Considering marriage pre-existed religion, I find it ridiculous how religion can dictate this practice based on someone's sexual orientation. If religion is completely taken out of the equation though, I can see no reason why anyone would be against same-sex marriage. I'm not against it, that's for sure.
Marriage is a stupid tradition, but if people wanna do it go for it. I draw the line at fictional characters and animals...thats just weird.
also I find it odd that no one has posted anything in this thread with a conservative view on the topic. I guess Jeff and the gang dont attract that kind on crowd? But then again this thread was just made 10 minutes ago.
Edit: oops, guess I took to long writing the post.
I for the legalization of it, but I also don't quite agree with the "meh, live your life however you want as long as it doesn't affect me" mentality. It doesn't affect me if a father marries his 12 year old daughter to his brother to be raped for years just to keep her pregnant, but it's still wrong.

I demand proof of this pre-existance.
anyways, as far as the topic is concerned, i'm for gay marriage. And when I say for, I mean really for. Like, are any of you guys single right now?

By "it doesn't affect me", it means "it doesn't hurt me, or anyone else". If someone did something terrible like in your example, it would be hurting other people. I'm all for it, as long as they're both human and both consensual about it.
I would prefer that marriage is just done a local level through religious or other social systems. There is really no reason for the Government to be involved in personal matters such as Marriage, regardless of what level of government it is on. With that said, I do not have any problem with same-sex marriage as everyone should be able to live their social lives how they see fit as long as it does not involve endangering others.
I'm for it. I am not religious and it would no affect me in anyway. I believe homosexuals deserve the right to get married or at least have all the same rights marred couples do.

"Penises go into vaginas for reproduction and thats the point...thats pretty much how I feel."
I think you missed the point the debate is about gay marriage not gay sex. And animals reproduce without being married so I'm not getting the connection you made here.
If they legalize divorce then you get stuck at the hip for life. That would be a good counter balance to gay marriage. Of course straight couples might get shafted too if this were a law.
I'm fine with the idea, but when I see a gay couple out in public it's very awkward. So I'm for and against it, enjoy your life I just don't want to see it. :[
