I am doing an essay on same-sex marriages and just wanted to know what people think about this topic. Do you support same sex civil unions or do you think that they should be banned.....? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

i am neither here nor there about the marriage

as for same sex unions, seems a bit pointless but i dont think it should be illegal
but in the process, they've been the true renegades, and the true rebels always walk alone anyway

Dunno why but thats fucking funny.

I don't care who puts what in where so long as it doesn't affect me.

Only issue I have is that any child raised in this sort of set up is going to cop some major fucking shit at school.

Kids are cruel, thats life.

biggotry (sp?), racism, homophobia kids learn these things from parents.

If kids are cruel thats usually because they've learnt bad habits from they're parents.

Maybe focus on teaching your kids some more worthwhile lessons on tolerance and love rather then pinpointing what you think is right and wrong with anothers sexuality..

imo

The only problem I see is that yes, kids are cruel.

Do they learn from parents? Yes they do to a degree.

But they are also heavily influenced by their schooling environment, if they are surrounded by kids with conventional parentage, how to to dads or two mums explain to their "children" the answers to simple questions questions such as, "why dont I have a mum and a dad like everyone else?" Not only that, kids do tend to not do what their parents say... So if one kid at school starts giving these children stick because of their "parentage" the rest will immediately follow suit.

yes yes true point.

kids are cruel for a number of reasons, I guess gay parenting is a different issue to the question asked really which is gay marriage.

Whether people like it or not it's there, it's real and it's not going to go away.

I think one of the major points for gay couples wanting to be married is the legal status, for joint accounts, loans, property etc. im not really sure of the finer points of this though.

Im all in favour of that myself... If two people want to be looked upon as whatever status they like thats up to them completely. Its just the third party that has zero say in the matter that has my concern.

little suprised on some of the comments, but if people love each other, then what difference should it make if they are gay or straight. why should they be treated any different, if someone was together for a long while, why shouldnt they have access to the rights of a straight couple? who are we to say one rule for you and another rule for you...

Yeah it may be 2006 but it still doesn't change the fact that its not natural!!

If you let gay people have marriage soon they are going to be wanting to adopt kids and so forth...and really I wouldn't want my children thinking its acceptable!!

I for one don't like the idea but its just my opinion...as stated!!

Ok, hold on... You don't think "they" should have the same rights as "everyone" else?? 035_blink.gif

Just because they are gay doesn't mean that they are less of a human being. They should still have the same rights as others. Sexual preference shouldn't be taken into consideration in determing what rights a person has. That's discrimination.

Although I don't like seeing it (eg passionately kissing), I don't have a problem with gay couples. What they choose to do is fine with me, I'm not affected by it.

My concern is with the children of these couples. Children need a male and female adult present... they need these role models. Without each, there are so many problems that arise. Even though the same sex parents may be perfect parents, loving etc etc, there are still deeper issues that arise due to not having male and female role models.

I don't feel that having a 'father figure' or a 'mother figure' around every now is enough either...

I think children complicate the situation and make it a whole new issue aside from whether gay people should be allowed to get married.

Please explain to me how its not natural.

Do these people decide at a point in their lives that they want to be gay? Do they undertake some sort of genetic modification?

No, they are born that way and that makes them naturally gay.

I'm neither gay or religious, so i'm not an expert on the subject, but the fact that you can say its not natural and 'god' didn't intend it is just stupid. Clearly this 'god' would have made them not gay to begin with.

On the subject of marriages i'm unsure, as clearly it would screw around with kids. But as our civilization progresses and people become more understanding i'm sure it wouldn't be a problem.

I say live and let live.

If you think homosexuals dont deserve basic rights then maybe you should take a look at your own values (not aimed at anyone in particular). The declaration of human rights applies for all humans, theres no fine print or brackets at the end saying "(minus gays)"

The whole 'but their children wont have a mummy and a daddy' argument is irrelevent, having a mummy and a daddy puts you about on par with families who have dealt with divorce or the loss of a parent. Unconventional families are becoming the new convention.

And fuck, school kids will rib anyone about anything. Bring your tazos to school the day after the fad has finished? Better take your sorry ass to the lunch shed and hang out with special pete cos no ones gonna be your friend today. boo hoo.

and you know what else really grinds my gears<interrobang>

if my child was gay, then sobeit. am i going to love them less because of their sexual preferance, of course not. the community at large may give them a hard time, so they should only expect to be accepted and loved in their own family...

Why should anyone care less about who someone else shags anyway?

Some people like blondes, some like brunnettes, redheads etc... Ive got more important things to worry about than someone elses sexuality.

Besides, the world is (approx) 50% male, 50% female. The more poofs there are means the more chicks are left over for us straight guys.

i dont have a problem with it. they are human beings, they should have the same rights as everyone else. who cares if some of you ppl think its "unnatural" or "god didnt intend it to be like that".... stop living in the past, 20 yrs ago gays werent accepted, now they are by the majority.. next step is allowing them to get married.

these ppl didnt wake up and go " hell, ill be gay", they are born that way, why should they be treated any differently.

true children will complicate things alot, but in all honesty i reckon most couples would have a way of dealing with it, and tbh i reckon gay parents would be as good as parents or better than hetrosexuals.

I know Jimbo's views on the matter.. frankly I would be kewl if my son/daughter is happy and healthy..

Homosexuality is as natural as heterosexuality.. how do you explain it still existing if by it's very definition it should be bred (or not) out of existence.. society requires it.. kinda like lemmings walking off a cliff or whales beaching themselves..

