You mean, being married to a same sex partner, the way I am? Yes.
Having kids? Only if they really want them; because we've already seen far too many cases of a straight woman and a straight man contributing an egg and a sperm and neither one of them was fit to be a parent. I'd rather a kid grow up with two people, same-sex or opposite-sex, who really WANT children.
"Normal things" - like chasing tornadoes, the way I do? Well, it sure would be nice if I could take along a straight male friend who didn't freak out when he saw a multiple-vortex, EF3 tornado a half mile away, moving *away* from him the way one straight guy did (who also crapped his underwear, which had to be thrown away). Then again, we know what straight guys like Toby are *really* all about -- lots of conservative bluster, but generally unreliable when they're expected to come through on something.

No, they should do so quietly :P
Yes, they should be allowed to marry and have children because they are normal people (well, most of them are, anyway). Denying same-sex marriage is taking rights away that are automatically given to heterosexual couples that are either married or have been cohabiting for a long time.
Quite a few studies have shown that gay couples raise more balanced children, so I won't deny them the right to send good people into the world. Also, the "parents are gay, so children will be too" argument is nonsense.

Yes:
Yes:
No: No to the last one because what you see as being normal is a long way from what happens in most households. Few of us know how many women are subjected to physical and emotional abuse, same goes for daughters and even some sons. You have a view on what is a normal family and assume that as you walk down the street most homes that you pass are as that view is painted in your mind. Yet rather than that being normal its not how most are.
Rather than it being a normal lifestyle, the illusion you believe in, that is how just a few live.
Therefore how ever a gay couple live that is normal. Normal for them.

Ignore all the people who are against this. Yes, I think people who are gay/lesbian should have the same rights that every other HUMAN has. We are all humans at the end of the day and at the end of the day we should each have the same rights. I have a friend who is lesbian, she and her wife are happily married to each other, they have kids but I forgot how many.
No matter if you are gay or lesbian, even they still need to eat, and drink and keep clean and live their life like the rest of us. I see no reason why they shouldn't live like straight individuals, PERIOD.

Yes, gay men deserve basic human rights. Gay men should be allowed to have kids, not only because its morally right, but because there is a lot of children in orphnages who would give there lives to be loved by two people, regardless of sexual orientation. Many people believe that gay couples raise gay children, but that is a myth because straight couples do not raise straight children. Gay people participate in the same everyday activities that everyone else does. They go to movies, they go out to lunch, they take walks in the park, they go to school, they have jobs. There is no justified answer as to why gay people do not have equal rights. For christ sake it is legal to **** a horse in more than 10 states in this country. But when two people want to get married and love eachother for the rest of their lives, thats where we cross the line? Love knows no gender, no age, and no color. Love is love.

Why not? We are people. We work and pay taxes, go to school, have families, worry about money and politics and safety. All we want is to live and love while we struggle with what life is throwing at us. Better question is what did we do to have equal rights denied to us, what crime did we commit? The only answer is that we love and have sex with adults of the same sex.

Definately yes!
It doesn't matter whoo you fall in love with as long as you both love each other. Gender shouldn't matter, it's irrelevant when it comes to love just like wealth and nationality is irrelevant.
Everyone should be able to love freely and live the life they want.

If they are aloud, the noise will be overwhelming.
If they marry, they'll have gay kinds (proven).
If they have kids, the kids will be gay (proven).
If they go on having gay kids the entire world population will be gay, and the human race will die out.
If they do normal things, they'll get the jobs and tr8 people will be out of work.
Simple logic.

No to "gay marriage" or having children!
Homosexuals are only interested in one thing,and it's certainly not love and commitment. They are filled with lust. At first I thought, that it was just a stereotype of them just wanting sex all the time, but it is real. The constantly harass other men,even straight me. Seen it on here for myself "How can I turn my straight friend gay",and so on.
They mainly blame Christians over not being allowed to marry but Charles Darwin also agreed that homosexuality was unnatural and would lead to the destruction of the human race. Gay activists don't go after an atheist icon or run inside a Mosque protesting because Islam teaches that gay people should be killed. I'm atheist myself by the way.
Also,what Jaun said is correct in terms of children need both a mother and father.

Until someone can give a reasonable/valid answer as to why this should NOT happen. This question is moot. People are people, Live and let live. It is NOT your business nor mine what others do.
