10 Reasons why same-sex couples should be allowed to marry



as money from the first stimulus package is spent governments continue to fail (see California). Gays' weddings alone could provide a second stimulus

we could use more originality in the Bible readings. I’ve sat through many a ceremony and frankly I feel the “that’s why the young man leaves his mother and father and clings to his wife…” thing is overdone.

the wedding receptions will be way better. No longer will the wedding coordinators, caterers and wait staff have to stand to the side or hide in the shadows

Rachel Maddow and a newly confirmed judge Sonia Sotomayor could simply have a "cocktail moment" and discuss other things like oh say, the illegal use of torture?

Because, some hearty lesbian out there is being denied the chance to enter and win the wife carrying competition!

When assets to be dispersed include antler furniture, who else is better equipped to respect and dismantle it than a woman’s wife?

Because nobody owns love.

Without giving acknowledgment to same-sex marriage in a way you are saying well over 10 million U.S. citizens do not exist. You mess with a fragile and delicate part of the psyche where God exists and people feel pain.

Allowing gays to marry includes when the “for worse” comes. WE will take care of our partners until there’s nothing left to do but hold their hand and pray. We will be there when they die and we will still be gay.
