Colombia Legalizes Gay Marriage

Postby Ashworth-Attwater » Fri Apr 08, 2016 6:09 am

Adoption and civil unions were already legalized, and in 2011 the court ruled that the Colombian Congress had two years to pass legislation that would allow same-sex couples to wed.


So, NSG, Colombia's highest court is paving the way for same-sex couples to get married. Gay couples in Colombia were already allowed to form civil unions, with many benefits of marriage including inheritance, pensions and health benefits but they couldn't get legally married. Hopefully, in two years, they'll be able to do that. So, what do you think, oh, dead friends of Nation States? Is this a step forward for Colombia who along with Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay (and a few Mexican states and municipalities) will become one of the only nations in Latin America to make it legal for same-sex lovers to get married? Is this a step backwards because you're a homophobe? Comment below.

Well of course, because that would mean that same-sex relationships will go extinct, which leads to no reproduction, which finally leads to humanity dying!

Does this not mean that such legislation is at least three years overdue by court ruling?

Marriage is an institution of love in the first place, and I see no reason why two people in love with each other should not be able to become married.

Sexcellent. The Gay AgendaTM is advancing. :twisted: More power for the gays, more rustling of conservative jimmies. You guys should try gaying at least once - nobody worthwhile will judge you.

I recommend you trying to find the reason for your negativity to this issue in your psyche and nullifying it to improve your love life and to help you enjoy life in general.
