I honestly don't care, any two people that love each other very much should be married eventually. Nuff said.

What does it matter?
Marriage should be between two people who love each other,
and anyway, Gay relationships seem to last longer than straight ones so yea. Why not?

I got into a debate with my friend on this, me for and him against. And countered each and every one of his arguments, I'd like to think.
That largely depends on the dictionary. I checked about six or seven dictionaries, at least half of which either had gay marriage as an acceptable substitute, or the ONLY definition was between two people who loved each other, with NO mention of gender at all.
It's very natural. Homosexuality is fairly common in both the human AND animal world. And if you wanna use the sex excuse, that's basically saying a marriage should revolve around sex. If you wanna think that, fine. But I doubt most people do think that.
This one was a bit controversial for me, being the religious guy I am. I don't wanna turn this into a religious debate, but I guarantee you 99% of the people who use this excuse have never even read that passage, or ANY of the Bible, that says that. Two main reasons why I say this:
1. The passage most people refer to says gay sex is wrong. It says nothing about gay marriage/love in general.
2. That same passage says "playing with the skin of a pig" (football?) and working or playing on Sunday are wrong. But we can still do that, right?
I personally believe the Bible was designed as a guideline for the time it was written. While it still should be used as a guideline for a Christian life, it is not a set in stone, follow this TO THE DOT. But that's just my feelings. Say I'm cherry-picking which of God's rules I wanna follow, and I'll tell you you're doing the same, Sir Holyer-Than-Thou.
Ironically, the friend I had this debate with, has stated multiple times he feels no connection to Christian, or any, religion, and has denounced any and all belief in God.
See also: 99% of celebrity marriages, but we allow those.
Face it, for many, many people, marriage is hardly sacred nowadays. I like to think that it still is for me, and hope to never get divorced, but gay marriages do tend to last longer than many straight marriages.
Stereotypes =/= Fact
I'm not racist, so PLEASE, PLEASE do not take this that way, but do all African Americans sit around eating KFC and not paying child support? Are all Chinese people good at math and video games? Do all Irish men get drunk until the floor spins round and round? No. It's a stereotype that represents a very minor percentage of a group, and could just as easily apply to any other group.
Damn, I've been outsmarted.
I really hope this didn't offend anybody, but these are just my views on the matter. I have gay friends, and I feel that a gay man has just as many rights as a straight man. Unfortunately for me, most of the people living in my area don't feel the same, so this is a view that labels me as a bit of an outcast. But just the same, I am 110% FOR gay rights.

I meant it this way:AndyB said:
Straight marriages end up causing kids, then the parents split up so the kids get split up and it gets *censored.2.0*ty
Gay Marriages cant have kids unless they adopt or use a turkey baster (lol), so it isnt as bad during a split up

Over 50% of marriages end in divorce,AndyB said:
I just think everyone should have the right to marriage, regardless of sex and sexual Preference
So? More than 50% of marriages, even gay ones, are in it for the sex/the companionship. They have nothing to do with love. And now it sounds like you're hating on straight relationships. THINK before you act.Neko Yuki Pyrozanryu said:

I don't care. As long as there's no PDA, I don't care.
I don't see why they can't get married, to each their own. Everyone has the right to love who they want to love and I don't see how anyone can tell people "no" on that issue.
And just don't turn this thread into any flames, and it'll stay open. People have a right to their opinion, don't argue. I've not really seen any of that on the pages I've skimmed through, but just saying.
