Gay Marriage/Same Sex Marriage....WHATEVER!!!

        So, do homosexuals have the right to get married? I think the answer to that Alex is......YES, sure why not. And im not saying this because im gay. Why should homosexuals be limited to that right. You have some people that is all for same sex rights but when it comes to two homosexuals getting married, they say HELL NO!!. Why is that? I think it has a lot to do with the fact that lots of straight people look at marriage as this spiritual commitment in GOD's house. And since being a homosexual in this world is unGodly and abomination, why should gays be allowed to get married? Then you have some that say, "well its just a piece of paper, why do you want it?" Then you think about it....."the same reason your married or want to get married!!!".

         Homosexuals believe that when your in love, that is the most dedication you can show one another. The straight society thinks that gays are all sleeping with each other and the relationships are built all on sex. That is not the case. Homosexual relationships are just the same as a heterosexual ones. They're loving and trustworthy to their mates. They understand the meaning of family life.

          I can name 6 reasons why people don't accept gay marriages:

            1) Its between a man and a women (since the beginning of time).

            2) The bible said its wrong.

            3) How will children be born?

            4) And if you do decide to raise kids, the enviornment is not a great one for a child.

            5) The church would have to conduct the union against their will.

            6) In all reality, people just think it's weird

      One of the reasons people get married is because of benefits. To my understanding when you have health insurance, you are allowed to put your partner's name on it as well. Homosexuals want the right as well.

        In this article I was reading, the author says:
When gay people say that this is a civil rights issue, we are referring to matters like the fact that we cannot make medical decisions for our partners in an emergency. Instead, the hospitals are usually forced by state laws to go to the families who may be estranged from us for decades, who are often hostile to us, and totally ignore our wishes for the treatment of our partners. If that hostile family wishes to exclude us from the hospital room, they may legally do so in nearly all cases. It is even not uncommon for hostile families to make decisions based on their hostility -- with results actually intended to be inimical to the interests of the patient! One couple I know uses the following line in the "sig" lines on their email: "...partners and lovers for 40 years, yet still strangers before the law." Is this fair?

           If our partners are arrested, we can be compelled to testify against them or provide evidence against them, which legally married couples are not forced to do. Is this fair?
In most cases, even carefully drafted wills and durable powers of attorney have proven to not be enough if a family wishes to challenge a will, overturn a custody decision, or exclude us from a funeral or deny us the right to visit a partner's grave. As survivors, they can even sieze a real estate property that we may have been buying together for years, quickly sell it at a huge loss and stick us with the remaining debt on a property we no longer own. When these are presented to a homophobic probate judge, he will usually find some pretext to overturn them. Is this fair?...........read more at http://www.bidstrup.com/marriage.htm
