did you know that there are radical left wing groups who oppose same sex marriage because its "a pet issue of white cis male gays" and the institution of marriage "actually needs to be dismantled because it's inherently oppressive to women and people of color"?

Gays are people, too. They have the same level of thought as other people. This is a free country. People should have the rights to make their own decisions. And you know what? It isn't going to help a state if they prompt an entire community to move out to other states. Just saying.

as far as homophobes are concerned, gays aren't people lmao

well i still don't see why the government has to be involved in marriage to begin with, but eh. legalization of same-sex marriage doesn't bother me at all
 
it's because marriage isn't just about ~love~ or doing whatever in front of God or some frilly shit

it's about taxes, legal formalities, etc.

that's why not allowing certain people those benefits based on antiquated beliefs that shouldn't even be applicable given the whole separation of church and state thing is pretty inhumane

if the argument was about simple word choice (marriage, civil union, whatevs) and definition then yeah totally bring up the involvement of any government, but it's totally not about that and anyone who honestly thinks it is is a fool who's willfully blind to the issues
 
I support gay marriages, and live in a country where it's legal. If you love that person then there is no reason that you should be stopped from marrying them. Marriage isn't even a religious thing anymore, seeing as how it is a part of general society. If people are cool with atheists marrying, then why not the gay folk?

ok
 
Well same sex marriage is already legal over here, and I am all for it anyway
Sexuality isn't a choice, and its basic rights to let people marry the person they love, so of course it should be legal in that sense.
 
i'm also from a country where it is legal but america is 2-3 hours away driving so i don't want anything to happen to me there
 
maybe soon, Australia will finally wake up and smell the roses, and legalise gay marriage because come on. Even the sheep shaggers in New Zealand beat us to it, and the last thing any of us want is to lose to the bloody Kiwis.
