Gay Marriages

[Pyrosama]

I don't understand at all. People get married for a different number of reasons - love, arranged marriages, business coupling with a mixture of young with old, black with white, christian with pagan. So, I really don't understand the problem when it comes to the sex of a person. I'm not gay, but I think gay people should have the same opportunities as anyone else.

If you love someone and want to join hands in marriage to have the law recognize you as a legal spouse, then I think you should have that right like anyone else. The law grants specific rights to legal spouses and for that reason by disallowing someone a marriage license because they are the same sex, well...to me it's just discriminatory and it violates the equal protection clause to the 14th Amendment which says that no State shall 'deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.'

The part I don't understand is why they don't change the stupid wording and make it "join two people" and not "man and woman". So what if Christians or any other religions don't like it. There's a good reason for the need for separation of Church and State...like what was already stated above. Sorry, this took so long to write that I noticed another post after posting.
