By all means if you are gay and you want to get married, knock yourself out. Who am I or anyone else to say no.

It's not about marriage in my eyes, it's about equal rights. The gays just want the same things as everyone else.

Since i believe that homosexuality is nature, not nurture, then i figure why not.

There are so many other more pressing things to worry about in the world then two people who love each other enough to want to get married.

It's not my business, and i don't see it unravelling society.

I know a couple of gay guys and it may surprise you that there is an element of the gay community who oppose marriage. They view it as a straight institution that they want no part of. They prefer to be a fringe community and enjoy being part of something different. They see the ability for gays to get married as acceptance into the larger society, something they actively oppose.

Interesting, but i leave it up to the individual.

As far as the Catholic Church threatening Jean Chretien with his immortal soul I would say to them, "you had better worry about your own souls cause I think God will be much more pissed off with those pedophile priests and the catholic church that attempted to hide and sweep it under the carpet for years than he will ever be with Jean Chretien giving equal rights to his (God's) gay children."
