that would probably be the case for virtually all surveys

Yes, let's toss a comedy hurr option onto official polls too
Maybe a frog on a unicycle
marriage is a Christian ceremony for a man and a woman it's conducted by a priest. the church think sex other than for the sake of reproduction is a sin it's in the bible, therefore gay sex is a sin and gays shouldn't be married. this is why priests are supposed to be celibate and the church encourages sex AFTER marriage and discourages the use of condoms.
don't get me wrong I don't think there's anything wrong with gay couples or gay sex. Priests are paedophiles, condom's are great and I'm not religious, but if a gay couple want to be married they can invent their own ceremony. why would anyone want to undergo the religious ceremony of a religion that thinks their matrimony is a sin?
That's funny I didn't know Jews, Muslims, Atheists, etc. couldn't marry either...

Or be married in front of a secular judge...

Or that the US, a fundamentally secular government, could support a religious institution...

Gays don't have to have a religious ceremony to get married, no one does. The problem is that gays are not allowed to get court marriages, either.

Persecution complex detected. Also, you're simplifying down to "oh, it's just an opinion." It is an opinion, but it certainly shows that America is still full of bigots and behind other advanced nations in terms of tolerance.
[QUOTE=cecilbdemodded;25322233]I think what's happening is that marriage itself is not the big deal it used to be. Lots of people put off marriage for lots of reasons and just live together.
So when marriage itself is not such a big deal, it's harder to get all worked up over who can get married or not. Most people have bigger worries these days than if a gay couple wants to get married or not.[/QUOTE]
Marriage also has tax and financial benefits FYI

Ironic how america is all about freedom and yet the freedom is so limited
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;25324010]People are polygamist creatures by nature, that doesn't change the fact that you can have just one "life" partner, doesn't change that it's natural.[/QUOTE]How many times do I have to tell people this?
There is no natural way of human sexuality; both monogamy and polygamy are equally natural. There is no biological evidence that points to either one, it's all about sociological factors.
well when you have people like this

freedom is slavery

Yeah minus that whole slavery thing we had going for the first 100 years and the discrimination thing we had going for the next 100 years.
I honestly don't get why some people are still against it to tell the truth. Hell I have a gay friend I would love to go to his wedding. He throws crazy parties his wedding would be insanely huge.

Weddings also cost a ton. So legalize gay marriage to stimulate the economy.

We used to be pretty bad in the way of acceptance of females and other races, but we're definitely much better now, and now-a-days everyone is pretty much equal

In general, just about all mammals are instinctively polygamous, it's just really simple evolution. More mates = more babies.
