I start this of by saying the following:
Gay Marriage should be 100% legal
This is true no matter who you are. Even if you HATE gays because god has condemned them and feels they are abominations. Well thats all well and good but here is the problem, "god" doesn't have any say in our goverment what so ever.
It's called the Separation of Church and State and it's in our United States Constitution. That is that. No further argument needs to be made. Not one for gay marriage, and not one against it.
Though I think we have all seen that the Separation of Church and State is total BS and it is unfortuantely not as strictly enforced as it should be.
Jumping in late, but you'll find no argument here. In fact I'm from the first and only 1 of 2 states that legalized it. (Yay MA) and the only other state that currently has the same standards is immediately out neighbor (Yay CT)
Gay Marriage is one of the issues I feel most passionately about as a bisexual and as a believe in equal rights, especially when the arguments against are purely religious (Unless you disike marriage in general)
