Surfing Waves

I find it is always fun and intresting talking about gay marriage with people.
the question is do you think it should be allowed?
always try and support what you say.

I think they should be allowed
first of all:
What do you care???
does it matter that much to you if gay people are married or not? They still do the same things.

Marriage meens alot to some people including the gay community. It also gives benefits (if one dies the other one can keep the house, etc...)

It will not change your life dramatically while it will change some others in a GOOD way.
I really dont get why people will not allow it. If they are disturbed by it they will probably not see it happen anyways.

People do not chose to be gay.
People are born that way, its not there fault. Its like if you took a person who was born with a disability and tell him he cannot marry because he is handicapped.

Are you calling being gay a handicap?!?!

Just playing dude, someone will one day pull that on you though.

I really don't care, as long as women aren't cheating their taxes by putting single mom down.

Puligamist do that though.

ya i was thinking the comparison wasnt that great but didnt find anything else.
and to clear it up for others, im not calling them handicaped in calling them different.

yes of course it should be allowed - if two people love each other and want to show that and commit to each other then why not... it shouldn't matter what sex they are. Plus it's only fair that you should have the same legal rights as same-sex married couples.

I adore this little quote: "the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return".

but maybe I'm a bit of a romantic! and i'm all loved up at the moment!

Yep i think its fine, dont see what the problem is....

Exactly my opinion!

I love that quote too, but can never remember where I heard it. I want to say maybe it was in Moulin Rouge, but I've never seen the whole thing, only little bits, so maybe not!

Me 3! I'm still grinning like a fool 24/7!!!

makes no diff to me. However i understand why people object though. Homosexuality is not natural not that it's their fault its just the way their brains are wired. But we shouldnt be politically correct about it thats just idiotic.

While we ae on the subject why is it people say you are homophobic when you object to two homosexuals getting intimate in public Bah political correctness is a disease.

The answer to that is exactly the point Thaya made above -

So by your theory, if gay people "shouldn't" be allowed to show affection in public, neither should heterosexuals?

Dont have a problem at all, as long as they are happy !

Well said!

I don't have a problem with gay anything.. Marriage, public displays of affection etc..
Like my mum says (bless her!) there's not enough love in the world anyway to be getting arsey about homos. Well, i'm sure those aren't her exact words but you get the picture...!

Ps. Thaya - you're loved up - does this mean things are going well with diet coke man??

errrrrr no... things didn't work out, but i met someone else (went on a date right after we 'split' if you can call it that!) and he's just soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lovely.

i'm spending the whole weekend at his and i can't wait

only 7hours and i'll be chilling at his with a nice bottle of wine... can't wait!

wuhey Thaya!

Stu's cooking me dinner tonight (hence the need for the last-minute leg-wax! Just in case, of course!!! )

i support gay marriage, as long as both chicks are hot.

actually i stole that of a tshirt, i couldnt give a monkeys either way, although i dont really understand why they would want to get married cos to me marriage is about religion and procreation, and as gay couples arent accepted by most religions, and cant procreate, i dont see the point.
I can see the point in terms of laws and rights and stuff, i just dunno why they need to use the word "married" and not have some other name for it.

that's the 'original' idea, but these days "marriage" is a different concept to everyone....for me it's nothing to do with religion, cos i'm not religious in the slightest bit, but marriage for me would be about standing up in front of all my friends and family and stating my committment to just one person who i love and want to spend the rest of my life with.

Just my humble opinion!

Marriage to me means loads of presents, cant remember much about my wedding, i just hung out by the bar and people kept buying me drinks !

*shudder*

My idea of marriage would be a quick mumble along the lines of 'yes, I do' on a beach somewhere with the minimum number of people necessary followed by going back into the water for a quick surf to get over the ordeal.

If a gay couple want to stand on a beach and have a quick mumble, I cant see the problem with that

LOL!

I have no problem with people of the same sex getting married, what i do object to is gay couples who adopt, have they not given up the right to have kids. These kids have come from a broken family, which is very traumatic. Then some middle class do gooder, who is most probly a lesbian hands these kids over to two guys who like to stick there cocks up each others arse

i have no problem with homosexual marraige at all - live and let live. I am not religous and dont have a a desire to have children (not yet anyway) but doesnt mean I dont want to get married. Like DBBB it would be a quick beach ceremony with as little fuss as possible so it was about the unity of 2 people that love and respect eachother and want to spend the rest of their lives together, rather than the dress and flowers and all the other rubbish that goes with it.

As for the adoption point the child may have come from a traumatic situation but sticking them with a hetrosexual couple doesnt promise a healthy home life from then on.
In some cases same sex couples may be prefered, for example, if the child had been treated badly by a female adult they may prefer not to be looked after by another female and the best solution may be for 2 men to look after them instead.
