Description
I don't personally agree with it, but I think the government should not enforce morality. If it's between two consenting adults, OKAY. I don't care. I really don't, and I'm tired of it being a political issue. However, it should be called a civil union because marriage IS actually a religious constitution between a man and a woman. Not trying to go all religious or whatever here, but it really is. Fact is fact. So, leave gay people alone, let them have their civil union. They're not hurting anybody. Just don't shove your sexual preferences down other's throats. That's my only beef with it. Other than that, I realllllllllly don't care.Stamp is free to use my lovelies~

I'm a huge supporter of gay marriage, and I'm happy you support it in your own way, even though you disagree about it.

Morality? Love should not be considered as such. Morality is what you do that is right.

Oh. My. God. Now you truly are a hypocrite, you believe in human rights and beliefs on how the government shouldn't have an effect on me and yet you have all these stamps and pictures against the very thought.
How absolutely ignorant can you be?

Exactly. People can have whatever beliefs. You don't see many Christians bashing other religions as excessively as homosexuality these days.

I agree with most of what you've had to say. My only beef is the marriage vs. civil union thing. Honestly, if the word "marriage" is a religious term, then all "marriages" etc etc in legal terms need to be labelled as civil unions as well. Because they ALL should provide the exact same benefits to the person's chosen partner - whether that partner is the same gender or not.
If "marriage" is a religious-only term, then it needs to get out of the paperwork. And it should ALL be referred to by the exact same phrase, with the exact same benefits.
Just my way of thinking is all.

And you are 100% correct; it doesn't belong in freaking politics. It doesn't belong in any government or legal policy. What goes on between two consenting adults behind closed doors is their freaking business, no one else's. I don't care what people do behind their doors, so long as they are not harming anyone, it's their freaking business and they have a right to it.

Wow, I actually came across someone who doesn't agree with gay marriage but supports it anyway? You have my respect.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. Although, not necessarily "supports". I just think people should stop arguing about it. Especially in politics. I'm more concerned on economic issues, not social. I don't care what people do in their bedroom as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

Good for you to support equal rights even if you dont agree with it 
Through I do have to metnion Civil union does not cover almost any of the benefis and rights that gay marriage has. In most states they don't even accept civil union as a equal piece of paper/

Well, that is what I would suggest. A civil union that has all the benefits and rights as marriage does.

Marriage isn't a religious thing, and hasn't been for hundreds of years. Two people can get married in a courthouse by a judge with no priest nor holy book in sight. Marriage is for merging wealth and decision making powers between consenting parties. The ceremony and bible talk is completely accessory, and unnecessary for the license.
Civil unions aren't the same as civil marriages, they don't provide the same rights and they're a superficially 'separate but equal' but really not equal document. I'd be okay with civil unions if they were like Canada or New Zealand's. Where there was no such thing as 'marriage' except as a colloquial term. And the government contract is only 'civil union' for everyone. But that's not the way the US legal system works and I doubt it could be easily changed. So I'm for gay marriage, not gay civil union.

The problem with having "civil unions" and "civil marriages" is that they would be theoretically the same but would not be the same thing. One would define a straight couple's union and the other a gay couple's. That might sound all good and dandy until you realize it leads to separate but equal thinking. Dangerous grounds to tread. We either need to accept all unions, gay or straight, as "unions" or "marriages" under law. Religious marriage ceremonies, I agree, should be left alone (thankfully for religious gays, some churches practice gay marriages).

I agree, but if marriage is only a religious right it shouldn't be a legal term. In other words bonding between a man and woman should legally be called a civil union as well. For it to be called a marriage would then have to depend on the independent person and their beliefs. If a christian wanted to call it a marriage they could. However, that would make the term usable to a gay christian if they got married in a church and wanted to define their union as a marriage.
If it was too long and didn't read sort of thing, If marriage is actually religious than the term shouldn't be in the government shouldn't be using it as a legal term.

I really don't understand why marriage is a government thing anyway. Back then all you had to do was get a preacher or whatever to approve and announce you married. That was it. It is in the government now because religion is what helped and kinda influenced it (and it is made to be done with a license so whites and blacks couldn't marry back then) It is in legal sense civil union. But I believe since, many others refuse to allow the right, calling it a civil union (but allowing all the same benefits as marriage) would make it easier for people. Gay people get their way, and can be legally together, and "married", and it will make others shush. My thing: compromise. Best way to get things done.

The only problem is you get people who get it in their head separate but equal. It actually isn't equal at all and leads people to be hate filled. If marriage is such a religious thing it should remain as that, but civil unions should be what binds people together not matter who is getting married to whom.
As mention compromise doesn't work. Though they may be equal it's still going to lead to a lot of hate. Blacks were segregated and got equal education, but in a different school. All that did was fuel that hate against them. In the end they were still treated like second class citizens.

It's not really separate but equal since no one can marry a person of the same gender, it's the same rules for all, when you're born they don't stamp gay on you and say you can't marry. Of course that still wouldn't be fair if gay couples could not gain the same legal privileges akin to marriage.

Right. Sorry. That is all I have to respond to.

I agree with most of this. Yes, they should be allowed to get married.
