The whole gay marriage became an issue when they wanted the same rights and perks that straight married couples had (death benefits, insurance, etc.). There is nothing wrong with that. Let them. More power to them.

People, NO MATTER WHO SAYS THEY CAN, cannot control emotions and the release of such. If a man falls in love with another man, who is to say that is wrong? Are they hurting anyone????? Are they out to destroy the moral fiber of the people? Not any of the ones I know, if anything, I have found most of my gay friends (both male and female) to be not only extremely loyal to ourfriendship but less judgemental, less holier than thou and far more supportive than many of my straight friends. Do they hit on me or try to shove thier lifestyle choice down my throat? NO, not in any way, shape or form.... just the opposite they respect me and most of my choices.

Then there's this government issue. Do we really need the government to be in our lives anymore than it is?

Let's say they pass this amendment, that now gives the government access and the right to dictate what we do in our bedroom. In doing so, anything other than the missionary position is illegal as sodomy would then be illegal (anything other than missionary position is defined as sodomy, that is in the MILITARY CODE OF JUSTICE) .

Now, with the Patriot Act and police rules, as lax as they are, this amendment would allow them a reason (like they need one) to come into your house at anytime.

The only people in my opinion not wanting gays to marry are those that are either homophobic because they question thier own sexual orientation, OR they want more control of OUR lives. Either way it is wrong and it will eventually destroy what freedoms we have, because just as the right say taxes never end so do the laws passed. They pass how and who you can marry, they'll push it as far as they can and NOONE HAS THE RIGHT TO TELL ME WHAT I DO IN MY BEDROOM WITH ANOTHER LEGAL AGED ADULT.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
