No they can't. In some states, a justice of the peace can perform marriages. Georgia is one of those states.\n\nG\nGeorgia\nLicensed or ordained ministers, clergymen, or pastors of recognized religious societies, and justices of the peace.

Special rights? Giving gays the right to marry is a "special right?" Gays are forbidden to participate in marriage, so if anyone has a special right, its straights. \n\nAs things stand now, we can be forbidden to see our loved one in the hospital. We can lose our partners estate when our loved one dies, even if there is a will. We are denied the right to marry and adopt. I could go on all day. \n\nAnd lets dispense with the notion that rights for racial minorities and rights for gays and lesbians are different. Blacks and other racial minorities have many more rights then gays. So if there is anything different between gay rights and racial rights, its that gays have it MUCH WORSE then anyone else when it comes to equality.

I don't think the government accepts gay marriage in any form yet, you will have to wait until gay people are given the right to be miserable and need a prenup!

I guess this isn't a question for me. I'm for it. They just want to be a family like anyone else. And it's unconstitutional that they don't have equal rights. Marriage is not a religious institution. It is practiced all over the world in all religions. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GOD. It is about 2 people coming together, making the promise to love each other solely, and starting a family together. More over it does not effect anyone outside of their marriage. What is it hurting? I don't know, you tell me.

I doubt it. Most countries are less tolerant of special needs kids than the United States, and even in the US there are lots of court cases attempting to define who should and who should not be allowed into an inclusion setting.

Mental retardation must be hereditary in your family.

No. The federal government determines citizenship, and the Defense of Marriage Act pretty much says you aren't married, regardless of what Massachusetts says.\n\nhttp://www.lectlaw.com/files/leg23.htm

romadgo..utter rubbish!...Nothing wrong in common law marriages, I do not live in the US, I am pagan and as a pagan I got 'wed' we had a handfastening ceremony.  Just because its not recognised by law doesnt mean it doesnt work.  Many of my friends live with their life partner, and have kids. A piece of paper doesnt keep you together, love does

Yes. \n\nThe Catholic Church allows marriage between Catholics and non-baptized persons. \n\nThey will have to get permission from the bishop. This is because the Church recognizes the tremendous challenge they have ahead of them.\n\nWith love in Christ.

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.
