President Obama Endorses Gay Marriage

Nothing wrong with 2 men/women getting married, but not cool on them bringing up children, I know there are a lot of kids in need of a home but most gay couples use a surrogate which is just wrong, they bring a life into the world and PAY people for it when millions of children need some love and stable life.

So gays should be saddled with fixing the problem of millions of homeless children mostly created by straights?! How about we stop straight people having kids until all the needy kids are rehomed?

Gay people cant have, never will, be able to as a couple, so why should they be allowed to use a surrogate? So many children out there that need some love and a family environment, not some gay couple that thinks its cool to have new born baby, like Elton john parading it around the magazines.

Bring up a child is one of the hardest things a man and woman can do, it is so demanding and drains everything from a couple from time, money and sanity.
 
Your opinion devalues marriage more that same sex marriage does. Take your kind opinion and apply it to straight marriage:

'I dont see what normal straight marriage does in terms of added values, why do a man and a woman who love each other need to get married? Surely they can just live together and thats all they need, theres no need to have any kind of marriage'. So what exactly is the point in marriage then? Your argument against gay marriage devalues every form of marriage..
Maybe you don't understand the role marriage plays in a society?
Historically protection for the woman's position, fidelity for the man, the purposes and values change over time but it's essentially the same social construct that binds society and religion together.
Gay marriage adds nothing to this.

For the historical pendants that seek to separate marriage from religion, well you are just wrong, however tenuous the link may be today doesn't mean it wasn't there.

If you think marriage will ever become meaningless due to two same sex people in a relationship wanting to marry each other,
Not what I said, marriage will decline because Christianity will decline, society will shed it's values in pursuit of nothing and everything becomes just another thing to consume. That gay marriage may or may not contribute to this is incidental, but likely.

then clearly you've never been in love or experienced a healthy relationship with anyone.
You realise that is a pretty offensive thing to say to anyone?
Particularly when you know nothing about their lives.


Your own insecurities are to blame for your percieved devaluation of marriage, it seems to me that two same sex people who love each other and want to get married understand the value and meaning of marriage far more significantly than you do.
I don't think anyone is discussing the virtues or intentions of anyone wishing to get married, only the wider implications of changing something which works for the sake of PC correctness.



Please could you talk to anyone else but me, I've seen you in lots of other threads on OcUK and in every single one there is a succession of people who rip your posts to pieces, you seem to post the most ridiculously blinkered points, then fail to comprehend anyone else's explanation and generally take up space which is better spent addressing other people's points.
No offence, but I don't want to get involved in the frustrating futility of correcting your misapprehensions all the time, I'd rather leave the debate :(

Gay couples make pretty good parents, given that they have bigger hurdles to overcome to get there probably makes them more determined.
I'd agree with you about Elton though, no child needs publicity.

What about michael jackson hanging his kid off a balcony? Straights dont necessarily make any better parents. Althought MJ is a lose example of straight so how about the Osbournes.

So marriage is in decline, or less valid in your opinion in countries with a minority of christians, such as several European countries which are >70% Atheist, and Muslim / Asian countries?

Why am I not surprised one bit that you are against gay marriage as you are against other racist to live in the UK.

as for the topic.

Arguments for historic...historically speaking the woman become a man's property when they get married. Try that for size now days.

Historically speaking, a woman can't vote.

Historically speaking, women can't join the army.

The law move on with the times, and is made by the people that is on this land. Sooner or later, this will become part of history.

The reason, the MAIN reason that people of same gender cannot get married in the UK is because the law states that it is a union between a Man and Woman. It doesn't say "persons". So this technicality forbids people of the same sex to get married.

The Gender Recognition Act 2002 allows people who is of transgender to get recognise and in a strange way...get married.

Person A born a man - sex change to woman - can legally marry a woman.

So it appears to be 2 lesbians, they can legally get married.

However, if 2 women, born female, they cannot get married. All because of their birth certificate.

You probably wont want to watch this video, but I'll leave it here anyone as everything within it shows how wrong you are:

 
Don't have a problem with gay marriage. Have more of a problem with marriage itself.

But why not allow anyone who wants to, to enter 'wedded bliss'?
It can't be anywhere near as bad as giving women the right to vote, or drive.... ;)
 
Tyron,
As a gay man, please explain to me why you would deny me the right to marry someone I love, what possible impact does my happiness have on your life?

I have no problem you getting a civil partnership.

My question to you is why do you want to get married within an institution which doesn't like gays?

They arent asking for marriage within institutions which dont like gays.

They are asking for civil partnerships to be replaced with civil marriages which are 100% secular ceremonies and the word god and nothing about any religion are spoken during them.

No they are trying to force churches to marry them. This I don't accept.
