Gay Marriage

[Pear]

Quoting limited to 5 levels deep

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.

...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 know right? We are one of the most religiously based "old style" countries left of all of the industrialized countries. Japan is building heated roads, all of Europe has amazing healthcare, and people here want creationism and religion to be taught in public schools. >_>

I seriously don't get the people who are against gay marriage. It doesn't have any implications for you, you don't have to magically become gay. It's just providing freedom to other people. Unfortunately, religion is deeply engrained in our government that is supposedly a separate entity from the church.

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

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.

I said nothing about showing affection in that post Tye
I was referring more to the parades etc.
They can do PDA's if they want..., You just look away or pretend to text when you see a PDA...

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.

Yes, but religion shouldn't have anything to do with government.

Also, it should be noted that everyone under the same religion does not believe the same thing. There's a bajillion different splits in all religions because of this. Everyone believes something different, and there's actually a lot of Christians who believe there's nothing wrong with being gay.

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

Um...that couldn't be farther from the truth. Most gay couples can't show public affection because it's not accepted where they live. Gay parades are a different situation, so don't act like every gay couple always acts like they would at a gay parade.

I know religion shouldn't have anything to do with government, but there is such a strong Christian influence on this country, there is nothing we can do about it.

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.

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.

ho

You're not forced to go to or watch a gay parade... It's your choice. >_> And they happen, what, once a year? I don't think it's anything to overreact about.

You know, many people think that being gay is an illness, and that it requires help from a psychiatrist to cure it.

And they couldn't be more wrong, lol. It's been proven that homosexuality is something you're born with. It's not an illness or defect or any nonsense like that. It's just part of who you are.

Some people are born with cancer or other health problems. Oh well, i guess it's just part of who they are.

Um...no, lol. Sexuality isn't something that you can change. You're attracted to the gender that you're attracted to, that's that.

Why am I even talking to a troll, anyway? >_>

Um, APA revised the Gay Gene Theory.

The attempt to prove that homosexuality is determined biologically has been dealt a knockout punch. An American Psychological Association publication includes an admission that there

Gender is fluid, and sexuality is solid?

(I'm not disagreeing...I just thought that was a funny thought)

Gender change surgeries aren't natural, lol. (Not that I'm against it, because I'm certainly not, I'm just saying that surgical procedures aren't something natural.)
