One of the most dominant myths used by forces opposed to marriage equality is that allowing same-sex couples to marry would somehow negatively affect religious institutions or apply restrictions to their freedom to worship as they choose.
Although this myth is patently false, that has not stopped some opponents from using the claim to lead people to believe their religious freedom is in danger. Fortunately, in New York, we do not need to speculate on how religious institutions, spiritual life and the freedom to worship will be affected if the state passes a law allowing same-sex couples to marry. New York needs only to look to our neighbor to the east, Massachusetts — where marriages for same-sex couples have been legal since 2004 — to see that the worries about such a law negatively impacting people of faith have been unfounded.

I don't understand the argument "Marriage is a religious institution." No it's not. You are only married at City Hall, the church ceremony is purely a tradition, but it's not legal anyway. It's the law! Hello! Hence, marriage is not tight to religious values, but to the law.
You don't like gay people getting married? Fine, but at least bring me an argument that makes sense (btw, there isn't one, but keep trying) :o)
No, no they are not. Marriage is a civil right. If you cannot get married and you need health care, you can't get it from your partner. There are plenty of gay couples who have been married now and your trying to take that away from them.
Back in the day different races couldn't get married, and this is pretty much like that. Your 'racist' against gays. Lovely.
"Back in the day different races couldn't get married, and this is pretty much like that. Your 'racist' against gays. Lovely. " Interracial marriage is still between a man and a woman. Don't use the "poor black people excuse for everything." It's really very pathetic.

I do believe in our Consitution is clearly says everyone is t have equal rights.
They already have equal rights, but are trying to make marriage whatever they want so they can feel less stigmatized.
