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.
