Hey all! Just wondering throughout these forums what peoples thoughts are on this issue. I am gay, and although I support equal rights (including equal everything but the word marriage) I don't neccesarily get why the word is so important. I understand that some people believe since the word is already there, why cant they just use it themselves....and that makes sense to me in a way...but Rome also wasn't built in a day....if you get the rights what is the difference...thoughts?
Any couple should be able to get married. Its that simple to me I am married, and for me it was a combination of course of the meaning behind the ceremony, the blessing etc, but also the legal aspect and being joined in material and worldly things too, and everyone deserves to choose this if they want it. Not everyone understands marriage but everyone should have the right to choose it
I want to pick the option of "i don't care". I mean sure we should let anybody marry who they want but i'm not a part of congress.
I simply have never heard a valid argument against gay marriage. I've heard..."it's just wrong", or, "I don't like it", and other nonsense but no one has ever given me any reason to be against it. It has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt that most gays are born, not made. Laws are in place to protect people from harm - and if two men or two women choose to marry, it does me (or you) no harm! So, like most forms of discrimination, it will eventually become legal. Then, 50 years from now our kids will look back and think we were a foolish, backward society to have waited so long to legalize something that does no harm to anyone.
I have nothing against gay marriage at all, but even since my ex broke up with me (cause he was cheating with a guy) I have a bit of resentment towards the gay community. I feel so bad about this and I wish I didn't feel this way. I'm sure it will go away in a bit. I've just started feeling a bit uncomfortable around gay/lesbian people too. I'll never be a gay bashing person, I think that is just wrong. I just feel angry right now, but I approve of it. I hope this feeling of resentment and anger goes away. I know it is not the gay communities fault and don't blame them. Sigh hopefully I'll be relieved from these feeling soon.
Hey sophieclair! The breakup sucks, but I am glad that even though you have some resentment, that you aren't holding it against everybody - and it is good to hear that - had you been another person, we may have had a crusade to lock the gays up forever!!! Cheers
Yeah I mean the one guy that actually good advice and is helping me move on is gay. I have many friends that are, I just find that I feel a little ackward around them. I never had this problem before, I mean its just weird. I really have nothing against gay people, I just don't want to say something to hurt their feelings. I always find that I want to ask them about their sexual life, even with my ex. I knew he had been with a guy before, I just didn't really understand it. I don't think I ever will, love is love and people can't help who they love. Tiffany
everyone should be allowed to marry whomever they choose. i wish the government would stay out of our personal lives
