I mean, what are these people hoping to achieve out of their marriages?

I don't want my 6-10 year old son coming home today and saying, "Hello daddy, look at this book my teacher gave me *opens pages* see here is a lesbian, and here is a homosexual"

Personnally, I feel that children at that age are TOO young to have matrial like that.

I said I would rather have that matrial introduced when they are at an age of discovering themselfs (teenage years) and your telling me thats a bad thing?

When I mean encourage, I mean I think it could possibly, key word, possibly encourage people to become gay.

And when I mean encourasge Im thinking "Hey COME ON AND BE GAY, its so SUPER"

And being gay is unnatural to me

And Ezday2, why FORCE something into a child's life? mmmmm

also, why do YOU think its ok to show LITTLE CHILDREN about this stuff when they barely understand anything at all at those ages, and if some do understand this, WHY burden them with the stress of wondering if he/she is gay or not. A 7 year old wondering if he is gay or not disturbs me.

why is everybody saying if God didn't want gays then He would would never had made them exist? the truth is, this is what i have learned, that God cannot control your freewill, like in the movie Bruce Almighty, good movie

Great movie, but the whole, "Let's not let every know that you're god." part made me want to go over and just bitch slap the writer. Cause if every one saw god, there would still be freewill. Do people not understand this?

Well Im already prepared to be flamed but I say to hell with Same-Sex Marriages.  Just imagine the whole world, all of us gay.  No one would be born...no one would live.  God created a man to love a woman, not a man to love a man or woman to love a woman.  Just my opinon, but when it DOES come down to it, as long as they dont personally affect me, I could care less either.

So why are gays here?

I dont get you people. "IF THE WHOLE WORLD WAS GAY WE COULDNT REPRODUCE!!!" ...were not all gonna be gay if gay marriage is legalized!

It's not forcing it into their lives. It's same sex marriage, not "put gay everywhere, in the books in school, on television on every show and channel". Marriage isn't so wonderful anyway, but you can't encourage someone to become gay. It's a hell of alot more enviromental factors then that, so your fears are errational.  All it will encourage is  for closeted homosexuals to come out, and for people to become more comfortable with it. Read my post again, STARS, there are alot of ANIMALS that are homosexual. ANIMALS, you know, 50% of the idea of "natural". Not just in zoos, so don't bother saying "domestication!!", because there are dozens of species that exhibit same sex attractions in the wild. If you can say something that animals do is unnatural because a book wrriten two thousand years ago says so... well, looks like someone isn't the most progressive thinker. Just because gays are getting married doesn't mean everyone is going to have be told this and that about it. All you have to change is "When two people love each otheer very much". And besides, only 10% of the population is gay, and it's not contagious, (AND IT'S NOT A BIRTH DEFECT, FOR THE LAST FREAKING TIME), and even if your nightmare comes to life, it's might raise the number to 30%... but since when do we need more people?! Six hundred billion people is a bit too many..

EDIT: In response to Millenium:

Well, I've never looked it up so I understand that I could be wrong, but as I understand it, married couples gain plenty of benefits from state and government.
That's completely different.
I never said anything about books in which the subject is being gay, only that I see nothing wrong with books with gays in them.
Again, I ask you, explain your reasoning.
No, I'm telling you it's not a bad thing to not hide it from them earlier.
Teaching about it specificaly and revealing it are completely different things.
Right. And Starcraft could "possibly encourage" people to go and kill people. Or those GTA games. But I don't believe there's anything wrong with them, because their effect is minimal.
To quote you: "key word, possibly".
No one ever said anything at all about doing that.
Refer to my argument above the last.
...
Pay Some Attention... -_-
How is letting it be okay "forcing" it in someone's life? Does it even matter??
Why would I not think that it's okay to show them 'about this stuff'?
"Mommy mommy my teacher showed me a book that had a gay in it! She's corrupting my childhood!!"
... I don't think  that will happen...
"Barely understand anything at all at those ages"...  What the crap does that have to do with it?
"...and if some do understand this, WHY burden them with the stress of wondering if he/she likes pizza or not. A 7 year old wondering if he likes pizza or not disturbs me."

Second to lastly, all your reasons for not censoring homosexuality being bad could also be turned around... except for one;
We should ban all books from upto 5th-grade schooling that show a man and woman that are married.
In fact, they shouldn't ever see a someone wiht a boy/girlfriend or spouse!
They don't know about this stuff!
Hell, let's make them not know that there's any difference in males and females other then appearance! They're too young to know about this stuff!!

And lastly...
It seems to me that them being ignorant of even the possibility of loving someone of the same gender in anything more than a family-way is part of the cause of discrimination against gays:
They see absolutely nothing about the concept, then in 4th grade they hear about it or see someone being called "gay" and ask what it is.
It seems unnatural, but they've never been told that, in this case, it's not an inherantly bad thing, it must have been hidden from them for a reason! Because it's "bad"!
Or, of course, if all their friends are using "gay" as an insult for the same reason as above.
It's kind of hard to teach someone that it's not inherantly bad if you hide it from them until they're getting near their idiot-years(middle school).
And no, I'm not talking about teaching about it in particular, just not hiding.
As I said before, focusing on something and not hiding it are completely different matters, but you STARS seem to keep confusing them.

mmmm BECUASE THATS WHEN THE CHILDREN ARE OLD ENOUGH to learn it.

(birth defect) Actually it is, my biology teacher was talking for some reason about why some organisms go after the same sex.  It has to do with some strand in your brain, in males its short and in females its long.  If a male is born with that strand too long he will have urges to go after males during his life time.  Same for females.

Plus I was never debating with you in the first place.

If a school teacher gives and young child a book about homosexuals, and gives them out to her/his entire class, thats not forcing them to look at it?  They are 6-10 year olds.....

and we have around 6 billion people, not 6 hundred billion, I think that was a typo on your part.
Why do you think sex ed starts at a specific grade? mmmm BECUASE THATS WHEN THE CHILDREN ARE OLD ENOUGH  to learn it.  Im not saying censor this matrial completely, Im saying if your going to teach these kids about gays, teach them when they are at an older age and not when they still watch barney (example).

You guys obviously don't think as a parent would/should and you guys always talk about logic this and being smart and such (in other topics) These children don't know what logic means, they don't have good reasoning skills. 

MY POINT:  Teach children about this topic at older ages and not when they are 6-10 years of age.
