HAHA. I like that.

golden child · 09.17.2006, 01:16 AM

i have mixed feelings.

Tokolosh · 09.17.2006, 03:17 AM

Most of the gay people I know or have met are very clued up about the arts and they generally have very good taste. Intellectual placid people, the gays.

Die Braut · 09.17.2006, 06:39 AM

I don't see any reasons why it shouldn't be legal.
And in Germany gays are allowed to get married.

king_buzzo · 09.17.2006, 10:20 AM

yes. ofcourse

Everyneurotic · 09.17.2006, 10:38 AM

why shouldn't happy people marry?

atari 2600 · 09.17.2006, 10:41 AM

yeah, gays deserve the same right to get married & start to hate each other that straight people have!

I forget which comedian I saw that told this joke.

Pookie · 09.17.2006, 10:43 AM

I'm not surprised you forgot.

Hip Priest · 09.17.2006, 10:51 AM

Of course a committed gay relationship should be accorded the same respect and rights as a married couple, if that's the question, but then so should any two people living together who sign a bit of scribbled paper saying 'we're committed'. I think marriage has a strict definition, ie The legal union of a man and woman as husband and wife with the blessing of church and/or state. I don't think that two gay men or women can fulfil those criteria, I don't think we should change the definition of 'marriage' to fit, and to be frank I don't see why people are so bothered about marriage - what actually matters is a commitment to a life-long loving relationship, and in that context it doesn't matter to me if two people are straight or gay, sexual or platonic, male or female or mixed or whatever.

The issue should be that authority should respect the fact that two people have a shared commitment to each other. 'Marriage' is just a way of government and church enforcing their rules upon your relationship, so f*** marriage.

Alex's Trip · 09.17.2006, 10:56 AM

What about the marriage benefits?

Hip Priest · 09.17.2006, 10:59 AM

As soon as two people have committed, their relationship should be accorded the same benefits as marriage and the same risks as marriage. The level of commitment and responsibility should be the same. It shouldn't need to you to pay the state or the church to make your love 'official'.

I think it was one of those guys from the Blue Collar tour.

porkmarras · 09.17.2006, 12:34 PM

All fine and dandy with the marriage issue.One thing that really worries me is the fickle nature of most gay relationships though.

It sounds like you don't know how to choose your gay friends wisely?

Nice to see you around, Toilet.

porkmarras · 09.17.2006, 01:29 PM

Toilet has a valid point there.Live and breathe in London and you'd understand.

Hip Priest · 09.17.2006, 01:31 PM

Too many people get married for the wedding rather than the marriage. The 'big day' is the only thing on their minds. If the issue were a lifelong commitment to love and respect then people would think more, and enter into the deed with certainty.

Word and rep!

static-harmony · 09.17.2006, 01:52 PM

I agree with you hip priest, on fuck marriage, but they would not get the same rights as a straight married couple.Like you said that if they have a commitment, it should come with all the responsibilties. Unfortunately that is not so.

I've met cool gay people, and I've met shit gay people. Just as I have hetro people. It always brings about the rolling of my eyes when someone makes the comment "Gay people are so cool" or the likes - generalising.. I'm glad they're not homophobic, but they're still not treating gay people as equal, which I think is a point lost on many people.
