Re: Same Sex Marriages.

Sorry I have to come back to this one alternative lifestyle ? what alternative lifestyle they want a traditional lifestyle with love and marriage, monogamy and not to have any alternative to that.

Re: Same Sex Marriages.

yes true but they also keep on saying "we want the same as everyone else" - but they are not the same as everyone else - you cannot have the same as everyone else if you are not the same - it is impossible

Re: Same Sex Marriages.

Same sex marriages are not part of a traditional lifestyle

Tradition:..custom, opinion or belief handed down to posterity, long established procedure

Another word definition needs to be changed it seems !

Re: Same Sex Marriages.

Of course they are like everyone else, look my father was gay he was as normal as anyone else he would have loved to be able to marry a man in the same way he married my mother (except he would have had a happy life instead of the hell we all went through). He was a fabricator welder, worked most of his life until cancer took him. Got up in the morning and was exactly like any other father.

Re: Same Sex Marriages.

No no - what the heterosexuals or perhaps most of them resent is that the homosexuals are saying - " we are different and recognize it and don't want to be heterosexual" but we want all the same practices and traditions and customs that have always been heterosexual for thousands of years - why cannot they go off and invent their own traditions, customs and practices - we don't mind - just don't keep in bothering us. It's like getting a tap tap tap on the shoulder all the time - can I join your club NO - THIS IS A HETEROSEXUAL CLUB - B....R OFF

Re: Same Sex Marriages.

That's not what they are saying at all, they are only asking for equality and want to marry who they want, the rest is in your mind not theirs IMO


Honestly all this was said about black people at one time, now we would be disgusted at treating a black person as a second class citizen.

Re: Same Sex Marriages.

Then I wish those who do think like that would come right out and say what those reasons are - we all know what those reasons are but I would just love to hear them actually say it.

Re: Same Sex Marriages.

Very well said

We're not discussing black people, why bring colour into it, if two black men or two black women wanted to call their legal civil union /marriage' I would feel exactly the same and I don't know what reasons you are imagining bv, perhaps you could say what they are? I don't care about anybody else' sex life, it's the hijacking of the term marriage which imo signifies a husband and wife

Re: Same Sex Marriages.

And yet it was the thing you mentioned. I do think that's what it comes down to for a lot of people. As you have rightly said - it's your opinion and other people have theirs. Bear in mind that marriage, in the lifetime of humanity, is a relatively recent event and marriage between plebs in the sense that is now being discussed didn't even take place until well after medieval times; the chance of you and your husband getting married in church at one time would have zero - aren't you glad that things changed?

Because the same arguments used against homosexuals getting married is pretty much the same kind of arguments used against black people for taking the same roles in society as everyone else; quite a good comparison I think.
