I believe in gay marriage

[Madness]

It's the latest trend. Give it time it will be replaced by something else new and fashionable...

Like religion?

[mashman]

More people are becoming gay due to a relaxation in applicable legislation and an increase in social acceptance. It's a lifestyle choice.

Started by Oscar Wilde no doubt... he was cool and all of the kids wanted to be cool just like him, so they had to become gay. Perhaps it was my grandad that started the trend... fuck, maybe I'm related to Oscar Wilde. @lifestyle choice.

Making sweeping generalisations based on erronous assumptions is also a lifestyle choice. Shouldn't be allowed, y'know...

Before we know it, stupid people will be breeding the rest of us out of existence.

liar liar liar

[HenryDorsetCase]

Exactly.



It's still their choice to be gay. As far as I'm aware, no one is forcing same sex couples together. If they don't want to be gay, then they don't have to be.

You don't know any gay people do you?

I'm curious to know your definition of being gay. Is it not 'a person whom is attracted to the members of the same sex'? Do you control whom you're attracted to? It sounds like you're asexual/non sexual and making a wrong assumption everyone else is.

I hear driving MX5s Commando-style is the next big thing...

As long as it's Mrs. Bear....

Like religion?

If only you knew...

Happy, joyful - can't have these sorts of people marrying, marriage is a serious business

Do you control whom you're attracted to?

Yes but not always whilst aware of the consequences or because of circumstance I may not fully comprehend. I like ample tits, is this because I was breast feed? Still a choice. I like shapely legs, I don't like pre-pubiscant pussies, there is meant to be some cuddly fur to nussle and I hate the prickly regrowth. But these are all choices.

A hilarious take on why anti-homosexuals should allow homosexuals to marry.

marriage is a serious business

Must be because I would be fucking rich if I wasn't married.

Prob why all the fags have all the money eh?

EXACTLY!!!!!
They want it all - they can have it all.

While I'm sure there are some gay folks that are indeed gay by choice I don't think that's at all representative of the majority. If you think back to the persecution of last century no one would have wanted to be gay as it wasn't much fun really.

No - I think its just something that goes 'click' in the head and 'poof' you are gay. Its a bit like depression (well its nothing like depression but I was struggling for an example) where in some cases who knows why it happens to one person and not another.

In my own head - I have zero issues with gay folks or gayness in general as i think everyone deserves a chance to be happy. In fact some of the best parties I've even been to were put on by gay organizations... (don't ask, long story)

But please don't tell me defining your whole life by your sexuality is anything to be proud of and no - I'm not yet comfortable with where gay 'marriage' could take this. I'd be happier with an equivalent term but less so with redefining something existing just to suit a few. End of the day I know who I am and I'm not threatened or worried by it... It just all seems a bit silly really..

Some women live their whole life by being women, blacks by being black etc. It's what happens to any group that is marginalised.
