i personally think that as long as the people are in love, they should be entitled to holy matromony. I also think that gay couple should be allowed to adopt children, ok i understand that the child may ask a lot of questions and may get a little grief for his parents sexuality, but at the end of the day if the child is loved, looked after and cared for properly i dont see the big problem. I mean come on, we're all human!

They shouldn't be allowed to adopt children. No way.

ok fcuk, why do u say that, give me a reason dude, u gotta bk up what you say.

i think it's ok. as you said, if they are in love they should also have the right to marry like "normal" couples and also be allowed to adopt children.

but, unfortunately we are living in an intolerated society. just imagine what would happen when the children go to school or when they would live in the country, where the traditional and christian values are stronger than in a big city, for example.

Good point, but i will admit, our society is slowly changing, gay and bi people are bein accepted more and more, its now legal for them to marry under holy matromony, and they have the option to adopt too by law, so surely we are changing. I knew a kid who had lesbian parents, oki he got a little slack but his all good, and he got over it rather well, and his living a good life, and is blatently loved.

you are right, our society is changing. but the majority is still intolerant. most people have prejudices and think that gays or lesbians aren't "normal" and aren't able to educate the children like the heteros. and these prejudices won't change so fast.

Gay marriage is perfectly fine. Ethically, there is nothing wrong with it, if you look at the big picture and realise that the "Adam and Eve" templates of long ago have been outdated.

However, people don't look at the bigger picture. Many of the people who choose this lifestyle are frowned upon. The majority who believe that it is disgusting, and that the opposite sex was created for a reason. One could also argue that a VERY extreme case of this could lead to population shortages. Take that as you will, but it will never get to that stage.

The people who do marry the same sex are neither deranged, mentally harmed or insane. I remember a quote a wise friend told me on IRC one night:

Me: "I'm completely straight"
Him: "Straight? An iron bar is straight until you add a little heat to it."

I find it a shame that it's frowned upon. I can call myself lucky to be 'conventional' in my sexuality, but many people know that you can't help who you fall in love with. It's a shame that some have to be punished for it.

dude thats a realli cool quote

**Asi9ine** · April 3rd '06

Yeah, he's always had a way with words.

I want to add something else, too.

Why is it everywhere I read a debate about this, someone asks if the person in question is 'alright'? I have read a few long conversations that turn into arguments with the suggestion, "were you abused as a child?"

Why does being homosexual have to do with being abused? I will get the quote in question a little later.

Im all for it, Gay people are often more friendly and cheerful!
They make the world a better place lol

love is love. its too bad that people feel the need to stereotype it.

Think about all the people who get quickie marriages and then divorces, while a gay couple who truly love each other and would probably stay commited to each other, can't.

Totally agree w/ prevus...
Gay people are people and should be allowed the same marriage rights everyone else has. It is not killing anyone is it?! If they're happy LET IT BE. Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

i agree with it if men and women can get married because their in love then men and men or women and women should be allowed to get married...

i can't understand why people are getting so stressed about gay people it isn't like their gonna see you in the street and try and pull you or try and have sex with you
