This topic still seems to have controversy looming over it., so Imma write about it! I will ask you not to flame though. If you disagree then please state your opinion NICELY in the comments.
In my complete honest opinion I don't care whether or not homosexuals get married. I'm no homophobic bastard. I am religious though. So, let them do as they please we are ALL equal as human beings. If they want to get married they can. Although God can and will pass judgment on them when they die. They probably won't like it either. As long as the government doesn't force the church to marry homosexuals I have no problem and nothing against it.
The thing is, when the homosexuals press this, they claim it's for love. If it was really for love, they wouldn't demand to be recognized by some strangers. Although they do this for the benefits that straight couples have, I understand that they want a say in things medically, or after death. The problem I have is that the majority lied and said its out of love, not benefits.
Having all this said, I am not against gay marriage but I am not for it either. I am against the lie that the majority claim. So if you disagree please leave a comment below explaining NICELY why you disagree.
Thanks, and may the odds be ever in your favor :)

Edit: Note; in this blog post I was not trying to offend anyone in anyway or express homophobia.
Quite a generalisation in your post, i am not entirely sure that every gay man that wants to "marry" is purely so that they can gain the legal benefits of marriage. I think it is so that they can be treated and seen as equals.
I don't really care as at one time it was illegal for black people to marry both within themselves, and interracially and that within 100 years time, gay marriage will be the same as any marriage is now, the norm.
knixuk Oh well, we just have to remember, everyone has their own point of view on every subject:) TheThomas please explain how telling me I am wrong solves anything. Elaborate, what portions do you disagree with and why?
raverkid i agree but you are presenting a point as a fact when i don't think it is the case. I might have a look on the internet to see if i can find a survey or something to see why homosexual people want to marry.

I'm so sorry I think we have a misunderstanding, when I posted this it was purely based off the people I know and it was ALL opinion I didn't mean to state anything as a fact I'm truely sorry for that :(
It is ok i am not offended, i am not angry with the world or anything.
Interestingly your (i assume gay?) friends say that they only want marriage for the legal protection it offers? I don't doubt for many that is part of it however i think it is the being seen as equals that is most important. Marriage won't change or really add anything to love, but being seen as an equal will.

Well yes, Homosexual friends, for most it is a large part. For them, they couldn't give less of a fuck about their social status (equality).
I would like to thank you as well for pointing it out that it sounded like I was stating a fact and giving me feedback respectfully. Not many people do that now and I'm glad you're one of them
raverkid it is a real shame that your friends aren't interested in equality. I think if they were treated in an unequal way they may feel differently.
For example not getting a job because of their sexuality (which in the UK wasn't technically illegal until recently, (2010 in the uk with the Equalities Act))
Being turned away from a hotel because they want to share a bed (still cases of this happening in the UK, although they are usually very much frowned upon by the UK press)
Not being able to walk down the street holding hands.
While many legal rights are now protected homosexual people are still seen by many as second class citizens. Equality is still a major issue and it is a shame to think that younger homosexual people no longer see this. Perhaps they are naive
I don't know if its because I'm in the US or because I'm only 15 that I've never heard of anything like that happening but, probably, yes, naive but isn't everyone? Nothing to be ashamed of, everyone has their faults.
