Gay and Lesbian Marriage

I made a survey at school, asking people what their opinions on that subject were. It's a VERY controversial subject, so much so that I had to add a new option besides "for", "against", and "neutral". I had to add "not comfortable speaking about it". :/
In fact, when I asked someone to pass the survey to the person behind them, they refused to because they didn't want to be assosiated with it. This one kid had the nerve to whisper and point at me. When I said, "What?" he shook his head as if to say, "nothing!". I was surprised at how ignorant they were, too. A few actually said ( whispered, actually ), "But.. if you put "for", it mean you're *gay*!"
So I would like to know your opinions. Are you for it? Are you against it? Are you neutral? Or are you just not comfortable talking about it? Please give explanations ( except if you've chosen "not comfortable" ).
AND PLEASE POST ONLY ONCE. I want to tally up the results, and it'll make it a lot simpler. Thank you! :-)

If you ask me, I'm not against it at all. I have nothing against gay/lesbian people. I respect and let them live their lifes. :)

I have absolutely NOTHING against gay/lesbian people. No matter what government, or whatever, does to stop them, or seperate gay couples, they will still always be around. I actually respect them quite a lot. :D

I'm for it! Power to gay people! :D

Marriage is about love not gender. I'm definetly for gay marriage. I think it's ridiculous that people are still debating this. There is no reason for it. It's like when African Americans and women weren't allowed to vote. It's so ridiculous! One day people will realize how stupid they are being and just let them get married.

As long as they are two (or more, I don't care) consenting adults, I don't care who marries who.

I'm for it.

What's wrong if they get married? What kind of negative consequences there would be in my life? None. So, let them live their lifes in peace.

I am for it. If it's such a problem to call it "marriage" call it something else.
Ya, the Church is against it, so have it done by the state.


My uncle and his spouse were the first (or one of the firsts) gay couple to get married in Massachusetts. I think that's pretty groovy.

well if gays can get married why can't my goat and I hitch up?

I'm okay with it

It makes me sad that some people think that gays are going to hell. I know lots of gay people and they are normal. Someone very dear to me in my family is gay. How would you feel if you couldn't marry the person you loved just because they are the same gender as you? There was this kid in my woodshop class last year who was very prejudice against gay people. It finally got to the point where I asked my teacher if I could go to the bathroom because I was about to cry. The things he said were so cruel. I couldn't belive he would talk about somebody I loved like that.

I don't see what the big stink is about.

All for it. Not allowing it means discrimination, and it's a basic human right to be treated equally (Universal Declaration Of Human Rights, article 1: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.(...)"). So that means a gay person has just as much right to get married as a straight person in my ears. Anyone opposing this is guilty of violating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and thus, IMHO, guilty of crimes against humanity.

The government has no right or power to institute marriage. Therefore, homosexuals shouldn't be allowed to get married under the state, and neither should heterosexuals.

Of course, I do realize how unrealistic this is. Therefore, I believe that homosexuals should be allowed to marry, on the grounds that their union does not infringe upon the rights of any others. Therefore, legislation against it is a SEVERE overstepping of our government's powers, and an ATROCIOUS curtailment of our natural liberties. We must do all we can to preserve our absolute negative liberties, whether we are or are not directly involved with the issue at hand.

This has nothing to do with love, and everything to do with freedom.

Im not gay, so, i really shouldnt fight against it, because t doesnt affect me, which also means Im not going to campaign for it. But, my personal opinion is, if they want to get hitched, if they love eachother, im all for it!!

The way I see it, is, how would i feel if a bunch of gay people started protesting against heterosexual marraige, when I want ti get married? What if they called it sick and wrong and told me I was going to hell for it? I would feel pretty fucking lousy, thats for sure. So, my opnion, live and let live!

Peace baby, peace.

Well, these people have the right to express their love in whatever way they wish. So, i'm not against it totally.
