I don't think there's a problem with it; in fact I'm all for it.

If being homosexual makes people happy, then it shouldn't impact others. Two people loving each other does no damaged to other people. Who cares if two guys on your street get married? Personally, I'd congratulate them, but even disagreeing with gay people as a whole you should simply be civil.

But yes, yay to gay marriage.

Yay. Two people of the same sex ought to be able to marry one another. Don't see anything wrong with it.

In principle, I believe anyone should be allowed to do anything so long as it does not harm the rights and freedoms of others. That being said, it is difficult to justify forcing any organization to perform it if it goes against their rules. A democratic state, as an open social organization consisting of the entire demographic spectrum, must respect the decisions of the majority and the rights of the minority, and must, therefore, do nothing to impede or interfere with the rights of same-gender couples to be equal members of society. Marriage, as a democratic right, cannot be limited to any religious organization and must, therefore, be inclusive to all per the demands of a secular society. Closed organizations (such as churches), serving populations opposed to the practice of same-gender marriages, as practiced internally by these organizations, cannot be forced to facilitate a religious service that goes against their beliefs.

I think this issue as well as similar issues, while important, are being systematically exploited by politicians as "easy issues" to garner public attention and conceal their failures in other spheres of public interest. In some ways, its one of the last bastions of pre 20th-century morality, and a milestone from which 20th-century liberalism, as an ideal, becomes a new model of conservative, radical, silly or irrelevant. That being said, it is important to repeal this historical anomaly. The original taboo against same-gender relationships in western society was established by the Romans to piss off the Greeks. Christianity adopted the practice out of Roman tradition and Judaism, which probably bashed the practice because it was seen to represent the conquering Hellenistic culture. It is a further reason to ponder the fallacy of social advancement. There is no upwards advancement for societies; what is being established in past decades as a right was taken for granted thousands of years ago and repealed because of specific circumstances. What was considered wrong then and right now may be reversed at any point in the future due to the social circumstances of that time.
