I am 100% in support for gay marriage, banning it i find pathetic and extremely unfair.
You dont chose who you are attracted to, you cant chose who you are, what colour skin you have, what colour eyes you have so why should your life be limited because of it, its discrimination to a huge degree.
When coloured people were banned from using certain sides of the roads or doing certain activities all those decades ago, people were sickened, commented on the level of discrimination and said how these people were being treated badly because of what they are, and protested it and it was stopped mostly, this is how gay discriminaion is, people being treated differently because of the way they are, its sickening to see it happen.
If two members of the same gender happen to love eachother and want to commit to eachother then why shouldn't they be given the option, the right, to do so ? Straight people do afterall, the only difference is the gender and they can't help that.
I feel most people are against same sex marriages and couples is due to the fact they are uncomfortable around them, but why should they be ? If your uncomfortable around them it leads to the impression you may feel they will come onto you, but is that not just you being up yourself and a strong case of self flattery, thinking every gay male or female is so desperate to go for every person of the same sex they see, just think, do you fancy every person of the opposite sex you see ? No, its the same concept.
People against gay marriages are commonly homophobic, but what is a homophobic ?
Homo-Phobic
Phobic = Phobia = Fear of
Homo = Homosexual = Gay
Homophobic = Fear of gays
In my opinion those that can't accept gay couples are closed minded / arragant, or just playing up to the opinion, based on pressure, society or upbringing, but none of them are valid excuses in my opinion.
Another common arguement for gay marriage is the fact of children, why should gays be allowed to marry, to be a family, if they can't have children, that, after religion, is probably the worst arguement against it i have ever heard in my life, not every couple has children, and gay couples can still bring up kids, but that can be seen as unacceptable because of the "stick" kids would get at school over it, but it can also be seen as perfectly ok because at the end of the day it comes down to opinions of people who think they know whats right, but if a father has kids, then admits to himself he is living a lie and is gay, and has a relationship with another man, does that wipe out all love he has for his child ? does it make it wrong for that child to still be with his father or chose to live with him ? No of course not, i'm sure this has happened in many cases around the world and im sure the child is shown just as much love.
Another arguement commonly used is another "low" one in my view, the way its worded, marriage, and its meaning, i quote the dictionary (low) :