I'm constantly amazed that people still have such narrow minds... frankly it makes me sad to know that our generation,Especially represented in a scene that is a counter-culture in itself would hold such a grudge against two people no matter of their gender wanting to make their love official..

I blame their parents :p

Grow up, who cares, live and let live

haha

I seem to remember something like "let he who is without sin cast the first stone"

that said.. I really think the belief in god should hold very little relevance in today's society. I'm increasingly suprised to find people still follow that whole god thing..

again I blame the parents :P

true its against religion esp christianty which im a believer in, but if its what makes you happy, dont worry about what others think etc.

all marriage is doing is acknowledging that they are a couple, and in love, good on them i say... they have the guts to be scrutinised by the public for something they believe in and something i doubt many of us would be prepared to do.

If you think its ok then thats fine!! Like Im saying I would not want my kids growing up thinking its normal!!

And the reason I don't think its natural is because the human body was made to reproduce can gay couples reproduce......no they can't!!


you have stated your opinions many a time and we get it! my mum is a lesbian and has a fuckin disgustin girlfriend who would rather be man, but i respect her wishes and i fuckin dont like it shoved in my face. When they go out the dont show it off that they are gay, they do it at home. I have a lil sister who is 9 years old and no one at her school bullies her cos her mum is gay! and i am pretty sure that she understands what is goin on! its up to the parents what they want to tell their kids and i think gay marriages should b legal as they are only just stating that they love their partners and what not!! not all gay people want to adopt people! i know a lot of straight parents who treat their kids like shit just because they can but then u hear of gay people who would love to have kids but cant and i would probably bet that the gay parents would not treat their kids like shit cos they would appreciate having their own child!!

i would bet that in general, a same sex couple would put alot more thought and planning into having and raising a child than a male/female combo..

WOW talk about heaps of controvery from one thread, good topic bek 040_thumbsup.gif

i personally am all for it, i believe marriage is about commitment, showing someone how much you care about someone and wanting to share that with your family and friends. Its not something that needs to be broadcast.

Whatever happened to everyone being treated equally?

Courtz, you say that your against the whole issue, yet you go on about how girls are hot and proclaim yourself to bisexual...if this is the case, how do you know that your not going to fall in love with another chick? If your against the whole marriage and say that the whole thing is not normal and wrong, then why do u say your bisexual? Isn't that being a bit two sided?

im not wanting to aim this at you, i just want to know what you think becos you see to just keep reinforcing the fact that you think its not "normal".

I dont think ANYBODY can judge whats normal or what isnt normal becos there is no such thing as normal.

Everyone is different in their own way and we should all respect each other for that becos if everyone was the same and "normal" this world would be a god damn boring as hell place to live!

my 2c
The secret of happiness is to make others believe they are the cause of it.

Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place.

I don't like the fact of people of the same sex getting married, I think women are beautiful but I would never marry a women cause I don't believe it is right!! Im not going to start up on my opinions again though, cause its giving me a headache haha!! But I can see your point and why your asking but I just don't believe in same sex marriages!! I think a pash is all good and harmless but I could never develop strong feelings for another woman cause like I said I don't believe it is right!! If you think its two sided well meh Im over it!!

So because you can’t develop feelings for a girl means it’s wrong? 026_huh.gif

I understand what your saying, and I guess it is two sided but thats just how I feel.

I don't care if people choose to be gay thats there perogative but I wouldn't want kids to see them getting married thinking thats a normal life. I don't want my kids to see two guys kissing and ask me why those men are kissing. I think its wrong how gay people are trying to force the issue onto society.

Why are gay people still not allowed to get married and are not entilted to all the rights we are?

It still not socially acceptable, I don't think it ever will be to tell you the truth.

It still not socially acceptable, I don't think it ever will be to tell you the truth.

so because its not socially acceptable, it should be not allowed? hmm, maybe we should look at the example of women voting - it wasnt allowed and could even be percieved that they should ever be able to vote, but did that change? yes, so why cant people push an issue that they have strong feelings for? there are countless times in history where people force change for the better. anyway gay people arent forcing the issue on to society, rather society is forcing their issues on the gay population 003_wink.gif
the best way to predict the future, is to invent it...

the difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that an optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity, but a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity...

I believe it's acceptable...you don't...


For example let's say I'm in a relationship with a woman, you with a man...

I think it's stupid you believe you have more right to be married than I do, or even to express some fondness in public.

What makes you better than me because I have feelings for someone who is of the same sex and you for someone who is of the opposite sex?


What makes our right to life so different?

For example let's say I'm in a relationship with a woman, you with a man...

I think it's stupid you believe you have more right to be married than I do, or even to express some fondness in public.

What makes you better than me because I have feelings for someone who is of the same sex and you for someone who is of the opposite sex?
What makes our right to life so different?


*sighs*

Im not saying anyone is better then anyone!! Your taking what Im saying the wrong way!!

Sorry if it comes across as I think straight people are better then gay people, I guess I just don't like the fact of two people of the same sex being in love ang getting married cause i've always been taught its wrong. Someone in the family is actually gay and it didn't go down well, I guess you could say its influenced my beliefs, but I don't really want to go into that.

Gay Penguin Story



QUOTE(dEElirIous @ Aug 14 2006, 02:24 PM) *

Whether people like it or not it's there, it's real and it's not going to go away.

I think one of the major points for gay couples wanting to be married is the legal status, for joint accounts, loans, property etc. im not really sure of the finer points of this though.



The odd thing about this thread is that some people have criticised "being gay" as oppose to their rights. Whether "gayness" is genetic or environmental or people like/dislike gay people or have gay friends is also beside the point.

