As having many gay friends myself, I do not understand in any way how someone would want to prevent them from marrying someone they love. Marriage today could be considered a "joke" between heterosexuals--it's not like two men marrying each other would desecrate the ideas of marriage in the first place.

You see so many heterosexual couples marrying and getting a divorce, remarrying and getting a divorce, etc. With a rate of over 50% of marriages leading to divorce, I would state that a large majority of heterosexuals do not take this union seriously. If two people who love each other want to marry, so be it. Who is the government to deny them this right?

It's honestly none of the government's business. They put no legislation on heterosexuals getting married and divorced, why do people care what homosexuals do then? Two people who want to be together either man/woman, woman/woman, man/man should not have the option of marriage denied to them- period.
