Same sex marriage

[killersheep]

No big issue let them do what they want to show their commitment, it also helps them when someone dies as there are legal rights within the marriage that couples living together do not have.

"Marriage" is between a man and a woman, they can call it a legal union or whatever, but it's not a marriage.

In a legal sense all a marriage is, is a financial contract. I don't think that churches should be forced to allow gay marriage, but I also don't believe that they should be prevented from doing so either. I really don't see the issue you have with it. Being gay is not a disease or an addiction, some people are born that way. If a church determines that marriage to them is between two consenting adults, then what's the problem?

I'm not trying to debate this, but for the most part the gay lifestyle is a choice, and it's also a psychosomatic form of schizophrenia. The problem I have is they want special rights, and to be seen as "normal", and they're not. Furthermore, if they'd keep that happy horseshit to themselves, there wouldn't be a problem, but no, they've got to stick it in everyone's face.

They are not asking for special rights anymore than what my wife and I have with our marriage which has nothing to do with religion.

Yeah, that's what they want, but the problem is they aren't man and wife, and BTW, my opinion has nothing to do with religion.

Nothing to do with religion? Then what is it ultimately, what are they offending of you?

The whole gay mentality, the fact that they're trying to make their psychotic, self serving, lifestyle mainstream and acceptable. "Marriage" is a union between a man and a woman, which usually produces children, (a family) fags and lesbians can call their "unions" what ever they want, but don't confuse it with a real marriage.

Same arguments used for the 3/5's law. It is what it is, you weren't looking for a discussion here, just looking to vent. I understand.

As consenting adults, they should be able to live together.... do each other day and night.... hang from the chandeliers.... watch "Brokeback Mountain" with a barrel of popcorn.... whatever.

But why the insistence on getting married?
Just saying....

Having the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.

[TitoFan]

Gotta go. But in short... I don't believe in same sex marriage. I believe in equal rights as far as jobs, etc. I believe they can live together as consenting adults wherever and whenever they want. I believe they should not be discrimated against in MOST areas. But... I don't believe they should be allowed to get married... they should not be allowed to adopt, except under extreme circumstances (when there is no other viable option)... and they should not be able to demand the same exact rights as heterosexual couples. Of course, that is strictly my opinion and I respect everyone else's opinion. I'm also not fanatical about my own opinion. It's strictly just that... an opinion.

Vent, hear what others had to say, and express my opinion, but you're correct, it's not something I care to debate.
I grew up in an era where homosexuals were considered mentally ill, social deviants, they wern't allowed to serve in the military, and the idea that they could get "married" someday was thought to be a joke.

Unless you are involved in a forced marriage to a man then it shouldn't bother you. I would hate to be married to a man as buggery isn't something I find terribly appealing, but if like minded others want to freely join in a same sex marriage, then it really shouldn't matter to anyone else.

Mind your own business and let others who are causing no harm to anyone else to indulge in what they like. It isn't a big deal and typically it is religious people with their small minded doctrines who get upset by it all.

Yay for abortion, yay for same sex marriage, yay for contraception. Honestly, the church and it's views are archaic and beyond belief and it is no wonder young Britain's simply don't bother going to church anymore. It has little relevance.

Well no, and frankly it just seems weird to me. Really only gay men should be into it, but seemingly a lot of straight men have a thing for it and have it on the brain as posting on here seems to suggest.

It's something that I really never consider. I only ever talk about homosexuality in a humourous way and am all for people being gay, but it's not for me at all.

Gay sex just sounds a bit dirty to me, but I should think that or else I would be gay.

The balance works out in many ways on many different levels throughout billions and billions of solar systems. So you never know, next time you may be born a male spirit locked into a female body to see if your heart can rule your mind in the face of others who would have you assimilate to their ideal.

It would be like Bin Ladens spirit being born into the body of girl in deep Pakistan.

A penny for a penny and a pound for a pound.

[Slim the BoxingManiac]

This is stupid. It's very very simple.

1. Fuck religion. It has nothing to do with marriage.

2. There is no sanctity to marriage anymore.

3. There is absolutely no reason that Gays and Lesbians should be denied the right to marry. None.

4. It doesn't fucking matter if the purpose of marriage is to have a man and a woman together because they can create a baby. Unless baby making is included permanently into the rules of marriage, it doesn't even begin to matter.

Fucking christ. I wish I could be retarded enough to think that gays shouldn't marry.

P.S. I didn't bother to read anything, and I just feel like ranting.
