My beef with our gay rights!!

[AllThingsReptile]

well, my dad is bi and polyamorous,so im on his side, even though he doesnt believe in huge weddings and the word "marriage", he would rather a hippy, life partner ceremony, thingo, he is "hippy marry'd' to a bi woman
and i think that, yes gays and lesbians should be able to marry, why shouldnt they, i think the main reason that they can't isnt that everyone hates them, it the bible, christian people arent allowed to be gay, it's "against gods will" or whatever, and originally marriage was, and usually still is, a christian sacrament, so they wouldnt allow a gay couple to have this sacrament, as its against there religion, just my 2 cents anyway

 

[moosenoose]

I don't want to know what my mates get up to in bed, so why should I care what gay people do?? That's the only difference in my books. Each to their own if that's the way you swing

Openly Gay Student Defends Teacher at School Board Meeting

Disgusting that a teacher is suspended for disciplining a bully!

thats just un cool
but i do think that kid grew up too fast, but i guess he has had to, being bully'd so much

 

[PicklePants]

acceptance and discrimination are learned behaviours

love is universal.

Top mum !!!

 

[Scleropages]

You just wanted to use "Beef" and "Gay" in the same sentence!

 

[Snowman]

Quite easy then really.... support equal marriage rights and then you won't feel so hard done by and disadvantaged lol

Nope doesnt fix that defacto couples still get more benifits.

jeezuz Nat, If you keep this up I'm going to have to put you in my top people to know list. Can I be your Facebook friend?

 

[Fireflyshuffle]

I also disagree with their decision. I am also gay and have been with my girlfriend now 5 years next month. At the end of the day we don't let it get the better of us. Afterall, marriage most of the time these days is a ring on your finger, with a bit of paper right?!? Either way i guess why let the government ruin it? We just keep on chugging. If we want marriage, we can always go overseas. One day Australia will wake up to themselves.

I WAS VERY old school regarding views on Gays........ [ I could handle gay females........lol ]
Its amazing how getting married to a very special person and growing a brain can change your narrow minded views in life.....
I now do have gay male friends and dont actually think of their sexual prefrence but what good friends they are to me and my wife.

 

[da_donkey]

ive said it before and i'll say it again....

I support gay marrige, but only if both chicks are hot.


donks

 

[FAY]

hahaha I don't believe in marriage full stop..lol

This 'till death us do part'. I may sound mean, but if my partner becomes a cranky, nasty, demanding old man, I am walking.

lol Fayse....what do you mean "if"

 

[siouxie]

The pope just came out an said only a few weeks ago that HIV/AIDS is gods punishment to gays. *** ?!?!?!?!?! Burn in hell you sadistic old man! It was also said by him that elderly priests who are found to have been pedophiles in their younger years should not be punished !!!!!

are you sure you are not just making this up and slandering the old man

There have been quite a few labour MP's who have now raised their voice to say they do not oppose gay marriage.... this is definitely a step in the right direction.

there's been quite a few labor mp's who have been paedophiles, milton orkopolous, bob collins etc, this doesn't mean it should be ok for others,

very poor arguments from someone with a vested and passionate interest.

 

[Jk888]

im just going to say lol

 

[waruikazi]

HAhaha i've been waiting for someone like you to wade in.

It was actually Norway's Catholic Bishop who recently made the claim recently, but the pope has been conspicuous in his absence when he should be standing out against this kind of bigotry.

There's a difference between illegal activities and legal activities, comparing a peadophile to two adults in a relationship is not a fair comparison. Besides labour MP's doing whatever isn't an argument, it's an observation of one segment of our population which is usually the more conservative side of our community.

There was something on the news recently about getting an act past in NSW to let gay-couples adopt, but the only way they possibly could get it through was to allow church groups to discriminate against gay-couples... leaving non-church based adoption agencies the only place they would be able to adopt thru.

The churches have way too much control in Australia and around the world.
Even though our head of state appears to be "against" gay-marriage, having a Atheist running the country i still think gives the best chance of such reforms.

-Pope Benedict has put pedophilia on the same level as 'attempted' ordination of women to the priesthood

^ messed up!

 

[Wallypod]

as christian i do not like the idea of gay marriage, as i believe it was created for hetrosexual couples. before anyone abuses me I do not have any issues with homosexuals at all, I beleive that giving these people the right to marriage is dare i say a little insulting, what next? If i want to marry and have sex with my horse then this will be ok to?

 

[Snakeluvver2]

No...cause the horse has morally and ethically has no say in the matter. Two gay males or two gay females have that choice. Marriage or the idea of marriage pre-dates Christianity anyway. Also that was thousands of years ago when many other facets of life that where common then are now considered immoral and unethical in western society such slavery and equality (although equality is part of the debate lol).

I am a christian as well so meh. Being christian, or having a spirituality has nothing to do with it as well unless your a fundamentalist or extremest in which case I wouldn't talk to you. Also if you are christian or religious in any way should you not be accepting of other people/cultures/beliefs including the notion of gay marriage?

Thanks for posting in a polite way and I hope I did the same.

 

[waruikazi]

I'm going to pretend that you didn't compare gay marriage to having sex with a horse.

Apart from that, are you trying to say that gay marriage is insulting to the christian idea of marriage?
