I don't talk about it because I don't know about it, as I'm American.
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.
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...
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.
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.

Actually, belief is that God inspired the Bible.
And just because two people love eachother, doesn't make them suitable parents. That's why adoption procedure is so strict.

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.

I agree completely. You shouldn't give a couple a kid because they're gay.
You need to make sure their home is a suitable environment.
Basically, will the kid be all right if it grows up here?

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.

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.

* the solution to all your problems regarding gay marriage. happy now?
Actually, no. Britain and the church are not the same things. Quakers here have been having same-sex marriages for almost two decades. The Methodist Church here also accept them. There is some kind of blessing in the C of E church also, but not really anything official yet.
Maybe Britian itself...doesn't allow gay marriage, I don't know...Maybe that isn't the same as our churches...
But I'm pretty sure we actually do allow it.
Bush sucks!! that's my reply....if you don't get it..I'm sorry...here's my question to him.....why don't they have the same rights as heteros they're people too......what the hell....I'm just so confused on how some people think.....is it a rule that a man has to marry a woman.....and please don't bring up the mf bible!!

if people of the same sex wish to get married i dont see any harm in it.it should be up to them and i dont think they or anyone wants to see protestors outside where they are getting married...its the people who are against it that disgust me 'cause they go to such lengths to try to provent same sex marrages.......they have no business of their own so they nosey into others' business.

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

people are so quick to condem BUSH!! he is not the only one against gay marrage.
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?

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)

Three things.
Lesbian couples have the lowest rate of violence in a relationship, straight couples are second, and gay male couples have the most violence in a relationship.
Secondly, not all branches of the military are supposed to be soldiers.
Thirdly, are you that against gay parents or did you just want to prove a point?
i dont know if ive said this, i might have done a lot of pages back, but im all for same sex marriages but i dont think they should be allowed to adopt because of the torment the child would face, we all know how cruel school life can be for an average kid, it would be hell for someone with gay parents. Well it would be if they went to any schools near where i live.

Actually, I don't think it would be any worse.
In all honesty, I've spent my entire time at school as an outsider, and trust me, it isn't too bad
Once those kids grow up, they'll learn that it was better to have [gay] parents who loved them than not being teased and growing up in a children's home. Anyway, adoption is not the only way lesbians can have kids, so unless you're suggesting that;
a) gay people should never be allowed children
b) only gay women should be allowed children
both of which sound hideously non-pc, there are other ways in which children of gay parents can suffer 'hell', besides adoption.

hmm, i suppose it would be different for each adoption case really, some gays would probably make good parents others probably wouldnt, but from the childs point of view they could end up feeling different from the other kids.
