What is wrong with gay marriage?

[psychomonkeyparade]

Tell me. Because I can't figure out why it's so bad.

And if you say 'it's disgusting' you're an asshole.

Nothing, it just makes people feel uncomfortable, because they have no life and they have to pry into others. Which is generally why we even have local news now, but that's aside from the point.

Actually, without sounding so bitter. It probably has to do more with our lack of communication between people and ability to comprehend differences. Adults should be allowed to decide their own decisions without the government always having to intervene, unless some feasible law is being broken or if someone is being hurt (Which would blow NAMBLA out of the water).

So, you see. Nothing is wrong with it, just the so-called "equal" and "understanding" society.

I'm not gonna start the gay - not gay thing, but I will say this: I think marriage is stupid. When relations break up all hell breaks loose over money and homes and everything. So why not just dispence with the idea and save all the bullshit even happening

Because of the benifits of being married.

[HappyBull]

Because marriage is supposed to be forever defined as between a man and a woman.

Even though I've never heard the phrase until this shitstorm started.

Theres two issues on debate here. One is whether homosexuals are people and the other is church versus state.

I think all people are people no matter what they do, what they believe, what they look like, who they choose to have sex with, etc. and so on, should have all of the same rights. Some people don't and I have no fucking clue why. It falls a million miles away from me how anyone can think anyone less of a person for being different. Leaves me scratching my head in disgusted wonder.

The family excuse is outright bullshit, if it meant anything why can old people get married? They can't have any kids. Consider this argument smashed.

The religions in this are just making up excuses to keep what little power they still have left in the government. They try to say marriages will not last long between homosexuals (as if heterosexual marriages last.) They also claim that marriage is a religious event. Ha..Ha... (Scoffs at this claim.) I think religion took a back seat in marriage the day the Strip became a hot place to marry.

There are no good arguments agaisnt Gay marriage, they're just fighting tooth and nail for the power they are slowly losing.

It's not just that, it's none of your business.

And by the way, I think beer is gross. I can't drink it without coming close to vommiting, so does that mean that beer drinkers shouldn't marry? I think so.

[RedSkunk]

I don't quite see how beer drinking correlates with gay marriage.

If you can't understand the simple satire, I don't think you should be discussing this complex issue. If I were homosexual, I sure wouldn't want a less than intelligent idividual discussing how I should live my life.

[Camarohusky]

Ok, Ok. I'll explain what I meant without being a dick now...

You think homosexuality is gross, and thsu they should not be able to marry.

I say beer is gross, and along your reasoning because beer is gross, beer drinkers shoudl not be able to marry.

See now?

How ironic.

Do I REALLY want to jump in this one... there's nothing else to discuss, just look at the million billion threads and responses.

I never said homosexuality is gross. I said gay marriage is gross.

well, tell us why it's gross, goddammit. or just sit there and keep saying things about it without even referencing the topic, that's good too.

Ok then just give us a little hint of why it is gross. I seriously want to know why people think it's gross.

Well the fact that the title of marriage was created for a male and female is why its wrong. I do understand that gay marriage was created to give rights that are given to married couples. I say give the rights to people who want to sign up for it they dont have to call it marriage. Im all for humane rights but you dont have to give the title of marriage away. Anyways its all about san francisco driving more revenue as well as keeping a gov in office and in the history books :P

[Camarohusky]

The claim that marriage was meant to be between a man and a woman seems very spurious to me... But as of right now there is nothing I can say to refute it... with the exception that I think marriage is just a government title nowadays and that all people willing to honor it should be allowed to recieve it.

Care to give evidence that it was? Marriage has been around for nearly the entirety of human history in some shape or form, and gender hasn't always played a role.

So basically, you really are apathetic about the issue as long as a definition of a word is left the same. How shallow.

Fine. Instead of gay marriage, we'll call it "Miscellaneous Haberdashery." Even though gays would still have all the rights that "married" couples do, and act as if they are in a "married" relationship, we'll call it by "Miscellaneous Haberdashery" so you no longer have to worry about the issue trampling on your own personal defintion.

Ha, ha! Miscellaneous Haberdashery... I wouldn't care if that's what's its called if it's all the same. We Americans so love to use euphemisms such as "annexation" instead of "theft" or "abuse" instead of "torture" and etc...

[red-xiii-beast]

there is absolutely nothing wrong with gay marriage...

the bible forbids it and the gov't is trying to forbid it but it's really none of there business.

why should the gov't need to give u a marriage license at all?

Thank you, now I understand.

its not that. its the fact that the bible forbids it and that the all powerful god says its bad. and the non-religous people that dislike it will say its disgusting... which i agree with.

but there is nothing wrong with other people doing it, but personally i wouldn't.
