I suport the gay marriage... is a human right, if you love a person in same sex, you can marry with this person, is basic, i thinking is very simple, if you can love, you can marry.
I just say that if two consenting adults want to be together, who are we to stop them? The government has no right to force the CHURCH to acknowledge the marriage, but they MUST not deny the same rights that traditional couples are entitled to.
I would like to address something that I overlooked before while scanning this topic.
Asherlee, love and monogamy have very little if anything to do with each other. This is a very common error based on current societal values, not reality.
Also, studies have proven that women are just as prone to 'cheat' as men are.
Your premise concerning the sexes and their ability to love is based on faulty logic.
Wow Why are we talking about homos............................................................................................................................................
I wouldn't say my logic is faulty if it is based on my perspectives of the sexes. Bringing studies into this debate we have will be worthless, obviously because the studies I've read say otherwise, that mean are more prone to cheat because they are not meant to be monogamous. It is in a male's nature (human or animal) to spread his seed. The way a male brain works when in regards to sex is different when comparing it to a woman. Women are NATURALLY more nurturing. Thus, it is a deeper love between two women than between two males.
We should probably start a new topic about this, since it will head off in a different direction.
But concerning nurture, I present the following.
If a woman has to choose between her mate and her children, she'll usually choose her children.
If a man has to choose between his mate or his children, he'll usually choose his mate.
Nurture = Deeper love? I think not. If anything, exactly the opposite is the case.
And again, don't confuse love and monogamy. They really have little if anything to do with each other. Heck, the most consistently 'in love' people I've ever met in my life have been swingers.
Homosexuals i gues have a right to call themselves a couple and should be able to get benifits like being married. But marrage is for a man and a woman, its bin like that for several thousand years. Just in this century we have allowed gay marrage, and i personaly think thats wrong. Gays do not deserve to call themselves married, y not call it somthing els.
Well I agree mostly on that, Crunk. I believe marriage should be only for a man and a woman, but gay people should have the SAME rights as a married couple.
Whoa stop back up a second. You have to define marriage first.
Marriage is a legally binding contract with rights of survivorship, which also allows for certain benefits (Social Security, etc...) in certain areas. It wasn't until fairly recently in the history of marriage that survivorship had anything to do with it at all. In many places it still doesn't, and any assets go to the eldest son or some other male relative in the event of death.
As things stand right now, a homosexual couple can enter into a contract (and also use wills) that do almost the same thing. They just can't call it a marriage contract.
Marriage has nothing to do with a ceremony or love. It is a type of legal contract. Period.
i dont really care about that but they should have the same rights as everyone else. its doesnt matter who they like they are people like everyone else!
