Gay Marriage
Most of the people that disagree with gay marriage argue that it will demean the true commitment and institution of marriage itself according to traditional marriage vows. Do you agree with this? If so, how can you argue that straight couples in Hollywood have not already done this with marriages' sometimes lasting less than a 24 hours?

I don't see why 2 people that love each other shouldn't be allowed to get married.
If marriage had stayed a strictly religious institution than I would say that it was up to that particular religion what their rules would be.
Instead this is a legal issue.
America and its laws are "of the people, by the people, for the people".
As much as it might annoy conservatives, gays are people too and should be privileged to the activities that even heterosexual murderers are allowed to participate in.
I believe that gay marriage is wrong because the Lord created man and woman to be joined together and that is the only way it should be. I don't ,however, openly discriminate them. I realize that even though I don't approve of the actions they do I can't do anything by myself to change what they do.
Victoria, I disagree with gay marriage for the reasons you stated not only concerning the vows but it was intended for a man and a woman. Gays are allowed to marry but that doesn't make it right. Even though it is right to them.
I agree with both aaron and pmoten. Marriage is defined as the union between a man and a woman. It's a sacred rite and shouldn't be marred by modern ideas and opinions.Change is always welcome but we Question the direction of the change.
I believe that people have the right to choose what they want in life. It's not your fault to be born gay so you can't blame them for that. It's not right to judge them for being who they are, lets just accept who they are. There is no right or wrong in this topic but I think you can do what you want with your life.
if you want to argue that since sacred times that a union was between a man and a woman only then you should check your history books because homosexuality has been around as far back as ceasar, alexander the great, and so forth. also the bible has been changed numerous times throughout time so who's to say it 100% right?
I agree with Helen and want to take it a step further.
Why limit our society to what people in the past thought. They are not living now, their situations aren't our situation.
If you are determined on living how people in the past did shouldn't you have a criteria beyond doing what your forebearers did?
Perhaps we should live like the ancient Chinese did since their society has lasted the longest or perhaps like the Spartans who were lovers of war much like our society can tend to be.
Why limit yourself to following like a sheep when you have so many options?
I believe that any and everyone has the right to marry and be with whoever they want. If man created man and woman to be together, why did he give men the ability to love another man? Or women the ability to love another woman? I definetely believe that it is nature not nuture.
to nita's post:God made it possible for you to make choices,n thats why sometimes we end up making the wrong decisions,because we have too much choice/freedom.
n now back to gay marriages;i personally am not for it,like aaron said,marriage is for a man woman,n just because its made legal doesnt mean its the right thing to do.
I know that some people talk bad gay people but i don’t see the point. I think everyone has the right to choose whatever its good for their lives. Gays has the right to love as any person in this world. Two of my best friends are gay and they're going out, and to be honest everyday i see how much they love each other and how they respect each other, so im agree in gay marriage. I don’t see anything wrong with that.
The "institution of marriage" is wrecked beyond repair. If two men or two women can unite and stay together longer than the average heterosexual marriage, I would think they are doing something right. In my opinion, "marriage is a joke" that people use for self-gain or for "citizenship."
