Your opinion on Gay marriage?

As we all know marriage is a very personal issue to people of religion. They see marriage as sacred and only between that of a man and a women. However there are people who are gay and straight alike who believe that everybody should be able to marriage regardless of sexual orientation.

What do you think?

Should gays be allow to marry?

 

Why shouldnt they?

Give them activities and they'll have less time to stock me D:

 

as a 100% Christian I belive that gay marriage is false and all who do it will go to hell.
*tip* Yes I am trolling, I hate every religion equal.

 

Yeah to be honest I believe that gays should be allowed to marry because that not allowing them to marry makes them second class citizen. You see the government in and of itself is not supposed to have religion infused into it and we should deem all marriages "civil unions" and award the same rights to whoever gets them.

Just my .02

 

I think it should be allowed, following the same logic that I should be allowed to marry Eva Mendes.
Just kidding.

 

I think it's dumb for it to be not allowed, because if governments are wanting to treat people equally, then not approve it...

:\

 

I think the debate is pointless since Marriages and the civil unions granted to gay couples have exactly the same rights and responsibilities in most jurisdictions. I would prefer people pick something more important than a name to ***** about.

Everyone should take a step back and ask themselves what they want, because the fact that even after same sex couples were granted the same rights as marriage, people still argue over gay marriage would seem to indicate the name is more significant than rights to most of you.. I find that rather pathetic.

All that said, I think everyone should have the same rights regardless of gender, race, religion, etc. I see no reason to deny same sex couples the same rights as opposite sex couples, but since they do have the same rights, I have no further opinion, beyond that which I have already stated about the subject being a total farce.

 

I have no problems with it, being bisexual and all, however, my ultimate goal is to have a family, a loving one. So I could never settle with another man.

 

Obviously, yes, they should be able to. Seems it's pretty much universal that they should, and we've got a similar thread where everyone basically said the same thing.

And at Dark, wanting a family doesn't mean you can't settle down with another man, as you could always adopt, but having said that it doesn't even really mean you have to be forced to adopt, as you could always have a surrogate mother.

 

No, I want it with someone I love, that we both have made.

 

Well without going into any extreme detail, both of you would have 'made' the child, or, to put it another way, the child wouldn't be there if you two weren't, so you've led to it being 'created', and on top of that, you could still be its genetic father.

Regardless, there's nothing wrong with adoption.

 

I didn't say there was anything wrong with adoption, just that I don't want to go down that path.

I want the one I love to be the other genetic parent of any children I have.

It's just not my goal Itza, sorry.

 

Lawl, no need to apologise, it'd just sounded like you hadn't considered or known it to be an option.

Overall, though, in my opinion, being biologically related to your children or parents is so overrated. No, I'm not adopted, or at least I'm not aware I am, haha, but if I was told I was today, or if I met my biological parents, what would it change?

 

Well Itza if you tried to take out life insurance it might be trickier if you didn't know who your parents were...

I fully support gay marriage and think its a shame that most western countries still hold on to rules which were "written up" thousands of years ago.

Adoption however is a bit iffy, considering various psychological factors for the child as it grows up. Humans didn't evolve under these circumstances so its kinda unknown what the long term implications would be. Of course on a merely social rights stance i support adoption as well =P

 

Well presumably you could most likely find them, but regardless I was more talking about your relation with your family, like Dark was talking about.

Also, I don't see how not being biologically related to your parents would be so psychologically different. Provided that your adopted parents don't have a biological son or daughter who's consistently favoured by them, I don't see how it's any different.

 

Yeah, why not. And lots of kids need adoption.

 

Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

 

I'm not convinced this thread is all that appropriate because it could lead down dangerous paths.

So while I will leave it open I will give this pre-emptive warning:

Anyone who says something I deem inappropriate in this thread will receive a temp/perm ban.

Also, social issues should not be political. That's as far as I'll put my input.

 

Uhm... I love boobies?!

On a serious note: I've already stated my views on such a topic, in the Prop. 8 thread. Homosexuals are human beings. Thus, they deserve the rights that other human beings share. You wouldn't see anyone passing a law against interracial marriages, or to prevent those of ethnic status from marrying. It doesn't matter if it's political, social, or religious. If others can do it, why not them?

 

Oh, but you would see people pass those laws if they could. They did in the 50s. Which only shows how far we've come in 60 years.
