Let me try to explain my position on gay marriage.
People say that it is discrimination to not have it; but I don't think it is as straight forward as that; people could claim the government refusing to wed any obscure relationships (such as bestial or polygamous ones) as discrimination. However I acknowledge that introducing gay marriage will make some people happy and though it will make some people unhappy, they are being unreasonable. I really wish the government had nothing to do with marriage, but as that doesn't seem to be an option I will support it.
The marriage laws were not written do discriminate against gays any more than they were written to discriminate against Muslims who may want multiple wives.
I think gay couples should have the same rights as straight couples and if the public want to call it "civil union" I think that is fair enough.
But I think they should call it "marriage" because it's simple and it's not like marriage is sacred thing anymore.
Single people miss out on many benifits simply because they are not married or choose not to marry, life can be more costly with single incomes aswell) but i dont hear any protesting about that
Honestly, I'm sick of hearing about it, just let them marry and lets talk about something important.
Theoretically, in a romantic sense, how can any one be straight or gay? Personalities don't have sexes so, logically, everyone should be bi.
When i was young Bi meant that a girl could honestly see her self falling in love with a women and spending the rest of their lives together. It didn't mean, "I get drunk at parties and pash girls" , it wasn't about "spreading the love" or "open mindedness" and it wasn't a popular fad with the under 20's
You can experiment to a certain extent .You cant control what you find attractive.
And that's why some gays were offended at kate perry's "I kissed a girl and i liked it". Because she was making out that being gay is about promiscuity and breaking rules, or being a slutty. It plays right into the opponent hands because that exactly how they want to view gays, just as people who experiment and choose to be gay.
I've written too much
