GAY MARRIAGE?

In this recent election i voted no for amendment two. When my parents found out they were completely shocked and started asking me if I was a lesbian. Obviously I'm not, I just don't think that the government should tell people what they can't do with their personal lives. I mean who am I to tell someone that just because they are of the same sex they shouldnt get married? If you love someone then go for it. But either way i really dont personal care if people of the same sex could get married or not, it doesnt really affect my life one way or the other. However the premise of you not being allowed to adopt unless your married is truly unfair. There are women out that can't get pregnant and can't find that special somebody, and now they cant even adopt? Thats complete BS. Some single parent house holds actually run better than two parent households. What if a child grows up and sees his parents fighting and bickering all the time when he could have one parent and everything be peaceful? Or what if the parents get divorced, what effect does that have on a child? I am catholic and I do believe that only a man and woman should be legalized in a church. However, if gay couples want to get married in a court room, or anywhere else than that it fine with me. The bible does say that marriage in a church has to be a man and a woman so with that I agree. If you want to get married thats fine, just dont do it in a church if your gay. I believe that the government does contradict itself when it says that everyone is equal, when its apparent that everyone isnt equal. The homosexuals actually make a good point with the whole taxes thing. Although it will never happen its a good point to bring up.
I do agree that gays shouldnt be adopting children, but only because i dont want a poor child to end up being confused or ridiculed as they grow up. To sum it up, i really dont care if amendment two bans or allows same sex marriage but i do care if its not allowed for other types of relationships to be recognized. Like a man and woman who have been dating for 3 years, arent married but if one gets sick, you can't visit them in the hospital. Thats were i think the system is messed up.
