I saw a comment like this in a thread a while back made by a few people and I'm wondering what is so special about gay marriage and why is it a beautiful thing?

It's not so much that it's a "beautiful thing" as it's "something they should be entitled to." I know a gay guy who's married.

I wouldnt say it is any more special than any other marriage. Possibly because it is a step forward for human rights or something.

I wouldn't say it's "beautiful", marriage in general is not beautiful to me. With that said, I support equal rights for homosexuals, and am a supporter of gay marriage.

I think being gay does not preclude one from loving another..:| Anyway, marriage by definition is not a beautiful thing.....

I have no problem with civil union of gays, but marriage is originally a Christian term, and Cgristianity teaches it's wrong to be gay so... you catch my drift.

Oh, yeah, how come the word gay in the title had to be censored? I'm not trying to be offensive, just making discussion.

All marriage is beautiful because it is (supposed to be) the eternal binding in body, mind, and soul between two people, and a grand statement of the love they share.

Doesn't really affect me at all if some guy wants to marry another guy. Everyone has their own attractions. I wouldn't marry someone I'm not attracted to, that's just dumb.

No marriage is based on sex. Sex can be had outside of marriage. Children can be born outside of marriage. Marriage is based on love and wanting to spend your life with the person you're married to.

Marriage is rarely beautiful. Just efficient. Same sex marriage is no more or less beautiful than heterosexual marriage.

The implication is that gays can't actually be in love, and their relationship is only based on sex. Or, if you're going to say that all romantic relationships are only based on sex, then that makes it no different from straight marriage.

No marriage is based on sex. Sex can be had outside of marriage. Children can be born outside of marriage. Marriage is based on love and wanting to spend your life with the person you're married to.

If only that was the case with most marriages:P

Christianity teaches a lot of things that people don't follow these days for one reason or another. Christianity would also state that marriage is the soul-bonding of a man and a woman before the eyes of the holy spirit. The government handing out marriage certificates willy nilly kind of erases God from that equation, but I don't hear anyone complaining about that idolatry.

I strongly doubt this. Anyway, marriage isn't really that a beautiful thing in general to me, but I'd like to see homosexuals have the same legal rights, it's kind of disappointing that they don't already.

I stand by my statement. And I'll tell you why. People who are gay like to have sex with people of the same gender. That is a fact. Otherwise, they wouldn't classify themselves as gay. But men and women who get married can have a completely platonic relationship, free of sex. Some men and women get married and never have sex even once.

Deadevil666, how am I ignorant? And by the way, I would say that your name for this site is ignorant, because 666 is the Devil's number, and he's more evil than anything else.

I think he knows that 666 is the "Devil's Number," and that he intentionally put that in his username. Nothing ignorant about it. Also, you've made some other dubious statements. Like your "What Socialism Is" thread, and your comment that both the Democratic and Republican parties are socialist.

Well, it's my number now.

And Gamesharq, gay people are attracted to the same sex. Straight people are attracted to the opposite sex.

The end.

People who are straight are like to have sex with people of the other gender. And same sex couples are just as likely to have these sex-free relationships, more so counting the fact that same sex couples can't have a child together from sexual intercourse.

Marriage isn't in general a "beautiful" thing... but it is something everyone should be entitled to, regardless of their sexual preference.

But that doesn't make sense when you include couples that have decided against having children (straight marriage).

it wouldn't be 'special' anymore if people didn't make it a battle. Love is a beautiful thing though, as is finding the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

People in general like to have sex. Gay straight or bi.

Gay people don't get married to have sex. They get married to show their commitment to one person. To show that sterotypes like the one you are trying to say (homosexuals have a overactive sexlife).

Marrage isn't about sex. Its about love and commentment.

That's unture on so many levels. That's what you think. They can be gay and never have sex, they could just love each other and want to be together. Same with any other relationship. Gay or straight. :|

I don't think you meant to say the bolded was untrue.

turtlethetaffer

First off, there is a quote function. Learn how to use i

Second, no. Socialism is not "taking money from people so everyone has the same amount." Socialism encompasses several different economic and social beliefs, and narrowing it down to the farce you described is not only over-simplification, but it is dishonest and ignorant.
