Same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Brazil. In some other countries, they have a legislated right to marry.
Yes. A church that permits opposite-sex couples to marry, should also permit same-sex couples to marry.
Same-sex couples should commit and marry rather than living in sin.
The couples have the power to decide. Who to marry and who not to marry.
Yes, lawyers can officiate weddings and marry couples if they are authorized to do so by the state in which the wedding takes place.
Same-sex couples should not marry if they do not love each other. They should not marry solely for money. In short, the reasons for not marrying are the same for same-sex couples as for any other couple.
At least 21,000 same-sex couples have married in Canada as of 2011. The 2011 Canadian census shows 21,000 same-sex married couples living in Canada. This does not include foreign couples who came to Canada to marry and then retuned to their home countries. Between June 2003 and October 2006, 12,438 same-sex marriages were contracted in Canada. Please note that only one province permitted same-sex marriage in June 2003. Other provinces legalized same-sex marriage at later dates and by July 20, 2005, same-sex marriage was legal in all provinces and territories. In July 2011, Canada's national statistics agency, Statistics Canada, stopped collecting, compiling and publishing statistics on the number of marriages and divorces recorded in Canada. The reason cited for this was the $250,000 yearly cost of doing so. Consequently, there will be no new data concerning the number of same-sex marriages in Canada unless this decision is reversed.
You can marry where you want, I THINK!!
Anywhere!
Currently, no countries in Asia permit same-sex couples to marry. Israel, however, recognizes foreign same-sex marriages.

I support the constitutional right of same-sex couples to marry because I agree with the Supreme Courts of the United States, Canada and Mexico.
