Could someone explain to me why g@y marriage is a beautiful thing?

[QUOTE="chesterocks7"]

[QUOTE="Lockedge"] Some people see marriage as a finish line to achieving a successful relationship, and peer pressure also can force the hand. Sometimes one half of the couple wants one, and the other agrees to just to appease them.Dank_Dangler

I know all that can happen, and nobody's situation is the same. In my experience there was no way in hell I would of got married if I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. Besides, weddings are **** expensive.

Traditionally, the brides family pays for the wedding, so what are you worried about...other than commitment?

I'm not worried about anything I am married. And yeah traditionally the brides family pays for it. Realistically that doesn't happen all too often.

It is only beautiful to gay people. Other people are either indifferent or disgusted by it.

Lucifericus

...so hetero people get married over indifference or disgust? Sounds about right...

Sorry, am I mi(e)ssing (with) you again?

[QUOTE="Murj"]

Some people will think it's beautiful, some will not. But it's a right they are (or should be) entitled to nonetheless.

Opinions are always the right of the individual.

It's OK, you don't need to. Dog bless.

[QUOTE="Lockedge"][QUOTE="chesterocks7"]

What's with all these ppl that say marriage sucks? I know that's a common belief but if you hate the person you're married to why the hell did you marry them in the first place?

This is very true, much like me, except I would ditch the stupid cow in a heartbeat for a newer model...Intelligent people should never commit to a stupid person, no matter how hot their bod- it will NEVER work.

I didn't just say any of that.

It's not. I don't have anything against gays, but gay marriage is based on sex, and any marriage based on sex is destined to fail.GAMESHARQ

A While ago California legalized gay marriage. This event will certainly ruin America! Now before you get on your high horses and start calling me "Homophobic" let me say two things first "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and I'm not against it for the reason you're thinking. The first lesbian/gay couple was an 87 year old and 84 year old.

This messes up most guys thoughts of a hot lesbian couple. Now every time a guy thinks about that he will get the awful image of an 87 and 84 year old getting it on (eww). This will set off a chain-reaction. Now that young men will stop thinking about lesbians incla$$ they will have too pay more attention incla$$ Because of that some of the people that would be on the streets mugging, killing and stealing will have good jobs. Since people are no longer dying for stupid reasonthe human population will grow to 10 billion in 10 years. Since the earth can hold that many people we will go closer to the sun and the temperature on earth will be 1000 degrees! Don't worry you wouldn't melt because you would die early from the lack of food.

People need to stop acting as if getting married automatically awards them a damn medal or something. Regardless of sexuality.

TC needs to rethink this question and ask "Why is marriage a beautiful thing in the first place?"

And therefore heterosexual marriages are based on love and never purely on sex, whereas homosexual marriage is... ?

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?

You are wrong. Period.

Homosexuality isnot solely based on sex. Just because the compound word includes the word "sexuality" we shouldnt derive anything from it, just as much as we dont derive anything from it in the case of the word "heterosexuality". Double standards? Yes it seems.

Gay marriage is not based on sex. Gay people are not only sexually attracted to the same sex but also have feelings towards the same sex, such as love. Therefore, a gay marriage is not based on sex. Or it can be just as much as straight marriage can be based on sex.

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.

turtlethetaffer

I couldnt stress that enough.

Um, you obviously don't know what Socialism is. If everyone would be "equal", then it would require redistribution of wealth, wouldn't it?

It's basically a one man show by now

I don't understand what's the big debate over gay marriage. People against it need to stop and ask themselves "What does it do to me?", it's the same thing that 1/2 the things people complain about need to do as well.

Why can't the goverment be neutral on the subject? *sigh*

g@y

What with the "@"?

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.PannicAtack

Care to explain why ?

There are lots of guys who I love, but you don't see me walking up to them and say "will you marry me?".

You dont love them though the same way you will love the woman you will fall in love with.

A marriage between a man and a man is not sick.

Anything esle? :)

its no more beautiful than heterosexual marriage.

but I suppose some people are inclined to believe it is because it goes against the social norm

[QUOTE="Teenaged"]

[QUOTE="alexside1"] I don't see any difference when it comes to love. They all the same thing to me.alexside1

A person that would get married out of love, it would be the last type of love I mentioned. Therefore your point that you dont ask your friends that you love to marry you is mute since the love you feel for them is friendly love. You havent fallen in love with them.

[QUOTE="alexside1"][QUOTE="Teenaged"]Thats not my problem. There are different types of love whether you want to realise it or not.

One could argue that it is a social norm this day and age.

So you label those who disagree with you (when comes to marriage) as homophobes? That's very prejudge of you.alexside1

What label would be more appropriate for them, religious crusaders? I gave the most fitting name I could think of, and in terms of prejudice denying someone there rights is a bit more "prejudge" (prejudice) than name calling.
