Should Gay Marriages Be Legalized

Should gay marriages be legalized?  This should be an easy question to answer, right?  Two people in love should have the right to solidify their love by marriage vows.  But for some reasons some individuals are dead set against it due to the fact that it's not a man and a woman getting married, so it is just wrong. 

My standing is who are we to be the judges of what two people in love wish to do to solidify their life-long vows to each other?  Some say it's in the Bible that a man marries a woman...  My guess is that when the Bible was written, they didn't know they needed to be very specific on genders or expand to include two men or two women.  It was just left up to our interpretation (beliefs) of what WE as individuals think is wrong and right.  So if we think gay marriage is wrong, then "that's what the Bible meant by saying a man and a woman" and "it doesn't say a man and a man".  My definition of a marriage, two people in love that want to bind their vows and commitments to each other.  In the dictionary, "marriage" is "any close or intimate union".  In the dictionary "marry" is "to get married; take a husband or a wife."  Where does it state (other than in our OWN mind) that a husband can't unite with a husband, or a wife with another wife?

Further more, why would we not want two people to be committed to each other, instead of spreading whatever diseases come about because they are not happy in a relationship that is acceptable to society, and the one they want to be in is unacceptable to society.  What they want to do behind closed doors is none of our business - EVEN when it's a man and a woman, so why is it for us to say it's wrong just because we do not feel a committment to the same sex.

When gay couples get married, they aren't asking us to join in the relationship, only to celebrate their unity as a couple.  This is the same as a man and a woman getting married.  They aren't asking us to join in the relationship, only to celebrate their unity as a couple.  Many gay couples have better relationships and commitments than many married couples, and we don't ask them what goes on in their bedroom, so why does it matter if they are the same sex.
