Gay Marriage

[Deleted User]

The only thing I really hate about gay people, is that if they want to be treated like normal people, then there shouldn't be any special treatment for them. Like in the court system, etc.

...where are they asking for "special treatment"? Is having the same rights as any other couple "special treatment" now?

No, but I've known plenty of gay people that demand special treatment. And my friends do too. There are stories about it, etc. You may have never heard of those stories, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Teenagers being ******** != all gay people demand special treatment

And they're not demanding "special treatment", they're demanding equality. You know, what the African Americans and women did, and they got the equality that they deserved. Now why are gays being held back?!

Other countries will see America as a weak country because being gay is seen as a horrible taboo.

Just edited my post. I spelled weak wrong. lol.

Ok, my point is:

I don't see why people care about your sexual preference so much. It shouldn't rule your life.

...and because they still have a lot of debate about whether Creationism is a valid theory anymore, and because they're still not using the metric system, and...

Seriously, America is the slowest *censored.3.0*ing country ever and why it's regarded as the "best country ever" by the people who live here baffles me to no end.

I'm aware that people have different beliefs, and I do respect that, but there's really no good reason why anyone should be against it. I understand that some people disagree with it because that's what their religion teaches them, but there's absolutely no reason for them to be against gay marriage. It's none of their business if gay couples are allowed to get married or not. Everyone deserves to have equal rights, no matter their gender, race, religion, or sexuality. Rejecting people of their rights is just as bad as slavery. Slaves were set free in the end, and it's well past time for gays to get their justice, too.

Right there is what I'm talking about.

Who cares about what gender a person is attracted to? It's not who they are. They are still a human being.

Gay is a label which I think needs to be done away with. Enough with people being called 'gay', 'bi', or 'straight'. We're all just humans, and that's what we should be called. No special rights (or discrimination) for anyone regardless of sex, sexual preference, race...

It's no more of a label than "Christian", "American", or "male" is...

All labels are stupid. It leads to stereotypes and people thinking differently because they 'fit under a certain label'.

Gay is a label. What wouldn't be a label would be 'someone who prefers to have sex with the same gender', because it's stating a fact about their preference. Sexual preference should not influence rights at all, yet people get hung up about it way too much.

Because "someone who is attracted to the same gender" (not "prefers to have sex with the same gender" >_>) is too long? Things have to have names. That doesn't make them a label. So, by your logic, we should be calling girls "people who have vaginas" and guys "people who have penises". Yeah, I don't think that'll catch on, lol. While I agree with you that people shouldn't be judged by what gender, race, religion, or sexuality they are, there's nothing wrong will using words that describe you.

I agree with this, though there's also the people who let OTHER people's sexuality rule their lives and let it bother them. I don't see why it upsets them so much that people have a different sexuality than themselves and feel the need to make them as miserable as they themselves are.

I agree with comastose, if you're gay, that's great for you, but I don't want it up in my face...

It doesn't "rule" our lives, but it is a big part of it, you know. For example, Andrew is most of my life. Not because I'm gay, but because I love him, and we're going to get married someday. He influences most of my decisions in life because it's not just me anymore; it's us. Any straight couple would feel the same way, if their relationship was true.

Yeah, I know how that stuff works. I'm attracted solely to the same gender yet I do not classify myself as gay. Gay means 'homosexual' which means 'people who have sex with the same gender.' I don't. I'm not a homosexual because of attractions.

so you're repressing your perfectly natural urges, or have you just not had sex yet?

He's referring to lifestyle... <.<

I didn't mean it like that. I was talking about being discriminated against because you're gay.

Well, if you want to discuss my decisions, we can take it to pm.

You see, the majority of this country's religion falls under Christianity, and most Christian believe that gay marriage is wrong. Sorry, but there is nothing that you can do to change that.

But straight couples showing affection is A-OK, right? >_>

If you mean that you don't like any PDA, then I understand. But if you're staying that gays showing their affection for each other is worse than straight people doing it, then that's just not right. Maybe it's not something you want to see, but if you're fine with straight people doing it, then you shouldn't care if gay people do it, too.

Hell, I'd love to kiss my boyfriend in public. I see straight couples doing it all the time, and it makes me so feel so bad that I can't do it with my boyfriend, because the community doesn't accept it.

Straight couples don't show off as much as gay couples do. >.>

I think he's talking more about people who constantly flaunt their sexuality just because they can. Personally I'd rather not see anyone making out in public.
