gay marriage in the US

[Gandalf]

Hahaha, I see I started a thread on this ages back. What are the odds I said quite the opposite or something like that? I don't lie, I just change my mind a lot....or forget!

[Mark TKO]

live and let live. Who cares ? No gay person ever did anything to upset me - in fact on the whole I find them far more pleasant.

I've had gay friends now 20+ years and though it was a bit weird at first (it was back then - for me anyway) after a few weeks I didn't even think about it. I always take the piss out of them of course and call them 'dirty bastards' and warn them not to try bum me if i get too drunk but its all tongue in cheek and a good laugh. I remember a couple of gay work colleagues taking a few of us on a tour of the gay bars a few years back. Will never forget the dance floor being suddenly packed when a Steps song came on - watching that was a comedy gold moment for me.


What's far more worrying is whats going on in the world with these crazy IS murdering mofos. Unfortunately I fear this Tunisia incident isn't the worst thing thats going to happen this summer

Damn, the US supreme court just legalized marriage in all fifty states. I'm disappointed in the ruling. Don't get me wrong, although I find homosexuality itself repulsive and unnatural I would never dislike someone solely on the basis they are gay. It is the act of homosexuality I disagree with, not the human, if you follow me. Realizing homosexuals are, no matter how I feel about them I always thought civil unions were the appropriate way to go. I don't agree with the court changing the definition of marriage which for over two thousand years has been betwixt a man and a women, under God.WTF, very disappointed in the US supreme court.

Where would be the wrong in it, if two people of the same sex who never have sex at all fell in love and wanted to be married? They exist too btw.
Just wondering from that point of view if their love and wish to share a life would be ok where as the ones with a sex life wouldnt be?

[Andre]

It's a great ruling IMO.

Time for people to accept the fact that homosexual couples are just as legitimate as heterosexual couples. There's no real good argument against gay marriage.

People think it ruins the sanctity of marriage? Haven't shotgun weddings and the overwhelming divorce rate done that already? People think it's all about procreation? Well what about heterosexual couples that are infertile or choose not to have kids? Are they also ruining the sanctity of marriage?

I never got the hate against gays or gay marriage. It's such a fascist attitude. As a heterosexual man, the thought of having sex with another man is disgusting to me. But there's plenty of heterosexual fetishes I find unappealing, and types of women I find unappealing that others may like. Who cares? I don't have to have sex with another man, or suck on a woman's toes because some men have foot fetishes. People should stop trying to fuck with the happiness and freedom of others.

Also with over crowding and the end of the world due to it: Gays to the rescue.

Some interesting points all round on this,as usual Saddos rule compared to the bullshit people go on about on most other threads out there.

Well, once again Andre, I think if gays want to be together in such a fashion the legal unions they had were appropriate. As I've said, I don't agree with the court changing the definition of marriage. Gays do and will exists. I work with a couple of pillow bitters and I don't look down on them for being gay. The problem is not being attacked to men, the problem is the act of homosexual sex. Yes I'll say it, I think gays are called to abstain from sex. I have urges and desires I don't give into as I know they are wrong and I look at gay sex as one of those. I like you Andre, I have no desire to cornhole you, sorry to say, but if I did, I wouldn't. That may sound like a strange belief and it is not something I preach to gays, unless they ask my opinion which they don't. Anyway, just my feelings and thoughts on the matter. Has anyone ever wondered if Miles is gay, we know Kirkland is.

I don't really care what they doing to each other, i don't mind lesbians but when two guys kicking it next to me at a train station i once was at, they basically made out licked each others face off and i had to tell them to take it easy, or til they get a room, i didn't mean to hurt them or anything just cut it down in public.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, I wouldn't try to take the right from anyone. But everyone has to right to have an opinion on the opinion's and views of others, and all I can say is it makes me very happy to know that this stance against homosexuals is no longer the majority and no longer has any power. Equality is here, it's not going away and those opposed to it have lost decisively.

On the subject of religious freedom and whether or not stores should have the right to refuse service to gays on the grounds of religious freedom... freedom of religion gives you the right to practice whatever religion you want, it doesn't give you the right to arbitrarily deny the rights of others because it's not in line with your beliefs. Discrimination is not tolerated, society has determined that homosexual couples have the same rights to marriage as heterosexuals, so if that doesn't work for the churches then maybe they should start paying taxes because clearly they are inclusive and not doing a service to society as a whole.

I got a good laugh at all the homophobic Americans on twitter saying they're going to move up here to Canada because of the verdict. Gay marriage has been legal country wide up here for 10 years.

I couldnt give a rat's fucking ass if a man wants to fuck another man in the ass while singing "twinkle twinkle little star" and then get married to him, likewise, i could not give two shits if 3 women dressed as brock lesnar wanted to eat each others' vaginas out to the tune of "freebird" and then do a group marriage of 3.

Who cares even if a man wants to fuck the shit out of a horse or sheep, then marry that sheep, then divorce that sheep, then hire 3 more men to gang-bang that sheep and they all get married?

I could not give a fucking shit.

Say no more Mark. I can read between the lines....

Yes, I'm not sure about a bakery denying a cake to a gay marriage. But aren't the Bakery owners entitled to deny service to customers. We had a couple cases in the US that ended up in court but I forgot the rulings. The courts can't demand churches that don't believe in gay marriage perform ceremonies but I can see some radical couples trying to push that issue as well. The only thing that could change gay marriage, which is now the law of the land, is a constitutional amendment which would probably fail. I would like to see it go back to the states to make the decision, still posses at the supreme court.

Well, if you really don't care about getting cornholed could you stop by my house tomorrow, believe me, you will care by the time you leave my boudoir @brocktonblockbust
