Gay marriage -- should it be legal?
- Yes
- No
Yes. Duh. I mean, you can call it something else if you absolutely must define "marriage" as a girl-boy thing. But I don't understand why some people seem to object to this idea so much. Why do people feel so threatened by the idea of gay people getting married? Now, obviously I support gay rights, and I have lots of gay friends, including some in long-term committed relationships. I don't care if they get married. I don't care if my non-gay friends get married. In these days, when so many straight marriages end in divorce, you'd think social conservative would be happy to see committed couples of any type.
Geesh, some people wanna stick their noses in where they seriously do NOT belong! WHO CARES, PEOPLE?! Why, in an age where there are so many things to worry about in this world, does something that's really SO UNIMPORTANT become a major issue? Poverty, homelessness, abused kids, abused wives, natural disasters, the death of Social Security, a medical system spiralling out of control, wars, terrorists... and they're worrying about whether two people of the same gender get married?
And what's up with this strange idea people have that a committed gay couple will automatically turn any children they have gay? I mean, gay kids come out of straight marriages. And straight kids come from gay marriages. You're gay, you're gay. And you're straight, you're straight. It's not like the orientation of your parents automatically determines your own personal orientation!
