In Canada, same sex marriage is legal everywhere. This is one of the many reasons I am very proud to be Canadian. Even though same sex marriage is legal here, it is not legal in the majority of the world. United States is suppose to be on of the most civilized and forward moving countries in the entire world. Except only 6 states out of 51 allow gay marriage. Personally, I believe this to be utterly unacceptable. 10% of the population is gay. Say the population was evenly distributed between states. This means that 27,088,813 in the United States alone cannot get married. It should be your choice who you marry, your choice alone, and no one else's. Who gave the government the right to have this much power over our lives? Why should they get to decide this much of our personal life? "Marriage should not be extended to same-sex couples because homosexual relationships have nothing to do with procreation. Allowing gay marriage would only further shift the purpose of marriage from producing and raising children to adult gratification." According to this statement, infertile women should not be able to marry, women who have gone through menopause should not be able to marry. There are many people that see same-sex marriage as a bad thing and there are many arguments that "support" this, but personally they are all so close-mindedly stupid and invalid.

I completely agree with you, it's not up to the gorvernement to decide whether you should be allowed to get married, it should be your own choice. Everyone should have the rights to marry whoever they want. I don't understand how this concerns the government, it isn't putting anyone in dangered. How would those people against same sex marriage feel if it was up to someone else to decide whether they get married or not?
