Before I say anything, please don't let this turn into a flame feast. It's a serious topic.

I'm curious to know everyone's views and thoughts on gay marriage. It's becoming a bigger and bigger issue in the United States, and it's even outlawed in many states, including my own.

What is your views and thoughts?

if two people love each other, I see no reason why they shouldn't be allowed to get married =p

My government sees a marriage between a man and a women. They have also have stated that it's "against God", but then that goes back to the separation between church and state. They've removed the Ten Commandments out of every state & local office, but they're outlawing gay marriage. It's contradictory.

don't see an issue with it

I don't see why it should be outlawed. I understand if the churches don't want to marry gay couples, but that should be up to them to decide, not the states. They should definitely be allowed to "register" their relationship (not sure what it's called in English, when you just go to some office and say that you are now married, which gives you all the benefits of a married couple in the eyes of the law).
Over here, gay marriage is legal, and some priests are letting them have their wedding in the church (which usually causes some controversy, as the church has no official standpoint on this that I know of, and there are many against it as well).

I don't care, does not affect how I live in anyway .

Sure, you only live once so you might as well be happy.

I just don't see why everybody cares so much about the government acknowledging their marriage. Just have both partners agree on marriage without signing any contracts to the government and its the exact same. Prevents the ridiculous divorces too.

Some of the goverment laws these days are a bit out of hand though.
God's rules and laws shouldn't really effect a non-relgious marriage, so if they really want to marry just let 'em

I see no problem with it, and like dt said, if you love each enough enough, then why shouldn't you be able marry.

Once again: Damned religions *shakes fist*
