Many people hold time "honored" traditions and are threatened that the sanctity of marriage will be destroyed. In the end, these people for the most part will accept the union of gay people - if it is called a civil union.Hale McKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02548008024457474809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30595105.post-1155683417567534512006-08-15T16:10:00.000-07:002006-08-15T16:10:00.000-07:00yeah, I agree with you both. it is way too much t...yeah, I agree with you both. it is way too much to cover every side of every argument in a blog post. I don't see why anyone (of legal age) shouldn't be able to marry whomever else (of legal age) that they want to. if two people make a commitment, it should be honored no matter who they are. many people say "marriage is just the piece of paper" - true, but there are certain legal rights that come with it and I don't see why gays are excluded from these rights.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073646442944475928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30595105.post-1155677305452006592006-08-15T14:28:00.000-07:002006-08-15T14:28:00.000-07:00Don't see why gays can't marry.

But my views tend toward libertarian in many such areas. Meaning, the actions of consenting adults should not be the concern of the state so long as there are no "victims," (persons harmed by those actions). And if someone is harmed, he or she should expect recompense.<BR/><BR/>I deplore the erosion of our freedoms on the grounds that someone "might" get hurt if we fail to exercise those freedoms responsibly. I'd rather see fairly-applied stiff penalties assessed when someone DOES get harmed. Those would serve as a deterrent and a means of recompense.<BR/><BR/>Simplistic? Yeah, probably.<BR/><BR/>DadDuke_of_Earlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08358279187766938462noreply@blogger.com
