2 cents worth:-
Point :-
1. Heterosexuals can have a defacto and this person can talk for them at a lot of legal levels...eg:- you can give them as next of kin
2. Gay relationships have no right legally to talk on one anothers behalf....
Point 2 I feel is the biggest issue for most gay couples...
If they were legally married...they can make choices for their spouse just like any other couple...
I feel sure it is not about the church wedding but having the same rights as anyone in a long term relationship...
...I mean correct me if I'm wrong here, but the main argument against gay marriage seems to be purely because of religious reasons. Which brings into question the separation of church and state. [cough cough]
Before this thread gets too hot.
Sorry ladies, I really am, but let's face it this forum is going to stay a bloke's forum for a long time. Besides, we really like ladies. We really, really do. Especially smart ones, whatever that means... i'll dig my way out of this PC hole yet.
I agree with Adolf.
And also with fly surfer in a sense
Just quickly marriage was around before the state and it is till today (although recognised by the state in any which way that it wants) a religious ceremony.
It's true stitch how does it affect me if they want to get married? well it does, they are wanting to change a religious ceremony to make it there way. And therefore destroying its natural status (being a man and a woman) Why cant i marry a dog? or Three women and a snake? They are all out of the boundaries.
They want us to accept gay marriage without accepting what marriage is :s
And i do care what is happening in society. Marriage is a building block of society. Families are built and come from a natrul normal marriage. Have some respect for the people who cherish marriage and leave ur fetish in ur bedroom.
I have decided to believe in equality for all.
I now believe in so much equality I don't even think homosexuals should be called something different to hetrosexuals. I think homosexuals should be called hetrosexuals so they are equal.
Or is it OK to have a sexual orientation that is called something different, but not OK to have a partnership that is called something different ?
Now it all just seems too confusing to me. I might just go back to calling 'em all homos.
actually the last wedding i went to two brides maides were a male gay couple. the grooms grandmother didn't quite understand. everyone else couldn't give a sh!t and why would you.
Cause I only go to weddings to Get royally drunk for free and to hit on the bridesmaids..
And my reach around is a little out of practice
"I believe their agenda is far more sinister and aimed squarely at breaking down the moral fibre of our society." ???? OOOOHHH YEAHHHH! the gaypocalypse, HA HA!
i can't believe how many people are against same sex marriage and parenting.
it wont effect YOU in any way. simple as that
