What is your opinion on LGBT+ marriage?

[The Blaatschapen]

I don't get invited to enough of them

That said, I am in favour of LGBT+ marriage. Though I prefer having marriage as a governmental thing to be abolished, having it open to all citizens regardless of gender and/or sexual orientation is a good first step.

Edit: I only read OP

I don't believe that the Crown in England should extend official recognition to any marriage that isn't regarded as valid by the Anglican Church. It's not an issue that particularly bothers me, though.

both the crown and the church should be abolished, so

[The Grims]

And we do not get the whole "this things has 1000 uses, but I do not see the point of getting it if one only wants to use 999 of them" reasoning

Then that's where we are.... I see marriage as something beyond a state contract likely due to the fact I had a religious upbringing... Its just how I have come to understand the idea of a marital union

So you would understand it if gays find a religion that has no problem with two homosexuals marrying ? Or would you dismiss the validity/worth of such marriages because they are not christian ?

[The Blaatschapen]

Why else WOULD you get married. The whole reason why people discriminate against gay people is by barring them from the same tax benefits heterosexual cisgenders get.

Marriage is also discrimination against certain types of asexuals *nods*

And see. I want those tax benefits while staying single. Government should get out of my boinking business as long as it is done with consent.

That said, until they do, open marriage up as much as possible.

If you're homophobic what you really want to is to not hear about homosexuality. You might think you want something else but this is your real objective: out of sight, out of mind. Banning gay marriage merely has the effect of stimulating attention towards the issue and therefore is self defeating.

If you're not homophobic and not opposed to marriage as an institution to start with I really can't see why you'd object to it.

If you;re not homophobic and opposed to marriage you think gay marriage bans are a good first step and are, even now, trying to convince people to ban all marriage.

These are my opinions on gay marriage. Also, invite me to your wedding plz. I like weddings.

Your third opinion I disagree with. I am not homophobic and opposed to marriage and I think allowing (keeping; I was 17 when it was allowed in my then jurisdiction) gay marriage is a good thing.

Marriage is bad but gay marriage... otherwise the same except for who is in it... is good?

That'd be a pretty sad reason to reduce a punishment.

Are you seriously endorsing whipping as a punishment for being gay?

It's no surprise that gay Muslims are often granted asylum in the West.

He probably doesn't understand that what he said also applies to him either.

No, you misunderstand. Marriage is discriminatory. By making marriage open to more groups, it becomes less discriminatory. Hence why I support making it more open, especially when abolishing is simply not in the cards right now.

If your problem with marriage is that it's discriminatory I don't really think you oppose marriage as an idea.

That it would be easier to ban once everyone has it might be true though.

What is the idea of marriage?

Everyone is free to use whatever symbols, etc. to express their consensual love between two (or more) human beings.

But my problem is purely with the government assigning benefits to it.

From what I take the meaning of life to be in the biological sense, it is against the laws of nature to be gay/lesbian/bi.

You reasoning is backwards. You argue "I believe it should be so, therefor reality must agree" instead of looking what reality actually is and then basing your understanding on that.

Fact is that homosexuality is common in nature and that having a few homosexuals around seems to improve the reproductive succesrate of (animal) populations. Examining why is your homework assignment.

Reality can be whatever I want
