I'm pretty much like a pig in **** this week........ the Labour party conference is on and for me a good conference is like "sexpo"...... yeah, I know, sad isn't it. But anyway , Gay marriage........ are we all for it, or ???????
as one Australian realist said
"i got a bleedin a#s cartin bags of hay with my old man, imagine what a big old black d%ck would do to me"
Suddenly the meaning of "Log Man" just became apparent
I thought it was just because you were happiest backdooring on your big ,long......oh never mind...
Pro.
I think they should be able to marry legally, but this rises a question.
It's kinda of a big thing that christian religions (correct me if I'm wrong) are against homosexuals. (the usual leviticus idiotic quote is one of the examples) So you are a gay woman, or gay man, and you believe in God as taught by let's say Protestant Churches (or Catholics, or Baptists, doesn't matter). You want to get married with the person you love. Why would you get married under the wing of a religion that considers you and your love scum? I think that it would be more logical to follow a religion that has the same values except for that (I honestly don't know if there's any, but I could be wrong).
SO basically I think they should be able to get married, adopt kids, use assisted procreation.. everything a human being can do, every human being should be able to do, straight, gay, bisex, transgender, asexual...
But still I don't understand their reasoning, why would they want to.
sure why not.... whatever..... maybe it is just me but when I get drawn into this debate I feel like one of a group standing around on the deck of the titanic discussing chair arrangements?
It's not like I can't see both sides points I just think marrage means stuff all these days anyway its not like its for life
(yes I honestly believe I would hve the same opinion if I was gay) as in you can call me married ,you can call me iggle piggle ! what do I care still living the same life
This is a case of the mainstream religions imposing their beliefs onto a minority.
If two adults want to get married, what right do other people have to object. If they wanna walk down an aisle, exchange words and sign a certificate, let em do it.. I don't have a problem with it..
why exclude someone from societal rights just because of sexual preference?
i like blondes, some blokes prefer brunettes, some prefer other blokes.
as barn said, the sky's not gonna fall because same sex couples can marry
I say who cares is it really important.
If gays marry it affects nothing. That graph displays it beautifully
But as was said why would the gays join together under a religion that refuses to tolerate their preferances.
Although i think god was gay - he had 12 blokes who followed him everywhere and doted on every word. Think he was black too.
It's an odd issue.
For years and years I grew up around Oxford St, Sydney seeing the rise of the gay movement and the Mardi Gras and the decline of the "Orange people". The persecution of homosexuals become less and less, the orange people disappeared - tough titties. Throughout the 80's I thought the gay message was, we are different, please just accept us for who we are.
Now I see their message as, we want to be just like you.
I couldn't care less if they want to get married, I'm just confused by this issue.
I would think this is more of a church thing rather than a government thing.
Where's the mardigras for the hetro's,
Why do the gays have to prance around half naked throwing it in our faces, and then expect us to like it,
Now, If your the type of deviout that would take care of farmer joe's (favorite) pet sheep on the way home from a late nighter, or like crossdressing I could maybe understand it but................
I dont think the pink tutu]s gonna help the cause much
Go figure
I still say get a dog, maybe two
Gay unuion has to be good for those that are that way inclined..........
the world needs more of these unselfish types....[}:)] the more NON BREEDERS
in the world has to be a great thing. I like wars too...
at least it keeps
the spiraling population in somewhat of a check. There are just too many human
inhabitants on the planet, who have no actual worth. 
too many breeders
Perhaps marriage is not an issue politicians and the state should have anything to do with. Marriage traditionally has been an agreement between individuals to live their life together with certain rules agreed to between them. The community they live in accept and formalise this partnership.
So why do we have a marriage act? It is primarily there to prohibit relationships that are judged by the politicians as immoral. Perhaps it would be better for individuals and the communities they live in to decide what is right and wrong. As long as no one is hurt or abused or they are claiming payment from the government based on their marital relationship, the government should have nothing to do with how people live their lives
Can someone tell me the difference in being married or not as to how it affects your life?
I've been married for 20 years, and the certificate that proves it from the State of Nevada, Las Vegas, with Elvis Presley embossed in the cover means very little to me.
It was the unwritten agreement/commitment that we made together as partners, between ourselves - prior to that faux wedding- that cemented our bond.
Why would anyone need to get married?
if they want to be together -great.
but the underlying factor is they want to be 'recognised' so they can have access to children and we are all going to pay for it.
point is if your same sex couple you can't produce children- that a natural fact of life. if your choice is same sex well, that's your 'choice'- live with it.
yes i'm aware it happens now. i personally don't think its fair to the children to be raised in a same sex relationship that they have no choice in. i get the impression its more about their desires then the children
you can't have every thing in life, but i can see this government is going to give them everything.
now hears a scenario, what about a single man that wants to have a child- why can he have one, why should he be discriminated from having access to children?
where does it stop
Anyway. My marriage started off gay and now it isn't.
So you can have both. In fact it seems to be the norm