Legally the problem is that marriage, as a concept, was a religious ceremony. It the last century or so civil ceremonies became increasingly popular and legislation facilitated recognition of it. Many people didn't wish for religious ceremonies and the law, with time, changed to recognise that situation. But by definition, marriage is between a man and a woman.

The concept of Civil Unions has been introduced as instead of changing the definition of "Marriage", a similar concept is introduced to give couples the same rights, as mentioned by dEElirIous above. It can be exceptionally difficult for gay couples to deal with real property in many areas of law, given the restriction of the definition of "marriage" or "defacto relationship". At present, a defacto partner of a few years can receive greater recognition regarding interests in the partner's real property than a gay person who has been in a gay relationship for say 50 years in their partner's real property.

It is also interesting that "marriage" commenced very much as a religious concept yet some people in this thread criticising gay unions are not religious (according to the other thread). Most opposition at a political level is from people with religious persuasions and who are influenced by religious groups... eg Howard, Bush etc.

Respect.

isnt that what adoption is all about? the couples that can't have kids?

the kids are there as a result that their parents didnt want them or cudnt raise them right... whether its a man and woman couple or two men or two women whats the difference, they are still a couple! they still have the same right as anyone else! as long as the child is going into a family that is going to love and care for that child i honestly dont see a problem

why are you all generalising! its not just men that are gay ffs! women are gay too! yet everyone seems to think that its wrong for 2 guys....

i for one do not agree with ppl flaunting their relationships in public and pashing away and feeling each other up... but i dont particularly wanna see a boy girl couple making out for everyone to see just the same as a same sex couple....

i cant believe how ppl just think its wrong... im sorry but look how many guys think its hot when two women get it on! what if they love each other and wanna get married, does that suddenly make it disgusting and wrong?!?!?!?

some people need to open their eyes and see that society is changing in many ways....

You have to realise that what you are saying is that you are entitled to more in life than I am because I love someone that happens to be of the same sex.

theres been quite a few articles in Scientific American about how sexuality is a continuum and not pure binary (so you can be 90% heterosexual and 10% homosexual). i dont think you can really argue when studies are done and produce those results

it might be important to bring a kid up in a neutral environment though.. if they see too much of one thing they might only encourage one half of their sexuality.. it makes sense not to do that

If it happens that early there are usually boyfriends girlfriends of the single parent along the way too.. but i imagine the same effect if this didnt occur/

But an all male or female where one plays 'Un El naturale' could not be healthy.

Oh and as much as i support peoples decisions to Love each other as the same sex... coz its out there and more people are doing it etc.... i do think its 'weird' and definitely unnatural, people say its possibly nature (genetic) as opposed to nurture, and if it is i'd call it a defect... Just not supposed to be like that.. if it was, same sex's would be compatible.

If same sex couples want to get married or whatever then more power to them. It's their decision, not mine. I don't think it's necesscarily right, but I don't like people telling me how to live my life, so I give others the same respect.

If they want to have kids, well I also don't have a problem with that either really. Sure everyone would ideally have a mother and a father figure in their lives, but as Lisa's already mentioned, there is a lot of single parents out there.

Put it this way, there's plenty of kids out there who come from shithouse homes that are riddled with drugs and violence. Moreso than what people actually realise. Now, if a kid has 2 dads who look after them, it's still better in my eyes than one dad and a mum who cains herself on smack or puts all her money down the pokies so the kids can't eat right. Likewise, a kid with 2 loving mums is a billion times better off than a kid with one mum and a dad who belts the fuck out of them.

What some of you may not even know is that the current generation of young kids are already being taught on accepting same sex couples. There's been episodes of play school for example where children are spoken about as going somewhere with their two mummies. It was controversial as fuck and plenty of people called for play school to get axed, but same sex relationships do exist in society. The kids may as well be aware of what could be happening with their 'mummies' or 'daddies' in their home from an early age instead of suddenly finding out the hard way in the playground.

There will always be kids who cop shit in the school yard because of their parents sexuality, that will happen for ever and ever. But, I think in years to come, when society is a bit more accepting, that the schoolyard punishment wouldn't be anywhere near as bad as what it would have been when we were in school say 10-15 years ago.

Although I don't like seeing it (eg passionately kissing), I don't have a problem with gay couples. What they choose to do is fine with me, I'm not affected by it.


Hey but even if its a hetero couple getting it on like donkey kong when all you want to do is watch a movie its a bit off too (unless the chick is hot and in the nude), actions like that have their place and imho its not in the public.

QUOTE

My concern is with the children of these couples. Children need a male and female adult present... they need these role models. Without each, there are so many problems that arise. Even though the same sex parents may be perfect parents, loving etc etc, there are still deeper issues that arise due to not having male and female role models.


This happens now, divorce is on the rise, is seeing your dad once a fortnight enough?
Wouldnt being brought up in a loving family be better for the child?

I think children complicate the situation and make it a whole new issue aside from whether gay people should be allowed to get married.


I agree, my main sticking point would be the amount of shit the kid would get at school and possibly the child not being exposed to a heterosexual couple

Seriously, for legal status (health care, finance, wills) I have no problem at all, i'm still undecided on the parenting point of view, however a few months ago there was an interesting "australian story" on SBS that has somewhat changed my mind towards it not being as bad for the children as i thought.

Same sex marriage?
Gay people DON'T choose to be that way. They can often take many years to realise, but they don't choose it.

Open Gay people are going to be together regardless of what the societal, religious or family norm is. A lot of these people are perfectly, 100% normal. They have good jobs, they aren't deviants, they are also perfectly capable of loving a child.

