I just don't get what the big deal is. Why would anyone care if gays got married? -- nm - CQ Nov 4, 13:49 12
- It makes it harder for straight people to rent banquet halls for their weddings.. -- nm - Ender Nov 4, 13:53 1
  - and hire wedding planners, who will be busy planning *each other's* weddings! -- nm - con_carne Nov 4, 13:55
- A lot of people fear having to explain it to their kids. Or worse, there's a lie spread in ME and CA that the schools would be required to teach it. -- nm - con_carne Nov 4, 13:52
- please, there is no understanding it. I have a sister who refuses to watch Modern Family, because there is a gay couple in it. nm - Jovian Nov 4, 13:52 1
  - really? It'd be funny if she loves some movie or tele series and some of the actors were gay. -- nm - CQ Nov 4, 14:01
- It's beyond me as well. Do they think gay people will just give up and stop being gay and pairing up? -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 13:51 3
  - The thing is, it doesn't affect the opponent's lives whatsoever. They're getting all bent out of shape for nothing -- nm - CQ Nov 4, 13:55 1
    - Tell that to that lady prostrate on her knees on the cover of the Bangor Daily News. (ugh!) -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 14:00
  - It's a "you don't qualify for our club" thing. -- nm - Inigo Nov 4, 13:52
- because if gays can get married, then maybe marriage isnt that - tRuMaN Nov 4, 13:51
- Dogs and cats would start living together. It'll be anarchy. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 4, 13:50
