We should allow gay marriage and equal benefits to them.

If you search Google for 10 reasons that gays should not be allowed to get married this is what you will get. [ () are my comments] 01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning. ( As for me I love air conditioning, and I am pretty sure that almost every American has it, and everyone who needs eyeglasses wears them or contacts) 02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall. (false, really? Being around tall people will not make you tall this is a stupid reason, and "encouraging" is just saying that people wont have to worry about being shunned for their life choice and will be more comfy about coming out.) 03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract. (Not true, America will never allow people to marry dogs this is flawed logic) 04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal (blacks CAN marry whites, women are NOT property and divorce is NOT illegal, actually 50% of marriages end in divorce. 05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed. (People get married for love.) 06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children. (gay babies come from straight parents. Extremely flawed logic plus we have ) 07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children. (Excuse me? Wear are all the gay children coming from) 08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America. (False we as America have many religions, and as our right we have freedom of religion... and freedom FROM religion) 09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children. (Divorced family's have children bounce from house to house all the time) 10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans. (.....) http://www.adoptuskids.org... My only request is that when you use religion please explain why it is bad not just because the bible says so. I fail to see why it matters if someone who is gay wants to get married; their shouldn't be anything stooping them. If you don't like gay marriage, don't get one. How does someone being gay across the country affect you? Fact is it doesn't. If they want to hold hands in the mall or whatever let them its not like we stop the tons of teenagers making out in the mall but why do we flip out if we see the gays holding hands it makes no sense. I firmly believe that gays/les whatever should be able to get married and have equal rights as a man/woman marriage
