I'm against gay marriage just because I think homosexuality basically goes against nature. Two guys/girls can be together for all I care but marriage is between a man and a woman.

is not about "marriage" 

is about having the same RIGHTS THAT YOU ENJOY and I don't 

Fuck I can't really think of any response that doesn't make me sound like a homophobic idiot. I'm all for equal rights for all races/sexual preference/whatever I just don't like the idea of gay marriage (yeah I know I just went agains my own beliefs). Marriage, in my opinion, is so a man and woman who love each other can be together and have kids/raise a family and the kids can carry on the family name. And that can't happen in a same sex marriage; they can be together and love each other but its missing the whole idea of procreation.

I know there's adoption and whatever but that doesn't always work out - a lot of people think sexual preference was something you're born with and not something you're taught/learn; so if the kid isn't destined to become homosexual then it isn't fair to the kid to have two homosexual parents. Lets look at it this way; I'm straight and my life is just fine. But If I had been raised by two dads my life would suck! I'd be ridiculed in school and I probably wouldn't have many (if any) friends because it would be very hard to find friends who are accepting.

Actually you'd still have friends.  You just wouldn't be friends with assholes who have issues with your parents.

In every country that lets gays marry, nothing goes wrong.  In every country that lets gays adopt, nothing goes wrong.  It is far healthier to have 2 gay parents than to have 1 straight parent.  The number of parents is far more important than the sexuality.  (And no, your parents NEVER make you gay or make you straight.  Straight parents can't turn their gay kids straight, and gay parents can't turn their straight kids gay.  Ever.)

In some places they celebrate having 2 dads.  By singing on television.
