Same-Sex Marriage: Point of View

[Osterr]

I think, to quote an image, which I quoted in another thread, this sums up my personal beliefs:

Jesus had two dads, why can't I?

[The Perpetual Light]

While I certainly don't condone homophobia or hatred towards people for their sexual orientation, I also have the right to object to a person's actions, and I sincerely believe that marriage as an institution must be kept between 1 man and 1 woman.

See that's funny because you're virulently homophobic.

Sorry, did I advocate violence towards homosexuals or demand that they forcibly be sent to "straight camps" or anything like that? No, I didn't. There are in fact people opposed to same-sex marriage who are not homophobic. In fact, I'd argue that most aren't.

[The Steel Magnolia]

And there are people opposed to interracial marriage who aren't racist.

Now, you can be against the institution of marriage and not be a homophobe, but you evidently are not.

no, opposition to gays not having equal rights is clear-cut homophobia and is abominable no matter how do you spin it.

if you don't like to be called prejudiced, tough. don't be prejudiced.

[Normandywe]

I am of the opinion that marriage ought to be abandoned altogether--no one should marry, and we must handle 'love' in an entirely different manner.

Why?

Frankly, homosexuality is unnatural and marriage is such an important institution in the world that I think we need to do everything to ensure that stable heterosexual marriages are the foundation of the family (before you ask, I am also deeply opposed to divorce and open relationships).

And the numerous legal incentives should be what, done away with?

What a terrible idea.

Who says it is unnatural?

Which is homophobic.

1) Homosexuality is actually natural. It happens in nature...and it's rather widespread.
2) Marriage is, by definition, unnatural.
3) And how does same-sex marriage hinder the stability of heterosexual marriage?
4) I guess all the children of same-sex couples just...don't exist and don't deserve rights, do they?

You lack perception: Marriage is a tradition that we can do quite fine without, and, if anything, the 'law' must be separated from it entirely.

Rights are for White Anglo-Saxon Protestants only.

General is an out-of-character thread bud, you post your opinions here, not your nation's

Why and how?

It is you who is burdened with evidencing your side; I am at no liberty to do so, as I am on the side of 'nothing', as described by the general idea of a 'burden of proof'.

Marriage has financial benifits for the participants.

Concubines can operate fine nonetheless, as conditions can be prepared to permit as much.

Uh no, whores shouldn't get benefits.

Not once have I referenced 'whores', and for this reason alone I cannot consider you a serious person.

I think he considers concubines to be whores. Nothing can be furthest from the truth but hey, what can you do?
