Gay Marriage Poll

[Marokai Backbeat]

Of course I support it, I'm gay and there is no secular reason not to support it, but like Tweed I'm sad about the amount of activist energy and attention it has drawn away.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Support, but it is a state by state issue.

[tmthforu94]

I support same-sex marriage.

[LastVoter]

Other: The state shouldn't decide who should be allowed to get married anymore than the state should decide who gets to take communion.

So no then as in your world there's no such thing as civil marriage

That sounds pretty good. But I support gay marriage/marriage since we could never get the proper welfare state to have an alternative to lack of civil marriage.

Suppprt civil unions.  Give them the rights, but don't redefine marriage.

or better yet just give everyone civil unions and 'let churches decide.' honestly i don't get why more social conservatives aren't taking that stance yet. it seems like a political no brainer as it would obviously 1) spare you further embarrassment, 2) neutralize an avoidable issue and 3) even get more 'libertarian' people on their side. particularly since the divorce industry, sexual revolution, etc. have obviously made marriage increasingly irrelevant anyway. which is not to say that things like the rising illegitimacy rate and all of that aren't extremely negative trends...

A downside is that some boy toy might demand that you marry him, in order to have sex with him. That would not be good!

[politicallefty]

I absolutely support it and would prefer to see all gay marriage bans struck down in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Support, but as part of a package that also makes Polygamy legal as well.

You have boy toys?

That's only consequential. The term "marriage equality" obviously involves much more than the mere right for heterosexual and homosexual inidivuals to marry one person; "marriage equality" means that consenting adults should be able to marry whoever they wish as long as their partners are consenting adults, too.

I'm ambivalent about gay marriage as it at least resembles normal marriage, but, since the topic has been raised, under no circumstances would I support polyamorous marriage.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Support, but let people decide, whether it be at the state or federal level.

What's a "normal marriage"?

What's a "normal marriage"?

The most commonly accepted and performed type of marriage in human history? I tend to view "normal" as synonymous with the mode of a dataset, especially when such a category greatly outnumbers other possibilities.
