gay people should be able to get "married" and have the same advantages married people do, but don't call it marriage

uh. isn't that the same as gays getting married?
Quote:
Let the churches cling to their precious word and the sanctity the feel it brings, and let gay couples enjoy the same rights normally attributed to married couples.

the churches aren't stupid. just because you don't call it marriage doesn't mean it isn't.

And colored people should be allowed to use the drinking fountain as long as it's a separate drinking fountain.

Excellent way to make a point, I wholeheartedly agree. Thumb Up

Yes it is, and you're obviously a conservative christian.
Read tiefling's post.

Classification is not discrimination

Not the same thing at all. A more accurate analogy would be "colored people are allowed to use the drinking fountain as long as they call it something else" - who cares what it's called, they still get to drink.

"Marriage" is just a word applied to the act of a cerimonial commitment. It is the commitment that is important, not the name. And in legal terms the law should be applied to the act, not the name. That is what all the fuss is about.

Religious types protest using arguments that "marriage is defined as the union between a man and a woman" then fine, let them have it.

So we create a superset of the union (lets call it "commitage" for the sake of clarity).

Anybody can go for commitage irrespective of beleifs and sexual preference and they get all the benefits that go with it.

There is a subset of commitage called Marriage, which describes comittage between people of the opposite sex.

Like Children being a subset of People, or Girls being a subset of Children, the terms are not discriminatory, just classifications.

Yes it is,

I was following this fine until this. I learned something new, I guess

So you're saying "Just because you don't call it marriage doesn't mean it is"? What the...?

No, that's not right, Hang on lets look at this again.

What nocturnal_anonymous said was tantermount to "Even with a different name it will still be marriage"

And you said "Yes it is" ah so you were agreeing then Thumb Up

So why say "you're obviously a conservative christian.
Read tiefling's post." White laugh

Scientific explanation



Quote:

It's the horny women who carry the homosexuality gene.

Actually it's a gene that makes you lusting for men. If you carry it as a woman, voila, you want to have sex often, and voila the more children you have.

That's the scientific explanation, because the question was, why don't homosexuals die out, since they don't have children. The answer: It's the women, stupid!

Because she stated this:
Quote:

as if church authorities weren't stupid to fall for something like that and still know that it's marriage. They are against two persons from the same sex to be married or live together, adopt, or whatever because they think "they are sinners and perverted".

Besides, I've read other posts by her and I've noticed she behaves like one. And I'm not saying that in a despective way.

i don't' think this to be true at all, you don't decide one day "well i think i'll become gay, look at all those hot guys!" you have to have some underlying factor to make them seem "hot" to you instead of women, whether it be genetics or a chemical imbalance or environment(which i don't believe to be true)

It's probably in the same type of personal decision as "I am gonna be a girl" or "I am gonna be a boy"

exactly knn you see you know me too well! but seriously why is it so hard to believe its there personal choice to be gay...why does everything have to be associated with a brain disfunction. serial killers choose to be that its not a brain problem...people choose what kind of pets there gonna have that's not a brain problem...whats hard to believe that people choose to be gay? the perfect example. 2 of my moms friends are lesbians who live together now one of them has been a lesbian her whole life the other one has kids and a divorce from a previous marriage. she choose to be a lesbian after her marriage failed...she choose it...its not a brain problem

I wouldn't say that it isn't a personal choice



You have to choose to have sex. You can choose to deny impulses.
But to deny HAVING impulses is just ridiculous.

Some people have urges towards violence and killing. Sometimes they will suppress them, sometimes they will join the army or a boxing club or something and other times they will let them take control and become cruel killers.

Homosexuals have certain sexual urges which they can choose to accept or ignore. Some homosexuals are very repressed because of the stigma put on being gay. This can lead to serious problems. The question is, when there's no harm caused by mutual homosexual relationship why should they engage in self-destructive repression? (A case where such repression WOULD make sense is paedophilia where giving in to such urges would be reprehensible because of the harm caused to others...)

Chances are that either:
(i) she used to be a repressed homosexual trying to fit in with society
OR
(ii) perhaps more likely, she is bisexual and has urges towards both sexes.