I would prefer to see a child bought up by two fathers who actually CARED about the kid and made sure they were properly fed, clothed, educated and loved rather than some poor kid moved from foster home to foster home.

Reewind said most of what I was going to say (Cheers for saving me some time!) and I think that gay marriage is fine. Like I said, they're going to be together regardless, so why not make it a proper union if they want to. Marriage rates in Australia are so low it's amazing, this might help them a bit! 015_tongue.gif

I'm really shocked and disheartened by some of the views presented here. It's no wonder society is as un-accepting as it is. Such views on homophobia spoken here speak volumes about the espousers views on refugee and other minority rights. I would also go so far as to say homophopic people now are the same people who would have rallied against women's rights/civil rights/abolition of slavery/abortion/that the Earth revolves around the Sun and any other of the defining moments in humanity that have benefitted the human race no end. One day we will look back upon this homophobic view as we do on those who thought the Earth was flat: "genuine and heartfelt...but eternally stupid".


QUOTE(Betterman @ Aug 14 2006, 04:35 PM) *

This is a good point. Many species have been documented to exhibit homosexual behaviour...so to those that say "homosexuality is not natural" put that fact in your pipe and smoke it. For animals - free from the corrupting effects of religious bigotry and majority rule (i.e. mob mentality) - to exhibit homosexual behaviour is by definition "natural". They cannot do anything that is not natural to them.

Ok not attacking here but:

If you were in a relationship with a girl, wouldnt this have meant that you would have felt some sort of feelings for her? Therefore have an understanding of why two people of the same sex would choose to get married re: because they feel for each other and would like to take that next step?
001_smile.gif

You dont need to explain though, i think you must be sick of this thread now 016_lol.gif

Anyway i think that if two people are in love then it should not matter what gender combination it is. As it has been said before, why should straight people have all the rights but gays not.

Ive known and spent a bit of time with a gay couple and i thought they were great together, people who are in love and work well together should have every right to do what everyone else does. Society is still stuck back in the old days with some issues though which is sad. There have been gay/lesbian people since the beginning of time but its only really now that its becoming okay to come out. Good on them 040_thumbsup.gif

As a gay older male friend of mine said to me (and ill never forget it for some reason):
"If i could choose to not be gay i would. Being straight is alot easier than being gay. Life is easier being straight than gay. Mum & Dad would be much happier if i was straight. Being gay is tough and very hard but i cant change it even if i wanted to. I was always this way".

Imagine if a straight couple were deeply in love and were not allowed to get married because other people didnt approve....perhaps people need to step in others shoes and just try imagine what its like for gay people.

Re: children - Seeing gay/lesbian couples around may or may not influence a child but when it comes down to it, a child will choose its own sexuality despite what people say.

And to the people making references to people and animals hooking up, if thats how you wana get down then good on ya's 016_lol.gif

Just a quick question to those who think two gay people would be bad parents...
Do you think that just because they're gay, they'd be bad parents? Does them being gay automatically make them unable to care for a child, apparently? Or does your views on homosexuality make them, in your eyes, unable to care for a child.

Wouldn't two people with two different personalities raising a child be better than JUST a single mum or dad?

dunno about the parenting side of things. i don't think enough research has been done on the effects of having a homosexual couple for parents (or my knowledge on the topic is minimal) so i can't really comment.

no shit..

but then again not everyone is married to their right hand like you...

does that count as a same sex marriage?

Like Caitlin was getting at though, i dont think that because they are of the same sex that it makes them unfit to be parents.

They say it's the quiet ones that you have to watch out for......And if you've noticed I ain't said shit for a couple minutes now.

Just a quick question to those who think two gay people would be bad parents...
Do you think that just because they're gay, they'd be bad parents? Does them being gay automatically make them unable to care for a child, apparently? Or does your views on homosexuality make them, in your eyes, unable to care for a child.

Wouldn't two people with two different personalities raising a child be better than JUST a single mum or dad?


No im sure they would be wonderful parents, in a natural maternal paternal interaction with their child.. i think people are ignoring the nature of the situation... males, females, mothers and fathers in nature have different natural hormones etc, we are only animals, im sure we act on such things as instinct!

We arent compatible for a reason! ... Just because a male acts all feminine does NOT make him a female! and vice versa!

Sure i could be proven wrong through longer length research (as dbb said) but at this point i think nature has had its way forever.. and its only in our society where everything is 'you must accept everyones different' that this idea could proliferate.

As i said... Love is Love.. but i am genuinely concerned for a kids health when their natural right is taken just because two people who are indeed 'Different' want to play parents.

times have changed harry, get used to it......

being gay is not something that is illegal nor wrong or unholy....

they say that "God" is forgiving of many sins.... if "He" is forgiving of people who have commited crimes and murder then why the hell is being in love with someone of the same sex wrong????

If you have/had a family member that came out... would you suddenly discard of them for being different? or as you so say it WRONG and SICK?

i didnt think you'd have this opinion and would be more open..... in fact a lot of the comments in this thread have disgusted me!

Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place.

id prefer the term 'socially developed'
running on a long term strategy of short term solutions

You gotta keep your game tight and smile as often as you can, try not to get stuck in work mode. Dont become your own worst enemy, and dont be afraid to see the world through your own eyes rather than what is fed to you by the outside world. Stay true to yourself, and you'll win in the end.

some things have changed for the better, some for the worse

as for the god comments, it is specifically mentioned in the bible that same sex relationships and marriage is wrong and a bad sin in gods eyes, just like adultery. shall we make that ok to do as well? 054_baaa.gif

That is a good point but is just to do with how other peoples parents act, and the way this thread is going, sounds like it would be taught not to do that, coz that would obviously make the damage worse.

