Clark Lachowski: Yes, they should be the same. Marriage in the United States is a LEGAL entity. Marriage has nothing to do with God or the Bible, unless you are a religious person. Religion does not govern law in this country, and as marriage is a legal thing, there is no logical or intelligent argument that can be used against same-sex marriage. Christians, PLEASE understand, your religion does not make the laws of this country, and not everyone is a Christian! In fact, there are 5 BILLION non-Christians in the world. There are no cons to allowing same-sex marriage....Show more
Jackelyn Archut: No; that would mean Judgement Day is nearer than you think.
Elbert Donatelli: Traditional marriage as defined by the bible is a man and a woman, concubines, multiple wives, his dead brothers wife if they had no kids and slaves. Traditional marriage, women are nothing but property and should be stoned for being non-virgins.No, nothing should be treated like traditional ! marriage, that is illegal, hateful, violent and archaic.Two consenting adults should be legally allowed to marry and their civil rights should be the same regardless of the genders. Marriage is a civilian court matter. Churches perform weddings, not marriages....Show more
Rayford Speziale: Of course... what religious people fail to realize is that not everyone is religious. religion is a choice and some dont care what the bible says. i believe in a God who loves all for who they are and the good deeds they do and the care, love and compasion one gives that they are judged upon. in my religion, all of the self ritious god playing fools who speak for their lord rather than accept and love all (which lets not forget that the bible tells us to do) go to hell. dont play god, dont shove your opinions at someone. let people live their lives and be happy. just because they dont do it your way does not give anyone the entitlement to bannish ones love. i dont care if you are bl! ack white asian two femals two males two tansgenders two ANYTH! ING... love is love and that is what god had created as a foundation to man kind....Show more
James Langmyer: Some people seem to forget (or just don't know) that the very first "traditional marriage" was NOTHING like what they describe... It was between Adam and Eve, ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN. She was NOT his property, but was his COMPANION/EQUAL!
Rebeca Mckin: The cons are that you must face tons of judgmental people. The pros are that you get to love and be loved by the one you are meant to be with. Yes, they should be treated the same as traditional marriages,
Barton Slisz: Yep same-sex marriage should be legalized in this country and treated like opposite sex marriages, because they would be exactly the same. I see no difference between a man and woman who want to commit themselves to each other for life, than two women or two men. Like someone else said, marriage is strictly civil matter, and religion and government do not, and should not mix. These peo! ple who oppose gay marriage only seem to want big government when it comes to this and abortion. Certain Christians in this country seem to believe they own the word marriage, when the absolute truth is that marriage was around LONG before the Bible, marriage has two definitions, one of which mentions nothing about a man and a woman. There isn't one con to same-sex marriage. You can't oppose rights for someone else based on their sexual orientation, you just can't....Show more
Samara Siewers: IMO absolutely NOT! They are not "traditional" marriage and in the eyes of God they are not married. Only one definition of marriage is acceptable in God's eyes - the one he created - ONE man, ONE woman.If the same sex couple wants similar/same benefits that is fine with me; but do NOT call the union a "marriage"....Show more
Patrica Loertscher: Treated the same? Yes.It's because legalizing same sex marriage will have in reality absolutely no affect on traditional marria! ge at all. Meaning same sex marriage won't cause any problems at all i! f a man and a woman wish to marry.Plus we don't need to redefine the definition of marriage because we still use the term same-sex marriage to define same-sex marriage. And this is still as legitimate as common-law marriage which is also non-traditional.Plus by making same-sex marriage legal, it means there is no legal consequence of making an official union between 2 people of the same sex. It does NOT mean it's illegal to not perform the ceremony between same-sex unions. Meaning the only "cons" is that it threatens the people who enforce their prejudice and hate. The pros is that same-sex marriage is absolutely no threat to traditional marriage AT ALL!!...Show more
