Although throughout history the larger problem has been with sodomy not homosexuality. In medieval Europe homosexual love was seen as a great thing as it was purer than heterosexual love as it was free from the degrading and corrupting influence of women. It was only persecuted for fear that it would lead to sodomy which was seen as immoral.

Many states used to have laws that made sodomy looked down upon, but a lot have been repealed

Not necessarily. gay marriage isn't legal because the Church
doesn't believe it's right, and since marriage is a religious ceremony
run by the Church, it's completely up to them.
The government can't force a religion to chance the beliefs it's based upon.

I'm not saying gay people shouldn't be together. They should have
the exact same rights as any other couple. Just because they can't
get married, doesn't mean they can't be together. Buy someone a
ring, have a massive ceremony, make your vows. But just don't
expect the Church to be a part of it.

Marriage is not and has ever been owned solely by religious organisations, though, let alone the current opponents in the debate. 'It's tradition' is a terrible argument for denying people what generally considered a basic right. Consider also that (at least where I am) the majority are for it, and a minority can not be valued more simply because they are religious. There are also plenty of churches who believe their particular god values all, and are happy to perform the ceremonies.

I think the way we are going forward with it in Scotland is a very good middle ground. Churches are not forced to perform ceremonies, but it will be legal.

It was once tradition to burn anyone for witchcraft with no evidence at all. And to beat the **** out of a barrel with a live cat in it. I frikken love old traditions. So meaninglessly violent

Marriage isnt about the ceremony you underage bigot. Its a legal thing, where couples need a marriage license to get married to each other. And the government isnt allowing it because the sheeple of America think that "muh good naem of marriage" will be ruined, when in reality divorce, 72 day marriages, and adultery are overlooked as the REAL problems of marriage, in a biblical view.

the problem here, is that a married couple gets legal benefits, for example, tax reductions, a gay couple, does not. nor does a "civil partnership" couple.

I agree, if a church decides they don't want to marry a couple, fine. but it should be perfectly legal for gays to get married, legally.

The thing is though, if marriage is a "religious" thing.. why would the same rule not apply to athiests... you dont even have to go through the church to get married.. to most people in this age its not a religious thing.

Fro a country that promotes "freedom" i really dont get why they cant..

Church has nothing to do with marriage The poster below me explains why religion has no component in marriage pretty succinctly. I live in Scotland where equal marriage is happening, albeit slower than anticipated. Churches do not legally have to conduct ceremonies but those who want too, can. They can also have a civil or humanist marriage, a right available to heterosexual couples already. I refuse to get married under any religious grounds, but with a humanist wedding I can still have the celebration of my choice in a venue that suits me, instead of in the city chambers as with a civil marriage.

They can get their marriage licenses without getting married under a religious ceremony.

Exactly. If they want gay marriage then they should start their own church or become part of one that allows for gay marriage. Most tax breaks for a traditional marriage were put in place to encourage having kids for the Cold War. Only straight couples can actually have kids.

Why do people hate gay people so much?
While you may feel free to debate this, people are born with a sexuality. They can't change it, just like black people can't help being black.
Telling someone sexuality is a choice is like saying eye color is a choice.
Telling someone they're an asshole because they like takin' it up the tailpipe is like telling someone they're a douche for having red hair.

In the U.S the issue is weather or not it's a constitutional right rather than letting the states decide. And for as long as we've been a country marriage has been decided by the states and for congress to make a marriage decision would give central government power over the states, which would mean to much government.

tl;dr - I'm a faggot who took one political science class so now I think I know everything
