I don't know if you have ever seen a gay parade, but I saw things I wish I didn't.

It's a gay parade, it's announced when and where it happens beforehand, you probably chose to be there or at least chose to watch it (unless you coincidentally stumbled upon one unsuspectedly, but then you still chose to watch it and I suspect it was more than a quick glance considering your description).
I see many things I wish I didn't by simply walking on any street, if I stumble upon a gay parade I expect people to behave in a perhaps exaggerated way as again, it's a gay parade.

So not the pride so much as the in-your-face antics of a sexual nature? That I can understand not wanting in front of the kids. Unfortunately, the anti-gay movement has encouraged protest in that form by using family values as their reasoning.
Boy, it says a lot when public discourse breaks down to name calling and nudity.

MSTER232Personally I have nothing against homosexuals, but the one thing that I do not want is every 5th guy I see on the street asking me to marry them.
I'm straight, but I'm still kind of jealous. But then I meet most straight guy stereotypes.

I hate that as much as those folks that just throw free money at me, complementary four-star dining, and constantly bother me with better job offers on my way to work.

I kind of miss being an athlete. All those guys giving you bro-slaps... nipple-twists... bear-hugs. Nothing more gay than a room of over-testosteroned team-mates.

If the problem is guys hitting on you... at least now you know how women feel when strange men come up to flirt with them uninvited and unwanted. This isn't a problem solely limited to gay social interaction.

I have no problem with homosexuality. I don't see why people hate it so much, how does it change anything about their life? Oh, because the bible said it was bad. Give me a break. Think for yourselves.

I couldn't care less if two homosexuals can "marry" themselves or not, so I don't have an opinion in this one.
Although, I'm not completely sure if it should be called "marriage" as that term has been only used to reflect conventional marriage in as between a man and a woman - "gay marriage" being called marriage could cause all sorts of misconception, especially in societies where homosexuality is still either a taboo or forbidden by law.
But a thing to consider: as in most countries, marriage grants rights to adopt a child. However, with a gay "marriage" in place, that would allow a couple of men or women to adopt a child. That's not necessarily the best option for the child, as psychologists have pointed out that a child who's grown without a mother or father has an elevated possibility to develop mental problems. However it wouldn't necessarily cause anything, it's just a "possibility".
There is a system in several countries that grants registered homosexual couples the same legal rights as married couples, in some countries without the possibility to adopt a child - isn't that quite the thing already? Why it does have to be called "marriage", as by its long-stood definition it clearly isn't?
Oh, and gays have the right to marry too. They have just to do it with someone of the opposite sex. (I do know that it's a bad joke, but they do have equal rights compared to heterosexuals, by law.)
Just some difficult points in "gay marriage" to consider for those who support it blindly.

Why shouldn't the legal union of two men or two women also be called a 'marriage'?

Because it isn't marriage by definition, custom, or tradition. I think it's a pedantic thing, but I oppose calling it marriage for the sake of terminology and marriage itself. Why not call it something different?

Just because it's only been opposite sex for so long doesn't mean it has to stay that way. Everyone else calls the spiritual and legal pact of choosing someone to spend the rest of their life with marriage, so why not gay people?
