Same sex marriage is fine. Marriage is a legal bond between two people. I personally don't see the issue of allowing people to marry. The only thing I can think about that might effect my country is taxes. I heard from someone a while back that married people in general are considered "one" financially and get breaks. With gay marriage legalized, those tax breaks would be huge, deminishing a large number of dollars coming in from taking single people. I don't care about the perks of marriage, nor do I hold a negative outlook.

Now morally, I am against the concept. However, living in one of many free societies on this planet, I can't think of one reason why I'd be "against" it. Marriage should be available to all people, same sex or not. It's discriminating to try and stop people. I can't stand some of these politicians who don't get the idea of a separation of church and state.

For the good of the state these politicians should realize that in a free society, anyone can choose athiesm and should have the right to. Do I like it? No. Am I going to ban atheism from law? No. Same sex marriage is on the same level. It's not a religious topic, yet all these people make it one. Marriage should be offered to all people, not just people of "religiously correct" orientations. It's a legal bond that people use to express their love for each other. Who are you or I to tell anyone who to love?

The issue of having two same sex parents is also ridiculous. It's a matter of "different" that mainstream people have a problem with. Yes, children coming from these households have a strong possibility of being bullied. It's something young people (and people who raise people) just can understand or cope with. It's the same type of issue with old school nerds and misfits in general. Now days they are being assimilated into the norm. I believe people with same sex parents will also be assimilated, but as messed up as it is, society will still be cruel.

So, I believe same sex households are fine too. It's society that has the problem. Kids will pick on kids and treat them like crap just for being different in any way. Sadly, that's grade school. Do I agree with it? No, not at all.
