Denmark has legalized same sex marriage!

[Ifreann]

They would kill no one. As I said, they aren't as organized or as well funded as you think they are.

One man with a gun can kill dozens. And are you really willing to take that chance?

Of course. So are you, even if you don't realise it. I mean, you do go outside your home, don't you? If one of these murderous anti-gay bigots copped that you're into the manlove he could kill you and any bystanders, and maybe a cop or two.

[Ceannairceach]

That is the job of the law.

And that's why no crimes have been committed by anyone, ever, of course...

Rather, its why criminals get thrown in prison.

We cannot stop the crime, but we can make sure it happens less.

[Samuraikoku]

And that's why no crimes have been committed by anyone, ever, of course...

Taking someone's example from before, Neville Chamberlain and Edouard Daladier did everything in their power to appease Hitler. I think we know how that ended.

[Ceannairceach]

Sure, if it will result in better rights, and that gunman off the streets. I'll be one of the dozens, if it takes that.

So you will die for wordplay? Sense make does not that....

Appeasing bigots does more than just give them a word. It lets them win, which does not help homosexuals in the slightest.

Yes, because my town is in a country that has legalised gay marriage, and is crawling with radical homophobes...

Okay, are you really willing to INCREASE that chance, so you can have a nice word?

They gave countries, I am giving a word.

And by the power of Godwin, this debate is no longer worth having. Good day to you all.

Proportions may change, but the result is still the same.

Emperor keep you.

[Farnhamia]

I don't think anyone has died in Denmark yet. Maybe we just haven't heard. How about any of the US states where gay marriage was legalised? How many lives were lost in the resulting riots? Were there riots?

And all the US states where it was legalised were pretty liberal...

They aren't without conservative Chrisitians among the population. certainly enough to burn down a couple of LGBT centers or target the homes of legislators who voted for the measures. Still, no riots, no assassinations. Weird. Maybe they're biding their time? In fact, the only time I can recall conservatives reacting to gay marriage being legalized was in California, when Proposition 8 was passed and actually reduced the rights of American citizens in that state.

Scale it; You are giving them recognition, the ability to change how this nation works.

You never know, one might wander by.

Okay, are you really willing to INCREASE that chance, so you can have a nice word?

We can appease these violent bigots now and then have to deal with them in the future, or we can uphold the principles of equality and secular government and deal with them now. The chances of violence won't change.

[Galician-Volhynian Federation]

'Twas me.

I know. Good example.

*in best Elvis voice*
Uh thank you veruh much.

[Farnhamia]

I know. Good example.

*in best Elvis voice*
Uh thank you veruh much.

Get a room, you two.

[Galician-Volhynian Federation]

Get a room, you two.

I don't like Samuraikoku like that.

[Samuraikoku]

Get a room, you two.

Sorry, can't happen. My heart belongs to someone else.

[Ifreann]

The God-Emperor of Man?

[Tiroladinien and the Litorale]

I just mean, because when homosexualls are normal people, why can't we handle their marriages like the ones of normal people and don't care if it is now legalized and see it as natures way.

Fundies just won't allow it. They just don't understand separation of church and state and all the crap that church and state together has caused.

You know, that's really sad.

[Samuraikoku]

The God-Emperor of Man?

No. 'Tis a female.

The Emperor protects, is all.

[Ifreann]

The God-Emperor of Man?

No. 'Tis a female.

Maybe the Emperor is female under all that armour.

[Samuraikoku]

Maybe the Emperor is female under all that armour.

Considering the Emperor now is at the Golden Throne, I'd be a necrophiliac. And this woman is alive as I know.

Iowa? Pretty liberal? Tell that to John Kerry!

Of course, it was by a unanimous state supreme court decision. But no riots or anything, and its still fine there and marriage equality is still there is Iowa - and gaining increasingly stronger support...

Perhaps the Iowa anti-gay bigots are having secret riots.

[Moon Cows]

I'll pray for them.

[Of the Quendi]

As a Dane I would have prefered if the SRSF government had simply abolished the preeminence of the danish "Folkekirke" as a state church and then left it up for the individual religious communities to decide who and what they would marry. But that said its nice to see that Denmark is, finally, catching up.
