Allowing Homosexual Marriage

What's wrong with it? Why should we stop people that are in love from showing their love for each other. Pledging to love each other that they will love each other until their dying day. What is so wrong with that. Most god fearing people think that it is wrong, that it is a sin to love some one of the same gender as you. But doesn't the bible say to love everyone, and never judge. But that is what a lot of people are doing. Funny thing is that before the bible was written, older wealthy men would have young boys as lovers, and it was a show of wealth. But then Christian came along and said this is wrong and that is wrong, which being homosexual was one of them. But finding love in this world is so hard, when you find some one that makes you happy, people should be happy for you.
Another reason why people don't want homosexuals to get married is because they don't want them to have the same benefits of heterosexual couples. "Gay marriage would mean forcing businesses to provide benefits to same-sex couples on the same basis as opposite-sex couples. While this may or may not be true (based primarily on state labor laws), the reality is that many businesses already do offer these benefits to gay couples, and for sound business reasons. And experience has shown that when they do, the effect on their costs for offering these benefits is minimal - very rarely does the cost of benefits offered to gay couples cause the business' benefits costs to rise by more than 1.5%. This trivial cost is usually far more than offset by the fact that the company is seen as being progressive for having offered these benefits - making its stock much more attractive to socially progressive mutual funds and rights-conscious pension funds and individual investors, and thus increasing upwards pressure on its price. This is why so many corporations, including most of the Fortune 500, already offer these benefits without being required to do so - it's just good business sense." from http://www.bidstrup.com/marriage.htm
And another thing about marriage, I found that 50% heterosexual marriages end in divorce. I have noticed that homosexual couple are more committed to each other. But there are people out there that say that homosexuals sleep around with everyone. But that is the younger generation of homosexuals, trying to find themselves, when they get older they try and find a partner but they cant find one is because they are all taken. I happened to know an older homosexual couple and they have been together for about 10 years. They are as happy as can be. So I feel that homosexual marriage should be allowed. We should love everyone, it would make the world a whole lot better.
