Gay marriage legal in California and Massachusetts and John McCain dealing with the repercussions. How does John McCain do here? Do you support the legalization of gay marriage in your state?
I just happenend to actually be watching the ellen show this day and I have to say John McCain was actually more awkward here than he was on SNL... but that's beside the point. I'm not a supporter of McCain but him actually addressing this issue on Ellen's show for shows he has guts and can handle sticky situations for him with respect and poise which is nice to see. I however believe is the legalization of gay marriage because it is equal for me I think it should be legal under US law however I don't believe it has to be seen as a marriage in the church because there is a seperation of church and state. Everyone deserves marriage whether or not thier religion upholds the title of marriage is based on that church but under US states law and in government terms it is just fair to be viewed as marriage.
It all comes down to the fact that a man and man cannot naturally have a baby, and a women and a women cannot naturally have a baby. Unless someone proves that wrong, I am going have to say that homosexual marriage is wrong and should be illegal.
I thought it was really funny that she thinks her right to marriage is "only natural." Could someone remind me again what is natural about homosexuality?
Here is the problem. What Ellen is asking for is for the state to go beyond just declaring legal partnerships and declare gay unions as having the sacred status of “marriage”.
Now this is not to say that there can’t be compelling arguments for why gay unions could not be considered sacred and given the term marriage; I am just not sure that government is really able to mandate any union beyond just it’s legality and declare something “sacred” one way or the other. So perhaps government has over stepped its boundaries by ever declaring any legal union, even heterosexual, a marriage.
Perhaps the answer is for government to get out of the marriage game all together and declare both homosexual and heterosexual unions “civil unions” and let marriage be determined in the context of peoples various religious and cultural communities.
This way everyone would have the same legal rights and at the same time allow diverse communities to determine on their own what would constitute sacred and marriage beyond just a legal agreement and partnership; and no one could deny them that.
Just a thought, I would love to hear your opinion.

I have a great idea. Lets ban divorce and watch heterosexuals go nuts.
Lets pass a constitutional amendment that says that seniors can't get married since they are unable to naturally procreate.

I think Ellen made a compelling argument.
