There should be no "benefits" that go with marriage. Naturally, single people finance those benefits disproportionately. Gay or straight, go have a little ceremony, do whatever you have to do--but leave the government out of it. It's an antiquated institution that represents an old line of thinking. "Stand by your man/woman" no matter what is antiquated rationale that is no longer applicable. I'd rather align myself with what's right than take permanent legal vows.
I so wish all this energy were put into the progression of the way we institute healthcare, child care, and property rights, and we stop shackling people with legal contracts that, the majority of times, fails due to the frailty and mutability of human emotions.I hope this doesn't sound too bitter, pessimistic, or cold, for, in spite of my personal beliefs, I have always supported the equal treatment of ALL people.
Marriage is antiquated institution, and should be banned from human society. WHAT could be more inane than LEGALLY binding affairs of the heart!?! Instead of fighting for such a destructive, limiting, and corrosive force in human affairs, the normally progressive peoples in same-sex relationships should put their significant intellects behind the progression of human institutions, not vesting in one that has endlessly and statistically failed its participants.
The fact that some people remain so ignorant, about what gay marriage means or that they will cause some sort of sexual deviance to happen to a child is ridiculous. A child doesn't care who its parents are. It just wants its parents to love it and care for it! I would have rather had two moms that loved me then straight parents who couldn't care less and were physically abusive. THAT IS REALITY. I lived it. Sure sometimes things get better, but sometime the best thing is adoption.
If Mr. TimothyRed wants to really get real for a minute, he'd realize that studies have shown the overwhelming majority of pedophiles are identified as HETEROSEXUAL! The notion that being homosexual has any real equation with that kind of violence is laughable at best.
Yes! I admit it! Heterosexuals molest more children than homo's. But it only becuase we outnumber you more than 10 to 1! Cars kill and injure more people than motorcycles, but does that make Cars more dangerous then motorcycles? NO! Motorcycles Kill and injure more people on a percentage basis the same way that homosexuals molest children at a higher rate than heterosexual men do.
If homosexuals are allowed to marry, it could make it easier for them to adopt! Aside from the molestation issue, What about the poor child who has to grow up without a mother? Do you know how important the bond is between a male child and his mother!? Even a homosexual would admit a close bond with his mother. The poor kid has TWO DADS! I'm sure a few kids could make it through ok, but the majority would be hopelessly emotionally scarred.
First off, the male child you refer to in this video is a girl which is me. Thomas Jefferson said every1 deserves LIFE LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. Molestation? WTF!?!?!? how the #(@& did u come up with molestation and gay marriage. You need to research what your facts are. And this is coming from a 13 year old. Your father and mother should have taught you better.
Its quite obvious you do not know gay people. We are far more sensitive than hetrosexuals. We can be a mother and father all rolled into one. I can build a house and cook a gourmet meal and still clean the house or change the oil on the car and teach respect and love to a child.
I'd support homosexual marriage if we could add a ban on new gay adoptions. I dont see why they cant do what they like, as long as children are not harmed.
I would tell you, but, you are 13, and I dont think I should be the one to say it. You are probably one of the few that can live and adapt without the love and nurturing of a mother. If you are happy, I am happy.
Timothy, I really don't think you know what you're talking about. I have two gay dads also, and my brothers and I are grown up and in our twenties. There's no reason why gay men (and lesbians) can't raise perfectly happy, healthy children. We're just as likely to be well-adjusted, productive citizens as people raised by straight moms and dads.
Equality, exactly! I also have two dads, and I certainly wasn't harmed by it. Children are only harmed if they have abusive, neglectful, unstable, and/or unhappy families. Gay people are just as capable of providing loving, supportive, caring homes as straight people.

I was molested at 13 by a known homosexual in town.
its a horror I'll not soon forget.
He got less than a year in jail, and is still living in my home town.
I had to move away, because I dont want to run into him.
Protect children from homosexual "marriage"!!
FRH!

NO!
and why compare two homosexuals to two abusive people!!?
If I said I was against littering (and I am) would you say "Well, it better than an OIL SPILL"? duh!

I am not sure how children are harmed, can you explain?
