Same-sex marriage

[ellicat]

The wife asked me what I thought of same-sex marriage.

I said I don't mind it; I've been having the same sex ever since we were married. :pinch:

Has anyone got a spare room ?

[Whiskers]

^^ ^^

[fishingnut]

I oppose it

[fisherjack1394]

I oppose it

yep meh too

[ellicat]

Easy boys. I wouldn't allow you to anyway

[Keen-as-fisho]

Just another thorn in societies rear end. It was the only thing I liked about that ranger, now shes changing her mind surprise surprise and gonna allow it (if passed). I OPPOSE it too

[Bi_polar]

I'm a Lesbian and married to a woman :-)

[Eug]

Curious as to why people oppose it?

Doesn't phase me, what other people do is their business.

[DKW83]

I agree i'm not for it

[Surfingant]

I'm a Lesbian and married to a woman :-)

What, you too??!!

[ellicat]

This is supposed to be a joke thread because the joke jumped into my head this arvo and I enjoyed it, so thought I'd share

On the real issue, I couldn't care less. I would happily accept a wedding invitation as long as I was forewarned at the ceremony when they were going to kiss so I could look away

Any showing of that public affection and petting, kissing stuff makes me wanna vomit...be it gay, hetero, or animal

He is prettry cute tho.....

That'd make your wife one too.

I bet she got a disappointing shock on your wedding night ! :woohoo:

[jared1979]

Doesnt phase me either

Lesbians make you crook?

[Jords]

Yeah not opposed to it on principle, I think they have every right to officially be together etc., but disagree on the basis that it isn't 'marriage' in the traditional sense, and should be labelled as something else (garried? ).

Then again, not a lot of marriages these days are

[ellicat]

Anything in public.

I can see this topic has sparked some interest so I'll add a poll.

[Gcarj]

Gay and Lesbian people dont choose to be that way. I hate how some people can be so negative towards what has been happening for eternity. They are a minority. Thats it. Let them be. No one forces you too be gay

[Bi_polar]

Well the only way i could tell that i was a lesbian was that i was watching these movies the other night with these girls in them.....

[Surfingant]

Hmmm garried, I like that Jords And seeing as it has gone down this path anyway, I couldn't give a stuff either way. What people do with their lives is their own business, if it ever gets forced onto me in any way then that's when it becomes my business.

Totally agree Jords. Makes the institution a man a woman have a joke.

Call it something else. use a diff name. Then they have the same rights under law.

Just leave our institution alone

[Yoodles82]

I couldn't give a stuff either, as it has no effect on me or anyone i know.

But to deprive people of a basic legal right seems wrong. I'll put it in the same historical categories as prohibiting inter-racial marriages, and disallowing the right to vote due to race.

You don't choose your race, and you don't choose your sexuality, so why deny people based on that criteria?

That's my 2 cents.

[Keen-as-fisho]

What would Chopper say

Agree with the basic legal right thing, everybody deserves the right to be legally recognised as somebody's partner/spouse etc.

What would Chopper say

This is Stephan... His name, is Stephan... Harden the .... up Stephan

What?!? You mean interacial marriage is legal? I'm off to book a flight to thailand.

Let pople do what they wan't to do. Most of the opposition to gay marriage seems to come from hardcore christian freaks.

[jeff f]

couldnt give a flying flopsy what anyone does in their own bedroom

let them have the legal rights they deserve

but then my sister's a bull dyke so im biased

Couldnt have said it better shortie, thanks

[Gary_C]

Personally don't see anything wrong with it.

Everybody should be allowed the opportunity to be miserable! :evil:

[rayke1938]

If a couple wish to make a commitment to each other they should have the right to do so.

As far as I am concerned a persons sexuality,religion,politics and race should have no bearing on the way that they are treated by society.

Cheers

[billythakid]

i dont care who marries who , what annoys me is the way the rent-a-crowd personalities come out to protest about it like they should be given special treatment and listened to immediately .

[Malcolm]

I voted what ever but if someone wants to get married then go for it.

Why hetro's think they should have it to themselves is beyond me.

[ellicat]

What about hermaphrodites ? Can they marry themselves ?

[Jords]

Why ellicat? You found yourself (as) someone special?

[Malcolm]

Hhahaha do i take me to be hahaha

Probably the best statement I have ever seen on the subject and one with which I wholeheartedly agree.

When my wife and I finally got married (after 10 years or so), we made it a point to have nothing in our vows related to religion and actually borrowed liberally from a pagan ritual. My mother (who is extremely religious) said she had never heard such honest and loving vows. I personally do not view marriage as part of my religion; to me, it is the commitment to and recognition of the person with whom you will spend the rest of your life.

It is odd though, nobody ever claims that married atheists are attacking the "institution of marriage" when they get married, but if two people of the same sex do so, it is the end of the world.

I just don't get it.... :dry:

[Eug]

marriage is the leading cause of divorce anyway

DOnt get it. Me either obviously your married as well.

[billythakid]

why get married anyhow , i am gonna cut out the middleman i think and just find some girl i hate and buy her a house

[Whiskers]

Yep same, I think if it's not hurting anyone in anyway then who cares?

To many people concern themselves in things that don't have anything to do with them.

My only concern is how much money our government thinks they can scrape out of this BS.
