, sister or brother... those would be requirements. You are required by law to be of different blood.
