Are you in favor Same Sex Marriage? Why/Why not?
NOTE: I read the rules. This isn't political, as I'm not taking any side of a political party.
If this gets out of hand, however, I will close the thread, and erase the OP.
Calmly state your standpoint, why you have that standpoint, and respectfully listen/disagree with someone else's.
The -blam!- filter should not be breached, and there should be no hurt feelings from this thread. I merely want to know the Flood's standpoint on the matter.
I personally am strongly for it.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with it, and I haven't so much as glanced at the chick-fil-a since it was discovered they gave money to anti--blam!--blam!- organizations.
Love is love.
And if Chick-fil-a can say their opinion, and discriminate against -blam!--blam!-s, I can say my opinion and not eat there.
OP Lives in Dallas BTW

I'm for it. But i can understand why people are against it. As long as you aren't homophobic or immature and think marriage is between a man and a woman i totally get where you are coming from.
-
I am against. Sorry I just...I just dont see eye to eye with -blam!-s.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Twisted Balls No, because I don't consider those people normal nor do I want to condone their disorder. [/quote] If it's a disorder why can't they use it as a reason to call in sick to work? "Sorry, can't work today. I have the -blam!-."

No, because I don't consider those people normal nor do I want to condone their disorder.

[/quote] First of all, Chick-fil-a isn't anti--blam!-, the owner is. He was asked about his personal stand-point in an interview. And that's alright, he's entitled to his own opinion, like you said you hipocrite. He has strong Christian values. Second of all, he donates money to Christian organizations, so basically you're saying that all Christians hate -blam!-s, which is not true. So you're stereotyping as well. Tl;dr OP is trolling.[/quote] He actually donated company earned profits to organizations that admit their sole mission is to prevent same-sex couples from getting legal marriage rights. Also how is he a hypocrite. Because calling him that has just made you look rather stupid right now. Yes the owner of Chick-Fil-A is entitled to his own opinion and he is entitled to do whatever he wants with the money he earns through his company. However, no one is removing that right by deciding to not eat at his restaurant because he's tied his personal views to it. Or do you somehow think people should be forced to eat there in support of him even if they don't want to?

Well, I'm a little late to this party, has anyone quoted Loving v. Virginia yet?
-
I honestly do not care on the situation. I'm not the one to judge.
-
I am also strongly for it, love is blind, it doesn't matter the gender. It doesn't make sense why people associate same sex marriage as a bad thing. We were all created equal, weren't we? So how are those that are the g word or the l word bad? (Sorry, it -blam!-ed me out for using those two.) [Edited on 08.11.2012 9:43 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Toxifies The only reason it's an issue is because married people get tax breaks or whatever. In reality, if marriage would give you tax breaks, the gov't shouldn't ask if you are married, but if you have a "permanent partner" I guess. You could even get a partner who isn't even -blam!-ly attracted to you. It would require going to some government office and getting officially partnered. Why does the government care if you are having sex with your partner or attracted to them, as long as you plan on being permanently partnered? Not like married people stay married these days anyway. [/quote] Because the function of marriage as a legal institution is to perpetuate and encourage the cultural standard of the nuclear family, to heighten productivity and quality of living at the expense of suppressing individuality.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Rayzor1995 As long as the Churches don't have to acknowledged it (Which is all that matters) let them marry, because then it doesn't matter. So no. [/quote] Why would they be? I don't know a single same-sex couple that wants a religious marriage. They want a legal marriage. Which has nothing to do with religion. Also it's been legal where I live since 2003. Church's still get to decide who gets married in their buildings. That's not considered discrimination. That's their right as a private institution. But same-sex couples can get legally married in many ways that don't involve a church or religion at all.

I am strongly "I don't give a -blam!-" for it. The government shouldn't even have anything to do with marriage anyway. The only reason it's an issue is because married people get tax breaks or whatever. In reality, if marriage would give you tax breaks, the gov't shouldn't ask if you are married, but if you have a "permanent partner" I guess.

Ok guys, without mentioning ANY religion at all in your statement, please explain to me why ghey marriage is wrong?
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Murcielago00 I think it has to do with the fact that the gov't will give certain benefits to a MF marriage than a MM/FF marriage.[/quote] THIS Is why I want -blam!- marriage legalized, and all companies to treat their employees as equals, regardless of -blam!- orientation.

I'm surprised this thread hasn't been locked yet. Well done Flood. Bravo.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] B4RK1NG SP1D3R [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] krisman1 Love is love.[/quote] Here's my problem with it. I'm not for, nor am I against same-sex marriage, but it's the way they're branding their cause. They say to "support love". They're not doing it for love, they're doing it to gain the same financial benefits as opposite-sex couples. Keyword [i]financial[/i]. Last time I checked, two men or two women can be together and love eachother without being arrested. So again, they can fight for their cause, whatever, but don't try to mislead people just to get them on your side. Be honest about it. They're fighting to get the same financial benefits, not for [i]love[/i]. Because people can love eachother without having to be married.[/quote] Well, true. But Marriage is a symbol aswell, representing a life long bond. I'd dump my girlfriend with less hesitation than divorce my wife.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] master of ares I am in favor of homose.xuality. I also respect the manager of chic-fil-a's opinion. He has a right to that opinion, and does not represent the views of his company. He represents the vies he has, nothing more. [url=http://iwastesomuchtime.com/on/?i=7076]what will happen[/url] [url=http://iwastesomuchtime.com/on/?i=36452]10 reasons[/url] [URL=http://iwastesomuchtime.com/on/?i=19323]This is adam[/url][/quote] This is true. While he DOES have the right to his opinion I have the right to mine.

Until the world suffers a desperate population shortage... any reason to be actively against it is undeniably bigoted and immoral. [Edited on 08.11.2012 5:52 PM PDT]

I'm not against it, but I'm not going to go to a pro-LGBT rally/parade.
-
Of course not. I'm -blam!-, and I don't deserve the same rights as straight people.
-
marriage sucks as far as i know, so if they want to ruin their lives with it i say let them.
-
HELL NO! That's so gay.
-
Yes, because I'm not a simpleton.
