Being against gay marriage now is like being against interracial marriage 50 years ago or being against divorce however many years ago. You're on the wrong side in history.

I am not against it. It is just a contract between two people

i thought gays could get married,straight people get married down the town hall all the time

are we talking gay marriage in churches and mosques,i get a bit confused by it all

You made a very fine point mentioning polygamy, If they make gay marrigae legal then why not make poligamous marriages legal aswell? if its all about rights and equality. Make that legal too whatever you might say, but when will it stop?

We live in society that the only moral principle is: "If it dosen't physically hurt anyone, then why not"? That's it. Think about it. People expect you to be "open-minded" about everything now.

The question is: "what will be our base for moral principals?"

There are ceremonies held by religions and there are contracts held at goverment offices. A church for example is not forced to held a homosexual ceremony if a goverment recognizes the right for homosexuals to marry.

You guys have a point and I thought about it before as well. At one point some type of partnership will be discriminated against or everything will be permited. I still don't have any problem for same-sex couples though. I think the solution, like members mentioned in here as well, is for the state not to take part in any type of marriage.

Why'd you duck, Axum? We all love you here!

OT: I fully support gay marriage. Not one human being should decide if someone can or can't marry someone else.

In my humble opinion, the Government should be out of the marriage business.  If this was the case then marriage would be a totally religious thing and at that point it would all but irrelivant.  If for some reason the government needs to be involved then at a maximum it should be the state governments rulings on this and not a federal law.

Now having said that, and seeing that the government will probably not get out of the marriage business, they must pass laws based off of some moral ground.  In the U.S.A. that moral ground is based off of Jedao Christian values, and as such gay marriage should not be allowed.  If a government allowed gay marrage then the next logical step would be for family members to marry.  This may sound a bit insane but many would do it just for insurance reasons.  So then one has to ask what exactly is marriage?  Again the answer to this question doesn't involve the government, but it is two people making vowes in front of God.  

In most peoples view, the government could go away tomorrow, tear up everyones marrage certificates and the people that were married would still consider themselves married.  Does anyone really need the government to tell them this?  Unfortunately, this comes down to money, and if the government wasn't so large (and powerful), then this wouldn't be an issue at all.  

Now the real question is why are there so many non video game posts on a video game site?  

Same argument could have been applied to interacial marriage.

Im all for it. in the sense that it doesnt bother me at all because it has no effect on me and anyone else who isnt gay. So i think if you do have a problem with that's your loss and pretty pathetic aswell. why should anyone be able to tell others who they can marry the only peoples business it is are the gays getting married, they dont tell you what to do.

We play video games but I know I for one do much more than just play games.  That is why I like to talk about other things besides games every once and a while.  I know I do make a lot of off topic stuff on this site but I'm interested in other people's opinions on the subject.  We have a very intelligent user base for the most part and some people bring up very good points about many off topic subjects like Jay520 and Kain.  Many more, but they are the first two that comes to my mind.
