i was just reading this article and it got me curious what others here might think about it. i personally could care less. i mean if they want to be miserable like a lot of other married couples, i say let'um.
I feel the same about it as I do about straight people getting married. If its what you want to do, you should be able to do it.
There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.

I've nothing against gay marriage and nothing against gay adoption. If they want to be together, and if they think they can raise a child, then i don't see anything wrong with that.

I think that gay marriage is completely fine, same with gay adoption. If a child is being offered a chance at having a safe, loving home to live in, it shouldn't matter if the couple are gay. There are people who argue that a child should have a mother and a father and it is damageing to have gay parents. What if no straight couple wants to adopt a child? Certainly it would be less damaging to have a gay family then to be moved from foster home to foster home for 12 years with no family at all.

I have nothing against gay people getting married, as long as they will be good parents.
I do have my restraints on thinking that some people, straight and gay, shouldn't have kids or raise kids.
Marriage doesn't automatically mean having kids though. Surely unsuitable parents should have equal right to marry as suitable parents, but not equal rights to raise children?
I've nothing against gay marriage and nothing against gay adoption. If they want to be together, and if they think they can raise a child, then i don't see anything wrong with that.

I have absolutley no problem with gay marrige at all, same with gay adoption if you're able to raise a child in a caring, loving home. If you're happy and in love with another person, it shouldn't have to change just because it's the same sex.
I actually am a lesbian, and Ive always dreamed about having a big white wedding ect. I dont know much about what gays can and cant do in terms of marrage ect. I know that here in england atleast we can get a cival partnership. But to me that sounds a bit different from a marrage.
I dont see what the big deal is. Marrige is a way of saying that you love someone completely and want to be with them forever. Whether they stick together or not is a different matter.
And since the point of gay adoption has been raised I'll comment on that too :)
Im a lesbian so I can just go to a sperm bank and get pregnant myself, but for gay guy couples I understand that its not so easy. In my opinion its better a child having a loving family with a gay couple than them being unhappy in an orphanige or wherever. As long as their loved and cared for and are happy I dont see anything wrong with it.
Seriously, go for it. My cousin's gay and I went to her wedding reception and her and her wife looked more in love than an awful lot of straight people I've seen. Not to generalise that or anything, but taking that into account, how could someone say that a straight couple who are not necessarily in love have more rights to get married than a gay couple who so blatantly are.
I mean, I can marry my cousin for christ's sake! And people are still trying to get rid of civil partnerships? This is why I hate society.
I'm gonna tap him like a maple tree. I'm gonna search him for some syrups. I'm gonna be having sex with him.
Everybody has the right to be in love, if they want to show that by committing to each other through marridge, then they should be allowed to do that.
The thing that bothers me is when religion comes in the way of gay marridge, if gay couples have to get a civil partnership because marridge is a religious institution, then I think non religious couples should have to get a civil partnership instead of marridge.
If that makes sense.
basically same as everyone seems to be saying - no problem with it, marriage in general i could disagree with but nothing to do with the couples sexuality!

No issues at all.
Why should there be?
Just because you're the same sex, well, so what?
F*k anyone who has a problem with it, if they love each other, & are happy, & it's a stable environment for children(if they adopt), then I see no problem with it & I say go for it.
I plan to marry my Fiancee Hel & adopt with her, or use an alternative forms of conception, so yeah, I'm all for it.
