UK Legalizes Gay Marriage

Discuss.

Pro- legal validity and related privileges.

Pro- allowing a couple to express their love (if that sort of thing might interest them).

Con- marriage.

Homosexual men and women also fall in love. And once they find the man or women of their dreams they also desire to enter into life-long unions. Love and commitment between same-sex couples is the same as heterosexual couples and therefore should reap the same benefits.

(Belgium became the second country in the world to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry.)

Good. More countries should follow.

Alot of Europe is legalizing gay marriage. I don't think Italy has yet.

Before, same-sex marriages were recognized nationwide in four countries: Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Spain and also in the state of Massachusetts. South Africa is to follow or has already followed, I' m unsure about it.

Poland won't. With present gov for sure 😬

I can't wait to see what will China do with this issue.

Maybe turkey will do it! I heard that homosexuality is illegal there ! 😆

China would be smart to legalize gay marriage, it might help with their population problem.

As for the UK, it's a good thing, obviously. America will too...just as soon as it pulls that crucifix out of its collective ass.

From where do you perceive the most good emanating?

Possibility or perception?

The US is too Christian......It's always fought in the courts.....

Just a technicality, but same-sex civil partnerships were legalized, not marriages.

Thats a big difference, when it comes to religion anyway.

I percieve nothing. It's good on many levels.

It's good for human equality. That is obvious. Perception will come as a result of it becoming normal, and in time...there will no longer exist a concept of "gay rights".

Plus, as soon as gays start getting married, they can start getting divorced...and then none of us will have to listen to a mainstream media outlet mention the term "gay marriage".

As I have always said, I have a huge issue with teh term "gay rights". It only serves to further seperate homosexuals from the rest of society. The whole "seperate but equal" concept.

Both then.

Yes.

IN Canada GAYS get married legally. Every province expect Alberta (our version of the deep south) has accepted it. There was some protests but at least we were able to talk about it and vote about unlike down south its bad to even consider it.
