Is there any difference between a gay and straight marriage besides the genders

I've known several gay couples and several straight couples. All the gay people I know seem really happy, and all the straight people I know seem happy. So really, what is the difference? The gays are happy, and the straights are happy. Why don't the gays get the same rights as the straight people? Why don't they have the right to be with whoever they want to be with for the rest of their life, no matter what their sex's are?

It's not fair how the people are these days. There is simply no difference. If it's love, it's love. There is no difference. People are so unfair these days. And people shouldn't be able to decide who you're supposed to marry. I only see that as fair in a arranged marriage. And even then, you should be able to decide what sex you will be with.

My other thought, I don't think it's fair that it's only allowed to get same sex marriages in certain states. Really, it should be legal in all states. It's not fair that some people have to pack up and move to California to get married. There are a lot of gay people that don't have enough money to make that kind of move. So really only people that have loads of money can get married if their gay, so gay marriage should be everywhere.

Religious issues has somewhat of a part of this. Like in some churches, gay people are banned but straight people are not banned. It's not right that those people can't even follow their own religious because of those homophobic people. Some religions, like Christianity, simply say that gay people are evil and will go to hell. How is that right? There is no difference between the two, gay and straight. Not really. It's still love, no matter what. That's why there are so many people that are Agnostic and Atheist. Are gay people evil just because of who they love? No way.

And then when you think of it, how many people are gay? To many to name. What about straight? Also to many to name. There is seriously no difference between the two. Just of who you care about, and what sex they are. Most people that say it's wrong are either homophobic or just plain "evil" how they call gays.

In fact, there are studies that say that every single person on Earth is bisexual. And then they run around saying that bi and gay people are evil? Ha, that's funny. Then that means that they themselves are evil. And that they themselves are going to hell. I'm not sure if those studies are right or not, but their accurate. I just don't see how gay people are evil, or gay people are "bad people", there is no difference between gays and straights.
