Title: Homosexual Marriage
Post by: Lavenchie on May 21, 2012, 01:24:26 PM
There's all this shit going around and i'm not sure if it's still the top of the news or not, so I was wondering what's your guy's opinion gay marriage.

For or against?

Don't really give a fuck. If they're happy together - if they fucking love eachother - and they want to marry eachother -- let them do it.

Depends on how you define Marriage. If you mean in the religious sort shown by the people in Devies post, then i am against it. Marriage was meant to be the holy matrimony between two people (man and woman) gay marriage would contradict this.
Now don't get me wrong, if you mean marriage as in the binding of two people until death or however (as in non-religious) then I would support them 100%. I just personally don't see the point in changing the term 'Civil Partnership' Just to 'Marriage' Just for the sake of it, when really its just a word, the commitments are exactly the same.

But marriage technically has nothing to do with religion. Marriage is a social union or legal contract between people that creates kinship.

I may not necessarily believe it is the right thing, but I respect the person for their choice and wish them the best no matter what. They have every right to get married and be happy and they shouldn't have anyone tell them otherwise. There are some gay people out there that have better relationships then a lot of straight people.

They act like they're straight because they don't want the ridicule that comes with being gay. Those that are openly gay just don't give a fuck or have never been bullied about it before.

Anyways, here is a little something on facebook that I found not too long ago. Read and opinions would be appreciated.

Shit thrown out there about the bible this or bible that.. especially on a social media platform like facebook usually has no basis.

People hear that shit is in bible.. don't read and understand the pages of context before and start to reinvent what the bible is actually saying.

Then they throw verse numbers at you like its magically going to make a good argument for them.

Every single one of those comments using the bible as a reference are barely scratching a partial connection to one of the many interpretations of the bible.

That is purely people finding something to fight over like they yearn to throw pig shit back and forth at each other like it accomplishes a meaningful understanding of the topic.

Anyway, my personal views excluded I think that legally marriage in the united states is a contract that grants status, which can have work, financial, and educational benefits.

So.. not sure how they should regulate this.. maybe rework the system they have in place.

Although biblically, gay sex and sex outside of straight marriage in general are wrong, it's nobody's right to infringe on what other people can do with themselves. I'm not going to either actively support or oppose it.

While I do understand that gayness in religion is wrong, I do not understand why does gay people want to get married in church. I'm not really that old to know (or that willing to google it...) but you don't need to have wedding in church, you can just register you and your partner as married.
I know that gay people can be religious or not, but you don't need to be part of a religion to embrace God or what ever your religion might be like. Think for yourselves. All of the religions are made up by people, so why shouldn't the other people who are in this religion not effect it? God never will say what is wrong. If you make somebody unhappy because their interest in sex is different, it's sad. But humans are stupid. People won't just change their religion. So why not be the smarter one and actually think for yourselves.

Conclusion (TL,DR): Gay people don't need to get married in church, you can still be religious even though you are gay and not 'in' church.

Why 'should' it be? I don't see in the definition of marriage that it is strictly 'Man and woman'. Just human and human.

I don't even want to talk about what would happen if people who would be in a homosexual marriage would adopt a child. It just cannot be that way.
The child would be adopted by a loving, yet gay, family. There's millions of children wanting a loving family and home just rotting away at orphanages. Just because they are gay doesn't mean they're sick in the head.

adoption is something thats taken seriously. A couple cannot just go in the store and pick out a baby like its the animal humane society. You have to be a certain age to adopt, have a certain income, and have a stable background and of course, a stable home. I assure you that the adoption agency does not just give out children to anyone. My point is; they make sure its an actual loving home for the child. Regardless if it were a two gay men.

The whole thing about "the child has to have a mother/father figure"? Bullshit, there's plenty of children out there who's fathers abandoned them and their mothers when they found out she was knocked up. I know someone who's mother died at a young age and grew up without one up and he turns out just fine. I know a girl who was raped a child by her step father because her mother was too drugged up to know.

I've seen children get made fun of because "their mom is a crack whore" or they're a "bastard" or "HAHA YOUR DAD LEFT YOU" or "YOUR DAD BEATS YOU" or "your MOM IS DEAD or "you have an alcoholic father"

It bugs me when someone has a one night stand - knocks up the girl - and the girl ends up doing drugs - etc. Having a hard life, making the child suffer through this shit growing up - meanwhile, gay couples sit in the corner and cry about "not being able to" have a child of their own.

I mean if its morally wrong for gays to get married.. my opinion is that it is morally wrong to get a divorce once you're married..

I can argue with this!

Let me just pull out a book written by who-knows and pretend to know exactly what is right.

