On most issues I lean to the right. However this is one of those issues I feel really strongly about. Honestly besides the fact that people are homophobes, why shouldnt "steve" and "bill" be able to get married if they want to??

It doesnt hurt me, it doesnt hurt you, it doesnt hurt your dog, it doesnt hurt your kids, it doesnt hurt anyone. They can live together already so having them be married is nothing more then just two people who are in love getting the opportunity to be together and express their love towards each other.

People dont want it because they are bringing religion into the mix. Ok now the problem with that is that religion needs to be kept out of policy. I am a christian and im proud of it, however religion and policy need to stay completely seperate.

So besides Religion, and besides homophobia what reasons do the rest of us who are allowed to get married just because we are straight have for not wanting to allow gay & lesbian couples to get married??
