2. Minor framing correction
Use "marriage equality," not "gay marriage."

3. If you oppose equality for gays, you don't belong on DU
I know people will get pissed, but I don't acre anymore. I am tired of hearing politicians literally sermonize me and my 11-year relationship. TIRED OF IT. Replace gay with black, female, Jewish, etc.... it's no different people. If you can't stand behind this, then join the Republicans. A liberal, progressive mind does not -- and cannot -- agree with anything less than full, equal rights for everyone.

6. I have yet to hear a rational argument against gay marriage
All you hear are religious based objections, and none of them stand up, even within the context of right wing religious beliefs.

In a culture where over half the heterosexual marriages end in divorce, who the fuck would possibly believe that gay marriage could possibly damage the "institution of marriage"?

I have a theory that the real reason the right wing opposes gay marriages is that it would kill the "promiscuous disease spreadin' homo faggot pervert" stereotype they use as a fear tactic.

7. I support gay marriage, gay adoption, and gay parents
I really don't care about whether someone is gay or not, it's really not my business.
