What about marrying the person that you love? There is discrimination there against same-sex couples.

"The person I love is 2 years old. I want to marry him."

No, sorry, that doesn't work.

So what does it mean to get married? Being married grants the people certai rights, so why deny certain groups of people the rights of being married.

No. There is NO rights gained when you marry. You're confusing it with priviledges. And I believe I already addressed that in my previous message.

How is two people who love each other, forming a union called marriage, 'raping' the tradition of marriage?

I believe I already addressed this issue too. Please read my messages. The tradition of marriage is a man and a woman.

There is a discrimination, because those who can get married are granted certain rights and those who cannot or chose not to get married do not have the same rights.

Bull****, and you need to get your act together. I've already addressed most of this:

1) There is NO discrimination, because both heterosexuals and homosexuals have the same priviledges. END OF DISCUSSION.
2) You do NOT GET RIGHTS when you marry. You get PRIVILEDGES. And, at this time, my society has decided those priviledges go to HETEROSEXUALS. I am opposed to any kind of priviledge, but we're in a sort of democracy, and my opinion isn't the only one.

By whom is the privilidge afforded? What justifiable reason is there for granting the privilidge to one group and not another? On polygamy, I am fine with that, so long as all of the parties understand fully what they are entering into. Animals and children, no, because they cannot be said to fully understand the implications of the marriage.

Already addressed this. I would not extend priviledges.

Do you REALLY want to live in a society where five 5 men, 9 women, and 2 transsexuals are married and have kids? Would you like this kind of thing? I wouldn't.

Only time will tell on that as there is currently no evidence either way. My personal opinion is that it will be difficult for the child, but will not 'scar them for life'. However, not allowing same-sex couples will not stop them from having children, it is already happening.

Not in the United States. A federal court uphold Florida's band on homosexuals adopting a few days ago. Kudos to them. I will not support putting children through that kind of torture.

Not quite the point I was making. To clarify, marriage gives the couple certain rights, I was arguing that long term couples, whatever their gender, should not have to get married in order to prove their love and should automatically be given the same respect under law as married couples.

NO. YOU ARE NOT LISTENING-- There are NO RIGHTS. GET IT? NO RIGHTS!
