So, it's a problem with their marriage? Gays should suffer without equal rights because some straights are insecure? Racists felt the same way about interracial marriage. They got over it...mostly.I see these 3 main arguments
Disrespect of the religious sanctity of marriage. People think that it would devalue their own marriage if gays were also allowed to marry.
Having both a mother figure and father figure is recommended for raising a child, as it gives a more diverse role model set for the child.
And yet millions of heterosexual Americans get married without ever intending to have children. There is not a state or locality anywhere in the United States that will not issue a marriage license to a sterile or childless by choice couple. I will also point out for the cheap seats that in order for some couples to be allowed to civilly marry, they must demonstrate an inability to have children, completely destroying the "it's for the children" argument.In the US there are a number of tax breaks that come with being married. These are in place because it is assumed that the couple will eventually produce a family, and producing offspring is encouraged. A gay couple cannot produce offspring. Gay couples are less likely to end up with a kid.
I don't oppose gay rights.
There, that was easy.
If they want to get pretend married let them, just keep it the hell away from children
My point being, they have the same rights as everybody else.
No extra-special rights, or "let's rename things so we can get in on this action that has nothing to do with who we are or what we do" rights.

What's extra special about having the right to marry the person you want to marry, which is the right of heterosexuals, but not homosexuals?
I see these 3 main arguments:Serious replies only!!
I do not want to offend anyone, so keep your rude comments to yourself. I just want to understand why someone would oppose gay marriage and such, so I figured this was the best way to go about it.
Why are gays hated in America?
- Disrespect of the religious sanctity of marriage. People think that it would devalue their own marriage if gays were also allowed to marry.
- Having both a mother figure and father figure is recommended for raising a child, as it gives a more diverse role model set for the child.
- In the US there are a number of tax breaks that come with being married. These are in place because it is assumed that the couple will eventually produce a family, and producing offspring is encouraged. A gay couple cannot produce offspring. Gay couples are less likely to end up with a kid.

Can your state arbitrarily deny you the right to marry, without cause, while allowing others of equal status in your state to get married?
I'm opposed to special rights for any group. Currently gays have exactly the same rights as anyone else.

Marriage is not a right
The Supreme Court of the United States of America (you're heard of them, yes?) has declared marriage a fundamental right on no less than three occasions and by some reports as many as 14 occasions. Now, you are free to disagree with their rulings, but as it stands right now, marriage is a declared fundamental right. Here are three cases you can research:
Loving v Virgina
Turner v Safley
Zablocki v Wisconsin
So, in order to deny this fundamental right to gays and lesbians, you must be able to demonstrate a societal harm in allowing them. Go!

Good point....Can your state arbitrarily deny you the right to marry, without cause, while allowing others of equal status in your state to get married?
