		<description>Halushki and Neil are cracking me up. 

I know where all the pro-prop 8 people are, they make up 98% of my friends and relatives. &quot;Hi, I&#039;m Jess and I&#039;m ashamed to call myself a Christian.&quot;

I have to say, being nasty back to them is the worst thing you can do, it justifies their suspicions that everyone is out to get them.</description>

		<description>Word.  As far as government is concerned, marriage is just a contract between two people that serves as protection of assets and rights.</description>

		<description>Slightly off topic, but on topic in the sense of the government getting involved in marriages.

In NC, a man cannot have his name put on the birth certificate of his child if he is not married to the mother of the child.

This, of course, is NC&#039;s way of &quot;promoting&quot; marriage. Others might note that it leaves a helluva lot of children without a legal father or documented identity.

Nice.</description>

		<description>I really loved Olbermann&#039;s take on the gay marriage issue. I thought he was quite eloquent. I may not always love him, but I loved what he said in that speech/plea.</description>

		<description>As a lesbian american who had recently made the dicision to get married i feel that it should the choice of those parties directly involved in the decision and not of the politicians who are trying to play god. It is not a decision that they will have to live with, therefore, it should not be up to them to say who can and can not spend there lives together legally. Even though my mate and I had cancelled our plans of marriage shortly after they were made. It is important to me that  i have the choice for when i am ready. They Are Not God And Need To Stop Acting Like They Are. If we are able to have different faiths, then why are we not able to decide who we love for our selves.</description>

		<description>Personally, I don&#039;t think gay people should be able to marry by the state.  I also don&#039;t think that straight people should be able to marry by the state.  I think the state should endorse all couples in &quot;civil unions&quot; with equal rights and benefits, irregardless of genders, and leave the term &quot;marriage&quot; for the religious fruits and nuts.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m with you all the way!  Everyone in this country should have a fundamental right to mess up their lives with a bad marriage, gay or straight!</description>