Honestly, Most of these cries of 'ignorant' .. 'closed minded' ... to me sound like they are coming from Parrots who are stuck with this image in their head that 'everything should be accepted' ... (So much bullshit stuff is accepted these days (see below for example).. and we are NOT socially advanced at all) and THEY are really the closed minded ones blindly agreeing with a trend in society without actually considering that maybe yes, it is unnatural for 2 x mother or father to go ahead and raise a child.. and it could affect them.

and as someone said about the divorces etc.. after seeing the effect it had on friends etc and reading about it in mags etc... i would have the stupid perception that people can divorce and remarry as much as they want even with they had kids squashed!


And on the 'coloured' people front... in the times of discrimination against them.. they didnt have mechanisms that STOPPED Them getting on the bus.. and it took 'white people' to finally work out a way to do it 003_wink.gif .. which would be similar to this argument, we were just being assholes.

it doesnt
in fact thats one of the commandments, to not murder another human

the whole forgiveness thing works like this. if you commit a sin and are sorry, you ask for forgiveness. if you are truly sincere and sorry, you are forgiven for it and you go on, and dont do it again.

but you cant do something thinking its ok i can just ask for forgiveness after cause it wont work then. and it will only work if you forgive others for bad things they do to you. God only forgives those who forgive others

but thats for the other thread this ones about same sex marriages....

Haha this is really suprising.. I thought a guy of your intelligence would have a little more sense... If you believed in evolution I would have to say that you are setting the species back and ask you kindly not to breed.

The only reason homosexuality has been shunned in the past is because some chump like you wrote it in a big book and said "God says it's bad!"

This just goes to prove that despite being "illegal, wrong, unholy" for "THOUSANDS OF years" homosexuality has prevailed. I see no problem in this..

I ask you this, who made homosexual people? Surely it was God!

Again I will re-itterate. I have absolutely no problem with people of any sex, race, persuasion getting married if they love eachother. Especially if this entitles them to benefits that "traditional" couples get such as wills, healthcare etc...

thats what i used to think when i was force-fed religion when i was a youngin, that it doesnt specificly say the word 'drugs' anywhere so it must be ok...but what about "Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit" or "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil...etc" doesnt that pretty much cover everything (drugs/alcohol etc)?

youre right though, the bible is totally open for individual interpretations, thats why personally i dont believe it & dont see the point of believing in it if with half the stuff you can just interpret it anyway you want (but thats more for the other thread i guess)

for ages i was trying to think of how to word my thoughts.. and you've done it perfectly. i think that same sex marriages should be treated as any marriage.. we're all human! i think they would also make as good parents as any other couple would depending on the individuals of course..

i also have an issue with how the child would be treated by others though.. it would be hard seeing all the other kids with a "normal" family. but then again is that not the same for a child with only one parent or divorced parents? im not sure.. its harsh for the child with any type of parental situation that is not considered "normal" when you are young.

but whats the most important is for a child to have at least one or two loving guardians.. doesnt matter what sex or what sexuality! "gay" or "straight" doesnt need to be a role model.. the real role modelling comes with an individual's personality

not sure if that makes sense i find it hard to word thoughts!!

meh.. who really cares??? I object more to people who marry over and over again or just do it for the convenience/ money they might get out of it as opposed to the proper reason for marriage - that being because they truly love the person they are marrying and want to spend the rest of their lives with only that person. If some gay boy/girl thinks they have found their soul mate and want to make the commitment let 'em do it.... might get them to keep it behind doors instead of the south parklands where i have to see it while walking to and from work every morning and night!

gay marriage... well... love is a bastard of an emotion... i dont know of anyone who can accurately describe it. if 2 people genuinely love each other then i guess everyone else just has to deal with it.

i don't really mind what eh gay community do as long as it isnt slapped in my face. i accept that people are attracted to members of the same sex. i would be lying however if i said i wasnt uncomfortable seeing two guys kissing. i have never found myself attracted to another guy, that's about it.

i do not wish to see massive gay pride marches... if you are after equal rights... just go and live your life. don't draw atttention to yourselves. just do it. the world we live in is all caught up in equal rights. i however believe that this can be a massive crock of shit at times as there is verly few ways to look at any situation without any trace of bias.

normality is the bounds of our own perception. to me it is not normal to be attracted to a member of the samr sex. to a homosexual person, it may not be normal to be attracted to someone of the opposite sex.

i believe that in view of financial situations that there should be recognition of any partnership. however i do believe that sexuality is a choice and a choice that can be guided by our surroundings.

for example, trendsbians.... girls who kiss girls for attention or cos its the "in thing to do"... this wouldnt occur if it wasnt pushed upon by media and made out to be "cool" by society

im not calling for a witch hunt at all. i am just saying that i do believe that people should just live their lives without drawing attention to their sexual orientation. if love is important who gives a fuck what everyone else thinks... so why do you need to let them know. dont hide it but dont flaunt it.

feel free to tear this argument apart. im willing to defend my views
If you want to start an argument with turntablists, there's 2 ways to do it:

1. Say Vestax PDX or Numark TTX are better than Technics
2. State that vinyl is dead and CD's are the way forward.

The first one will continue to go on for years and never be answered. The second however, is open for discussion.

Marriage is a shame anyway, The majority just end up in a divorce now days anway. I work with a 50 something Y/O guy who just imported and married a 24 Y/O Thai girl who can't speak any other english except "Me love you very much". She only got let into the country because she's pregnant with his kid, They got married last week. He even boasts the only reason they're getting married is so she can get medicare and he won't have to fork out for the hospital bill for the birth and how the whole thing only cost $450 for the civil servant in a public park. BYO drinks and pay for your own dinner(cash gifts welcome)< It actually said that on the peace of paper in the staff room you were supposed to add your name to if you wanted to go.

