Okay, I'm hitting this issue without really reading any previous posts, just because this is a hot issue in the USa, and I live in CA.

First this is an unconstitutional law, all citizens are allowed Life , Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness as stated in the Declaration of Independence.

Next, if you really want to get into to it, thinking that your religion is what sways you, well, there are a lot of non christians in the USA, and we are not a theocracy, we are a republic. Plus there's that thing that guarantees freedom of religion, oh yeah the First Amendment!

Why do people need to interfere with people that are happy?

I've heard so many arguments on this and they are all medieval. These are people that are in love. They are not worrying about destroying someone's marriage. They don't care about your marriage, they care about their own. Why are they being singled out and told that they are not allowed to marry?

In 1967 there were laws on the books in 16 states disallowing marriages between blacks and whites.


I wish someone could give me ONE good reason to disallow gay marriage, but there aren't any.

I hear this lame excuse that "it's in the Bible", well so is stoning to death anyone that sows two different crops side by side or stoning to death someone who wears garments of two different threads. Guess what, that is bronze age philosophy and doesn't belong in the modern world. I am not anti-religious, but I challenge anyone to live their life COMPLETELY from what the bible dictates.

I've heard the argument of "It's just a piece of paper" from people that are against gay marriage, that are married themselves, they don't take kindly to the question of , "Is your marriage a piece of paper?" No, neither is mine. It is a very important union. It is the most important oath I have ever sworn, and I cannot even imagine what it would be like if someone told me I couldn't have taken that oath.


But for crying out loud, does two gay people getting married hurt anyone else's marriage or heaven forbid, the "sanctity of marriage". No.

How many "good christians" have performed adultery in the last few thousand years?There have been hundreds of thousands. Did it destroy marriage. No, it doesn't hurt anyone for gay folks to marry. It's a basic HUMAN RIGHTS issue. As a member of the ACLU, you will never sway me from thinking that.

All people deserve the right to Life, Liberty, and Happiness, but that's just the American in me. I guess there are those of us that live in this country that don't really believe in the ideals of the Founding Fathers, That all PEOPLE are allowed the rights guaranteed in the Constitution and allowed to all americans, but that's always been true. McCarthiesm rings a bell.

It is entirely unpatriotic and unamerican to go against the ideals of the nation and deny BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS to people based on some characteristic, but that is in our history.

All religion and government aside, it's two people that love each other that deserve equal rights.

Just because you find someone's lifestyle repugnant doesn't mean that you have the right to prohibit it, they are consenting, loving adults. There are many people that find christianity repugnant, but you are allowed to practice your beliefs. I don't think that christians, muslims, or hindus or whoever should have their rights curtailed.

Imagine what it would be like if you had your right to marriage taken away. Just because someone didn't approve. This isn't someone "marrying their dog" this is a couple who loves each other searching for the basic rights that are afforded other people, how is that repugnant?
