ParticipantI really hope this ban sticks, and I hope California paves the way for gay marriage/civil unions to be legal in other states. Love is love, no matter where you find it. If two people want to make a public commitment to one another and ensure rights of property inheritance, etc., I really hope they get their chance. Society is a constantly evolving thing, and this is an evolution that is past due.

Participantmarion- “I don’t think it sends the right message to today’s youth.”
What kind of message does divorce send to children? I think asianautica hit it on the head – ban divorce if this is about family values and the “sanctity” of marriage.

ParticipantWhile I am pretty sure I will never become an activist for gay marriage, I support it. As long as “marriage”, be it a religious experience or a legal one according to individual attitudes, is also a government institution with regulations affecting individuals of legal voting age it should not discriminate between who those adults are. Churches should be able to influence what happens on their own campuses but not in the halls of government.
Obviously there are significant social and emotional responses, if you don’t or don’t want to have children, whether gay or straight, to being “married” and therefore it should not be exclusive.
I do have some concerns specific to same sex partners in parenting but in general I think it has a much potential as other situations.I don’t have much experience with homosexuals raising children to draw on. I am not an expert in this field. In any cae I don’t think it is appropriate to make marriage exclusive based on opinions with regards to who should raise children since my wife and I were allowed to get married whether we wanted them or not.
