What are the specific reasons why gay people want to get married?

[Syriusly]

For legal reasons is right~ When there is money involved people can be very nasty and being the spouse doesn't have any rights the next of kin can come in a take it all away.

they could have that with a civil union but that would not offend christains, so its not good enough

What civil unions would that be?

Christians made a point of changing the laws so their states would not recognize gay civil unions or gay marriage.

Refer to Georgia's ban on gay marriage and gay civil unions.

LGBTs deserve the same right to the good, the bad, and the ugly of traditional marriage. EQUALITY.

Deserve is a strong word. Deserve how? Based on...?

"What are the specific reasons why gay people want to get married?"

There's only one... and that is that they 'feel' that marriage will give them legitimacy.

What they don't want to accept is that legitimacy is intrinsic to marriage because of the standard they seek to strip from it.

Why we're on the topic, why do gay people want to have jobs? Why do they want to watch TV? Why do they want to travel and make friends? Why would gay people want to do the same things that any other person wants to do? It's insane!

Americans aren't required to 'justify' exercising a fundamental right as a 'prerequisite' to do so.

I have nothing against gay people or their desire to be cemented into their relationship like everybody else. I'm just curious what the specific reasons are why gay people want to be "married."

Second question is: What if the government changed "marriage" to be a more general term, like Legal Union for an example, and then defined straight unions as "marriage", and gay unions as "something else". Both would carry the same legal and social benefits, as they are just specific terms under the "Legal Union" category, but are only used to specify if it is man/woman or manman/womanwoman. If it was exactly the same but with a different name, would that satisfy both sides of the argument?
Have you any good ideas to this?

The answer was no. They were offered a civil union, with all of the benefits of marriage. They refused. Is it any wonder Christians believe that this whole gay marriage thing is nothing but an attack on marriage? If fact, one of the gay leaders said that it was their intention to eradicate the institution of marriage entirely. Redefining it is the first step.

Same reasons straights want to get/be married.

No difference at all. None.

"Legal Union"

And please, not another thread on civil vs church married.

ALL marriages are civil. Some people want to hold the ceremony in a church but, legally, it means nothing.

Most gay men don't even want to get married. Those who don't usually have several partners over their lifetime. Many of them have scores or even hundreds of them. Is it any wonder that such a small minority is responsible for the majority of new aids cases. If that's not bad enough, the switch hitters then introduce it into the straight population. Religion and morals aside, the gay lifestyle is sick and perverted, and is responsible for untold suffering and death.

They don't really care about getting married. They want everyone to agree that their lifestyle is normal.

they also want everyone else to be gay too. Why else are they teaching this s*** in kindergarten? sick bastards.

As with all rights, fundamental or otherwise, to be rights, there must be a correlating responsibility that sustains such... what would be the correlating responsibility sustaining the right to marry?

Why do people say things like this when they clearly have no clue what they're talking about?

Where do ignorant idiots like this come from?

Post a link proving anyone is teaching homosexuality in kindergarten and that they're teaching it so little kids become gay.

Why do gay couples want to get married? To get the legal rights and benefits afforded married couples. It's really that simple.

This is what some of you don't understand: Gays don't give a rat's ass about offending Christians. They want to get married to be recognized as "family" and "next of kin". To have their rights as spouses legally recognized, and be able to have a say in their partner's end of life decisions if their partner is unable to express their wishes. It's about pensions, health care, and property rights.

If right wingers are offended by this, it's the right wingers problem, not the gays.

LOL! Nonsense.

Those legal rights are readily available through civil unions. The Advocacy the Normalize the Mental Disorder that presents as Sexual Deviancy has flatly rejected that solution.

What the mentally disordered crave is the LEGITIMACY of Marriage. Legitimacy which evaporates the instant they strip the institution of the standard that provides for such, which must be stripped for their participation.

What you're looking at there, is nothing short of unbridled EVIL!
