I think governments must let them get married. I so tired of their protests in the streets and videos like "Let us marry, we also want to be happy" . Surely their orientation isn't normal for us. But I think that we do not have to discriminate anyone. We all have "bugs in our minds" Side: Yes

Yes they should be given the choice since it's a human right and not a heterosexual privilege . Every religion promotes marriage, it's only logical gay people be allowed to since gay people are present all over the world. If the pope wants to thump a bible, then too bad. The number of gay people speaks for itself. Side: Yes

why can you say someone cannot marry the person they love? if you were denied the right to love someone and marry them you would be pissed so why should you not let them marry who they want to just because of their choice in partner. if you are to say it is because the bible says so. its a load of bullshit because it also says if your child misbehaves you should take them to the edge of the city to get stoned to death so you cannot pick and choose what you believe the bible to say. if you eat pork your disobeying the bible if you don't take your child to be stoned to death if they misbehave then you are disobeying the bible. so you cannot use the bible as an argument Side: Yes

Looking from the perspective of an etymologist, I'll have to take the "no" side. They can form a union, but "marriage" is not the accurate word for that. Marriage comes from the Latin words (rather, word-forms, for they both are derived from the same lammata) marita/meritus meaning wife/husband. Matrimonium essentially is that state from whence comes motherhood - an homosexual union precludes parenthood. So, whilst I support the marriage-like union of the homosexual, I cannot support the actual marriage, for such is inconsistent with the etymology of marriage. Side: No
