I've just been thinking about all the stuff that has been going on in the US regarding homosexual marriage and what not. What do you think is the best thing to do? Should homosexual partnerships be legalized, or should they not?

I don't think it should be legalized only because you are saying to kids that this is a normal thing and it isn't. I am not against homosexuals but to let them marry gives the all go ahead and hey there isn't anything abnormal about homosexuals in the mind of children.

I think it should be recognized as a domestic partnership not a marriage. It should give them the same rights as a married couple and should also have to be done in the same manner should they split up. The same rights should also be given to hetrosexual relationships who have lived together for longer than 2 years. To me marriage is between a man and a woman and it should remain that way.

The thing to remember is that a homosexual person is always going to be homosexual. Therefore there is little point in trying to make life difficult for them or treating them as someone different. A homosexual person is going to set up home with someone whether the law recognises the relationship or not, so it would make sense to legalise marriages and allow these people to live the type if life that we do. How would you feel if marriage between heterosexuals was not recognised, so that if you die your partner will have no claims to the family home?

Vampkat, Revdauphinee and weemam, sometimes we just can let the things goes like that and slowly after that the world will get used to it and can accept it. But in the case of homosexual marriage how can you all think this is ok to be happened? I strongly don't agree with this kind of marriage as it is against the nature. Of course the did not ask to be born as a gay, but we should have to think what will be happen in future with the world as homosexual relation can lead to a problem such as aids. By letting the homosexual marriage to be legalized is actually promoting more aids cases to be appeared in our community.

To tell a gay man that he cannot marry another man is the same as telling him that he cannot marry. It makes no sense to tell someone, "Yes you can marry, but only if it is someone that you wouldn't choose." As a woman who has been marrried to a gay man, this is a life that shouldn't be chosen for someone. People deserve to be happy.

Love is love and no person has the right to tell another person whom they can and can not spend the rest of their lives with, especially on the basis of "it's against nature" or "god forbids it". Especially since there is no irrefutable proof that a divine being exists or that said deivine being would be opposed to homosexual relationships and homosexual activity do actually "appear in nature". If a person loves someone and they wish to spend the rest of their lives together they should be allowed to do so and the government has no right to tell them otherwsie. Should homosexual marriages be allowed? I believe so.

I do not see why not , they love each other , they did not ask to be born gay . I have some gay friends and they are such lovely caring people , I am fat but nobody ever asks should fat people marry each other , I know that does seem a bit daft , but honestly I don't know any reason why they shouldn't , they want to make a commitment just the same as any other couple xx

I am against homosexual marriage. I am not against two people having a civil union so that they can have someone they need when there is a time for a next of kin to be present for example when they are hospitalized or for insurance or other reasons keeping in mind that it doesn't necessarily have to be two homosexuals having a civil union but it doesn't exclude them either. All my life I have seen the sign in the City Hall's everywhere that it is illegal for two to marry unless they are one man and one woman and not related. It was a crushing blow to our traditionalist Judaeo-Christian values when homosexual marriages started to emerge and I have been disheartened and very concerned about what this world is coming to since then. I think God is very sad about this. This is my opinion.
