Do you think homosexuals should have civil unions?

I don't see why they can't do everything straight people can.

I think political correctness must have a limit. If you are gay and Christian, then you must admit that engaging in such acts are sins.\n\nThere is no middle ground, no 'practising gay' should say Christianity allows homosexual acts.\n\nBeing gay is your right, but Christianity (The Bible) has a right of it's own to condemn such acts, as contrary to their teachings and that of God's.

I'm perfectly fine with the idea of gay marriage. Perhaps those against gay marriage just done want to be outdone by spectacularily fab weddings that are sure to be the result of gay weddings. On the downside, if gay weddings would be lavish, tastefull affairs can you imagine how nasty a gay divorce would be! Yes, I am being silly, but in all seriousness I think that whoever wants to get married should be able to.

I dont think that wanting to spend your life with that one special person, (no matter race, creed or sex) is a bad thing! If your in love and it's true than who is it hurting to make it legal?\n I dont think that homosexuals should be segregated!! I think that gay marriage should be legal! It should be every individuals choice!

If two people want to live together, they should live together -- regardless of sex.  I'm not a big fan of institutional marriage -- all those Biblical concepts (marriage, gays...) are misinterpretations.  Let people do what they want - as long as they don't infringe upon other people's rights.  Practice tolerance and minding your own business.\n\nPeace.

I'm not sure why you care. Is it for the monetary benefits they could then enjoy as a legally married couple? If it's not about money, then why make such a big deal about it? The bottom line is how two people feel about one another and not some definition of "marriage" that society chooses to make. I think I'd revere two people who were dedicated to one another who didn't need the formality of marriage as a crutch. Spend your time living life, not debating it.\n\nIn my opinion, the basis of your arguments are that you want society to accept homosexuality as a normal human condition. Unfortunately, homosexuality is not a normal human condition by definition because reproduction is necessary to preserve the species as it is with any animal on earth. It's true that 10% of the population is genetically homosexual, but so is 10% of the population deaf or blind, but that doesn't make it normal. On the other hand, skin color, nationality, culture, gender, and other potential racially related discriminant features are simply manifestations of human evolution on earth. Darwin's theory of evolution cannot support homosexuality as a normal development of mankind.

I don't think LOVE really knows any rules. If someone falls in love with another person of the same gender, I think they should be allowed to marry.\nand why should it be disgusting? or is it that people permanently imagine how gay people have sex? well, i don't really wanna know what some "normal" married couples do when they have sex. that's maybe also disgusting.

Absolutely. I'm married and am hetero. And I think ANYONE (with certain AGE exclusions of course) should be able to marry ANYONE else. What is the freakin problem with that? Are people afraid that gay couples are going to multiply and spread their "disease" across America? That's total crap.\n\nNOBODY can come up with a rational, intelligent reason why gays should not be allowed to marry, Most people's sorry-arse theories include something like, "Well if gays can marry...WHAT NEXT, cats and Pygmies? The abolishment of polygamy laws???"\n\nLive and let live, America! Stop being so spineless and narrow-minded.

Nope gay peoples should never allowed to get married.\nBecause marriage for for a man and a woman and it leads to a family. They should find their way of dealing with each other and leave the marriage thing for people who wants to have a family

In response to Pieceo..whatever, are you comparing gay men and women to monkeys?  You probably don't think Americans of African descent should be allowed to vote either huh?  Our present government is a fascist regime that feels the need to micromanage its subjects.\nCivil unions are not an exceptable substitute.  Why?  Because they do not come with the tax breaks and financial advantages that marriage does.\nPeople say that the "sanctity of marriage" should not be tainted by gay love.  I challenge that.  I think that the "sanctity of marriage " is tainted by people who are abusive, and in loveless marriages because society says you should not get a divorce, or society says you should be married by a certain age.  Isn't love the basis for marriage?  To have and to hold for better or for worse?  What part of those vows can a homosexual not fulfill?  \nBIG BREATH. okay, I need to stop ranting now.  sorry  Oh and by the way, the reason people first came to live in this great country was to get away from oppression, because there ARE countries that are much worse.  Let us never forget this is the Land of the FREE and Home of the Brave.\nI'm really done now.

Unequivocally NO! If they chose that life style then so be it, but as far as benefits are concerned out of the question.  Societies fall from moral decay and that is a fact, and ours is well on it's way, I do believe all this gay and lesbian stuff is about to blow up in their faces.  It is a life style that destroys the vary meaning of marriage between a man and a woman, In my opinion they are an insult to humanity.  I believe it is time our religious leaders and government gives these people a loud and clear message that the party is over and will not be condoned by our society.

I personally think it is silly to want the state involved in any marriage either straight or gay. Marriage is a formal ceremony stating your intentions before God it is a travesty and an abomination to invite the state to take part in such a union. I have a marriage license but only because my minister required it. I think if I was to get married now I would find a minister who would agree to do it with out the states intrusion. Regardless of if I was marrying a man or a woman. Although as a bisexual I don't think I would ever get married again.

Yes, and I feel it's a moral issue.  How dare people discriminate against people for something that is in-born in them!\n\nReligion has no place in this argument.  This country was founded on the principal of separation of church and state.  Marriage is a legally recognized contract, and the church should have no say in the matter.  If a church doesn't believe in gay marriage, they don't have to let the gay couple get married in their church.  If individuals don't believe in gay marriage, they shouldn't marry someone of the same sex.

Yes! I hope they pass the laws banning gay marriage, but I think they should have some rights (in hospitals and such).

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 agree that it should legal. The only reason it's not is because the right-wing seems deadset on living in the past and not progressing at all. It will happen one day, trust me. There were people who once said black people or women would never have the right to vote either. And to the first answerer, homosexuality is not the only way AIDS is spread!
