HA! just shows you didnt read the posts, because were NOT saying "wrong!" - Symbiote is saying I'm naive and sentimental. and I'm saying Symbiote is a ****ing hypocritical scumbag.
WHO'S WRONG NOW???? EH???
"I don't fear your opinion of me, and don't want 4 generations of your family to suffer for my scathing and unflinching opinion. I know I'm old-fashioned. And, sometimes, that's a good thing. "
Yeah, I guess that's why the world never changes. Do you also think Black people should be forced to ride on the back of the bus? It's "old fashioned" to think so. Old fashioned often = prejuduce, you're only proving such.
Will somebody tell me why it is our "duty" as human beings to reproduce? And also why we should not be allowed to marry unless we plan to do so? I hope you realize, badsymbiote, that there are plenty of married, straight couples who never have children. By your logic they should not be allowed to be legally wed.

1. homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.2. heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. infertile couples and old people can't legally get married because the world needs more children.
3. obviously, gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
4. straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage is allowed, since britney spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.
5. heterosexual marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are property, blacks can't marry whites, and divorce is illegal.
6. gay marriage should be decided by people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of the minorities.
7. gay marriage is not supported by religion. in a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. that's why we have only one religion in america.
8. gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
9. legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. people may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
10. children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. that's why single parents are forbidden to raise children.
11. gay marriage will change the foundation of society. heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven't adapted to things like cars or longer lifespans.
12. civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name, are better, because a "separate but equal" institution is always constitutional. separate schools for african-americans worked just as well as separate marriages for gays and lesbians will.
captainpolice🤺 The fabulous gays say: "You go boy!"
Personally I cant see why anyone would ever want to get married.
It's an archaic, barbaric institution that should have no place in today's modern world! schmoll

Clearly, your definition of "modern" is subjective....at least in this country.
Originally posted by badsymbiote For me, I think that basically marriage is like a contractual obligation between two parties, and in the end, it really is just a piece of paper. If you truly want to committ to someone, and they to you, it should be good enough to just share your lives together, without having to tell every living soul that you encounter that the other person now belongs to you and you alone. Live together. Wear a ring. But I don't think it's fair to reward people of the same sex with the same benefits of marriage--sometimes at the cost of taxpayers--unless they can create a viable human being as a heterosexual couple can. When they can make an active contribution to society through their contribution of offspring to the human race without the extensive scientific and laboratory involvement, then I'd be more receptive to the idea.
If marriage is something so trivial, then why would you defend it? I'm not sure that you realize that by saying marriage is really "just a piece of paper and gay people shouldn't really WANT to get married" because it's not really that important, that you end up arguing against yourself?
As far as the whole bit about marriage being for the sake of the species and it's survial, lady, we are your species. Spend your time arguing against global warming or air pollution or serial killers or nuclear weapons, because those things are a bigger threat to "your" species than me marrying my boyfriend.
As for the topic of gay men not being able to stay with one person, straight men AND women cheat just as much as gay men. Straight men and women lie about STD's just as much as gay men. You know, gay people aren't a circus act that exist inside this microcosm to be viewed by straight people like a circus act. Our flaws are your flaws too, because in the end, we're all selfsih, self serving human beings.....

what about my cousin? my aunt is a lesbian and had a childHer son never met his father, and he is a perfectly normal, functioning adult. in fact, he was the first of our generation to finish college and is now a pharmacist.
He dates, functions perfectly well.
and saying a single parent isn't responsible for being pregnant is ludicrous. People are always responsible for thier actions. The only time i remember of someone getting pregnant without having sex (which is how humans procreate in case you didn't know) is Jesus. And that was kind of a special case.
9. legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. people may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
Actually thats the only part I found kind of true. In iceland they allowed gay marriage. Right after that they allowed people to marry animals.
I think that was sarcasm...''dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract''
I dont see why people find it so difficult to mind their own business, instead of sticking their noses into other people's business. Why would a person care if two men or two women got married?
Whatever happened to the 'librity' and 'freedom' you all preach to the rest of us? Its rather hypocritical if you then turn around and say to someone ''you CANNOT marry who you want''

Your not directing that at me are you? if so I think you miss understood me. Personally I am not sure if I'm for gay marriage or not. I was just stateing a fact.