You see that in my book is wrong, he gets to screw a young girl she gets let into the country, Yay for the Santity of marriage.

Although by banning gay unions it has a funny side effect that gay couples can scam centrelink as one's a poor single mother while her "flatmate" rakes in the money...

Another point is when people bag out gay people, they do it like it is a choice thing. Do you really think they just wake up one morning and say, gees I wish my parents would disown me, people would bag me out, bash me and laugh at me, yeah, that's it being gay sounds like a bundle of laughs I should do that.

My point is you'd have to be sick to choose to be gay, however I believe most don't have a choice.

meh.. who really cares??? I object more to people who marry over and over again or just do it for the convenience/ money they might get out of it as opposed to the proper reason for marriage - that being because they truly love the person they are marrying and want to spend the rest of their lives with only that person. If some gay boy/girl thinks they have found their soul mate and want to make the commitment let 'em do it.... might get them to keep it behind doors instead of the south parklands where i have to see it while walking to and from work every morning and night!

Have to agree with a lot of what marc E said - as in I don't have a problem with it as long as its not in my face all the time - it seems like every TV show has to have token gays in it now, which is rather tedious. The other issue to be looked at is that if for instance gay marriages are widely accepted, will it be acceptable for them to raise children?

The most wasted day of all is that in which we have not laughed.

Of course it is better than being an gay basher...what a foolish comment. That is like saying to someone after they have been raped "well, it's lucky you got raped by a rapist, which is much better than if you had been raped by a murderer."

The fact is that not wanting to see homosexuality is not accepting it. Also, it is also saying that being gay outside the confines of your home is not right; after all, then it would be "in your face." So what are Gay people meant to do according to this argument? Logically, if they adhered to this argument they would never be able to leave their homes!

And yes, I am Gay. I don't want tolerance. I want acceptance.

Well of course people arent going to be completely all for it straight away... its is completely different to what has been natural to many people.. it is unknown

Him not accepting it would be lookign at your post where you are open about your sexual preference and saying 'what the hell is wrong with you *string of derrogatory comments* ' .. yet he ACCEPTS it is out there and ADMITS that for the time being he is uncomfortable with it being close to him! It takes a while, when i was younger i found it weird we had family friends who were a gay couple, but these days ill pick up something they fixed up from them and have coffee and chat about shit.

So how about you be more tolerant of other peoples attempts to try and accept something completely different instead of expecting them to jump on the ship and slowly it will all work out for you...

...and what is it with people using crazy rapist murder analogies in their arguments.. its stupid 016_lol.gif

Brett tolerance and acceptance takes time and knowledge. Fear and ignorance is the cause of homophobia and unfortunatley i'm not sure whether much of what we've been discussing here will get through to some of these people, but i guess if we don't talk about it then they may not hear these idea's. Well what i'm trying to say is I wouldn't stress to much about the opinons on here 001_smile.gif

well i don't mind seeing 2 gay people holding hands but if they are sucking face in public then thats where i would feel it is getting pushed in my face. and it's not that it's because they are gay, if it was a hetro couple i would be annoyed to.

my point is that not everyone will be accepting, no offence but if people are happy to let you live your life how you want with equal rights and all that, but they just don't want it in their face, then i reckon it's a positive thing. tollerence is better than nothing imo.

I think he was just trying to make a small joke there.. I'm not positive that he meant 'slapped in the face' as homosexuality as a whole, or just talking about getting slapped by a gay bloke's dick...
There is lots of shit that goes on in this world that i accept, but dont want to see.. I think its the same for most people..

I dont gaf what people want to do, but there is definately some limits... I dont want to see 2 blokes or 2 girls hooking up in the street, just like i dont want to see a male and female hooking up in the street.. Does that mean i dont accept heterosexuality because i dont necessarly want to see a guy and a girl getting it on in the middle of rundle mall?

And i think homophobia is a weird term to apply to the general disagreer...

Phobia's are much worse than feeling uncomfortable with the unknown, you put someone in a plane full of snakes, even if they know they're not poisonous or threatening and they're gonna say, OH SHIT.. THERE'S ALOT OF SNAKES ON THIS MOTHER FUCKING PLANE!

"Tolerance" is an awful term. If you tolerate someone/thing that means you hate it but keep your mouth shut about it.

Acceptance is much better... If someone said to me that they "tolerate" me or my ideals Id kick them in the nuts. Id rather someone spoke their mind than showed "tolerance" to anything.

I wouldn't say homosexuality is "unknown"...it has been around since there has been sex mate. And I can guarantee that everyone on this board has grown up in a society where gay culture/people have been prevalent in one way or another. It is nothing new to them. Therefore, the excuse of "I'm not used to it" is not a particularly valid excuse as to a person's intolerance. I think that, perhaps, instead of blaming people for their intolerance I should perhaps focus more on intolerance society as a whole. But then again, society is formed of people...Catch-22.

Hmmm...you are right; I shouldn't expect tolerance straight away from people. So how long should I be expected to wait? 1 year? 10 years? Like I said, homosexuality has been around since there has been sex. That is, since the dawn of humanity...in species other than our too I should like to add. So...gays have been waiting hundreds of thousands of years whilst being treated as deviants - often killed - and never accepted in society as a whole. I ask again: how long must gays wait for people to accept them? Another hundred thousand years?

