Whether or not it should be legal and whether or not I agree with it are two entirely different things.
I don't agree with gay marriage.
I do think it should be legal, based on our constitution and my (albeit somewhat limited) knowledge of civil liberty and the pattern of granted rights in our history.
THE US constitution is against discrimination....and telling two people they legally can't marry is discrimination. I can sit around until the cows come home thinking about how I believe they
shouldn't, but I have no right to tell them they can't.
I totally agre, and this is teh stance I have arried awhile now.

But this country was founded under Christianity.
False.
This Country was founded under Freedom of Religion, and that includes Freedom
From Religion, as well. Thus is teh Reason we have seperation of Church and State, and Civil Liberties. Have you not noticed that there are Wiccans and Satanists running around? If this was a Theocracy, then teh Wiccans, the Satanists, and yes, even teh Homosexuals, would al be put to death.
But by the Grace of God, teh Religious Zealots haven't taken power to start a second Inquisition.

All things can't be desegregated unless you want to see me in the girl's locker room
blaugh .
People have the right to Privacy. You can be perfectly happy without giving into your perversions, and as such, need not enter teh girls locker room.

You "do" have the right to tell them whether they can or cannot, freedom of speach, duh lol
whee .
Freedom of Expression, you mean? The primary point of that was defending your own rights, to speak out against the Government without being locked up. But the moment you take that "Right" and use it to oppress your fellow Man, or to Harass him, it is not a right, it is anything from a fine, to charges pressed.

We can't listen to the constitution about everything.
though as long as it is defending My Rights, or teh Rights of my fellow Man, I'm all for it. And by that same measure, You can't listen to teh Bible about Everything. Same logic.

We should not let them sin, even if it's going against the constitution.
We have no right to tell them otherwise. There is no law in the US that is to bring Christianity above others. And if there were, I, as a Christian, would be teh first to attack it. As I would be a hypocrite to want freedom to practice my religion without being forced to follow Hindu Practices, and yet refuse to protect the rights of teh Hindu.

Sinning is a lot worse then segregating. If gay people should be allowed to get married, then shouldn't two or three year olds?
two or three year-olds cannot enter into a legally binding contract. Homosexuals can.
not yet, they aren't. Until they can prove capable of running their own healthy, productive lives, they are not capable of assisting someone elses.

This is a grand scale thing. Think about the our lives when we die.
We don't have them anymore. 'Cause we're kinda
Dead. As such, our own lives cease to be.
