Yep we need it especially In first world countries where birth rate is already at an all time low. I don't think being gay even exists in third world countries.( In reality I don't know if you're being serious or sarcastic. If you're being sarcastic I agree, if you're not then the sentence outside of the brackets is your answer.)

Yeah that's really ignorant and provess how you can't even take part in this discussion when you only seem to be talking out of your ass.

And btw, less people giving birth could actually be a good thing, do you even know about the exponential growth of human population in the last century? We could be 9 billion people in less than 50 years and I doubt a bunch of gay people can stop that.

well. if you can marry a men without problems, why should anybody marry a women? you can marry a dude without having sex with him...

Yes it does mean it's relevant. Unfortunaley equel marriage has it's downfalls including:

1. Lower birth rate.

2. Children can never be properly cared after and given their real biological needs.

3. Starts to rub off on other people leading to point 1. There us a reason why there are more gay people ever since gay people started leaving more openly and no it's not because they have started saying the truth now because before that would have been harassed.

1. For one thing gay marriage is already allowed in many countries and the birth rate hasn't really dropped has it? So that doesn't really work as an argument. Besides less people having their own kids and instead adopting those that either lost their parents or weren't wanted their parents also isn't a bad thing. Kids need parents and it doesn't really matter whether their parents are biological or not.

2. How can they not properly be cared for? How are gay people inherently worst parents than straight people? They aren't! There's probably some bad gay parents out there, but I can assure you there are many many many much worse straight parents. Straight people aren't automatically good parents and gays aren't automatically bad.

3. So? If people want to be gay then let them.

Want to be?
Why they can be straight?For god's sake ka-pi lol,they can't do otherwise,they don't want to be,is what they are,what they always were and will always  be,it does not change!So it matters to accept their nature and don't feel bad and ashamed about it because there are intolerant or vicious and prejudiced people...

Some gay people sadly say,;-I wish I wasn't gay or damn I'm f@cked up, I think I'm gay,why me e.t.c-,and it's justifiable,it must be very difficult to be gay,taking into account some situations...One of the main reasons that I love gays,I'm very empathic with people that are unfairly scorned...



Marriage between a man and a woman became a norm, not a truth. Semantics about whether gay rights should be categorized as a human right or as something else are just that, semantics. It doesn't change the fact that, from an ethics point of view, the restriction of marriage against two people of the same sex is just as wrong as racial segregation was over 50 years ago. It may not be a "human right," but it sure as hell is a social right.

The growth has been extremely visible in third world countries but in first world countries that growth is actually turning into a decline

That comment was supposed to be more of a same-sex marriage would be more beneficial in third world countries type of argument. It obviously exists but you don't see anyone fighting for same-sex marriage over there, a place where such a thing is really needed.

 

Also I have every right to be in this argument as much even if I was totally against same-sex marriage. There is a reason why same sex marriage is not legal everywhere even in first world countries. If I'm talking out of my ass than so are all those governments which do not allow same-sex marriage. 



Send a Friend Request On PSN :P

People should be able to register their relationships officially, no matter the genders of the people involved. Now I consider that different from marriage, and marriage should be a thing of communities (e.g. religious communities) with no power in the legal system - and that marriage should be done with the rules imposed by the community. If the religious community has marriage and doesn't want gay people to have marriage, fine, but that marriage shouldn't have any legal power. Problem?

That is, seperate law and culture, including religion.

I do not wish to fight this opinion. In my OG comment I said Same-sex marriage should be allowed but it should also be kept under check, because it does indeed have it repercussions. If people want to be gay fine by me and at the end of the day I don't really care what you do in your bedroom, but stating that it's none of the generals public ( non-gays ) business is really not true as at the end of the day this is a wake up call for society.

I also want to explain on point 2 though. If you actually believe that a mother and father can be replaced with a mother and a mother or a father and a father, you should know that raising a child requires more than just love.

I still vehemently disagree with your first bit.

As for the second, I see no reason two same sex parents can't raise a child just as well as different sex ones. I grew up with just one parent so I've personally seen that having one of each gender certainly isn't necessary.

im confused, your example contradicts your argument...

Reduced birthrate? that's something we DESPERATELY need.

Yep we need it especially In first world countries where birth rate is already at an all time low. I don't think being gay even exists in third world countries.( In reality I don't know if you're being serious or sarcastic.

Only five countries on earth have experience a reduction in popilation over the past 20 years,

Nauru
Albania
Hungary
Bulgaria
Russia

Nauru population decline is largely down to the younger generation not wishing to continie long standing traditions and leaving the island to make new lives for themselves.

The rest have experienced heavy immigration to neighbouring countries with a large portion of Albanian, Bulgarian and Hungarian migrating to neighbouring France, UK and Ireland, meanwhile russian population reduction is also a result of residents moving, however russians differ slightly in that their emigration patterns are much wider spread, either way the population decline is down to moving to greener pastures rather than a reduction in populace as a result of birth to death ratios.

Just how long do you think the human race as a whole can continue to expand in populace? Current UNFPA estimates put the global population hitting 8 Billion by 2025, 9 Billion by 2043 which is also around the point where most experts agree the global reserves of oil will have been used, a decade or so later reserves of gas will be gone and then by 2083 just as the population hits 10 billion, the last of the fossil fuels, coal, will expire too.

At what point do you think the hundreds of millions of cars no longer able to function, thousands of power stations that rely on fossil fuel, and as a direct result, a rapid increase in electricity and gas prices will effect the average consumer when the demand for such resources has increased over this timeframe to accomodate an additional 3 billion humans, an increase of over 35% from todays numbers?

What we NEED is a reduction in birthrates for a few decades so that demand for resources decreases along with it, until a viable clean, reliable and safe solution is found for the planets power and resource requirements.

Governments don't like population decrease because with it comes a reduction in taxable income, taxable spending and a financial flow.

Hospitals don't have enough beds for patients, Prisons are over capacity, cemetarys are starting to refuse the coffin-burrial of loves ones in favor of cremation as a result of running out of land to bury the dead, yet you think the best answer is for the population to continue to increase?

Also, refusing marriage between gay partners or implying that they should be "kept under check" is laughable.

Gay people will still be gay even if you tell them they can't get married, refusing marriage doesn't make them suddenly viable parents.



Interesting to note is that nazi germany persecuted all the lgbt individuals they could gather. The movie paragraph 175 and several historical documents attest to this.
So unless society wants to dig itself out of nazi like ideology for good, they better stop enforcing discrimination and lack of rights for certain groups of people.
Interesting also is that they used propoganda including the desired core family, and the straight family to be promoted as the absolute ideal. Not much unlike what certain people do to this date.

How does that contradict? I'm pointing out that both a mother and a father aren't necessary and that children could be raised just fine with either. So then wouldn't it be logical to conclude that if having one of each gender isn't necessary then having two of the same gender would in no way hinder the ability to raise a child?

sure, i understand your argument, and it is valid, but your example contradicts the argument. 



Ah the good old times... Wish I could marry a 13 year old girl like they used to..
