QUOTE(tomorrow_nvr_comes @ Mar 19 2004, 9:44 PM) I hate them...I am soo not for gayness...it grosses me out like you wouldnt believe to think of them getting married. what happened to being open minded?? a lie i suppose. figures. i guess you hate me because i am a lesbian. i'm "ungodly" lol. people don't choose to be this way. they can't help it. attraction is attraction. all they know is they aren't attracted to their opposite sex. so the accusation made that "gays" "choose" to be this way is completey ridiculous. do you "choose" to like boys?? no. all you know is you like them. it feels natural to you. well, it feels natural to me to like girls. and i'm so sorry but if you only knew how ignorant you sound. i mean i just can't believe that there are people out there like you. well... actually i can. "it grosses me out like you wouldn't believe to think of 'them' getting married." why the HELL does it gross you out?!? wtf does it have to do with you? i don't understand why you can't just respect that it's "another's" way of life. it has nothing to do with you... QUOTE (kryogenix @ Mar 20 2004, 4:38 PM) bah, i've given up on this debate. it repeats itself every 2 pages i agree |

I agree. Why on earth would people choose a life that they know is oppressed and not entirely accepted? I mean, life is hard enough as it is.... who'd want to make it harder voluntarily? And yeah. What does it have to do with you? You feel violated? Honey, just because a boy likes another boy doesn't mean he's gonna try and rape you. edit: Didn't realize you were a girl. Girls too. |

You are right, it doesn't really effect anybody if tehy get married, and also if they want children their number one option would probably be to adopt, so it would help some people out in the long run :)

yea, even if my friend were gay, it would be uncomfortable at first, but gay people arent really that much different from us. they only have different opinions about people, particularly in their gender. theyll still be the same as us. theyre not a total weird alien type person, and theres no need for discrimination. most straight people take being gay as a very bad thing, as an embarassing thing. and a "gross" thing. whats so "gross" about it? if you dont like it, dont think about it, and youll be fine.
phew. |

if 2 people love each other, let them get married.
long ago, most people in US didn't let "colored" people do anything cuz they thought other people were gross or all that bad stuff now a majority in the US wont let gay people wed. it just shows how people still havent changed.... so discriminatory. |

my thing is homosexuality has always been apart of history. it use to be accepted in the 1500's the warriors were to have male sexual partners at war and were told that if they did have sex with each other it would give them great strength. but now its shameful and no one wants to talk to gay ppl. i have friends whos own parents disown them because they choose to love diffrently than what society says is right and personally id rather be happy than politically correct

Ok, once again, Im speaking for someone who has seen both sides of the issue, being someone who is and lives with liberals but is also a Catholic and lives in a mostly conservative town
Gay Marrige is FINE Most people arent opposed to it, except 1. Hypocritical Bible Beaters 2. Hardcore Right Wing politicians look, anyone who has a legitimate reason for it not to exist, please step up so far, the only things people have said to ban it say "Its against the bible" Since when did the bible become the supreme law of the land? Seperation of Church and State Its only in the Bill of Rights If we start evoking relegious law, then we are no better then the "outlaw" Islamic governmets we are trying to depose |

maybe they were treated wrongly or influenced when they were young and just cant help it. but in tv shows (will and grace) it seems as if gay people have a choice to be gay or straight.

I believe if they had the courage to do something like that, they did have the great strength. Why can't gay people be happy? Legally? You say you gotta choose between breaking the law and being happy. Kind of leaves no room for the other side, of making marriage legal, and legalizing happiness, doesn't it? |

george w. bush shouldn't have mixed up church with state in his speech of gay marriages. i'm NOT opposed to it because it doesn't apply to me, people have the right to spend their life with who the want, and.. uh.. i have nothing against homosexuals and homosexual relationships.

There's a difference between legalizing something stupid like weed (which IS mind you, legal in some places), and legalizing something like marriage. |
