I donno why people have such an obsession with being 'natural' these days. I'd rather have an aspirin than some nightshade.

Itisamuh your arguments against Gay Marriage are completely off base. You argue that Gay marriage should not be legal based off the fact that gay couples can't reproduce. You need to separate two things here. The first being that evolution and reproduction are natural, and the second being that the term "Marriage" or "Civil Union" is something that has been created by humans and applied as a quality of life. The argument for rejecting DOMA is that church and state are separated and denying a gay couple rights that only a straight couple has is simply unconstitutional. Whether your argument is religious or not you simply can't deny any group rights that are provided to everyone else based on preference for a specific gender. Just as others have alluded to this has long been overdue, and should have happened a long time ago.
Meant this guy "Itisamuh" sorry got the names confused.

I didnt choose to be straight, everyone is born that way, hence why 90% of people are straight. For the record my comment wasnt meant to be antigay or anything, you have the right to choose to be gay, and I dont really care if you make that choice, but its wrong to try and tell people that gay people are born that way. science still has yet to prove that people are born gay (there are theories but they arent proof) and until science proves it I will continue to believe its a choice made either because homosexuals like the lifestyle or were drawn to it because of some childhood traumatizations such as molestation or growing up in a single parent household.
So what would be there to stop 2 straight guys or straight girls who just decide to get married just for the tax benefits but arent in love and dont live together. Or whats to stop 2 straight people from marrying when one finds out he has a month to live just so he can hand over his estate to evade taxes since the other spouse doesnt pay taxes on an estate when they are now technically also the owner of it through marriage. I can see this happening so often that everyone elses taxes will be raised to compensate for it.
The only reason to be against same sex marriage is religious bigotry.
Straight couples do it all the time. Your genitalia has nothing to do with this scenario. Furthermore, need I re-link the study that showed proof that sexuality can be determined on a genetic level by altering or removing the FucM gene in lab mice that was carried out in South Korea? Let me reiterate that: One miniscule difference in genetic makeup can vastly impact an individual's sexuality; to say nothing of the fact that "choosing" your sexuality is a ridiculous concept.
Let's carry out a little scientific experiment. Try to choose to be into a sexual kink or a gender that you're not currently into. If you can't or won't, congrats, you have debunked your own stance.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-20649353President Barack Obama, who backed gay marriage in May, also took the unusual step of announcing that his administration would not back Doma in court.
The law is supported by Republicans in Congress, and lawyers acting for the House of Representatives leadership are defending the law instead of the US government.
Oh man, I would love to see this court case...

Here's that study I was talking about. Also, from dictionary.com on the word 'Theory':

I believe sexual kinks are also obtained through some traumatic experience as a person was growing up. If they were so normal everyone would have those kinks, they are called kinks for a reason. For instance someone who is a looner (has sex with balloons or get aroused by rubbing or popping balloons) may have been denied the pleasure of owning a balloon for their entire childhood, so when they become an adult they overindulge in playing with balloons and development a kink for them.
Wikipedia isn't usually credible, but those handy-dandy sources linked at the bottom tend to be, especially on academic subjects like this. You're operating off assumptions that have been debunked by modern psychology.
