Just like as if Jackass ![]() Age: - Gender: - Posts: 1887 | It's good that they can now have the same contract rights that marriage brings. In my opinion they should be able to adopt kiddos as well. It wouldn't be bad for the child, if they've been raised the way that they have parents that are both same gender. It wouldn't be odd. The situation can never be even or normal if it doesn't start sometime. |
Snow White Geek ![]() Age: - Gender: - Posts: 149 | My country was actually one of the first to legalise same sex marriages and I must say I'm rather proud of that. I don't see a problem with it at all. If 2 people love each other and want to get married, then they should be able to do just that. It's nonsense to say that people can't get married when they happen to be of the same sex. I don't think gay couples can adopt children yet here, but I think they should totally be allowed to. They should be judged on the same criteria as heterosexual couples who want to adopt a child: if they can provide for the child and if they will treat it correctly, why take away the right of having children from them? It's not because a child's parents are of the same sex, that they can't love and take care of a child. That's just close-minded bullshit if you ask me. |

it's hardcore honey. Idiot ![]() Age: - Gender: - Posts: 778 | Of course, they should be able to adopt children. It doesn't make them worse as parents just because they are homosexual... oh, it pisses me off when people say otherwise >_< |
Matt Smith Admin ![]() Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 31134 ![]() ![]() | Something Interesting that happened to me today. I was in RE and a boy stood up and asked the teacher (a hardline catholic) what her views on same sex marriages were. To this she replied "Its not a marriage, its a civil partenership.". Every time he tried reasoning with her she replied "Its not a marriage". Even though these new laws allow same sex partnerships, do you ever think they will be viewed on a par with marriages? I do, but it seems we will have a long way to go in convincing others. |

Lucifers Angel King For A Couple Of Days ![]() Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 4751 | Children will also become a fashion item for many homosexuals, and i think that our goverment has a job, no right to protect these children. |
Nine_Inch_Nails Falling In Love With The Board ![]() Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 8334 | tre_cool_is_god: Children also seem to be a fashion item for chavs... You don't see the government doing anything about that though do you? |
Matt Smith Admin ![]() Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 31134 ![]() ![]() | I'm Curious, why do you think children will become fashion items for homosexuals in particular? Why is this any more likely to happen to them than a heterosexual couple? |

NeoSteph Basket Case ![]() Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 16494 ![]() ![]() | Bloodraine: I posted on page one how it is not related to a marriage. A civil partnership allows two people of the same sex to share assets and have certain regulations against the inheritance tax, however even though it is similar to a marriage certificate it is different, there is no divorce, and follows the same course as any contract. They still wouldn't be able to marry in church. |
Nine_Inch_Nails Falling In Love With The Board ![]() Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 8334 | NeoSteph: Sorry if I misunderstood, but they're not allowed to get divored? Seriously! Gah! And are they still not allowed to get married in Church? Sorry, had a looong day today! Parent's Evening and all that ![]() |
Matt Smith Admin ![]() Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 31134 ![]() ![]() | I know. I was asking whether they will ever be viewed on a par with marriages? Or rather as a second rate substitue. It didnt seem worth making a thread over. |
NeoSteph Basket Case ![]() Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 16494 ![]() ![]() | Nine_Inch_Nails: No church wedding and no divorce, A civil partnership is a contract so onviously there will be agreements within the contract, they can break a contract but they would have to go to a civil court instead of divorce proceddings. |
NeoSteph Basket Case ![]() Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 16494 ![]() ![]() | Bloodraine: It reminds me of the emancipation of women, Men over the age of 18 were given the vote and the vote was given to women over the age of 30, because it was thought if they were 30 they could be easily controlled by their husbands. Giving gays the civil partnership right is like givng an inch to spare giving them a mile. It's not a marriage so they will still be seen as second class citizens. |
Hotel New Archaic Idiot ![]() Age: - Gender: - Posts: 789 | why do people thing a same-sex marriage is not good for a kid to grow up in? All I know is some people reckon that means the kid'll turn out gay. Yeah. That's why hetero couples only ever produce straight kids. Homosexuals should be able to marry and adopt as they wish. You think a gay marriage is not good for a kid? What about being adopted by a known child molester? That's allowed. |
Lucifers Angel King For A Couple Of Days ![]() Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 4751 | Nine_Inch_Nails: no but i wish they would. |
Poison Fish Idiot ![]() Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 806 | i dont see why same sex marriages cant be treated the same as heterosexual marriages. i mean, yeah i understand why they cant get married in a church... but why not get the same privilages and stuff. because what it really is is dicriminating against homosexuals... which is from upon in most societys. |
