I say who is the government to tell you who you can or cant love/get married with? (btw Im not gay) If Bob and Joe want to get married, it doesnt affect me so why the hell would I care? Am I suddenly going to become gay just because gay marriage is legal? No.

The government is pretty hypocritical IMO, they say we have freedom of speech, religion, etc, but no gay marriage... You would think that with the progression the US has made in the past 100 year in terms of human rights, that gay marriage would have been legalized long ago.. but somehow no.

I think it should. maybe not call it marriage but a union or something.

Of course there's much more to it than that, but I usually don't let my political views show, so this is where I end.

There is just as much hypocrisy in the government as there is in the Bible. :/"

Please elaborate on said statement, because that's one forefront Njord won't let you kids spew ignorantly about. At least not here, where other minors can see it.

the bible is extremely hypocritical. an obvious example is one of the ten commandments is "thou shalt not kill" and then later in the text it says everywhere to stone people for things ranging from wearing cotton blend clothing to gay marriage.

which is why I don't take the bible seriously. I just use the jist of it.

It should be allowed. People are born with the feeling of the same sex and shouldnt be judged differently for marriage/ for anything. I have gay friends and i dont mind at all. You see gays holding hands whatever more than once in a blue moon. If they want a ring to assure it, let them do so. Boyfriend to husband, we all see the same thing, its just that marriage is official. If one boyfriend broke up, its not like they'll go for a women. And somewhere i've heard some gays were force to marry a women so a marriage would be 'legal'. <.< Its not right. Let gay marriages be allowed.

Well actually, the "thou shalt not kill" is sort of a controversial translation, because the original Hewbrew version uses similar or exact words for "kill" and "murder". However, "murder" was used, it's just that most Bibles translate it as "kill", which in today's society means the same thing as murder, just about. No idea why, I just know they do it.

Also, after the death of Christ, we are no longer under the rules/laws set by Moses in the Old Testament. Which is why churches don't put homosexuals, or cotton blend wearing people to death. Good point though.
