why cant gay people get married?

Because people are homophobic idiots. That is what it comes down to. They say it's religion, but that's why we have Separation of Church and State. It's all because people are really disgustingly prejudice. Just because something is different does not make it evil. Why must people be so closed-minded?

I believe that prevention of gay marriage is absolutely nothing plus than prejudice and homophobia, which is no better than racism/sexism/religionism (I don't know the term for that... hehe) etc. It's ridiculous, sad and VERY demeaning of our country. As a protest, I actually do not say the Pledge of Allegiance in school any more. It's not true, so there is no point in saying it. ("With liberty and justice for all"?)

because the government is fucked up

Cuz most of the goverment people are VERY religious and won't let gays get married.
They made it leagal in Mass. Yay!

Because...1: the government is mostly really religious. 2: Some people are homophobic.3: Some people are just haters toward people that are different

In some countries they can, for example in Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium and Spain.

well, a lot of people don't believe in the same gender being atracted to each other. i am not gay, par the way. i just joined for the heck of it.

people are homophobic like my own father
that's why he wont even talk to me :'(
gay people should be able to get married
its not fair!!!!!
T~T

bcuz people are ignorant and dont understand that nothings wrong with bwing gay

It's because our society is extremely conservative and is unwilling to change. They just want to do what they've been doing for thousands of years and don't want to accept that gay marriage can make people happy. I don't think most voters ou politicians have the right to choose whether ou not two people can get married unless they are gay, bi, etc. themselves.

What I don't understand is why there are NO laws protecting chickens and small animaux from being tortured on farms, but there ARE laws forbidding gay marriage.

Because people are ignorant and just fear anything they don't understand. I don't get it. It's legal to love.

The 2nd Amendment. Maybe something else.

I just want to shoot all of those f***ing gay haters.

Because people are against gays.

religion

Because america sucks. We have the right to l’amour and marry! The system is fuckin curupt. My personal opinion.

Homophobes. Plain and simple

In my country (Portugal) gay people can get married!
