Same sex marriages (1 Viewer)

[nerdasdasd]

with all this talk about same sex marriages on the news, are you for or against it?

If yes , why?
If no, why?

 

[liamlolz]

I'm for it because marriage in these modern times is a legal contract and I believe everyone should be equal under the law. As a gay person myself, it is not about the benefits or status of marriage but purely about equality.
(Dying at what the SA senator Cory Bernardi said today: "But there's no discrimination against same-sex couples in this country." Yeah... Ok. [emoji23])

For; Let people do what they wanna do, we let a man turn himself into a woman, why can't we let people marry whoever they want, as long as nobody's rights are being abused of course

Extending the rights of couples in civil unions would achieve the same results and antagonise less people. I think that would be the better option.

 

[Squar3root]

good idea imo but idc doesn't affect me (or anyone else) in anyway so let gay people do whatever they want

 

[Queenroot]

Tbh I only care when other people in some way are hurt/affected by an individual. As with anything, as long as everything is consensual between a relationship of any kind I don't see a problem at all.

Everyone has beliefs, but as long as they don't impinge it on others everyone is happy.

I'm for it... I see absolutely no problem with it, it is none of my business or ANYONE'S business to say two people can't get married because they are of the same sex. it is natural for some people to be attracted to the same sex, just as it is natural for some to be attracted to the opposite sex. It doesn't affect me or anyone else, the only thing it brings is further happiness to that couple. There's no reason to be against it, unless you are against allowing happiness for anyone but yourself.

Yes

 

[Queenroot]

Incest has risks associated with reproducing but other than that if they are two consenting people I don't see the problem.

So it begs the question as to why government regulates marriage.

Why the hell does the government care about people's love life?

Hmm maybe they don't.... ?

my limit of understanding will end at 'two peoplewho love each other with full consent & legal standing should get married'
incest will be their issue but there should be a rule that when they want to have children they both have to go to a genealogist and then decide on that
polygamy... I don't know. the only picture in my head is a rich person 'getting married' with dozens of hot people by attracting them with money. then that's not love and if it isn't love it shouldn't be marriage

This belief that marriage is about two people who love each other is incorrect. While love plays a part, its not the sole/most significant factor. If it was then why would the government regulate it?

 

[Dolfingerpie]

Then what is the factor that determines if you're going to marry someone or not? money? social status? friendship?

 

[someth1ng]

For, because I simply don't give a shit if two consenting adults get married, whether gay or straight. It doesn't affect my life and it doesn't adversely affect anyone else's, then it shouldn't be a problem. It's really that simple.

 

[Dolfingerpie]

Also, we need regulations on marriage so that people without full consent and legal standing can't get married and the government regulates it because they're the one's who make laws. The problem arises as the Australian government is trying to amend the law.Also, its my mistake that I didn't say that it was my personal opinion only when I said if it isn't love it shouldn't be marriage. I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed it's just that I wouldn't see it as real marriage. But it's fine that you think otherwise because it's just my opinion.
Overall, I think same sex marriage will prove things and make things better but will still have many downfalls.

The purpose of the institution of marriage is to unite one man and one woman as one (through physical complementarity) in order to produce a child, such that every child has a father and a mother. Now while not all parents have children, under ideal marriage, every child has a father and mother.

Another word for marriage you might have heard is matrimony. Do you know what matrimony means? matri = mother - mony = suffix meaning "to make"

Marriage literally means "to make a mother".

Like I said, even though not all couple have,can have kids, as long as a man is in a marital relationship and remains faithful, he will not produce fatherless children (and by that I mean child who grow up without their father).

Under ideal marriage most children have both parents.

Opposition to same-sex marriage isnt about "not wanting others to be happy" like the lefty above said, though I do admit the existence of crazy "god-hates-fags" people around, nor is it about telling people who to love. Love whoever the hell you want, live with whoever the hell you want, sleep with whoever the hell you want. But marriage exists for a man and a woman.
