I'm very impressed with how open-minded VGChartz is. Give yourself a pat on the back everyone.. you deserve it!

No one loses anything with gay marriage approved. Homosexual people get access to benefits, like inheritance and social security from the partner, a right that cannot be denied because it's their will to engage in a union with their partner. Since homosexual relations are as natural (not as common, but as natural) as heterosexual, it's only natural that unions give them the same rights.

Heterosexual people don't lose anything with gay marriage, they still get the same benefits as before, their union is as valid as it was before gay marriage existed.

Therefore, gay marriage should be legal, because it gives more rights to some people who are excluded and doesn't take it from people who have them now

I voted yes. I don't see why not.

Though I also think all marriage benefits should just be gone anyway. I think it's ridiculous the government is all up in marriage in the first place.

Stuff like inheritance, social security... stuff like that should be transferable to whoever or not at all.

I voted yes because I think that's the spirit of what you meant, but I think legal marriage between a man and a woman should be the same as someone of the same sex...

nonexistent.

Everyone should fall under a civil union. The type of relationship should have nothing to do with it either. If I am a straight guy who has lived with another straight guy for 20 years, we fall under the same financial considerations as a married couple. What about a mother daughter that have lived together all there lives. Why can't they be on the same insurance, or have the same legal rights at death.

Change the law to civil union for everyone, and then allow many ways to qualify for a civil union. One of those ways could be a religious union.

Then it's up to the specific religion to figure out of they want to let same sex marriage's to take place.

I don't know if i'd allow a religious union to be one of the ways.  Unless there was another non-religious "fast track" way.

Otherwise, you may end up getting something in 1 day that an atheist would have to wait 2 years for or get married by someone.

Other then that I agree... marriages shouldn't be state run.

One way could be to just declare it. I would think the religious union would be the hardest of all the ones that came to mind to achieve. The fastest, would be however long it takes to get to the courthouse, and fill out a form.

I don't care for marriage

See, just to declare seems problematic.  I'd think you'd want to put SOME kind of test on it.  Eh, then again, people can just declare marriage now more or less.

I do, sure you can call it a "meaningless ceremony".  However I don't think it's meaningless if you put meaning in it.

I do believe most care that's why so many are trying to get the right to get it. As for me, I don't see the point, maybe later in life I would let someone have access to half of my asset, but not yet.
