[QUOTE="Ept, post: 239334, member: 3601"] Government shouldn't bring in their own beliefs to what's right and what's not. Many of the people opposing gay marriage do it because their religion forbids it. However, gays should be looked upon by the government as normal people, thereby making their marriage legal as any other. Do I support the 'act' of being gay? No. Would I legalize gay marriage if I held a government position? Yes, because it would be my duty to look upon people as equal to the law. You can't oppress people for being gay, just like you can't for speaking out against the president. While I get that marriage may be a religious thing, I also would hypothetically represent people who don't follow my religion, and it would be my responsiblity under the oath to serve all. [/QUOTE]
