Gay Marriage Debate - Alamosa, CO

I have two homosexual brothers who have taught me a very important lesson: You fall in love with a person, not a gender.

I have absolutely nothing against a gay couple who would like to spend their lives together. However, marriage is a union reserved for a man and woman. The reason a man and woman are recognized is because of the potential children birthed from within that union. The law feels no need in recognizing the union between a gay couple, this is because the focus is not, and has not ever been about the two lovers, it has been about keeping track of the populace, keeping track of new youth. A gay couple can not produce new youth from within the union, therefore the couple is of no concern to anyone.

Only the self-sustaining family units are recognized. Since a gay family unit can not produce it's children from within itself, it is not considered to be a self-sustaining unit. It has nothing to do with hate. I really think people need to get over it and stop buying into all that the media tells them.

Marriage is not about the sex you have, it's about the children you produce. Perhaps people should keep their minds out of the gutter.

Marriage is about the family/potential children produced from WITHIN the union. It is not about the type of sex you have. Marriage is about potential future generations, not about joining the marriage club. Gay couples can not birth children without outside support, therefore it is not a complete unit to itself and not classified as marriage. Gays should be happy that the government doesn't get involved in their love-life.
