It's absolutely essential that we have the same safeguards that straight couples do. But I want more than a 50 percent chance of success. I don't want to emulate that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been close to two or three couples, gay and straight, who have been together for 45 years.
I've never understood why we would want to deny all the joys - and the challenges - of marriage to anyone. Which is why I think any loving, committed couple - gay or straight - should be able to get married.
We need to ensure that no one is denied employment, housing, opportunities, or benefits because of their sexual orientation.
I know a lot of very stable gay couples.
I want to make sure my family's straight.
I think same sex couples should be able to get married.
Adoption is a global issue these days - it's certainly current - and it's encouraging for a lot of couples whether they're straight or gay.
Marriage is too interesting an experiment to be tried only once.
I'm also interested in the modern suggestion that you can have a combination of love and sex in a marriage - which no previous society has ever believed.
I'm a big proponent of monogamous relationships regardless of sexuality, and I'm proud of how the nation is steering toward that.
