Same-sex marriage

I think that you will find that many gay people find the term "marriage"to be a religious term. They are more likely to support same sex partnership equality. If two same sex people have committed to each other and have joined in a legal "partnership" then they should be afforded the same rights that a "traditional" couple have. If we truly have a country which believes in equality and separation of church and state then we need to to stop following the religious meaning of "marriage" and look more closely at legal unions.

For the record, homosexuals find it very offensive when you refer to them as "homos". I find it offensive when you refer to one of your close friends as a "really good gay person". If you really thought he was your friend he would just be a "really good person".

 

, you will probably catch one for this .

I do however AGREE completely !!!

 

gays or same sex marraige doesn't affect me or any part of my life, so..let em be.

 

lets put it this way, in my opinion, I do not believe in it, nor do i approve of it, however, we have to showlove towards people and tolerate them as much as we dont want to. and in this case, I believe in marriage between a man and a woman.

 

lawl

 

<p>I guess you'd have to believe in demons first. I'm not on that boat,lol.

 

let he who is without sin cast the first stone

them married by the church is one thing, but they should have all the same rights we do. they should have a civil union or whatever its called and have all the same benefits a marriage has.ive had gay friends and les friends and i see nothing wrong with they do, theyre people just like you and me

 

Wow, interesting discussion. I'm really surprised that it maintained a generally civil tone. Even up here where it has been legal for a while, there are still strong words used in heated debates on the topic.

Pster, good on you for standing up for what you believe. I disagree, but you argued your case admirably, even if you did resort to cliches on occasion.

As for the homosexuality thing, really, why does it matter so much to some people? What two consenting adults do to each other is their business, not ours, not the state's (within reason of course).

As for the age of consent, we recently upped ours from 14 to 16, and Canada is generally held to be more, well, liberal, in that sort of thing than the US. I think the changes are a response to the desire for more liberty without sacrificing protection for those who need protecting.

Ya, anyway, go gay marriage! I'm straight, but anti-marriage (I think it is an antiquated tradition stemming from a time when women were property and marriage was a way to stake a claim). If they're dumb enough to want to be married, let them. It's their life.

 

hahahaha...i love that..

 

+1

 

i have no problem what so ever.
Everybody has the right to be happy

 

It doesn't bother me.

 

If its not your life, its not your fuckin business to decide how to live it.

get over it and let them be.

and dont use "family values" as code for "filled with christ-shame by daddy"

 

I know thats what Pster said when i was going down on him!
