do you support legal gay marriage (not the half-ass 'civil unions')

my answer is definitely yes.

I'm yet to see a credible argument against it.

Yes (though it should be up to states decide either way, not the federal government)

No.  I'm not overturning thousands and thousands of years of tradition to satisfy a few morons.

Yes, I personally support gay marriages -though the decision on whether gays and lesbians can get married rests mainly with each individual state.

Yes, although I think it would be preferable to have government get out of marriage entirely and leave it up to the churches.

Other.

I believe it's up to the states to decide. I don't really support or oppose it.

Completely in favour. But start off with civil unions first and then work upwards. Oh but let the states decide.

My position is pretty much the same.  I would say no, because the government has no business deciding who can marry.  Keeping gay marriage illegal moves us in this direction.

No; rather, the government should completely end its involvement in marriage, and provide civil unions for everybody. Let marriage be defined by society, not by the government.

I oppose the idea of "civil unions for everybody," but I would support abolishing the formal process by which a state recognizes marriage, and editing our laws to instead simply reflect relationships based on rational criteria, similar to the common law.

Hmm, that actually seems like a much more sensible view.
