How hard is it to just accept people ? Gay mariage is legal where I live and to be honest I don't support it, I just don't care.

How is it that you accept people and don't support gay marriage? These two things are contradictory to me.

Im fine with it... The only thing that I dont support is homosexual couples adopting.
But that`s my opinion

You'd rather the kids live in broken foster homes than be welcomed into the home of a married couple?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, because homosexual couples will rise homosexual children in the same way heterosexual couples rises only straight children... oh wait :D
My friend was raised by her mother and grandmother, she never had any "man in her life" and she's still perfectly healthy, engaged heterosexual woman.

Sure, because heterosexual couples rises only straight children. Let's pretend that homosexual people just fall from the skyes and were not born and rised by heterosexual couples :D

I think is wrong, You shouldnt be teaching kids thats its natural, but if when they grow up realized that they are homosexual we should support them. I don't mean to offend anyone. Like I said just my opinion and that`s the name of the discussion

living in a city, using a phone, driving a car, eating processed food, guns, transplants, etc. nothing we have today is natural.
also, you can't "teach" a kid to be gay. it's can't be learn or assimilated or inducted...
Comment has been collapsed.
if they see it as normal, will probaly try to mimic his or her mothers or fathers.
I think kids shouldn´t be exposed to it.

You said you are fine with it but you are actually very much against the idea.
Oh fine, let kids be beaten up/raped/whored out and introduced to drugs in their broken homes by their biological parents. It's totally fine as long as they are nowhere near gay couples. Yes sir indeed. Don't get me started on orphans. They love the idea of having to go through life absolutely alone, bullied at every turn with no one to support them.
God forbid, if those children are adopted by gay couples who knows what will happen to them. Perish the thought. What's that? Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one? Well said!

Im fine if they want to get marry, they can do what they want as long its not afecting anyone in a negative way.
If you want to teach your kid (take in mind that kids are in a stage of learning and will mimic his or her mather or father figure) that is pretty normal, and because of that he should try it out why not?
That´s when you`re crossing the line.
Well I think it`s enough of this topic. Good night and Good luck. :)

I think that etherosexual couples should come before homosexual couples regarding adoption. Not against homosexual adoption, but I suppose that man + woman > man + man OR woman + woman > foster home

I'm anti-marriage in general. The government and law should have nothing to do with how two consenting adults express their love or how they call their union. The only thing that should matter is the civil distribution of common property, money etc. Any moral, social and religious ideas on the union of the same sex should have nothing to do with politics. Same with adoption, as long as two adults can provide a safe, financially stable environment for a child they should be allowed to do so.

I remember reading about a guy who married his PS2, and some lady that married a bridge, so I'm not sure why that was legal and this was not. Don't really care otherwise who's marrying who, not my business.

People had closed eyes....homosexuals are also here and they want happy life too and if they want to marry, then they should marry.

There's not really a logical reason it shouldn't be legal, so that's cool.
A little off topic but I knew a dude who was against it just cause he didn't want to pay more on his taxes lol.
Comment has been collapsed.
There is nothing logical about straight people marrying either.
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually, that's not quite correct. Legal protections and benefits for marriage were to ensure certain social norms (for example, having an affair with someone's wife or husband can have unique legal repercussions designed to protect family relationships) and structure and promote family systems. You can't say there's no logical incentive for marriage, especially with how many governments incentivize marriage in tax breaks and other benefits.

You are talking about laws, norms, taxes etc stuff people made up (and doesn't mean it's "right").
I am talking about if it's natural or not, natural to commit yourself in a positive case for 60-80 years to someone, while your feelings may change, the one you are married with changes. etc etc. There are so many cases in (especially in some religious cultures) which that happens, but they made the vow so they have to stick together and romantic feelings turn into acceptance or result in fights. Also 1 out of 3 marriages end up in divorce, go figure. One might not be allowed to have the ability to move on if his/her feelings change and may be punished by it by legal repercurssions or other forms? It sure shouldn't be.

I'm not so sure it's entirely illogical. "Stable" relationships are, if not naturally, a socially instilled yearning for many people, and there are a lot of people who, even given the rather depressing divorce rates and other issues with a long term marriage (and some succeed, even beyond all expectations, let's not forget) yearn for the intimacy that a relationship formalized in a social community can provide.

Our opinions on the subject are completely irrelevant.
Opinion should never enter the equation when determining the rights and liberties of your populace, at least not if you want to call yourself civilised.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's already an opinion that rights and liberties of anyone should matter though.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's a different subject, and best left to philosophers, and kept outside of the context of actually giving people rights they have lacked.
Because if you really wanted to go that way, we can fast-forward the lunacy to it's conclusion where we say "nothing matters because all of life is interpreted by chemical signals in the brain, therefore all of our living experiences are a form of illusion and unverifiable, and with no true way to discern if anybody other than ourself actually exists". :P
Or, alternately, we could just stay in scope, and stick with the realisation that mere unfounded opinion and/or the technicalities of a word that nobody owns should never deny equality under law to people. Yeah, let's go with that. ;P

Why people must agree or not on such thing...
I mean, I really don't care about the person you chose for your life. You can like tall wemen, slim, with red hair or you can like men, it's none of my business and I have no right to judge your life choices. Of course i want the same thing from others, no one has the right to judge my relation with my girlfriend, not even my parents.
We are going to die however people, at least try your best to be happy :D

On its legality? I don't really care.
On its ethics? I think there are many marriages that are not healthy for both parties involved, and while I would not count homosexual marriage as inherently harmful, I think that the way that the LGBTQ community (among others, don't get me wrong, the LGBTQ is neither the only offender nor probably even the worst) has framed relationships is harmful. Marriage isn't something for two individuals so that they can enjoy certain status and recognitions. On the other hand, many heterosexual relationships are just as harmful or worse. I think that marriage as a construct in modern American society needs an overhaul, and making it more accessible is not necessarily the solution.

I think, after giving it a lot of thought, that i simply dont give a flaming flying fuck. Everyone is free to do whatever they please with their stick/terracotta pie

We don't need the government to tell us who can or cannot be married.
Comment has been collapsed.
sex whoever/whatever you want as long as both parties are fully aware of what they are doing and consent to it

People do what they want with their lives , so long has they dont hurt or mess with another person with their decisions i'm all good :)

I never understood the downside to gay marriage. What is more fundamental than "the right to pursue happiness" than marriage?
Comment has been collapsed.
Marriage doesn't really have much to do with happiness tbh.

I do not care. Does not affect my life whatsoever. Also, not a very good topic, as these kinds of topics involving religion and politics are advised against creating here, but whatever. Lol ok!

That's true. It's also why a religious act of joining two people has no real weight legally, it's signing the papers at registrar that matters for the purpose of contract.

My opinion is indifferent. I support human freedom, of course. Also, can't wait to see the ridiculous flame wars!

If the guys want to put a ring on their fingers other the their partners ring then I say go for it.
