I believe that all children need a stable environment. I also think that it is a shame people do not take their vows seriously, that makes a mockery of marriage. I don't think that same sex marriage is mocking marriage, I don't see it as marriage considering the gender issue. I also don't see any equal rights violations since a same sex union can allow for such rights. To say it is separate but equal is also misconception. Separate but equal in the past is understandably wrong. To say a black man cannot marry any woman but could have a civil union would be separate but equal. The reason for this would be, any man any woman fall into the specifications for marriage no matter what race or religion, so that would be discrimination. The problem with this situation is the misconception of the details of a marriage. Everybody has equal rights, but to say equal rights are being denied is false, men and woman have the same individual rights no matter who they are, religion, race, or personal preferences. Marriage is a union between one man and one woman, the two men criteria would fall under the same sex union. Example , a man and a woman cant have a same sex union because they don't fit that criteria. I believe that any union no matter what type, that dedicates two people together especially for the protection of their children is extremely important. Since the relationships are themselves of a different nature, why would it not fall into a union of a different nature that recognizes that union with equal respect.

 Really, this can be worded and reworded to try to obtain a certain result. I can also argue for multiple partner relationships and say this is about couples rights for a three or more party relationships. I can play devils advocate all day. What is the reason for a same sex marriage? To legally claim love for somebody? Claim a sexual relationship? Does love need to be a legal agreement? If so what does that say about the trust you have for the word of your partner? If there is a natural purpose for sex, what is that purpose? What is the outcome? What is the purpose of our sexual organs? Is it not to create life? What is the most important thing to that life? Maybe the two people that made it? That life has no control over what the two people do. That is the only reason to legally bind two people together is for the sake of a life created by those two, because that child is helpless without them. Law does not need to tie two people together for a commitment they can be personally responsible for. A child needs its parents does it not? Any other reason, such as tax incentives, health care, visitation rights, ownership rights, all of these perks of marriage, and others I left out, can be arranged legally without marriage. Some of these can be arranged through the provider of that service. If marriage a way for a couple to get incentives like this then what would stop any two people to get married for the sake of getting incentives? You can say that the government needs to stay out of peoples lives, and their choices and decisions. Making same sex marriage legal does more than that. It gives the government more control of how private companies run their business. Insurance companies must provide for married people, health care must provide for married people, hospitals must allow visitation rights for married people. Leave that up to the companies and individuals to decide. Any couple can make arrangements for these things, they pay for the service. Government does not need to protect or care for a relationship.

I have been reading several forums and I am seeing a lot of anti Christians using Christianity as an excuse for the problems in America. Most of these people are throwing around words like hatred, bigot, racist, and homophobic. These same people seem to be more angry and hateful than anyone.
