yes it should be legal, the people that are afriad i twill affect their relationshiops don't have strong relations and fear losing their loved one. RIGHT TO PRESUE HAPPYNESS. Marriage is about love not religon creed or sexual orentition, if you really wanan look at it religously I'd guess that jesus would have hung out wiht the gay guy or girl or the bisexual just like he hung out with the prostitute and blind guy and the guy with lepracy, if theres anyone  who he wouldnt hang with its the guy saying no these arnt people and that they cant live happily and love who they want  to. I'm not even religous I just like to give what i think even catholics and cristians can think cuse I used to be one till I decide I was bisexual ... and I think the only thing needed for marriage is LOVE.

I definately think it should be legalised for medical use but it really can mess up your head if you use it all the time....it totally slows down you reactions, can make you paranoid and so on....i don't think once in a while hurts but if it is legalised in needs seriously regulating so people dont go too far.\n\nHope yr good now

Gay marriage ought to be legalised. Homosexuals should have the same rights that heterosexuals have. Many conseratives point to the bible in defence of illegalising same sex marriages. This country should not be ruled with the Bible in either case. The first amendment clearly states that Congress shall make no official religion. Other than the bible, these conseratives have no real defence. Many state that homosexuals will destroy the institution of marriage. Stats show that 50% of HETEROSEXUAL marriages end in divorce. For years, heterosexuals have married for less than pious or romantic reasons. Many have married because they were inpregnated as teens. Many Golddiggers have married simply for monetary gain. The institution of marriage has been destroyed, by heterosexuals. Perhaps homosexuals can bring back dignity and love into marriage.

I particularly like "Same Sex Unions in Pre Modern Europe" by John Boswell and it would be neat to see his evidence online, perhaps in timeline form.  Gay marriage is a hot topic, and those of us who do history know that this whole "marriage has always been between a man and a woman" thing is total crap.  Plenty of societies have had, allowed, and encouraged same sex marriage, like Native American societies.  I would like to see more about that online.

As a biologist I must weigh in.\n\nThe terminology and methodology of you stance is a bit off.   As we populate and compete for resources that are scarce, there will be increased competition. Problem is that the way the world works, that has little bearing on the real world. In Africa kids starve daily. In America kids are obese. There is no natural selection taking place.  As the population expands, there will be groups of HAVEs and groups of HAVE NOTS. But the HAVES will have few external influences on their mating.\n\nHomesexuality has been around a long time. It is seen in animals, and people. Throughout history at times it was commonplace and accpeted. Regardless of what you may read, no one can say for sure the causes of homsexuality. It is probably a complex set of genetic variations, behaviors and experiences. It could be genetic, as some familes have high incidences of homosexual members, but it is probably more spontaneous.  \n\nAs an aside, it is patently FALSE that states which have gay unions have a falling birth rate. You quote the need for references, put your money where yuor mouth is. Lets look at those few states and look at the birth rates and all the variables and see the true facts.\n\nback to the question. No, as a species we are not evolving towards gay. If population is a true evoluntionary problem, people will become less fertile, as many animal models ahve shown. Numerous species where competition is tough have fewer young and would be less likly to produce offspring regularly. That is how mother nature operates.\n\nif anything, the evolutionof our species will ultimately end in parthogensis where women can self fertilize making males obsolete. If we were to model the human species against animals we would see similarities in population dynamics and this could be the future in MANY thousands of centuries.

Being homophobic will be your downfall.  While I cringe at the thought of fudge packing, those fairies have the right to do it.  It makes them feel good.  I don't think it is right to discriminate any humans, regardless if they like to smoke pole or not.  So no, the bible (created by man) is incorrect in saying that riding another man from behind has to die.  The bible is incorrect about a great many things.

not particularly fresh or new, but yes, Gays should be able to legally marry.

It should definately be legalized.  If alcohol is legal, then marijuana should be too! I don't think the death statistics for smoking a joint are near as high as the ones for alcohol.\n\nAccording to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2004, 16,694 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes - an average of one almost every half-hour. These deaths constituted approximately 39 percent of the 42,636 total traffic fatalities.

No, i wouldnt be in favor.  i'm not a smoker, but i do think that it should not be outlawed.  There are many things that have no benefit to society, but are not outlawed.  Like pantyhose, or boston cream doughnuts, or comb-overs.    We cant just start outlawing everything.\nI DO think it should be restricted to private residences, so people can chose whether they want to be around second hand smoke.

No Jackson. Not only should President Bush not support gay marriage, neither should anyone else. If the gays and lezbo's want to play house, then they can just simply live together and pretend. \n\nI do not believe it is fair to straight (normal) couples who believe in the religious sanctity of marriage to have it defaced and demoralized by the irregulars. \n\nFurthermore, I blame the media for allowing this concept to become "acceptable" behavior.  If it wasn't splattered all over our TV, cramming it down our throats in sit-com's, they would all still be in the closet.

Wow Marcell, You have really demonstrated what is wrong with conservatives. So I assume you mean that giving gays like myself the right to marry is a "special right" because we didnt have that right before. Wow. I think its likely you would be quoting mythology in all your arguments. My firmly held belief is that you cannot explain things rationally to people who believe in an invisible man in the sky who sees everything they do and is waiting to smite them if they step out of line. Its just nonsense, and the sooner more people reject this mythological hysteria about virgin babies and magic boats that hold millions of animals and prophets falling from the sky, the sooner people will adopt reason in its place. But whether or not people are willing to question their dogma, I'm still going to fight for a womans right to choose, for full rights and inclusion for gays, etc. I'm not going to let someones silly mythologies and superstitions stop me...

No.\n\nThey say no one wants mary jane legalized because they poll 70 year old priests with a lack of understanding on the issue or the drug itself.\n\nReality is that anyone who's caught smoking Mary Jane is a felon.  That shouldn't be the case.\n\nExcuse me, but who are you to tell me what I can and can't do with my body?  And who the hell asked you to poke your head in on my business.\n\nThese laws were created back in the 50's under christian right wing politicans.  These include no alchol purchases on sunday, no oral sex, etc.\n\nObviously it's time the US did away with such baseless and pointless laws.

Sorry about your luck.\n\nThey need to legalize the stuff.  It's a lot less dangerous than alcohol!

My view is this: If two people want to be married, fine go ahead and it doesn't matter if they are gays or not! But also they should know if they get divorced or have kids they should have the same rights as everyone else! Not because they gay or straight they should be able to take the responsibilities of what they law says it's accordance to the law!
