well isnt marriage a mostly religious occasion anyways. If gay people want rights, want benefits, want spousal support, i say give it to them.

yeah, it all comes down to religion, that's what all the hallabaloo is, anyway, Ontario welcomes all gays so come here and get married

and girls, you're allowed to walk around topless

Also, if you want to go for a much more psychological approach... it has always been mainly mother/father to raise a child. Isn't it said there is nothing greater than a mother's love? There's a large portion of psychology surrounded by mothers and their affect on children. Not to say though that a child without a dad wouldn't have an affect either.

Is this like the thing people have against transsexual's having contact with their family? 'Cause the distress and embarassment to them socially is the same as a kid being adopted by a gay couple?

I don't see what all the big fuss is about... If they wanna marry, then let them marry. If they can't have kids for obvious reasons, then let them adopt. Surely by the time the kid is old enough, gay people won't have to face any kind of negativity, right? So there's no need to worry about social repercussions.

I disagree. Some people seem to believe people are born gay...well i don't. Its as a result of the environment you are in. If you belong to a society where being gay is OK and you grew up in that society, then at the very least you would be bisexual. A child being raised by gay parents automatically makes the kid more likely to be gay because he has been raised to embrace it. Being gay like it or not is not natural because it doesn't lead to reproduction and natural growth needs to be the default. Placing a child in an unnatural environment is unfair.

Marriage is acceptable because i really don't care but adoption is a big no no

Would you rather see children grow up in an orphanage or get bounced around foster homes all their lives instead of getting adopted by a loving gay couple? What about all the baby Chinese girls who are sold into slavery or simply killed because they're not as likely to be bread wnners for their families as males? You'd rather they die than get adopted by some gays?

Edit: And B-man, 50% of marriages end in divorce these days. That means that around 50% of children are raised without one of their parents around all the time. So the whole psychological argument you're trying to make certainly doesn't apply solely to kids with adoptive gay parents.

I can't believe I agree with Odion about something.

...definitely a dilly of a pickle

I have no problem with homosexuals and am very proud of the Canadian government being one of the first governments to give the a-ok to gay marriage. However it breaks the rules of marriage, so no I do not support gay marriage.

Don't think of me as your typical religious ignoranmus, I don't support marriage period.

Then how do you explain people like me? One minute I'm straight, the next I'm lesbian... Then I'm bisexual, before finally becoming asexual... I have no fixed orientation, something that I would have if it were enviromental... Does the sex of the person really matter all that much? Moreso, is sex the only real reason for a relationship? That's shallow, as far as I'm concerned. If you answered yes to the last question, then I definitely feel sorry for anyone who goes out with you. You're only after getting in their pants, after all.

Don't worry, all of those kids get adopted by Angelina Jolie eventually.

I support gay marriage. It doesn't affect me who's banging who, nor should I make it my business.
