This is another example of mixing religious beliefs with politics. Besides all of that rhetoric, we just need to do what is right and let gays, straights, atheists, Christians, or whatever get married if they want to. Love does not know religion, politics, gender or any other classification.

I am very disappointed in the California state legal system, I was pretty sure that the United States Constitution insured free and equal rights to every citizen of this country, I guess that’s everyone the majority accepts. Once again religious and personal freedoms are only free if you have enough votes.

Since the idea of insurance was revealed anyone could be designated as a "beneficiary".

So, why do they need to enter into a "marriage"?

I'm a straight woman, but I have gay friends and I support gay marriage.
I have to say that that's one of the best article I have ever read! So many things we are thinking and saying but we don't see that many people having those arguments on tv or in newspapers, at least not as clearly.
We have freedom of religion, so why not freedom of marriage? We are a civil state not a christian one. Religion doesn't make laws, it did in the Middle Age, do we really want to go back to that era?!
I'm pretty sure our Founding Fathers will be in favor of gay marriage, nothing in the Constitution says otherwise!

The straights are worried that, with a 52% divorce rate currently, the gays will be better at being married than they are...

there was a time in U.S. history when woman and blacks had no rights.....Our time will come! We just have to wait , I guess!
It seems to me that The" Moral" people are always trying to keep some minority down, because they think they know whats right .
I am so tired of defending myself to people because they would rather fight something they know nothing about , than educate themselves !
I swear we won't recruit your children!
Come on people ,We were born gay! Just like you were born straight!
