Your opinions on gay marriage

[burner69]

What do you people think on the matter of gay marriage?

I find it horrific that Bush can allow places to ban it. It is taking things back to the 60's where a lot of horrible things happened to homosexuals because of the government.

If you think that gay marriage is wrong, please tell me why.

If you think that gays are not natural, you are wrong - humans are born bisexual, it is the society that makes them straight or gay.Some people will find some people of the same sex attractive, if you have a problem with that that's fine, but it should not give you the right to stop it.

If you think they are bad parents I'd disagree, homosexuals are often very caring people, and would make very good parents. If you think they would raise their child to be gay I believe you are misguided. They are aware of the predjudice homosexuals get and I'm sure would raise their children the same as you and me, encouraging their adopted son/daughter if they got in a relationship of the opposite sex.

It is a fair enough argument to say that seeing your parents together if they were gay may encourage you to be gay - but I think that by the time they start feeling sexually motivated at puberty they will have been in such a heterosexual envirmonment at school they will be able to make their own minds up on who they liked.

And if they did grow up to be gay. So what? What harm does that do society?

The only harm comes from people too ignorant to appreciate that the rest of the world does not think exactly the same as them.

^My view.

What are yours?

 

[Platinum]

I'm absolutely fine with it.

 

[The Monkey]

Yes, if two people fall in love they should be allowed to get married, no matter if they are of different sex or same.

 

[ShadowFox]

Yes, but they shouldn't be allowed to adopt children. I'm fine with them being in love, but in my mind, when you make the decision to go against nature, we shouldn't help them out by giving them a backup child.

 

[chimpmunk]

then sex for fun is against nature too, because the purpose of sex is to reproduce so contraceptives are against nature.

 

[K e r b e r o s]

Damn chimp. You get a sticker.

Im for Gay Marriage, and they should be allowed to have kids.

 

[ailevation]

:naughty: Gay marriage is perfectly fine! Power to the gay people!

On a side note. My friend's brother's friends got beat up by some gay dudes. They were the masculine gay guys. THEY GOT THEIR ASSES OWNED BY GAY DUDES!

Yeah I know a few gay people, and not one fits into the camp stereotype.

 

[<RJMC>]

I am fine whit it cuz is not bad IMO

 

[ComradeBadger]

I am fine whit it cuz is not bad IMO

Yep, me too.

 

[Lil' Timmy]

"backup child"???

 

[Tr0n]

I'm perfectly fine with it.

 

[jaguar_987]

I have nothing against gays marrying, im not so sure about them adopting children though. How would you like having 2 daddy's?? Nevermind the ribbing you'd receive in school, it just seems unfair.

 

[Fat Tony!]

Absolutely fine, as long as it isnt in a church. A registry office will do, else it will piss off those christians.

 

[Apos]

News flash: gay familes ALREADY adopt and raise children. There are about 150,000 gay parent families in the US already.

I think we all know that. but some people disagree on whether this should be allowed.

I didn't know there were so many in America, cheers for the stats!

 

[Sulkdodds]

My answer to the question of gay marriage is...yeah, why the hell not? If gay people want to marry I see no problem with it. Homosexuality is in fact a thing which occurs in the natural world amongst all animals as well as humans.

 

[seinfeldrules]

Civil unions should be an option in the poll.

 

[RabidMeatloaf]

"Yes, I'm fine with that."

Not to mention I once wrote a 3 page essay on it for my english class..

In my school there is a black child adopted together with his sister by two gay men. The kid is real cool, and damn funny. And no there is nothing feminine about him. Nobody teases him either, because they would be jackasses.

 

[merc]

you guys who like gay marriage must be gay or something,,, because its just sick!

-merc

Don't start.

 

[Lil' Timmy]

merc, gay marriage is natural and right, hence the unbalanced poll...

-lt

 

[Kangy]

There's no valid argument against civil unions, really.
:-/

It isn't "against nature" or "socially wrong" as the animal kingdom has plenty of homosexual animals, and many civilisations have accepted and strengthened with homosexuals in their population.

Insecure?

 

[Mechagodzilla]

The best argument for gay marriage:

Straight marriage gave us merc.


Anywho, if gays want to marry and call it marriage, we should let them. It's their liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Anything else would alienate those inalienable rights.
For that reason, a vote against gay marriage is a vote against america and against freedom.

someone is getting a bit personal? :naughty:

besides.. how do you know they were married? :|

 

[Wraith]

this forum has some of the best, smartest, most open-minded people i have ever known. i wish we could all start our own country together, seriously, i live in america but i hate all the shit that happens here. if 2 guys want to get married, let them! itll make them happy and isnt that what we all want? who are you to say they cant be happy? its disgusting whens omeone says that gays shouldnt be allowed to get married.l

 

[Wraith]

-merc

its not that we "like" gay marriage, its just that we care about other people whether they are gay or not, and most of us generally elieve everyone has the right to be happy.

 

[Mechagodzilla]

I'm just joshing around, but the point still stands:
Gay marriages produce no whiney children.
And in a world nearing overpopulation, that's not half bad.

And if his parents weren't married, well, then he'd be a tad hypocritical, wouldn't he?
"Straight marriage is the only way!"
"Were your parents married?"
"Uh... no."

 

[dart321]

I'm fine with it also. I mean who are we to tell people who they can and cannot be so long as it hurts no one? I think I speak for alot of people in the forum when I say we don't exactly like the idea of gay sex but thats not a reason to take away some people's rights.

 

[Some_God]

A guy and a guy - no

A girl and a girl - HELL YES!

:E

 

[CTTcrew_MrBlue]

Ill tell you guys something, My Mother is Gay and her partner lives with us.
Because they were not allowed to get married in this country legally under the church, They had a blessing at a church near us that does allow it.
The day she was Blessed was the happiest day of her life and one of my most fondest memorys (this was about a year ago).

Okay, forget about the merc joke. This is the best reason right here.
This sort of happiness shouldn't be outlawed.

Congrats on that Blue. So is this blessing just like a marriage?

 

[Homer]

Why should the government sanction gay marriage? If you want to be married, FINE. Be married. Just let anyone try to tell you your not.

This is all about trying to force the rest of the country to embrace their homosexuality instead of simply tolerating it.

cheers mate

It was very similar to a marriage, as they said there vows and all that kinda stuff, but obviously it cant be official but at the time it didnt really matter .

Well, that would normally be the case, except the government provides benefits to married couples.

This is "trying to force the rest of the country to embrace their homosexuality instead of simply tolerating it" about as much as equal pay wages for women is all about "trying to trying to force the rest of the country to embrace their femininity instead of simply tolerating it."
The government shouldn't pay two people different amounts for the same thing based solely on superficial differences.

So in order for equality to work, they should legally accept gays, or they should stop giving benefits to married straights.

 

[craig]

Why does this bloody topic get recycled every few weeks. People who don't agree with gay marriage (myself included) will always think it's wrong and the people whoa are fine with it will always think its fine!

why do we need to debate it?

/me notes that theres never any topics on marriage between a man and woman i.e. "do you think the divorce rate in the developed world is absolutley apauling, and this in part is due to the fact that the sanctity of marriage has been destroyed through people marrying on a whim and homosexuals in certain states being granted the right to wed and even some people being given rights to marry animals :|?"

 

[SLH]

While i don't understand the attraction far be it from me to condemn it.
