    i have no problem with two people making a legal contract to live together....

    but to call it marriage....to me that is abhorrent......

    marriage is the union between a man and a woman...to have and rear children.........
    Here Rex!!!...Here Rex!!!.....Wuff!!!....... Wuff!!!

      If the Church dosent want gay marriages thats fine with me -- but in this secular country dont force your particular views on the rest of the populace who may just want the State to recognise the union of 2 people of the same gender the same as a man and a woman !!

        My opinion is the catholic church should keep out of people's personal lives. The've done enough damage already, best if they concentrated on taking care of the victims of their clergy and nuns and stop hiding clergy from civil justice.

          If they are happy and not hurting anyone let em at it.
          But bringing kids (Adopted) into the mix is another matter.

          Dont see what the catholic church has to do with it. They decided to not let priests marry and look where that has got them. I think least said by them on the matter the better.

                    "Marriage (also called matrimony or wedlock) is a social union or legal contract between people that creates kinship. The definition of marriage varies according to different cultures, but is usually an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually intimate and sexual, are acknowledged. Such a union is often formalized via a wedding ceremony. Many cultures limit marriage to two persons of the opposite sex, but some allow forms of polygamous marriage, and some recognize same-sex marriage. In some conservative cultures, marriage is recommended or compulsory before pursuing any sexual activity."

                    We have come to accept that marriage is only for procreation but it isn't! It's just a word and an ideal that two people use to show their commitment to each other. Re Moes comment re Adopted kids....I recently attended a naming ceremony for a baby born to 2 gay friends of mine after one of them had had IVF and a happier set of parents would be hard to find. I have no doubt that they will make wonderful balanced parents and the fact they are a same sex couple will not make one jot of difference to their child as the happiness of a child is based largely on the love the parents have for each other.
                    So, as others have said re the church...clean your own house before you try to "clean" the lives of everyone else. Theologians have long since accepted that many of the apostles were very likely to have engaged in homosexual relationships.
