I think it's a complicated issue. In today's world, marriage is done so often for all the wrong reasons. I believe that divorce is the bane of society, and that as long as there is rampant divorce, society can't function correctly. When I talk to gay couples about their relationship habits and the reasons they want to get married, it's usually all the wrong reasons and they usually change primary partners fequently. This leads me to believe that having gay marriage would add to the divorce rate.
Like I said, I'm against divorce, so if someone pork-rolled a no-divorce law with a gay marriage law, I'd vote for it.... but I don't think that would ever happen. I think that gay couples (in general) want short-term marriages.
Civil unions have never been adiquately defined, in my opinion. Is it just a temporary marriage? I mean, I could go for that: "John and Jill will be married for legal purposes from January 12, 2009 until January 18, 2009" Heck yeah! Then those people who really aren't destined for marriage (whether gay, straight, whatever) will have something to do without having the implied "so long as we both shall live." It will be predefined as short term.

It is as acceptable to be gay as it is to be human. There is no choice, you are born the way you are born.
Gay people love, fall in love, commit, and are human so why not allow marriage. Fact is they couldn't mess it up any more than straight people have been doing for centuries.
I think a civil union is the closest thing gay people have to marriage right now. I also think more straight couples should consider it instead of a marriage they are not going to truly commit to.

You can be anything you want to be. Who you choose to sleep with doesn't concern me in the least. A marriage or civil union should be allowed, at least within the legal system. A marriage is a legal contract, that's why it takes a court to get a divorce. A church should have the right to deny someone a marriage, but not the government.

I think it's ok for a person to be gay. Who am I to judge or care about who someone sleeps with? I'm all for gay marriage or civil unions.