Since marriage is a tradition started by the christian church I can't see why many gay ppl would want to get married. I mean it's real purpose when it was created was to make a covenant in front of God (the christians view of God) that u would be with that person until u die. The vast majority of gay ppl don't believe in the christian God, so why get married?
Mebee they are after public recognition as a couple instead of the covenant with God part.....in which case I have 2 words....defacto relationship. Do what everyone else does who is disillusioned with marriage these days. Shack up for a few years and you have pretty much the same rights as a married couple.

Since marriage is a tradition started by the christian church I can't see why many gay ppl would want to get married. I mean it's real purpose when it was created was to make a covenant in front of God (the christians view of God) that u would be with that person until u die. The vast majority of gay ppl don't believe in the christian God, so why get married?
Mebee they are after public recognition as a couple instead of the covenant with God part.....in which case I have 2 words....defacto relationship. Do what everyone else does who is disillusioned with marriage these days. Shack up for a few years and you have pretty much the same rights as a married couple.


I can see where you are going...but marriage is hardly about God nowadays; it has become a potent symbol for two people to show eachother they love eachother (and to have access to the benefits the law allows). A belief in God is not a prerequisite to get married.

As for defacto relationships...gays aren't recognised in defacto relationships. I think it may be different in other states (though none give them equal rights)...but certainly our little state is lagging way behind. A shame...especially when you consider the fact that we were the first to give women the vote, aborigines the vote and the Dunstan era etc.

Oh - and just so people know...marriage actually started as a way to ensure peace between warring tribes many moons ago. The thinking was you wouldn't go to war with a tribe while your daughter lived there. In fact it is still common practice today among royalty...Britain's and Germany's WW1 leaders - the Kaiser and the King - were cousins. Obviously didn't work too well then. The British royals name was actually Saxe Coburg-Gotha...King George (or one of them) changed the name to Windsor after WW1 (I think).

Marriage is not a covenant in front of God if you don't believe in God, Terry.

I don't believe in God. You know this better than most. If I were to EVER get married it would be because I wanted to make the ultimate commitment to the person I loved. God has nothing to do with my idea of marriage... Nor does it have a lot to do with many other people's idea of marriage.

Marriage IS sacred, I agree with the other people who have said that. Marriage is something NOT to be taken lightly, or to be put on TV or the radio. It's a huge undertaking.
If someone believes that they and their partner (male, female or both) are ready to undertake this... Let them. Why should they not? Many committed and happy Gay couples live together already, why not let them make it official so that same loving and committed partner may receive benefits, and vice versa.

Absolutely. It may have been unclear about what I see as the christian church. Perhaps I should have said that marriage has it's origins around the time of mosaic law, a precursor to the christian church.
My real point was about how if you look at the traditional meaning of marriage it is a covenant with God, whereas it has been somewhat changed in modern times to completely exclude a God figure in some cases. I wonder if this is one of the reasons the divorce rate has never been higher? It's been too trivialised by all this watering down?

Why should marriage have to include a God figure?

Yes, other 'marriages' have been sanctified by a God... but you won't recognise that God. There is evidence of what can be called Marriage, or a union between monogamous couples WELL before organised religion was recorded.

Hmmm...I'm no psychiatrist but I want to get inside your thought processes. Here goes...

1. That guy called me a homophobe! I don't think I am. I'm gonna reply and tell him as much...I am very tolerant of homosexuals; just so long as they aren't those really gay homosexuals. I hate those people. But i'm not homophobe.
2. Now...how on earth do I tell this guy I am very tolerant? I know! I'll start my reply by calling him a fuckhead. If that isn't tolerance then I don't know what is...
3. Must remember to confuse the term 'political correctness'. Political correctness in this example would be doing what I say is correct - not being gay in public - rather than what he said - having the right to be gay and be accepted.
4. The TV just said "duty!!!" That's hilarious, because it rhymes with "doody". Which is a euphemism for poo! And we are talking about GAYS! Oh the irony...
5. On Law & Order playing the victim always works. I'll do that! Must say something to the effect of "it doesn't even matter what I say anymore, because you think I'm a homophobe!" Note to self: is there a smiley for sulking? Is that spelt right? Do I have a dictionary? Is dictionary spelt right? I'm confused.
6. Nap.
7. Just to reinforce how tolerant I am I think I might say he is talking bullshit (as saying respectfully "I think you are wrong and here's why" never works...or so I'm told. I wouldn't know, i've never tried it.) and should go kill himself - isn't that what gays do anyway? - by walking into traffic. Man, I'm just so tolerant.
8. Nap some more. Being called something I'm not makes me so mad!
9. Laugh some more; I said "bullshit" in number 7. BULLSHIT. When we are talking about gays! WHO TAKE IT UP THE ASS! HILARIOUS!



here we go again.

what's your point here? tell a childhood story or harp on about me preferring not to see two guys hooking up. its a preference its a free country, its not homophopbia. im not scared by it and isnt a phobia drawn from a fear?

law and order sucks, i wouldnt bother wasting time watching it.

hold on a minute. using your deductive thinking...

does this make you a heterophobe? you are making fun of a heterosexual, so i guess that's it.

"Translation: "I am a heterophobe."
This is what heterophobes who can't admit it - perhaps they want to be seen as open-minded and progressive - say, and this is also one of the most damaging aspects of heterophobia; those that keep their true feelings hidden under the surface. After all, how can we open people's minds about such issues if they can't even admit that it is closed? "

wow that works so well for you if i just substitute "homo" for "hetero"

My whole post was a joke...no need to take things so seriously. Just trying to lighten the mood. I thought it was funny - but apparently I was the only one.

