Even if orientation were a choice, it should be constitutionally protected in the same way other choices are protected, such as religion and political affiliation. ... However, although it may be a sin within their religion, not everyone is of the same religious background. ... You only need to be an adult and part of an opposite-sex couple. Other pessimistic people feel that legalizing same-sex marriages would weaken the definition and respect for the institution of marriage. ... Many opposite-sex couples choose not to, or are not able to, procreate. ... Many same-sex couples jointly care for their children. ... By not being allowed to marry, same-sex couples are denied the many legal rights that come with marriage. ...
What has been developed under the extreme push for same-sex marriages is something called domestic partnerships. Domestic partners are unmarried couples-same sex or opposite sex-who live together and seek economic and non-economic benefits granted their married counterparts. ... If my partner were of an opposite sex, no matter what our relationship, we could be bound by marriage. ...
The only other option left to same sex couples is adult adoption. ...
Overall, I feel it is prejudicial to restrict same sex couples from marrying.
