Question to Homosexuals

[Deadclever23]

Just a question to any homosexuals out there.

Do any of you actually want to get married?

I know some various homosexuals who really couldn't be less bothered. They seem to see marriage as something that does not really apply to them in a way they care for and they seem to just be happy living together.

So what do any of you homosexuals think?

Though I'm not gay, I imagine several of them do want to be able to marry. I make this assumption from the evidence that this has even become an issue. I do know some gay people, none of them are not even considering marriage mostly because of age and still being college, but they still all want to be able to do it if they choose to.

I'm bisexual, and I want to enjoy the benefits of marriage when I finally find someone I want to live with for the rest of my life, regardless of his/her sex. I couldn't care less for the term marriage, but marriage and registered partnership isn't the same before the law, and especially not the same before society.

I know a couple of gay men and a couple of gay women and both are married.

I'm straight and I dont want to because I dont see the point in it.

I'm bisexual myself. I'm currently not interested in a steady relationship, but I could reconsider if I find the right man and/or woman.

And of course if I were in a really serious relationship, I would like them, regardless of gender, to have the legal rights as my spouse.

I'm outright gay, and married.

Although, I married for different reasons.

When I got married, I thought it would be my only chance to be married. And time was running out. So... it was either get married... or face the possibility of never getting married.

So, I married my best friend Isaias. We don't sleep with each other, and we're more like brothers... but he wanted to get married too.

Not everyone has a need for marriage, gay or straight.
If the law was equal for gays, I would not have married until I met someone.

I was in a long term relationship since 1999 for 8 years.
My ex married too (we're now on good terms.)

He feels the same way.
He feels that if he had time, he would like to know someone for a while... and THEN marry.

Marriage is an important thing, and despite what the Yes on 8 people says... the domestic partnership laws aren't perfect. People are always contending, always messing up gay lives, making it just plain miserable.

I mean, it's so hard to seperate because there isn't really a perfect body of law like marriage to preside over individual cases. Instead, you got to higher specialty lawyers.

In short...
marriage is a personal issue. It should be oppen so that they can make their own decisions on how to conduct their lives. Some won't marry. But others often have that need.

I'm bisexual, and am engaged to another woman. The wedding itself is coming up in the next few months.

Like it's been said, not everyone wants to get married, whether they be gay or straight, but there are many that do. Sexual orientation does not dampen that desire to get married to someone one is in a long term relationship with.

I would love to get married to my partner. And probably when we are more financially stable we will move to a state/country where we can.

I'm sorry, but--
read this post with the word filter.

It's fucking HILARIOUS...

I've busted a gut, literally... re-reading these with "Kevin Bacon"

[SadisticMonkey]

Lol bisexual, as if you would.

Hey, here's a question for homosexuals that is about as valid; Do you guys and girls get turned on by your own wieners and vaginas?

That's Autosexual.

[BazookaJack]

Not really.

They can have partnerships and unions, but I don't think that satisfies some of them. At his stage of the game, I think their aim is to accquire the "marriage" label so they can be a couple just like their parents.

course, some activist judges are just angsty and will give you a tongue-lashing in public.....

The difference between a "civil partnership" and a marriage is the legal rights tied to them. In my home country the difference is pretty small, but has some importnat parts, like the ability to adopt your partner's children as the second guardian.

Also, there's the slight segragationist implication in the term civil partnership, it's not as prestigious as marriage.

[BestNameEver]

I'm bisexual, and the idea of getting married when I'm older though doesn't sound realistic due to my age is definitely something I'd want to be able to choose whether my "lover" is to be a man or women. If I can marry a man, it should be just as legal for me to marry a woman.

[Athlas]

Marriage, either as a religious formality or a possibility to share your life together in the eyes of the government, doesn't really bother me. I don't want to get married, because it's an out-dated, obsolete formality. I'd much rather live together with a man/woman I love, perhaps even for the rest of my life.

Still, I believe everyone has the right to get married, and neither state nor religion is allowed to prevent that.

So what do any of you homosexuals think?

I'm not gay myself, but I don't really get this. Why wouldn't gay people want to get married? Gay people aren't some different species, different from straight people. If the average Joe wants to get married sometime in his life, why would the average gay Joe not want to get married? What part of being gay makes him so inherently different in other regards than who he is attracted to?

Dont think it will happen anytime soon Obama turned his back on them and Prop 8 went through (I voted and donated to that).

Because, you know, California is the world.

Also, gotta love Christians who donate a total of several million dollars to fight against gay marraige, instead, of you know, the poor. WWJD? Shake his head in disbelief, I would say.

lol if you wanna know it was mostly blacks and latinos who voted no

Relevant, how?

Also, black, white, latin, asian, christians, the lot of them. The people who donated the bulk of the money for the extensive campaigning, however, I'm willing to bet where mostly mid-and-upper class whites.

And the point still stands; millions of dolalrs spent on campaigning against gay rights -- the christian way to use money?
