Same-Sex Marriage (2 Viewers)

*Incorrect buzzer noise*
Paul of Tarsus said that the teachings of the Torah were covered by Christ and all that shit.
But he's the same guy that was for women in the Church and then wrote "let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for women to speak in the Church" in Corinthians.

m8 i'm not the christian know-it-all so go ask a priest about it and they'll probably explain all of that

i still don't get this debate. do i support gays/lesbians getting full recognition, tax benefits and the other legal benefits of being married? yes.

however, i don't support it being called a 'marriage'. the simple fact is that marriage has been the term that has denoted a bond between a man and a woman for thousands of years. as much as i think religious people are bat shit insane, the word marriage has large religious connotations and a lot of tradition to it. if you gave gays/lesbians all of the rights i mentioned above, yet just called it a 'civil union' or whatever, what's the difference? i don't go around and whinge that i can't be classified as a negro, it's because i'm not, i don't fit the definition.

Hi person with the exact same point I made like 10 pages ago

uuughmg, such a pointless thread.

yes, they should be allowed - there are not valid arguments for those who are religious
gays receive far too much attention - IMPORTANT TO REALISE THIS
gays should not be allowed to have children
it should not be called marriage, but rather something else
marriage is religious - however the term has been corrupted by those choosing not to use a priest or church
there are gay protestant pastors (fucking stupid)
most against say they hate gay men but love lesbian porn

there are more important issues

state your main points then

state your main points then

Already did. Basically: If gays want to have their 'marriage'-like thing, go ahead - but don't call it marriage.

 

[boris]

because by having a separate name..it is still suggesting that we are not equal. if it is the same rights then it is the same, yet by having two separate names for the same thing it is suggesting they are the same, but not equal

Already did. Basically: If gays want to have their 'marriage'-like thing, go ahead - but don't call it marriage.

address this

 

[Chemical Ali]

I don't see what's wrong with calling it an "indigenous union" rather than changing the definition to legalize Black Marriage, it's legally the same, right? Why would they care?

 

[cosmo kramer]

we should ban miscegnation again

 

[Garygaz]

it's called being an idealist. i hate idealists. making an issue out of anything and everything since for fucking ever.

but we can't use this word, regardless that everything else is the EXACT SAME so we are being discriminated against!!!

 

[Lolsmith]

said the middle class heterosexual racial majority

 

[Shadowdude]

address this

I think we're just getting into childhood silliness now. "OMG THESE TWO WORDS AREN'T THE SAME BECAUSE THE FIRST WORD HAS EIGHT LETTERS AND THE SECOND WORD HAS NINE LETTERS!!!!1!1!!eleven!!one!11!!1!!"

They'll be synonyms, geez.

 

[boris]

why not just make it the same word then

 

[Phoenix Fury]

If homos go through the process of marriage then they are married.

 

[Shadowdude]

why not just make it the same word then

We already went through this...

 

[boris]

yeah but you are saying it doesnt matter and then arguing again when it is suggested to make it the same

if it doesnt matter that its different then it wont matter if its the same

 

[Shadowdude]

Legally, it won't matter - because they'll describe the same thing... they'll just have two different words to describe the same process.

 

[boris]

but it doesnt matter so why 2 words

 

[Shadowdude]

So more people can be happy about it.

If the name is different then to the stupid bogan cunts out west (lol irony) it will seem like it is different and wrong. It will seem like it is okay to outcast homosexuals that are together in civil union rather than in marriage because they are named differently so it is okay to treat them differently (I live in a family of bogan westies and this is the case). So if homos have any chance of being accept into regular society the name has to be marriage.

I can't be bothered reading this shit you spastics, but my view is:

- even if they legalise marriage between homosexuals, it doesn't mean Churches have to marry them because Churches can already refuse to marry people. That's why you have to do stupid fuckin counselling and shit if you want to get married in a Catholic church, they have to vet your relationship firs.t
- if that is such a god damn issue for some of you, why not at least give them civil ceremony, so that they are legally married in the eyes of the state, for all intents and purposes.
- like Ebony I can't see why gay people want to get married in Churches, in the eyes of a God that rejects them
- some other shit

 

[katie tully]

Basically shit is fucked up when people like you and I can get married multiple times to whomever we want, to some shit cunt we met last week... and that gay people can also do that if they run off and marry the opposite sex, but if they want to legalise their relationship so that they are entitled to the same rights and protections as heteros, they can't... because it offends the delicate sensibilities of some clusterfucking cunt who believes in a moongod.

And who cares why they do or do not want to get married. Marriage is some sentimental bullshit for some people, just let them have it. Fuck.

 

[pony_magician]

I forgot that this was still an issue.
Wow.
