I suppose my thoughts on this are going to be rather predictable. I think Dolly Parton said it best, "I'm for Gay marriage, why shouldn't they suffer like the rest of us?"

Conservatives like to go on about how promiscuous homosexuals are, but when they want to establish a life long monogamous relationship we need to ammend the Constitution to prevent that.

To me this is a no brainer. I've had a lot of gay friends including gay roommates in my life, and the idea that they should accept that they are second class citizens sickens me. Obviously their relationships have never threatened my ability to function in mine, and I find it patently absurd that somehow heterosexual families are supposed to have trouble functioning because gay people want to have the same rights under the law.

Conservatives also like to go on about how gay people want "special rights." What is ironic, is when you deny them equal rights you create that category. I work for the State of Washington where health and retirement benefits are offered to same sex domestic partners as if they were spouses. Why? Because they can't marry legally. So domestic partners of differing sexes end up losing out. It's just so stupid.

Then there's the argument that children need a mother and a father. Ideally perhaps, though I think two loving parents will always be preferably to less than that. I don't think there will be a Constitutional ammendment to make divorce illegal (though don't think that there aren't those on the far Right who'd like that too!)

I just wish people could let other people make their own choices that do them no harm, and stop trying to legislate everyone else's lifestyle.

For those who would take the Bible literally and change the Constitution to match, here are some other important Biblical Marriage Laws to add to the Bill of Rights.
