VOTING INSTRUCTIONS: No civil union talk here. Either you support same sex marriage as equal to opposite sex marriage or you dont.

If you post on this discussion, I only ask that you vote in the poll (either before or after discussion) as well so that we can see how this strong atheist community views gay marriage.

Thankyou

I support it as I fail to see any differentiation between a loving relationship of same sex couples. It is just a silly ceremony (my POV) but for these people it means something.

And then there are the LEAGAL issues to consider and I cannot see why these couples should be excluded from them

I can find no rational reason for homogays to be prevented from getting married.

Not my business what any two or more consenting adults want to do together - I couldn't care less if a group of 100 people wanted a mega marriage.

I don't understand the reasons against it and no one has ever given me a rational response.

I oppose it, because there are better things to think about.

What two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home is their own damn business and no-one elses.

So we can read your response as ambivalent??? "Never really thought about the issue??"
