Great?

I am neutral about this. I believe gays should be allowed to get married, but I do think it is morally wrong.

I now declare this thread, suitable to hold "civilised" discussion on why homosexuality is immoral...

Proceed.

Oh great, :roll: just a more lack-of-manliness in the world :lol: I joke, I joke, as much as I disagree, it is stated in the Bill of Rights, not clearly, but generally, so I don't see a reason why they shouldn't be allowed to get married.FastNorwegian

I honestly don't understand how you can oppose same-sex marriage. It does not harm anyone.

Care to explain?

Well, good for NH.

... And yet, the sky is not falling? Say is not so! :o

You're right! And, in addition, men and women should not be allowed to marry unless they reproduce. Oh, and, of course, I forgot, its not possible for two men to love each other-they must just be looking for benefits!

traditionally speaking, in a more religous sense marriage is between a man and a woman period. (im atheist btw). HOWEVER the government decided at some point in time that those who should become legally bound by marriage get benefits (certain tax breaks and what not). by doing this they must offer the same rights to all those who get married. meaning they have to let same sex couples marry. a civil union is not always recognized and is not in any way an alternative.

basicly good on you NH. this is not loopholing. this is people wanting to love and being aforded that same recognition of their love as every other human being is entitled to. (needing a legal document to let people know that you love is still strange to me though.)

This thread has hope of staying debate free. I hope. I thinks that's really cool. I can really see this domino effect rippling throughout the states.majoras_wrath

debate should always be encouraged! arguments are a different story....

[QUOTE="FastNorwegian"] I just think marriage should be between a man, and a woman. Man & Man can't reproduce, so why would you want to get married? If they are just doing it for benefits, thats loopholing, and pretty wrong. battlefront23

Why shouldnt they be equal?

[QUOTE="Ingenemployee"]

[QUOTE="battlefront23"] I agree, but I do believe they should have the liberty to get married. I do, however, think that homosexual love and heterosexual love are not the same and are not equal.battlefront23

Why shouldnt they be equal?

sorry, why should they not equal

Oh noooo.AAllxxjjnn

So for the folks that oppose it, would that opposition also include opposing a couple one of whom had a sex change to the opposite sex of their partner?

[QUOTE="Ingenemployee"]

[QUOTE="battlefront23"] Huh? What do you mean by "shouldn't"?battlefront23

i think he is questioning your reasoning in deciding why you claim homosexual love is not equal to heterosexual love.
