Personally, I don't like gays but I still think they have to have rights and their still people just like us.
Are you okay with Gay Marriage?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
"Personally, I don't like gays but I still think they have to have rights and their still people just like us."What?
I don't ever want to be invited to a gay wedding, because I don't ever want to see two guys kiss, you know, "you may know kiss the groom". I saw some guys kiss when I was on the train yesterday, and some fat girl was giggling and staring, and the two things combined were just icky. So, in order for this to happen, I either have to be really mean to gays, or not want them to marry so I can't be invited to their weddings. I do have some gay friends, so the mean option is eliminated.
Ok, enough with that. I don't like homosexuality, I think it is disgusting, and I'd rather never hear about it again. But they are here, they are queer, and we need to get used to it. I say America does it on the state by state basis as is already happening. At the very least, let them visit their partner in the hospital and give them survivalship rights already. Like I said, it is totally grody, but it's not as if not allowing them to marry will un-gay them. So, whatever.
I apologise for being in a very un-serious mood right now.

Saying let the state decide is a total cop out, because that wasn't the question. The question was are you ok with gays being married. And I am.

Absolutely, to say homosexuals can't get married would be like saying Black people can't marry or something like that. People have to understand that homosexuality IS natural and its something that needs to be accepted or we will never advance as a society. Seriously most people would look at someone with a different sex,religion, and/or race and wouldn't dare say any bad racial, religious, or sexist remarks becuase its "wrong to hate people who are different" yet they have no problem turning around and calling someone a fagot. Every generation we force groups to fight for rights they should already have. The sad thing is homosexual hate and ignorance is being said by people younger than me (I'm 15), its really sicking.

Gay or not people have a right to be happy and other people should at the very least respect that. So if it makes two men or women happy to go through some form of civil partnership or marriage then sure, i'm totally ok with that. Seeing two guys kiss doesn't make me feel sick or make me angry i just guess its like seeing two fat people or ugly people do the same thing, sure i'd rather not see it but man i'm not gonna lose sleep over it either as i can soon forget it.
So sure i'm all for gay marriage as we live in the 21st century, homosexuality has been around since forever so its about time we began to accept it really.
Yes they should have all the rights that heterosexual couples have. Who is the government to decide which love is right and which is wrong?

Alchohol is a much more dangerous drug than marijuana, yet it is legal anyway. Marijuana also has legitimate medicinal purposes, I'm in favor of its legalization (although I've never smoked it.)
"HandsomeDead said:Obviously neither are good, but alcohol has been doing the rounds for centuries and is now a big business, same with tobacco, so as damaging as they are, big business means they will always be around. I'd say that legalisation would be a good idea if it could be regulated for medicinal use only, but seeing how the drug market is, a legalisation will probably make everything worse."Jayge said:"BiggerBomb said:Marijuana can have an effect on other people as well as a detrimental effect on the smokers themselves though, so I can understand that still being a problem, but I agree with everything else.""MB said:So very true."HandsomeDead said:"To people who say homosexuality is disgusting: You're including lesbians in that, right?"Not if both of them are hot."

Thanks for downvoting my post, guys =(

Alcohol is not bad. It is only bad when used irresponsibly. This is the same as everything, driving isn't bad, speeding is bad.
The fact of the matter is that alchohol, if abused, is far and away a more dangerous drug than marijuana. On top of that it is highly regarded as an excellent pain killer and should we legalize it, there would be a sudden influx of revenue to an already thriving (albeit underground) industry. This could actually be a great benefit for the United States' economy as well as your own.

