Should gay marriage be allowed?

I understand that just because it's law doesn't make it right.

But just because it's not a law doesn't mean it should be either.

The letter of the law says you have the right to marry the opposite sex. That is the law, so what are they being denied? They can marry just like us, the opposite sex! They are not being denied there right.

Dude...married couples don't get benefits, you actually get penalized taxwise for being married.

Their gay, they marry the same sex. why do you have an issue with them? you dont have to live with a gay person, you dont have to watch what they do, just because they love in a diffrent way then you do doesnt mean they dont love people. so your saying we should deny people rights until they turn strait? is that your proposal? im sorry but i dont understand why people have issues with gays! they are people just like you me.

There has never been a gay marriage that has been observed by the United States government. No they do not have the same rights as straits Americans. One of them being that how tax laws are written right now, they do not get the benefits of married couples

I don't have an issue with them. The argument is said that they are being denied a right. That right, according to the law says you may marry the opposite sex. Why does that mean i have an issue with them according to you? The law is the law. I didn't make them. I know i don't have to do any of that, doesn't make them right in doing it. "so your saying we should deny people rights until they turn strait?"
There you go again. What does that law say? They do not have the right to marry the same sex, they have the right to marry the opposite sex just like we do, Get it? "is that your proposal? " No, it's the LAW! Again i don't have an issue with them. They are people who have the same right as you and me, which is? "No they do not have the same rights as straits Americans."
Yes they do! There right is the opposite sex. Why should they get married benifits when there relationship is of no benifite to society? The point of marriage is to bare children, something gays haven't perfected yet other then acquiring someone elses?

The letter of the law said it was fine to own slaves.

Like I said your arguement doesnt hold a damn thing.

Just because the law says something does not mean its right.

Good grief you would think people would grasp that.....

There you go again. What does that law say?

No, it's the LAW!

Why should they get married benifits when there relationship is of no benifite to society? The point of marriage is to bare children, something gays haven't perfected yet other then acquiring someone elses?

Alright if you want to get technical I'll give you they are not being denied any rights.

Now lets change the law so that they are not being punished for being who they are.

Fair enough?

So... if the point of marriage is to bare children... can that not happen without marriage? I am pretty sure it can.... so why not abolish marriage then? People already disgrace it....

Like I said you can get technical and pissy over what you want but that only holds this country back if you want to keep knocking over the smallest things just to say you were right and the other guy was wrong.

Let's stop that and get this country back on track. Let's say "Hey its wrong to punish people who are homosexual by making them pay higher taxes" among other things as well.

So should we make it so infertile couples can’t marry either? Should we cut their benefits just because they can’t have children? Or how about couples that choose not to have children? Because as I remember people still have the right not to have children in our society.

Well technical is what determines the law. So technically if you new they were not being denied why would you say there were? An agenda maybe?

Start writing your congressmen. So they went from being denied to being punished now? Suppose you have proof of that too.

Fair is the way it's been from the start. They want favoritism not equality.

Sure, happens all the time. But not with Gays.

Not me 20 years going strong. Do you know of any gay union lasting that long? From what i read they don't make it past three years, while still having multiple partners. Wonder how they do that?

Call it what ever you want. Just keep emotion out of it. Your to worried about how it makes people feel. I don't care how they feel. Where do you get the anology that knocking over things is proof of being right or wrong?

Let's not and say we did? Denied/Punished it's all propoganda. Coming from a slanted agenda. They should pay higher taxes, they can never consemate the relationship?

Yes I do have an agenda. I want the same treatement for gays as straight people get.

Martin Luther King had an agenda as well.

What is wrong with agendas?



Are you kidding me? They are being punished for who they are :bored:

"Your gay, you do not get to visit your loved on in the hospital, you do not get tax brakes...."

If that isn't being punished for who you are than I guess blacks were not being punished for being black in the 50's? :bored:



They want to join with the same sex. That is not favoritism that is asking for the same rights that straight couples have.



So two people get married because they love each other. The women is not able to conceive... their marriage is not valid now?



Do you know how many straight marriages make it past 3 years right now? From what I read its not many :wink:



I can see you don't care how others feel :wink:



I disagree. It is not propoganda. I would appreciate it if you would leave smartass comments out of this as well :yup:

I didn't say you did. I mean it from a common point of this arguement. Why should they be given these right? As far as visitation they aren't family, at most there lovers. The most they can hope for is a one generation family for they will not have offspring of there own.

tags around the text you are quoting than just " "

Since when do they not allow gays in hospitals? Are you talking about the tax breaks of having dependents? If you are they have to adopt theres.

Are we gonna talk about racists now? You see it as punishment i see it as life.

I believe so long as they try. There is always hope. But not for gays!

There averages are far better then gay. Not to mention all the extra health risks for there life style.
