Your opinion on homosexuality?

Postby The United Soviet Socialist Republic » Thu Apr 05, 2012 11:50 pm

Thats right, homosexuality, a heavily debated topic. What do you think about homosexuality NSG? Me? Well i belive that gays have every right to be together without the government saying what they can and cannot do in the bedroom, however for marrige, the point of marrige is to start a family and well unless they adopt which isnt a true family gays cant start a family together so i think they can be together but shouldnt be able to get married. You NSG?

Marriage serves as a civil union, with many legal rights associated with it.
Here's an example:
A loves B. They are both male. A's entire family are deeply conservative christians. A is murdered on the street after conducting a business deal, earning him millions. A's family hears of this and comes forward to claim those millions as next of kin. B is not allowed to because A and B were not married.

I am a straight 14 year old male atheistic Communist vegan loner. If you have a problem with any of this, I only request that you stay the fuck away from me. If you have questions about atheism or Communism, ask someone else, because there's a 99% chance they can explain it better. If you have questions about veganism, or are yourself a vegan, send me a TG, because I fear that I am the only one on NSG.

Well sort of. A two person family would be empty and hollow, besides one of the main points of marrige is to get the woman pregnant and start a family. And adopted ones would count but i think that a blood biological family would be stronger, as the family would actually have an heir to its thrown.

One of the main points of marriAge is to declare your love for one another, officially. Are you implying that women cannot be pregnant outside of marriage?

If the point of marriage is to fuck, then what's the point of marriage? Why can't you do that outside of marriage?

Oh wait, I think I know. It's because your narrow minded view of marriage is completely inaccurate.

Technically, they do. Straight people also can't marry of the same gender! ;)

Though I'm sure we agree that same-sex marriage should be legal, I just like giving the raspberries.

Not really. Marriage is primarily for love (or in many drunk striaght couples case, stupidity) nowadays, doncha know?

If you dont want to start a family than you should just date. The purpose of marrige is to start a family.

I've noticed a funny contradiction that seems to go on. Whenever the argument is about homosexuality, the Christians point to Leviticus. When the argument is about how archaic the Bible is, Christians always make up excuses for why Leviticus isn't important.
