bleh. okay, how can two people married effect your rights as an american citizien? thay aren't going to start knocking on your door (like some RELIGIOUS groups)

It certainly would affect society as a whole.

Marriage will lead to children. They would have the ability to adopt children and those children will not have a choice in who adopts them. Adoptive children often do not have a choice in choosing their parents, especially infants.

Those children will grow up with in a household that's not like the norm. They will be estranged, to some extent, by others but they are innocent because their rights to live a normal life was taken away by others.

the fact that only man can marry woman is only based on a christian way of thinking in the government, which (bleh) brings me back to church and state being seprate. stuff effects society as a whole every generation.

Not ONLY is it based on Christian ways of thinking, but also for many other people as well. I'm NOT a Christian, but this situation is rather upsetting for Christians and non-Christians alike. Religion has little to do with it, in my opinion.

let me start my arguement about races... again. there was a time when people disagreed that a black man could marry a white woman... or for that fact they should even be in the same buildings together... are you agianst differnt races getting married? or are you just against homosexuality.

I think now it is you who are not getting my point. Let me make everything clear, I do not have a problem with gay people, but I have a problem with legalizing their marriages. I certainly do not have a problem with interracial marriages because I plan on doing that myself.

How does interracial relationships fit into this? A person can be against one topic and support another.

the simple "man" seems almost threatined just like in the days of slavery and equal rights for women, we seemed to be threatened by stuff that goes against the "common mans" religion or belief system that has even killed people for such closed minded veiws.

But homosexuals wouldn't be considered very common, let alone be called as a 'common man'. If they should belong in that category, then there wouldn't be this controversy in the first place.

How is disagreeing to gay marriage being close minded? What if I asked you to believe in something you cannot even imagine? Can I call you close-minded then?
