I do not want to prevent gay people from being legally married but At the same time, i respect the church's right to refuse wedding them. In any situation, i value freedom. I do not agree with being gay, i think being gay is a choice... ect ect ect but i still respect their freedom and rights.

If you take away religion, you're taking away the majority of peoples reason for living and doing good. If those same people where to realize it isn't tru they would have no other (nice) way of saying gay marriage is just plain out gross. I've also noticed more people are apposed to gay men the women. Why is that? I also don't believe being gay is a choice. Some, sure. I'm not talking about that one girl who fucked the neighborhood and got mad at men for taking a free ride on her magical poney and now she wants nothing to do with men. So she becomes a carpet muncher and declares herself gay, thos are the : fake: gays. I'm talking about the flammer, who talks, acts, and dresses like a girl/boy and are 100% gay. They didn't have a choice to whome they would be attracted to. So if they want to marry another gay person why not? We have no shot with a gay girl (long term marriage) so why not allow them to be happy. These matters are not even important and yet america waste time arguing and wasting money for nothing. If they love being gay then thats what they will be no one can force them to like the opposite sex without break their rights as an american.
Marriage is not a right; therefore, gay marriage cannot be a right either. There is no legal statement saying that marriage is a right in the Constitution or the Amendments.

People who are gay do have a choice - the same choice that straight people have. Straight people do not have to sleep with another, neither do gay people. They are not forced to do anything; they choose their behavior - the same a s straight people.

Gay and straight people have the same rights. There is no difference, except that some states have chosen to not allow a specific behavior to receive a marriage license. That specific behavior does not have "rights", as it is not a condition, such as a disability. To treat people as though they were disabled or handicapped just because they choose to be gay, is wrong.
