Scotland to legalize Gay Marriage

[Baader-Meinhof Gruppe]

Good. Get with the time England and Wales. As for North Ireland, just hope they get the memo.

[Armed Union]

Because I'm a christian and I believe that marriage should be traditional as it used to be.

Do you know the history of marriage? Are you aware marriage (and marriage like unions) both predate Christianity?

Some reasons I have are, 1. Divorcee rates will go up.

Why will they go up? And are you aware of how high they are now? y

2. Same sex marriage will destroy the institution of marriage.

How?

3. It could POSSIBLY lead to marriage with animals and children.

Hooooow?

4. Think of this would you want your own child to be homosexual. (If you don't have one just think about what you would think if you did).

I don't want children full stop, but if I ever have any I wouldn't care if they are LGBTetc. My only concern would be people like you, determined to discriminate against them based on absurd arguments like "if I let your daughter marry a girl she's been with for five years, why, it could lead to people marrying children and animals".

Which means not only do I want to improve the world for existing LGBTetc, I want to improve the world for future LGBTetc as well.[/quote 1. It's proven. 2. Straight marriage will notbe as common as before. But will still be dominant. 3. I said it could. It's a prediction that lot of people made.

SLIPPERY FUCKING SLOPE

YOU TOOK A HUGE CAN OF LUBE AND COVERED MT. EVEREST IN IT

IF YOU'RE NOT GAY THEN WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE A HUGE CAN OF LUBE

1. It's proven? Prove it.
2. So?
3. A lot of people with huge cans of lube.

[Katyuscha]

I don't see why that'd matter.

it would probably cost me a promotion at some point...

So you value a promotion over the happines and well being of your child?

[God Kefka]

Why are there so many gay marriage threads anyways?

It's not like it even affects that many people anyways... I'm sure there are way way more pressing issues...

Why does it seem to be NSG's signature topic (just wondering)?

I mean, I can't find myself getting excited by this one way or another...

(1. It's not proven. I don't know why you're saying that.
(2. And that matters, why?
(3. A lot of people predicted that blondes would become extinct, it didn't happen. Pedophillia and the like will never be "legalized" as there would be no consent. Your slope is too slippery.

[Transhuman Proteus]

Why would you care if your kid was gay?

To be honest that wouldn't be cool...

Cause then I might lose face whenever his relationship status is mentioned at work or elsewhere...

''So I heard your son's married. How's the girl?''

''... well actually...''

I've never heard anyone asking "how's the girl" - are they asking how attractive they are, or how good a wife/person she is? I've heard variants of "what's his wife like" or "how are they doing".

Anyway, if someone thinks less of you based on who you're kid married... well, it sounds like that marriage is serving as a way of ferreting out people you don't want to deal with. Much like someone who turned there nose up at the class of girl your son married, or the race.

I'm saying IF he's gay he could cause me some inconvenience so I would prefer that he wasn't. Therefore if I could preemptively choose (and for his sake as well), I would rather he were NOT.

Half of me would want a gay child for the 3x c-c-c-combo.

That's not how it works, here. You have to provide a link. And I should thank you to drop the condescending attitude that accompanies "look it up."

Oh my God there are like SO MANY people I would love to just completely cut myself from irl just on matters of principles alone... they advocate the most absolutely ridiculous things.

Yet I can't for the sake of my ''career''... it's so stupid...

The burden of proof is upon you. Otherwise you're making shit up.

How is that so little?

In Brazil we are 20 million.

That's not how it works here. You make a statement, you show us that it's true.

I looked it up, and my google search has proven to me that you're lying.

but there are like 380ish million people in the USA...

317 million.

[Thafoo]

313 million.
9 million of 313 million is 2.8%. That's large enough to have to care.

[The Scientific States]

>not that many

I think 9 million people deserve rights. Also, it's 310milliom.

[Katyuscha]

>not that many

The number doesn't matter. We're still here and we deserve the same rights and respect as anyone else.

[Degenerate Heart of HetRio]

To be frank the entirety of me finds heterosexuality more frustrating than asexuality.

[God Kefka]

Ok. So 310 million.

But just 2% of the population? I mean... it's not like the rest are affected.

[Transhuman Proteus]

1. It's proven.

What's proven? That marriage is Christian and should remain traditional? Or that divorce rates will go up? Either way, I'd be interested to see this proof.

2. Straight marriage will notbe as common as before. But will still be dominant.

Why will straight people stop getting married because LGB can? Especially since it is legally benificial to their status as couples? And do you have evidence the number of straight people marrying has dropped, specifically because of marriage equality, in nations where LGB can marry?

There's quite a few countries that have had it for quite a while now, so it shouldn't be hard to find proof if that is true.

3. I said it could. It's a prediction that lot of people made.

And I want to know how it could. Even predictions need a plausible argument as to how they'll come to pass for them to have any value in a discussion, especially a discussion regarding the civil rights of people.

And a lot of people are idiots. Every time an end of the world clock starts counting there are a lot of people that predict it's going to happen - it never does, because their predictions are nonsense with no basis in reality.

[The Scientific States]

Ok. So 310 million.

But just 2% of the population? I mean... it's not like the rest are affected.

I think 100 percent of people should have equal rights, why does it matter that we're a minority? You're simply saying "most people aren't like you, so you don't deserve rights."
