Its a touchy issue, under law they should be allowed to marry, but when it comes from a religious perspective it may interfere. I mean, marriage is suppose to be considered a sacred ceremony between man and woman, now I'm not saying because one is gay they're going to suffer/hell or whatever they believe in, I'm just saying, in the eyes of a religious person, (the priest for example) they might feel they are doing wrong by allowing the couple to marry under the house of god, or in a temple, whatever.
For example, we can use the Caricatures of Muhammad, this outraged the Muslims severely, they rioted, and caused a lot of civil unrest, until eventually they won. Now they fought hard because they feel their religion was trampled on, if they get that kind of respect, to the point where the opposition completely backs down, then so should the followers of any religion against anything that conflicts their beliefs. Now, not until the point where it tramples on ones life where the result is death or an unhealthy/unsafe standard of living.
Its a really touchy subject, but I believe yes, they should have the right to marriage under LAW, and not religion.

I believe anyone who is legitimately in love should have the right to marry their partner.
But one thing I don't understand is; if you're so in love with someone, you know you're going to remain together forever, then why does it matter so much if the state recognizes it?
As I said, everyone should have the RIGHT for the state to witness their love, but honestly, what's a piece of paper?

When it's set in stone, couples may feel their love is stronger as they're legally bound for eternity. Marriage gives a sense of closure to those who are truly in love.

I'm sure that is the case, but I still don't understand it.
The way I see it is; if you're going to get married then shouldn't your love be as strong as it can get, BEFORE putting it in stone?
And it isn't exactly like marriage DOES make you legally bound forever. Check the divorce rate in this blasted country.

Honestly I don't think they should be allowed to be married.
Like nomhak said, marriage is a religious thing.,.. well started off as one.
Between Man & Woman.
If god accepted man & man he would of made it that way. I'm not religious I'm just pointing out facts.

and sidespin your comment about "why would he allow it" or whatever.. why would he allow anything bad.. like murderers... black people...terrorists etc. Humans are run by their own mind not this so called "god".

What about people who aren't religious and don't believe in a God? Why should they have to be without something, just because of their beliefs and opinions?
That's just like saying God created cattle to be eaten, so no one in the world should be able to be a vegetarian.

If you don;t believe in god.. why do you want to get married?
I see gays only want to get married because then they would be more equal to straight partners... thats how I see it.

Because IMO, anyone who needs marriage to prove their love, isn't in love.

As I said in a previous post, I don't see why marriage is necessary, but I believe everyone should have the right to a marriage if they want/believe they need one.
But I don't agree that the only reason gays would want a marriage is to feel equal. Perhaps some are, but definitely not all.
