Hi.

To my knowledge there is NO federal support of gay marriages. In fact there is DOMA, the infamous Defense of Marriage Act, signed by, of all people, Bill Clinton. That Act defines marriage as only the union of a man and a woman for federal purposes. That has major consequences on bi-national gay couples, as the foreign spouse/partner is not allowed immigration rigths that a heterosexual spouse would get. Please do correct me if you think that I am wrong.

Best,
Jan

You are correct Jan that there are no federal support in the US today for same-sex marriages. However, the article is based on a federal approval by 2018, which is in line with the current trend (in US and worldwide) of same-sex marriages.

hi
this way is not nature for living .
we must try to change this matter .
ok

The girls on the photo are pretty. The rest is ugly. Especially to a Christian.

Hi,
I'm from Holland where gay marriages are legal. Believe me, society doesn't change at all because of gay marriages.

Hopefully in the future biases based on religion will decline significantly. It would be a real shame if religion were to continue to dictate other people’s life styles and happiness, people who don’t even have any religious preference. It saddens me to think that humans wouldn’t have matured enough as a society to overcome petty differences. That is a grim future indeed.

great news! maybe gay marriage can surpass straight divorces? doubt it.
T
heir will be a time when they do surpass straight marriage.

While the march towards equality has been seemingly inevitable based on the recent laws/trends in our society, there is still a stigma put on people of different persuasions than the 'Christian hetero' archetype. Gay marriage will do no harm to our society and should be embraced as everyone is a human and deserves the same rights no matter what their personal beliefs are. Having a religion legislate morality for other people is un-american and goes against the very principles this great nation was founded upon. I congratulate all the people who work for equal rights and salute those with the courage to stand up for their convictions.

For the sake of population growth in industrialized nations I hope this will not come true; remember that if people in industrialized nations don't breed, they will be overtaken by much less "tolerant" people from the third world who typically don't approve of gays or any other of "social advances" industrialized nations have made (evolution at its finest).

I personally do not believe in gays or lesbos, and think it should not be allowed. Like Bill Clinton said, marriage is for men and women only. God and Jesus always love us and we can be forgived, but gay is a sin and will still be punished.

go for the s if they want to date the same then i like they should
