So Im happy they made same sex marriages constitutional in the state next to me which all I have to do is drive over a bridge and Im there It makes me happy that people got sense to just stop fighting it we have more important issues to deal with so I might be getting married
Letting out the noise inside of me
Every window pane is shattering
Cutting up my words before I speak
This is how it feels to not believe
We've had it for a couple of years here in the UK. I wish people would take their heads out of whatever hole they've got them stuck in and realise that there are more important things to worry about than people in same-sex relationships making a commitment to each other
Leave the shade and step out into the glare.
Peace of mind awaits you there.
Don't be afraid to stand your ground.
Don't be ashamed of who you are.

I've come to the conclusion that you cant help falling in love with the people you do, so you just gotta do what makes you happy. It's good people can celebrate their love for each other.

I can't help but feel a degree of bias on these threads.
i agree to a certain extent . but . i used to be really homophobic .i am ashamed of the degree i was homophobic . i didnt understand why and thought it was wrong . some how over the past few years i have got over that sillyness of it and i now welcome same sex couples if people are happy let them get on with it . :)if they are in love whats the difference. man&women, women&women, man&man so what :)
I'm all for same sex couples. I'm fine with that, and not in the slightest bit homophobic. However, marriage is often a religious thing, which brings up a whole other load of issues. I don't think same sex christian marriages should occur, simply because the religion is against it. I'm not a christian, so it's not particularly my place at all... But I just can't help but see something wrong with the idea of same sex marriages in that situation. The religion says no, so you should choose between the religion or the relationship. In much the same way, I don't approve of homosexual priests. I think that no priest should go so far against the teachings of his religion. As I say though, I'm not a Christian, so as such I have nothing against same sex marriage. If I was to start following the Christian faith, though, I'd accept the entirety of it rather than picking and choosing what teachings I find convenient and following those ones only. As such, if I believed in Jesus, I would not be accepting of homosexuality/same sex marriage. I don't believe in Jesus though, so it's all hypothetical.
And he brought me into a vast farmlands of our own midwest. And as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil. One thousand, nay a million voices full of fear. And terror possesed me then. And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! -- Not a vegetarian
The thing is...there are some same sex couples who are religious, and there are some opposite sex couples who are not...I don't think that anyone who isn't religious should get married in a place of worship. I am not religious so I wouldn't have a wedding in a place of worship, but I think that no matter what sort of relationship you are in, if the person marrying you agrees with it, then they shouldn't discriminate. I know that christianity for one teaches that homosexuality is wrong, but surely that doesn't mean that a homosexual should be prevented from worshipping their religion of choice?
I know a lot of people won't see it like that...sorry

I don't see marriage as a romantic ending to dating or a way to gain "benefits". I think marriage should be elevated again and just for having children, making a family etc. I also think men and women have different ways of relating to kids in a family that works and kids need functional fathers and mothers alike for most part. Indeed I find most kids struggles with depression, SI etc trace back to family stuff because they are extremely sensitive to psychic bonds with Mum and Dad etc. Like/like marriages make no sense to me because its pretty much a dead end. Artificial insemination is not persuasive for me in that regard. Most of the homosexual marriage push came from political groups that trace back to neo Marxists of Frankfurt School (see Henri Marcuse, György Lukács) and they went back to 1920's and 30's.The traditional family was seen as an oppressive unit that needed to be broken up. They wanted alternative families and ways of rasing children that watered down bonds kids had with mothers and fathers. If you look around that's what's been happening with drive by political groups, media and some academic forces. So the core of traditional marriage was broken and the exotic marrriages were cultivated. So society is now about to collpase - not due to fault of most kids here who wee given a bad deal from the start in many ways. Sorry if that's long but I actually kept it short (since last time I posted about theses things I was told to keep it in News/Debate forum)
