Gay Rights
Recently i have began to question the motive behind banding gay marriages. I wanted a reason, an answer and an explanation as to why my aunt can not marry. The truth is there is no LEGAL reason why they cannot marry. Here's my thing... think about this, if you ask a person why gays can't marry they say because its not right and if you keep pushing the issue of why its not right it all goes back to religion."because the bible says its wrong" a friend of mine once said to me. In law and politics you are told to separate church from state, yet gays are immoral because the bible says that... in America we have freedom of religion. If we are going to base homosexual relationships on religion we must take ALL religions into consideration since our 1st amendment says freedom of religion. Buddha was not for or against gay marriages so the Buddhist religion should be in affect here.I think by refusing gays their right to marry is unconstitutional and goes against the 1st amendment because not all Americans are christian and that's what we are basing it off of.

excuse me, I am one of those bible kissing nut jobs and its immature to use name calling in debate (just saying)
Also, they can live with eachother, do whatver they please to do, get a civil union, they just can't call it marriage. Marriage is and has always been one man and one woman.
And, my point in this whole argument, which you have yet to prove wrong, is that everyone has equal rights. Homosexuals are not asking for equal rights, they are asking for more rights. Prove me wrong on that and then we can go to the next argument. Okay?
