Not every marriage is under Christianity. I say the government should allow people to be wed under any religion that will allow them; and then have the same rights and benefits that all married people have. Such as insurance benefits that are only given to married couples, if two people are dedicated to each other for years and one of them passes away the one still living should get the life insurance money. and if they live together and one is dependant on the other to live and they break up they should get similar things to divorce benefits. These are the things gays are fighting for, the equal benefits that straight couples can have, because in some places if your partner dies you get nothing, if you break up they can take what they want unless both your names is on it.
Oh and just a note, I go to a Christian church and my minister supports gay marriage, there are thousands of other churches just like ours who would preform a gay marriage if requested, but some are in places where gay marriage is illegal and if they want to preform the marriage they should be alloud
Church and state are seperate. The only reason not every marriage is under religion is because the church originaly allowed non members to marry due to the fact that they believe all people will eventually find god, and allowing them to marry just helps that. But in the eyes of the church (whom the institution of marriage belongs too) gays can't find god, as he rejects homosexuals.
So you see there is a religious dilemma in this issue that effects not just tradition but gods word. They don't want gays to marry because god is against it (obviously lol), and they don't want to dishonour him.
do you just read the first sentence of everything I write? THERE ARE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES ACROSS THE GLOBE THAT SUPPORT GAY MARRIAGE! sorry for the caps but I felt that was a key point. Also, as stated before there are rights that only belong to married couples that gays would like. Legal rights decided by the government.
because rights that most couples have, or have the choice of having, gay couples are being rejected because one religion says no. Many religions have things similar to marriage, which are recognised as marriage under western laws, many of these even support gay marriage.
Do you think gay people should have the right to marry?

Deviate versions of the church yes. But they don't answer to the traditional christian beliefs. I don't know how you aren't getting this.
