Gay Marriage MERGED

I could easily play devil's advocate here...

 

i think that threatening murder of a group of people who are against us is counter productive...it just give them another reason to hate us...and it provides for even more separation between the liberals and conservatives...which is large enough as is.
but i certainly understand your frustration.

 

I suspect somebody is just venting here. I'm not inclined to take it all so literally, but I also see the points of fellow posters.

 

I certainly don't advocating killing anyone, I just want them to learn some respect. I do suspect however that many of these idiots would gladly kill all of us if they thought they could get away with it. Nuff said.

 

i know it wasn't meant literally...but it just sends out the wrong message...killing does not yield respect...leave the hostility to the ignorant...to prove that we a group worth while we have to show that we are fair and not idiots...yep.

 

Wishing death upon somon is BAD! Even if the are an ass...

Exactly, I know plenty of gay/bi/les people who have hetro parents... heck,my parents are straight!


Anyways... in terms of same-sex marriageI wholeheartedly agree that it should be legal ! The couple is not harming anyone by getting married... they're just declaring thier love for one another in legal terms!
Also, by legalizing same-sex marriage the homosexual and bisexual communities will hopefully prevent any future loss of rights. If you pay attention to some of the anti-homosexual laws which are being passed, it's rather scary...

 

what i don't think people understand about gay marriage is that it is much more than declaring love...if it were just that i probably would not care as much...marriage is not necessary. what i think conservatives and the like are truly afraid of is giving us the rights that heterosexual married couples get such as tax breaks and hospital visitation rights among others...upon granting these rights the government will recognize us as more than second class citizens and will then lose their legal mediums for discriminating against they gays.
ouch.

 

What was with that stupid law gay's couldnt marry are they aloud now??

 

no.

 

I dont know, I think so...maybe..ummm I dont know

 

As far as I know, same-sex marriage is not yet legal anywhere in the USA. Vermont has civil unions, and those offer some benefits. I hear something about Massachusetts, but I'm not clear. Anyone with any more info, help us out.

Canada either has same-sex marriage or is going to get it soon. The Netherlands and Spain have same-sex marriage.

Btw, gay people are allowed to marry. We're just not allowed to marry people of our own sex. You might be stunned at the number of gay people who do get married to someone of the opposite sex.

 

Overhere it's legal.. so get moving

 

lucky ass you live in the netherlands thats like the best place to be. One day I'll move to armsterdam !!!

 

well.. it's just another city like any other.. we have theft here, crimes, homeless people, grumpy people, shitload of tourists.. it's not like it's a complete heaven I love living in Amsterdam though, I love the city.. but I love it as a whole: good things ànd bad things.

 

Same-sex marriage is legal up here in Massachusetts, but the divorce laws for it are still kinda screwed up at the moment.
Civil unions are legal in Vermont and Connecticut.

As far as international law, I believe civil unions are legal in most European countries, and same-sex marriage is legal in Spain, Denmark, and the Netherlands, as well as a few other European countries and Canada.

 

in the netherlands all gays can get married
and why not
i don`t understand all the fuzz about it
who are those people that they can make that rule
i think it stinks!!

 

I've been with my girlfriend for almost 4 years and I would really like to marry her legally, but, you know, the laws and all. At this point no politician is going to say he or she is all for gay marriage, b/c unfortunately the majority is still against it. (Isn't that fucked up? It's okay to have lesbian porn and watch funny gay men on TV, but we can't marry??) So, we need to at least elect someone in our states and in national elections who at least won't make it totally illegal, like Bush is trying to do with that stupid amendment. Any comments or concerns?

 

move to canada and become a felllow canuck

 

Do you think you would ever have a same sex marriage for yourself ?

 

I like to think so...
