It's about time. It's a shame that in America for so long we have been oppressing people who are homosexual based off of others religious preferences.


Yay for civil rights :)

gays dont bother me as long they dont try to get me involved in anything[:'(]

can of worms.....



I COMMAND YOU TO OPEN!!!!!!!!

I honestly don't see why anyone cares about gay marriage that much. It doensn't affect you in any way. If two guys get married, my life doesn't change at all. Glad to hear that news.

some are bothered because of the definition of the term itself...holy matriooooomoanyus with a man and a woman....another term would be nice, but whatever.

My bosses are closed-minded P.O.Shiats........one says the to the other:

Boss1: "hey, you hear there lettin' ******s get married in CA?"
Boss2: "Oh great...we got a **** and a nigger running for president...whats next?"
Boss1: "All we need is a black (explitive) running for president....the glory days of being a white man in America are over....."

sometimes i cannot stand working in this business.

The only problem I have is when they try to adopt. What is the 'divorce' rate among life partners? Astronomical from the accounts I have read and most of those 'divorces'were the result of infidelity directly related to their more, shall we say, permisquous lifestyles.

I wouldn't care if their divorce rate is 99% they still should be given the right to be married.

But I agree with you on the adoption thing.

Personally I think if gheys wanna unite then call it something like a civil union,, not marriage.

"Marriage" has religious connotations. Besides, I think a big reason they wanna get "married" is so they can claim some tax advantages that married people can get, so let them have it via a civil union.. Everybody wins

What ever its there life. I dont care if they wana get married or not....

But when they start adopting kids and stuff thats somthing I personally dont think is a healthy enviroment for a kid.

Sources please. I am kinda curious as to what there divorce rate is, and that gay people are more sexually active than straight people.

I do not think it could be much higher than hetero divorce rates to be honest.

As for adoption, who really knows? There are LOUSY straight parents just as sure as there are LOUSY gay parents.

that is not the point. kids in school will wonder why there are two dad's at a parent teacher conference...and they won't just shrug it off, especially in today's world where several teens will label anything they don't approve of as being gay.

"that car is gay"

"this food is gay"

"my girlfriend is gay"

"homework is gay"

"the way they play the game is gay"

etc

god i wish i lived in the 50s...i could have a big block chevy, a cool leather jacket....friggin ducktail...and life was simple...no terrorists, closet fags....affordable homes......sigh....if only i had a genie

I would imagine the way it is now that it would be more surprisng to see a non-divorced couple show up that either two dads or two moms. Kids are going to hear that no matter if they have straight or gay parents, and it would be up to the parents to sit down and explain to the child the situation. I am going to assume that if the child knew no different from a young age, that having two moms or two dads would not bother them much at all, even with teasing.

A similar story. Back when I was in elementary school, one of my best friends came from a mixed household (mom was black, dad was white) which in 1980 in my small town was something of an anomoly still. I remember him being constantly teased, kids not allowed to play with him, etc... I had to ask my parents about it, because I just did not understand WHY it was not OK to play with the guy, or what the big deal was.

I still remember my dad's response, and it still stays with me to this day:

"Some people are just stupid, Brian."

Everyone has been teased at one point or another, it is a part of life. You can either let it turn you into a big pansy, or after a while it just loses the effect it had. I have been a skinny guy my entire life. It quit bugging me when I was 5. Why should I let it bother me?

That got a little long-winded, sorry.

Excellent life lesson, everyone has to learn it at some point.

This thread is gay.

Eh, I think it is a good move. There are too many important rights (hospital visitation, insurance) that gay couples that are together for ages and ages should have. I don't care about the religious aspect of it, and I don't think marriage is necessarily between woman and man... tho to be frank, I don't care if they call it civil union either; who gives a crap, as long as you have the same basic legal rights?

Oh, and a Stanford study of Danish couples (can't do it here, we don't have gay marriage) found that the average divorce rate of hetero couples was 47 percent, and 17 percent for gay couples.

The adoption thing I don't care about either; the only issue IMO is the whole "you will be made fun of for being different" thing, but to me that isn't enough to make adoption a no-no for gays. Gay parents better be damn careful tho, as their kids will be targets in many places. However, I know plenty of gay people I think would be wonderful parents and influences in peoples lives, so...

Anyway, good move; doesn't really affect me at all, and makes lives better for a lot of people.

fixed it. [8D]

I don't see why the government should be able to prevent homosexuals from getting married. From what I've seen, government and religion don't mix well. For many religioins
