For those against, why are you against it?
It's love and nobody can place a value on someone else's love, it doesn't cause disturbance to you as a person if you steer clear.

Mhm.

I'm for that because as long as they are 2 consenting human adults they should be allowed to be with whomever they want.

Equal rights for all is not equal and not allowed to all if a minority group wants access to these rights and benefits but are denied by religious powers in congress.

We are not a Christian state; we are not affiliated with any religion as much as some people would like to believe and as such should not be held to any one legal or moral standard according to specific religions... especially if those standards are inherently bigoted.

It's untraditional and some even go as far as saying it's a gateway to bestiality.

Abolish the title of marriage in the legal sense. Create the institution of civil unions and make them available to couples of consenting age (or with parents' permission). Award rights and benefits to all members of the institution. Allow "marriage" to exist solely as a religious title, and allow respective religions to award the title to whomever they deem fit.

The fact that something is unnatural does not mean it is morally evil, monogamy is quite unnatural, yet you would hardly argue that monogamy is morally evil. Furthermore, homosexuality isn't even unnatural. Thousands of species have elements of homosexual behavior.

Why is consensual sex with another adult of the same species a gateway to non consensual rape with a member of another species?

Religious lies. Most of the founding fathers where atheists and deists. the United States was founded to get away from Christians.

Traditions certainly can and should change with time. Slavery is an example of such a tradition, but maybe you think slavery is morally good? After all, both the old and new testament supports slavery.

I support it because there's no reasonable justification for prohibiting it. Legal marriage bestows certain privileges and legal bonds upon a couple. Since there are those that form same-sex pair-bonds, there seems to be no reason why the scope of legal marriage shouldn't be expanded.

The idea that allowing any two consenting adults to wed would lead to bestiality is absurd. That anyone should even conceive of that connection is absurd.
