I feel sorry for these people, I think they must be very sick


Homosexuality is not a disease or an illness.

Here's my thoughts on it... "Marriage" is a religious term for the joining of a man and a woman. I think that gay couples should have every right that "married" couples get, as far as legalities go. Taxes, health benefits, inheritance, etc. However, I don't think they should call it a marriage. That's really what is pissing everyone off. I think the gay community would get a lot further alot quicker if they just quit calling it a marriage. Most religions do not permit "Gay Marriages". So instead of trying to change people's ideas on religion, just call it something else. Civil Union. Whatever you want to call it. I think the gay community is just fighting the wrong fight. Fight for your rights, not the term it's called.

Well....wait !

I said that I support it because, for some....it's happiness that they may not acquire thru any other means.
However doing it for tax advantages, and the rest of the nonsense is just a load of crap.

Well, in order to not start a debate about what homosexuality is or isn't, just know that "morally" I have a problem with it.

Now, do I hate gays? Do I begrudge them for being who they are? No, and I never would. I just don't agree with it. Just like some people don't agree with someone being a Christian, or not agreeing with someone who supports the NRA, etc.

Do you "morally" have a problem with many other groups of people who are different than you?

I did'nt say I agreed with homosexuality.
And I generally have problems with those that are enablers of them.

But a moral issue...isn't necessarily a legal one.

And legally...they have the right !

They should abolish marriage altogether

If you love someone you should choose to stay
if not go

A whole industry is spun around this word and of course the divorce

I have a problem with this line of thinking. Just because we "morally" have a problem with a certain individual or group of people does not mean we should deny them basic rights. The KKK and is allowed to exist despite MANY people "morally" having a problem with their behavior and beliefs.

Yes...hence why I stated that "morally" I did, but admitted that gay marriage would eventually come to fruition. Legally, it is going to happen whether people who morally object to it like it or not.

I'm sorry... you missed my point. I NEVER said they, either gay or heterosexual couples should get married because of tax advantages. What I meant was gay couples, married, union, whatever you want to call it SHOULD be entitled to all of the benefits heterosexual couples get for being married. Right now, they can't ( in most states) They are fighting to call it a "marriage" when it's not. A "marriage" started to be joined, a man and a woman, under God, Gods, Goddesses, whatever you believe. So quit trying to call it a marriage. Call it something else, but give them the SAME rights are heterosexual couples get.

<---- gay rights advocate



bet i get along with you just fine flowerforyou


am totally for it. my only issues are:

that there's a problem with the word 'marriage' in that the definition specifically refers to that between a female/male.

that a religious institution not be forced to perform a ceremony if it is in direct conflict with what that organization believes.

Ummmmm....was not denying them right their. I said I have a "moral" problem with it, but also stated that as humans they have rights. If I didn't say it, I am saying it now.laugh
