your wrong what you think about this type of marriage is sick and unnatural is a abmination the bible says so thats what happened in sodom and gomorrah they slept with each other and god destryoed the city
i think two people of the same sex should never be married ever not even live together at all.
marriage is not for all americans just a man and woman cause thats sacred your making marriage sound like its a gross and horrid thing
its something special its where a man meets woman and they fall in love
and make each other happy your diffenicion of marriage is perverted.
gay marriages should be outlawed and disgraced.

MARRIAGE IS FOR ALL AMERICANS.
The American Psychiatric Association has confirmed that sexual orientation is natural, biologically induced in the fetus, morally neutral, immutable, neither contagious nor learned and has no relation to an individual’s ability to form deep and lasting relationships, to parent children, to work or to contribute to society.

The American Psychological Association states that homosexuality and homosexual relationships are normal.

The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association have all endorsed civil marriage for same-sex couples because marriage strengthens the mental and physical health and the longevity of couples, and provides greater legal and financial security for children, parents and seniors.

When America’s premier child and mental health associations and their expert panels endorse marriage equality, there is no moral or ethical reason to discriminate against gay people and their children, except ignorance or bigotry.

I am a Boston based GLBT rights activist, and I thought this article’s point was well communicated even if some do not find the humor in this tragedy. People are individuals, yet our due process has been abandoned out of fear. The fear is so strong that we have also abandoned the need to prove what is accused against GLBT and same sex marriage, even when states like Massachusetts have successfully incorporated full equality for more than half a decade.

Funny is up for opinion, but the message and effort to draw attention to the injustice is appreciated.

It’s time for fairness and equality.

And it’s time for the marriage police, sexually phobic, and flat earthers to find another issue to focus on in the 21st century, because life’s just to short…..

Not even a little bit funny. Not even a little bit clever. Not even a little bit intelligent. Not. Even.

You understood it so clearly there’s no intelligence or cleverness behind it.

And I agree that it’s not really that funny.

It certainly is a less funny than the joke that is the cloak of equality this country purports to wear.

I don’t hear any LGBT citizens laughing, certainly, when the ability to take care of their families is being significantly compromised by un-American ideas that not all citizens deserve to be treated equally.

Research indicates that plenty of straight folks like things up their butts too, and given the percentages, chances are extremely good that MORE straight people do anal sex than gay ones do.

After all, it only takes about 5% of straight people doing anything to outnumber us, even if we all do whatever it is.

Economic issues matter and marriage is an economic issue. Studies show that married people are slightly healthier (less costs) and wealthier (pay more taxes) than their single counterparts and this is true for gay people as well. Therefore, it is in the state’s best economic interest to grant marriage equality. This is because there are thousands of rights and responsibilities that come with the legal contract of marriage (yes, marriage is a legal contract). Gay people deserve these rights and responsibilities.
