When two people of the same gender become one in holy matrimony. There's nothing wrong with it, but some people believe that it's wrong or that they are trying to get attention. They aren't. It's not a choice. Who would choose a harder life?
You don't have to be an animal to support animal rights, so you don't have to be gay to support gay marriage.

The union in marriage of two homosexual individuals. It is illegal in many places around the world, including thirteen US states.
8 Reasons to Oppose Gay Marriage:
1. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
2. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behaviour. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
3. Straight marriage has been around for a long time and hasn't changed at all like many of the principles upon which this great country was founded; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful is gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of marriages like Britney Spears' would be destroyed.
5. The only valid marriages are those which produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because are orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
6. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion here in the United States.
8. Children can never succeed without both a male and female role model at home. That's why we, as a society, expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

A completely reasonable thing. People who believe gay marriage is 'wrong' and 'unholy' are just stupid. It's two people loving each other, what's wrong with that? Marriage WAS the union of a man and a woman. WAS. Now that it is more socially acceptable to be openly homosexual, of course that will change.
People who think that gays can 'turn back straight', let's see you turn gay if it's that simple. No. You can't. Whatever sexuality you are, you were born that way. Gays may bow to social pressure and date men or women (respectively), but that doesn't mean they don't know what they feel.
The point, is that they love the person they love. There are plenty of people who are openly bisexual and homosexual, and many of them are married if it's legal where they live. It should be legalized so that everyone has equal rights.

"Did you hear? Miranda and her partner are protesting to legalize gay marriage! That's just sick."
"You're sick, bigoted asshole."

The modern term for adelphopoiesis, a medieval Christian ceremony uniting two men (or less often, two women) in a bond similar to heterosexual matrimony. Although adelphopoiesis vows resembled traditional marriage vows, they did not include a sanction of sexual relations between the couple.

The earliest written record of gay marriage is from a ceremony performed by a Catholic priest in the eighth century.

Only the second amendment, if passed, to take rights away from citizens of the United States
The other one was prohibition(ban of alcohol for stupid people) which was nullified(again, stupid people, means gotten rid of) a couple of years after it was passed

Wow, are president is taking our rights away. Just like the Patriot Act. Socials Security doesn't make sense so the entire Congress booed him during his State of the Union Address. In other words, Bush is a fucking idiot who will destroy are country.

A marriage between two people of the same gender who are not gay. Usually considered the pinnacle of a bromance where two bro's decide to become partners for life in a straight way. This is like in that movie "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry." Although Chuch and Larry were pretending to be gay, they were actually two straight men who married for reasons involving pensions or something.
"Don't worry man, everyone here knows this is a non-gay gay marriage."
"You wanna have sex?"
"No."
"Good."
"Fine."
"You wanna have sex?"
"No."
"Good."
"Fine."
