For or against Gay Marriage

[MrTitans]

Honestly if they can't get married they will still be together. I honestly do not care what happens either way. They will still be together if it doent work out. All people should be happy.

Well I think you just stated that it should be legal. It will make homosexual people happy. Anyone who would get unhappy because of it really is kind of mental, but of course I do not mean to offend

Has anyone here heard of the Log Cabin Republicans? They are an LGBT group that is endorsing Romney. Thoughts?

Hmm. never heard of them. Reading wikipedia atm. I find them quite weird to be honest. ''Gay (supporting) republican'' It's one of those terms like ''Jewish Nazi (supporter)''.

I can not deny that they do good work though. Trying to knock some sense into them and trying to remove state supported discrimination.

Uh, no... Just... no.

Saw this on another forum and thought I'd add it in here for people who oppose gay marriage.

I believe this is a cause worth trying my very best for. Equality is something very dear and important to me and although you personally may not give enough of **** about other people (I don't blame you, it's hard understand why Homosexuals want all the same rights as you because you're already in a privileged position), I do. And I believe that these "other people" deserve the same rights as everyone else, and a good foot in the door would be marriage.


And yes, I am telling you that a lack of belief in the basic rights of Homosexuals is wrong. That is a fact, it's opposition to human rights, and if you can't swallow that then your opinion isn't robust enough to be taken seriously.

In addition because I'm so sick and tired of people telling me they don't approve of it because it is "wrong" or "gross" and it will somehow damage the fundamentals of marriage, since you prejudiced intolerant people won't stop shouting about how wrong it is no matter what, explain to me how a feeling that someone can't control is immoral. Explain to me exactly how loving another human (which, by the way is what Jesus was all about preaching, according to the religious text most people use to back their anti-gay views) is wrong. We cannot control who we like and how well we like them. That is FACT.

And on top of that, I would just like to add that by leaving gay marriage illegal, gay people will still be together. They will still love who they love, they just won't get the right to see them in the hospital bed, or purchase a home TOGETHER. They will still be doing the things you anti-gays are against, because face it THEY CANNOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE GAY. Just like everyone else can't change whether or not they prefer blondes or tall people or whatever else.

And finally, if we have to legalize gay marriage, then we should have to legalize straight marriage, too, because guess what? IT WAS NEVER MADE LEGAL EITHER, OK? Odd isn't it that one thing that was never legalized is somehow legal and fine, but another thing that is EXACTLY the same and wasn't legalized, is not only illegal, but somehow immoral.

You know they are supporting Romney for economic reasons, right? They have been around even before she showed up. Can homosexuals be Republican? They are business owners. Look at the CEO of NBC, Robert Greenblatt. He's out loud and proud. In that regard I can see why they would support Romney. Awhile ago, I saw an Asian woman who was a small business owner show her support for Mittens.

Unfortunately, as much as we try to knock sense into these deluded peoples' heads and as much as we bombard them with the truth and the morally correct decision, they're still going to lock themselves behind a mental barricade that they wouldn't dare be breached. They're going to close the curtains and refuse to see why they're wrong.

Very soon though science, logic and common sense will prevail, and things like same-sex marriages will be rightly legalised and respected. We've come a long way since the time that homosexuals were persecuted and even killed. Society is improving. Do you know what that's corresponding with? The rise of science and atheism.

Well gee, I wonder why they won't listen, you're talking so nice to them

Talking nice isn't the answer, regrettably. Sugar-coating things just makes it worse.