Even though I have no evidence, the imaginary friend says it is wrong, so it must be wrong!

Well, in all likelyhood only one type of religious belief is correct (maybe less). That makes all the rest bullshit. Therefore, most religious beliefs are bullshit.

The way I see it - It's not affecting my life, so why the hell should I care? It's also been shown that homosexual parents are more beneficial to children than heterosexual parents. For one, they adopt kids from orphanages. But that's a whole other story.

I understand people see it as "unnatural" and "disgusting", but really, it's not like this is new. It's been practiced since recorded history. Big woop.

What really annoys me are those extremists who believe gays and lesbians are the spawn of Satan and that they should die in a fire. That's just... It amazes how religious people can be so hateful like that. But that's why I'm not very religious.

Expect that murder and cannibalism is taking away life from a person to potentially benefit (its still wrong unless they're trying to kill you) another, or just that they're sick in the head.  Gay rights don't take rights away from anyone.

as a matter of fact you where right, the early vikings had a set of laws that where upheld by a counsel of elders, among them was that homosexuality was punishable by death, (oddly it was the only thing that merited death for them, usualy the worst thing possible was just exile)
writings on egyptian depicting homosexuality and bestiality as wrong appeared in temples and tombs.

I can argue with this!

Let me just pull out a book written by who-knows and pretend to know exactly what is right.

Even though I have no evidence, the imaginary friend says it is wrong, so it must be wrong!
so fanni i loled xDDD


adoption is something thats taken seriously. A couple cannot just go in the store and pick out a baby like its the animal humane society. You have to be a certain age to adopt, have a certain income, and have a stable background and of course, a stable home. I assure you that the adoption agency does not just give out children to anyone. My point is; they make sure its an actual loving home for the child. Regardless if it were a two gay men.

The whole thing about "the child has to have a mother/father figure"? Bullshit, there's plenty of children out there who's fathers abandoned them and their mothers when they found out she was knocked up. I know someone who's mother died at a young age and grew up without one up and he turns out just fine. I know a girl who was raped a child by her step father because her mother was too drugged up to know.
I don't think that it is necessary to have a mother and a father either and I understand that adoption is a serious thing but what I'm afraid of is that the kid that would get adopted by a homosexual family would as well become a homosexual while it isn't necessarily a bad thing but there is absolutely no need to increase the number of homosexuals. Also it is more then likely that that kid would get bullied at school because of his parents.

This is what I personally think so don't try to put your thoughts in my head because I'm not doing this to any of you, I just simply stated my opinion and now it seems I have to "defend" myself because not all of you are tolerant enough.

I was just waiting for this point to be brought up. I know some people argue that the child's life won't be the same and can't be raised the same etc, not necessarily that the parents aren't capable of raising them right... but yea. Kids will always bully each other. And if kids being bullied for having gay parents becomes an issue, then enforce stricter laws basically. Of course they're kids so there's not much that can be done, but if they're causing serious issues, then I would say something should be done to them for sure. Even if they're young. But any ways... them being bullied isn't an entirely terrible thing any ways. Yes, it sucks to have to go through that, but generally it also teaches them a lot about life, morals, values, etc. So it could actually aid them long-term. Yes it's a weird argument to make, but there's basically no solid solution to the problem, so you might as well make the best of it.

I'm really questioning your argument now. Do you really think that just because someone's parents are gay, their children will also be gay? Then why am I gay if my parents are straight?

Well yeah, but it's more likely that a kid will get bullied at school if he plays video games, and look what we do. It's not their fault, it's the other children's parents fault for bring up a bigot. It's kinda like being bullied because your race or height. You can't control it.

This made me feel better in a way. I was bullied a shit ton when I was growing up. But yeah you're right - parents raise ignorant little twats..
Proudlys brother is an example. He's a nice kid but he's mostly and definitely convinced that there are only TWO languages in the world that exists; English and Spanish.
The place we live in is pretty much the deep south of the south where people are VERY ignorant and we need MORE non-ignorant children. And with this I promise to raise my kids as such.

I mean a kid from my 8th grade spanish class yelled out
 "i dont wanna speak mexican! this country here is america! EVERYBODY SHOULD SPEAK AMERICAN"
to white kids here, every race that has spanish origin is "mexican" and every asian is either "chinese or japanese".

I'm not just talking about the white kids only either. Black people can also be very very ignorant. Hell the majority of my bullies as a kid were black guys and girls, and a couple of really trashy white kids.