I am okay with it and so should civilized society. The fact that this is still even a question is fucking ridiculous.
I have no problem with gay people, i support gay marriage, they have every right to be with the person they love.
Marriage must be between a man and a woman. It says so in this book I read that may or may not be true. I mean seriously, are you going to try and tell me that a marriage between two gay people who love each-other is somehow more sacred than Britney and K-Fed's wedding? Seriously? Come on, grow some sense.
And by the way, the concept of marriage is specifically exclusive to the Christian religion. Anyone who says otherwise is a sinner and will receive their time in hell.
I was watching a documentary a few weeks ago called Escape to Canada. The main topics of the documentary were the summer of pot (the time when pot laws in Canada were caught in limbo and marijuana was temporarily legal on a technicality) and gay marriage in Canada.
The attorney who represented the Halpern's in the case that won gay's the right to be married, said "Anyone who is against gay marriage should go to a wedding and see their happy faces and tell me that they shouldn't be together." (or something to that effect)
Personally I don't see why anyone wants to be married. 50% of marriages end in divorce and 95% of marriages end in heart-ache and resentment for one another. I think people should stay together for as long as they can stand one another and then make a clean break before they end up hurting one another. The only reason marriage exists is because it is the cornerstone of economics. There is no better employee than one who is dead inside. No employer wants an individual with hopes and dreams. They want a soul crushed worker that they can rely on to stay in the same dead end job for life. Whats the best soul crusher and dream destroyer? A family. If you have a wife and kids that depend on you, you can't take a big risk like quitting your job and opening a restaurant like you always dreamed of. You have responsibilities. Its a safer bet to stay at your shitty, but well paying job for the good of your family.
Marriage is not about love, or religion, or even about a healthy home for a child to grow up in. It's about money.
Same thing with caffeine, it is a drug that makes everything go faster, people work faster, making companies more efficient, thus making society more efficient, and government happy. =)
Weed makes people mellow out, they slow down, work at a relaxed pace. That makes companies less efficient, thus making society less efficient, and the government sad. =(
That is why weed is illegal. That is why marriage is meaningless. And that is why everyone should just do whatever the fuck makes them happy. (Including weed and weddings.)

Get over yourself. Just because you deem homosexuality "disgusting" does not entitle you to subject us to your primitive perspective of others. I have a number of gay friends, and I can safely say that none are as prejudice or intolerant toward others as what I've read from you.
Your post is complete, incessant bigotry at its most foul. I'm almost entirely convinced it's seated within your religious tastes as well, which makes it all the more frightening. To think that people are so judgmental in this day and age is truly an insult to our species.
To be completely honest: Moderator or not, you--and those like you--are truly the antithesis of intelligence, and I feel no remorse by hoping any potential offspring you bring to the world are free of your views... and perhaps, as one last slight, are homosexual. Perhaps then you will learn something about humility.
Well seeing the topic title which interested me and lacking on time I skipped most the responses just to type my own little bit: I had a English class 2 semesters ago where we had to pick a side for gay marriage, either for it or against it. I was and still am a big fat neither on the subject - yet for some reason that was not good enough for my teacher. I mean look I still say this - how does gay marriage effect my normal day life? Is my day going to be worse or bad because of it? No.
I don't see why a homosexual couple's rights should be any different from a heterosexual couple's rights. If they want to get married, why shouldn't they be allowed to? I can't think of one reason against it that isn't about people's personal prejudices, and no-one is forcing them to get married to someone of the same sex, or even go to a gay wedding.
"It shouldnt be called marriage, because marriage is a religous thing and religions do not approve of gays. Just call it domestic partnership."Weddings haven't been purely religious for years. Plenty atheist heterosexual's get married, and it's called a marriage.
I don't support gay marriage but I don't condemm it.
If only people would realise being gay or straight is not a choice...
"I am ok with them marring if they want to. but i m AGAINST them adopting kids."Why? Are afraid of "the gay" rubbing off?Levio91 said:
"It shouldnt be called marriage, because marriage is a religous thing and religions do not approve of gays. Just call it domestic partnership."No, marriage in many cultures is non-religious. Theravada Buddhists who get married have a secular ceremony, but sometimes invite Bikkhus (priests) to read some scripture.
Christianity does not have any special rights over marriage, nor should they. You can't just say "oh, Christians view marriage as a religious thing" and then just assume marriage has to be religious. It's absolutely not.
"I am ok with them marring if they want to. but i m AGAINST them adopting kids."
There is a gay couple in my community, they have a son my brother's age (two years out of college.) He's straight. Can you tell me why this is a problem?

Is my day going to be worse or bad because of it? No.No one understands that, because its flawed. It shouldn't matter if your everyday life is affected, you should care about other people rather than solely yourself. Should I care that kids are starving in Africa? Should I care about this thing called the War in Iraq? How about DARFUR? You sound just like a spoiled brat.So why do I care? And don't read that as a "I'm okay with gay marriage", I absolutely do not care if they can get married or not, if something was passed here in the US to ban it all I would not care, if something was passed to allow it everywhere I would equally not care. There is no reason or motivation for me to care about something that is not my business or effects my daily life directly. I do not see how it is so hard for someone to wrap their brain around that logic at all - my old teacher who I stil consider the best English teacher I ever had does not get it at all even now."
