Same-sex marriage ban referendum in Croatia

[Caladaria]

People here still do not get it....

[Othelos]

Arguing with those who know no better; who drown in the pit of ignorance on this issue; and who believe that this "gay marriage" is the rightful institution for society to implement. One hundred years from now, they will be allowed to marry; they will spread their ideas throughout the world; and everyone will see that the sacred institution of marriage is destroyed....crumbling, laid to dust. Liriena, Blasveck, Fascist Russian Empire..I pity you three. You did not have a choice as to how you were born..I didn't have a choice as to how I was born...nor has anyone else living on God's earth. But, what you three and your supporters are proposing is something which could disrupt the whole structure of human civilization. This century, this century of progress, of technology, of constant turmoil in the world, will be marred by the adoption of the idea of gay marriage, and we will see, when the year 2101 arrives, that the institution is legal throughout the whole Western World; when that day comes, it will truly be a shame for this world, a curse under God; a shame, for it to pass. For the homosexuals will have that right, and their right will lead to absurdities; within the next five hundred years, or even less, a man will want to marry his dog, or his cat, or his daughter; a no-count fool will be able to attach himself to a animal; and polygamy will take root. The day when a traditional married couple is joined by a gay couple, and eventually, by a bestial couple, will be the day to rue. To rue...In the science fiction projects I have been working on, something like this will never come to pass: in this world, it should not come to pass.

1. How on earth would legalizing gay marriage lead to the destruction of marriage?
2. Legalizing gay marriage will not lead to allowing people to marry a person/thing that cannot consent to the marriage.

If that's what Croatia wants then who here can honestly protest? Ruling against the general will of the state's people would be highly undemocratic.

The human rights of minorities are not a popularity contest.[/quote]
Who are you to argue against Croatia's sovereignty? The UN and all these "social justice" organizations are not a world government, Croatia alone has the authority to make this decision within its borders.

I'm sure they said the same thing about, say, giving women the right to vote or setting the slaves free or letting African Americans vote and so-on and so-on.

Well, yeah, they did.

"Slavery is for their own good."
"God created the races to marry their own kind."
etc.

[Menassa]

I've never heard the word "nigger" used in real life.

But "fag"? That's another story.

Or "tranny".
[...]

That's a derogatory term?

I've got some repenting to do.

1 - It is a choice not a decision. Their lifestyle doesn't conflict with ours, get the fuck over it.

2 - It is ridiculous to think that way, it's like saying Latinos being citizens would only render meaningless US Citizenship, therefor this point is full of shit.

3 - No it wouldn't, stop making up apocalyptic dreams about the illuminati.

4 - Technology is a good thing, and God has nothing to do with gay marriage under the law. Get over yourself and your God delusions.

5 - Slippery Slope argument is not even funny, it doesn't even make sense. There are things that won't happen.

6 - Your science fiction has nothing to do with reality, although it's cute.

Well, that truly is one brilliant piece of shit of a melodramatic falsehoods-filled, logically faulty rambling. Not a single sourced claim, not a single actual argument, and with lots of hubris to boot. It's almost as if you wanted us to believe this asinine, baselessly slippery-slopey, pot-calling pile of slimy crap.

Oh my fucking God, not this shit again.

"Holy shit! Two men getting married! Now people are going to marry their pets!"

Two men or two women are both consenting humans who agree to get married, both of which have legal rights. Dogs and other animals are pets which cannot give consent to a marriage, have no legal rights, and cannot marry. This shitty, overused argument is fucking stupid and I am no longer going to bother replying to you're posts.

Fine...I'm done arguing with you people....There are some people who just don't understand.....Gay people should not have the right to marriage, and they should never be allowed to do so...All you here believe that gay marriage is jolly; two men kissing each other in front of an altar, two women kissing each other...oh, the images! Such a horrible institution would come into place....Cannot bear whenever on the news I see images of two elderly women, or two men, or one "masculine" woman and one "feminine" woman being able to marry.....Cannot bear those images of they being able to marry...........Why God.....Such disgusting, wrong images.

Caladaria needs to travel to a place where it's legal and witness civilization still alive and well.

Really? That's your argument? It's icky?

How mature. Really, no, I can tell you're very emotionally developed that the reason you don't want gay marriage legalized is because you think it's icky.

I say we ban carrot cake as well. It's such a disgusting food.

[The Shia Califate]

Apparently the Croats are going to have a referendum on Sunday in order to vote for a constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage. Personally I'm surprised because I had the impression that Croatia was becoming more LGBT-friendly. Hopefully Croats will turn this proposal down.

Opinions anyone?