Either way, it saddens me that there are alot of people who are this ignorant. If you were gay - you would be beat up - only because its the south. Then again, the gay kids back in school had an army. An army of white girls and hispanic girls and black girls - no guy would dare mess with. They still spoke badly of him though.

because marriage is between a man and a woman and between two men is weird, and not the norm. i mean, how could you have a baby? every animal in the world needs a male and female to mate and those that happen to be gay dont live on to pass their genes, so why should people be different?

There are more than 100 species of animals show homosexual behavior. It's a shame that the most advanced one is the only one discriminating against it.

Also, adoption.

No, I don't have anything against bronies really. I don't understand why people would possibly enjoy the show so much, and want to tell everyone about it, but it's not my place to judge. Or care. Same with homosexuality and marriage. IMO, as long as it's two people marrying, nothing else should matter. And... marriage isn't about having a baby. AT ALL. MANY people marry without having a baby, have a baby then marry, or even have a baby and never marry.
And traditions change. Traditionally, a father would never let you possibly watch a show like My Little Pony. You'd get beat to hell. Be glad they do change.

He isn't saying it is, he is saying that he has not right to call anything "weird" or "not normal" because he does something that is equally weird and abnormal. He pretty much contradicts himself making whatever point he was trying to make, invalid.
No, what I said was that saying you can't do something JUST BECAUSE it is not normal, since it's not normal to watch MLP within male gender roles, for example.

Also, normal = follows the norm (Social norms are described by sociologists as being laws that govern society’s behaviors)
common = there's much of it

Homosexuality and other non-straight sexualities are still abnormal. They're not part of what societies deem their "culture". Therefore yes, gays are weird. But not uncommon. Not at all.

In a sense, Nothing CAN be normal, in one prespective or another whatever it is can seem weird.

For example; Some people like football and think people are weird for not liking it,
Some people can't stand football and think people are weird FOR liking it

So in a way normal is impossible to achieve makings something legal or not because it's "Weird" isn't right, we might as well outlaw eating meat because vegetarians think it's weird and hate when people eat meat making it abnormal for them.

My phys ed teacher once told me there's no average size of dick.
Bitch, there is. You measure a lot of dick, divide it by the amount of dick you measure, multiply by 100 and bam. You've got an average.
What I'm saying is being normal isn't a myth lol.

You have to understand there's threshold between 'different' and 'weird.' Sure if you like football in Canada thats not too odd, but when you start littering your walls with pony then it becomes weird

we arent weird, we're just like any other dedicated fanbase. they can be obessed at times too, but no one ever harrasses them about it and calls them out on being "weird" and not "part of the norm"

love and tolerate, that's what everyone should be doing

Moving back ontopic, I would like to shift focus away from the "strangeness" of it and the religious aspects and towards government itself.

America is based of personal liberty, the government has no place to regulate a person's marriage.

honestly i find the thought of homosexual intercourse disgusting, but as long as its not hurting anyone or is violating any law or constitutional amendment, then I don't see any problem with gay marriage.

Never seen two male cats getting it on, so it certainly isn't natural. That said I think as everybody's minds are different (physque, confidence, upbringing, religion, optimism/pessimism) and certain types of people have more of a chance of having feelings towards those of the same sex.

Haha, no. It's like saying "I have never seen two guys having sex, therefore gays don't exist."

So if homosexuality was illegal, you'd want it to stay that way?

but it cant, it would be overturned by the supreme court. Because homosexuality is a way of life and exercising ones beliefs, so that is protected under the bill of rights. "freedom of speech" ,"freedom of religion" and "right to privacy within ones home" but the federal government can't ban or make legal gay marriage for all 50 states, all 50 have to agree for such things to happen, and neither of the states can all agree on something, unless of course its invaded Iraq and Afghanistan.

I'm fairly certain that it was a federal decision to go to war.

Well yes it was technically federal, because it was the executive branch that proposed the bill and congress, house of representatives, and governors (which represent the states in DC) all agreed to mobilize troops against Sadam Husein to take out "proposed WMD sites" and to enter Afghanistan to hunt down Bin Laden (later found out that he was long gone before we even landed). Though no real  Declaration of war was signed it was all agreed upon by the folks in DC.....................................................................but anyways back to the topic.

Legally, being a homosexual cant be banned as it a direct violation of the bill of rights. the controversity is over marriage because it isnt clearly outlined in the constitution(because marriage was a local level thing rather than federal or state level). That is why both sides are trying to make amendments to the constitution stating " marriage is between one man and one woman, or " marriage is between two humans". Though personally I see no need, because I think when it says " the right to privacy in ones home", I think that covers who your sleeping with an who is your spouse, so one could make the claim that gay marriage is legal under the bill of rights.

Actually, there have been many instances of homosexuality in nature.
