Same sex marriages!

nimrodrockstar:

god didn't handwrite the bible and neither did jesus so you nobody has any idea what they were thinking[i still think the bible was made up by some random people who just wanted to change the world and succeded.]

idk

i really dont want to argue

its like saying "omg ur white i hate you"
like racist for orientations

i still think its funneh that people are worrying so much about taking away rights of homosexuals that we're not paying attention to anything else in the world...

But marriage is not a strictly religious ceremony and religions need to keep their mouth out of legality and the government.

Here, it is.
If you're married in Church its a marriage.
If you're married at the registry office its a civil union, but people call them marriages anyway, because we're too old fashioned. The only difference is, gay people can get 'married' only at the registry office, along with all other couples who have a non-christian service.

Our state religion is the Church of England. Gay couples and straight ones have the same legal, moral and social rights. It coexists with harmony.

I don't see a flaw at all in the British system, but whenever I bring it up, it gets ignored. Like we're some little island in the north sea who drink inordinate amounts of tea and cucumber sandwiches and whatnot and are totally insignificant to the rest of the world.

Yeah....I know the Bible wasn't written by God o_0 Thats why I said it was God inspired and told the story of Jesus' life n stuff. We weren't arguing and people still worry about ALOT of other things not just homosexual rights.

nimrodrockstar:

everyone knows that...but still.

The people who wrote it didn't know what god and/or jesus were thinking. So you don't know if its true or not.

from what i know from church and confirmation class is that god and jesus love everyone no matter who they are, not what they look like or what their love life is like. if two people are in love, they should get married and have/adopt kids. everyone has that right. this is like segregation of the 21st century.

Gay marriage is all well and fine, but if we're going into adoption...I think gay parents should be looked at the way one looks at a het couple. Do they do drugs? Are they rude? do they show signs of violence, watch porn, kill people, throw stuff at neighbors, have a dead dog in the closet, etc.

Basically, make sure they're not psycho freaks and all will be well.

Sheepo@_@:

This reminds of an episode on Queer as Folk [bear with me people] Brian[homosexual] and Lindsey [lesbian], well Brian lent his sperm to Lindsey and Melanie to have a baby right? and he grows up yadayada, and when they try and get him into a good school they "POSE" as a hetero couple so that their baby boy can be accepted to the high honors school. So when they recieve a letter if their kid is choosen or not, the letter says "Sorry, we decided to be 'open' this year. You were great but we gave it to a homosexual couples child." Slap in the face. So always be yourself no matter what. No matter what anyone says or thinks.

Well that strikes me as unfair, because I'm not American, yet I still read articles about American gay marriage, and read what Americans in this thread write. It doesn't matter that what I have to say isn't strictly American knowledge.

I'm simply trying to show you that there is a system for Gay Marriage here that works, and works well, and you [as a country] would do well to follow British example. In my honest opinion. Since your courts seem to be all over the place, one state deciding this, one state outlawing that, one state making this legal, and one state making that legal. Perhaps the ideal solution to all your problems is seperated by the atlantic ocean.

Its hard, of course, to take note of one small country, when you're the most important country in the world. I just think America have a lot to learn from us, that's all.

The solution to all our problems? Britain isn't exactly perfect.
And Britain doesn't have a system for gay marriage because they don't allow it, they have civil unions. I do think its a good system but it isn't the same as allowing gay marriage. On other issues I think its good that different states are allowed to have different laws; however not on the issue of gay marriage. The Supreme Court needs to make a ruling so that civil unions can include national benifits, and not just what the state has to offer.

I agree that Bush sucks, but you do realize he's not the only one in America banning gay marriage?

yes, I do realize that, I guess it's just the fact that he's such a public figure and trying to tell a whole country that it's wrong, that's why i tend to hate on him just a little...hell....I didn't vote for him

Gay marriages are probably alot safer than straight ones, I mean gays tend to be very calm people and there would be alot less violence. Sure the Bible states that marriage is the joining of a male and a female but fuck we ain't in the 1800's no more its 2000's and now people are adapting to new things. Answer this question.. Would you rather hand a child to a gay couple, or let George Bush send a shitload of people to war? Whos more likely to get hurt?

oh what a pile of crap!!

gay couples and staright couples can both be violent and nasty, and to answer your question because i belive the war in Iraq qas right and the best thing to do, i would rather send "soldiers" over to iraq (its what they are paid to do)
