Two females or two males who wanted to have a kid would probably be much more dedicated to their child than most heterosexual couples are anyway because of the work it would take to get one. But still, ideally, a child should have a heterosexual couple as parents, that's just the way it should be.

Changes in reproductive technology & social behaviors will force the legal system to deal with these issues. They already have had a significant impact.

The only problem I can think of is Jerry and Bob who aren't gay but don't plan to get married for a long time could get married just for the tax breaks, health insurance, and cheaper car insurance. Even if everybody knew they weren't gay they couldn't do squat about it since they are legally married. Probably won't happen a lot but it will happen.

Guess thats true.
I thought that the main points against Gay marrages are:
I don't really think that either is a good enough argument against gay marrages, but I can see why insurance companies lobby to stop them.
To me it doesn't really matter either way what they do, if they want to get married, so be it. They can do their own thing, and I'll let them be.
- Increased Insurance Costs
- Religious Reasons

there are a ton of legal reasons. one that being rights when your "partner" is hospitalized/dead/dying etc. or your ability to sue in cases of wrongful death etc. i remember that case in san fran where a woman got mauled to death by a dog. her partner couldn't sue or something because she was only a domestic partner. whatever u say, its not very just. marriage is a sociatal construction.
not as if heteros are doin all that great with marriage anyways.
apparently for some, we need more suffering in the world, its never enough🙂

Marriage is, and always has been, between a man and a woman. It is a religious and spiritual institution. If they want to create some other "arrangement" or union such that legal standing can be defined etc, I don't have a big problem with that..... Allowing same sex partnerships to be recognized as 'real' marriages devalues the value of marriage in my eyes, and forces people to accept a change in the meaning of one of their religious institutions. Based on my personal views, a marriage between two men or two women is no more possible than a marriage between a man and a tree -- it's just not right. If, to allow gay people equal rights under the law, some sort of other union or contract is created, that's anothother story altogether.

it isn't a religious institution in our society. non religious people marry too. people of different religions also marry. if you don't like it, don't let them marry at your church, that is your right. other then that, your right to deny others marriage is a bit shady. there are too many government benifits/regulations/laws on marriage for it to be a religious only institution.
as for devaluing marriage. i don't see how thats possible unless you start marrying people for financial or other petty reasons.
in the end, your denying someone else something because of your religious beliefs, which is rather sad. i could say all noncatholics are not married under the eyes of god, they should be denied marriage.

In an age where any offense to any person(s) is taken seriously, offending the religions that hold a marriage as sacred and between to heterosexuals by calling the union of two homosexuals a "marriage" is wrong.
I have no problem with giving the same rights and priviledges to couples in a gay union, or whatever the pc term shakes out to be. I dont see where offending the religious groups that hold a marriage as sacred and between to heterosexuals is right or does anything to promote the acceptance of a gay lifestyle.

Well, you can't leave out Biblical reasons. First off, I'm not a Christian and for the most part don't have an opinion on the matter. Now, the Bible is very clear on where it stands on homosexuality. If you truly believe the Bible, which a lot of people do... then why wouldn't you protest the marriages? That's your answer even though you may or may not like it. It's basically a "because the Bible says so" or.. "that's not what God wants" answer. I know it's almost like a cop-out but, thats just how it is.