But a few things I can't let slip: you called me a heterophobe (nice one by the way) for saying I poked fun at straight people. Wrong. I was just poking fun at you. But you are straight so i'll call that one a grey area. Yet you conveniently skip over the section where I poke fun at gay people - I said words to the effect of "isn't committing suicide what gay people do?" So maybe - using your logical deductions - I am a homophobe. Well...I do have that nasty narcissistic streak and I do have this sneaking suspicion of irrational self-loathing. Wow that was deep...thanks for the epiphany!

And you say I made no point at all. Do I really need to explain the mechanics of structuring a reply so that you take something that someone has said, turn it around, and use it against them? Oops...I just did.

But seriously - this has turned into a good laugh. I just can't help but wonder if my humour is a little too dry/advanced for you to understand...how on earth could you not understand the joke as it was intended? I'm sure everyone else here understood that the reply was not an argument or rebuttal but a pure piss-take of what you said...which is a surprise, since you used that same tactic (more or less) in your 'heterophobe' argument...*sigh*

i can seet this going on forever, you will constantly claim im a homophobe, i will constantly defend im not. your "humour" aside, nither is going to back down, so just accept you were wrong in your accusations and we can move on. k?

i can understand a joke, and parts of your reply may have had traces of comedy in them (in the likeness that plain chocolate may contain traces of nuts), i spent more time laughing at the general lameness. if you're humour is so "advanced" im sure your vocabulary is as well, it might even have the word "sorry" in it. maybe now might be a good time for you to say that word. until then

i am not a homophobe.... i dont have a problem with gay marriage... (thip)
i am not a homophobe.... i dont have a problem with gay marriage... (thip)
i am not a homophobe.... i dont have a problem with gay marriage... (thip)

sounds like a bit of a broken record...

take a dig at me if you will, i can take that, but at least accept im no homophobe k?

Yeah this is getting boring.

But you keep on harping on about me calling you a homophobe - get over it. Not once in my last rant (or the one prior) did I call you one. In fact, I called myself one! But I will say that your assertion that it's "ok by me" so long as the people you see/meet are not overtly gay or do not do any gay things (kissing/hugging. Which i'll admit I don't want to see any two people all over eachother in public) in front of you is not exactly accepting now is it? And that's fine (well, not really, but i'm tired of trying to explain this aspect of your thought process to you) - each to their own. But I will ask: what if this was "slapped in your face" as you at a friend's home? Or does your "I don't want to see that shit"/"don't draw attention to yourselves" rule only apply in public? You have already said you wouldn't feel comfortable seeing this - hey, the majority of people on this board wouldn't - but my point is this: that you don't like people being gay in your presence. Your words say as much. I say this not to attack you or anything, I just want you to admit it.

And yes - I agree that we should agree to disagree. Agreed?

Cheers.

Correct. The Marriage Act used to have a clause that said something to the effect of "if you get married in another country and it is legal there, then it is also legal here." Lots of gays were using this as a loophole in the law, so they would go and get married in the netherlands, come home and be able to successfully have their marriage recognised under the law. John Howard closed this. I think it had something to do with the war on terror - doesn't everything? - so gay terrorists could not blow up heterosexual insitutions...i.e. anything to do with sports.

I don't really see what the big issue with gay marriage is. I mean if people make that choice that they can be together they should have the same formal rights under law as those who happen to go the heterogenous rather than homogenous way.

Society is not gonna fall apart because we've legitimised homosexual relationships as far as matrimony goes. The church can get fucked because it's easy for them to say oh it's not natural but neither is raping and molesting little innoent boys and girls!

Same sex relationships have always been with us and there is now alot of scientific evidence as to why this is and no I'm not talking about a gay gene or any other such crap! You'll actually find that humans only have slightly more actual genes than a garden worm ie most living organisms have roughly the same gene makeup.

In the end if two people want to make a commitment there should be nothing stopping unless one party or the other will be subject to abuse and it is there that the law should step in.

i think same sex marriages should be allowed, if your really really in love with someone then to me thats it it.. to me that should be enough.. marriage isn't something to be taken lightly but what right does anyone have to tell someone they can't be togeether and accepted as a couple together because you both the same sex. it really isn't any ones business but their own , it doesn't involve you, its their fuk'n lives let them live the life they wanna live.

love is hard to find n it doesn't come along to often so wen you find it you wanna hold on to it n never let it go. (don't believe in god but for arguments sake..) god created us all equal with our own minds capable of making conscious decisions about the person who we become, physically we are made different with two reproductive systems that individually are useless but together they create life which is essential to reproduce therefore keeping our population well populated n shit

Thru IBF they can create a life and form a family so why the drama over if they get married i would of thought a human life would of been considered precious n maybe kicked up more of a fuss about that then a stupid piece of paper that says ya married

oooooooooo my gawd a child being raised by gays what would the neighbours think. <---- thats bout how pathetic all of this sounds!!

i reckon gay men have got it tougher than wat the lesbians have to deal with, n have to put up with being followed bashed and the rest whereas two girls hookup don't really think theres gonna be much in the way of complaints there. every guys fantasy unless you get the other half the tougher butcher meaner ones less appealing on the eyes but really little bit of name calling disaproving stares from the older folks

both lesbians and gay men deserve the right to get married n live there lives like everyone else
but as far as any of that coming to reality lesbians would get it for sure they'd be the favorite n one people could more easily bend to adjust but gay men being affectionate in public i don't think the public would warm to n want it in front of them

I think that same sex marriages are fine, but they shouldn't be allowed to adopt children etc because the child will suffer immense torture while growing up ( torture from school friends etc )
