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

Of course. I don't really understand the arguements against it.

As long as the annoying attention whores (not calling all gheys annoying attention whores, just some of them) stop having parades and stop protesting a flipping fast food restaurant, and as long as they go about their business and don't flaunt it or anything, then sure.

We don't treat people with cancer, chronic disease, or different skin colors any differently, so why do the same with homosexuals in this case? [/quote] Exactly. Great points. Goes right along with what I just said. I see it as, ok, your kink is not my kink, but do enjoy your kink as you will. Everyone perceives things differently, but we are all no different from one another at the end of the day, we all just have different ways to make ourselves happy.

Yes. If you're not, then you're bad.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Twisted Balls I have already explained what's wrong with them. I am talking about the established norm in society from a purely neurological perspective. -blam!--blam!-s do not fit in this norm, so it doesn't make much sense to condone their actions by acknowledging a marriage between two of them.[/quote] Well along that line left-handed people don't fit the neurological norm either. Why can they get married? After all being left-handed is actually far more neurologically damaging and divergent from the norm than being attracted to the same sex. Left-handed people have a much higher chance of developing conditions like Schizophrenia. The difference between being right-brain, instead of left-brain, dominant is also more significant than the differences between a person who is straight and a person who is not on a neurological level. So unless you feel left-handed people should have rights removed you don't really have much of a point to stand on. The neurological differences are irrelevant if they are still able to function normally in society. Also FYI, I am both left-handed and have a slight schizophrenia and legally get full rights. Though where I live same-sex couples can legal marry and get full rights too. [Edited on 08.11.2012 11:31 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Twisted Balls [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Marinade [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Twisted Balls It's more about what's being condoned by giving them rights.

That just tells me you fear things you don't understand and wish to remove people's rights for things they can not control. Which also have no, actual, negative effect on their life or ability to interact with society. Their lifestyle and orientation is okay. You still haven't explained why it isn't. You've just said you don't like it. Who's we by the way? People have no control over what gender they like and it doesn't hinder them from living a normal life in society. So what you are saying is akin to saying that people with different coloured skin are abnormal and shouldn't get the same rights because that would encourage their lifestyle and skin tone.[/quote] I have already explained what's wrong with them.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] The Colonel Okay I'm not going to argue with you anymore because you've made a point lol. Sorry it's late, not thinking straight. But this helps me better understand both sides of the conflict. And for that I thank you.[/quote] To be honest, I wasn't really looking at this as an argument. More as a conversation in an attempt to reach a mutual understanding. I'm glad I could help with your understanding as well. Oddly enough it seems to be something I'm good at. I can explain things in ways people can understand. I used to do it in my physics classes all the time with difficult concepts. It got to the point that my teacher was used to me being turned around explaining something to the people behind me while we were doing work.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] shadow 2648 Then as I have said please feel free to cite the gene and the source of the finding. Because you know straight people only have straight children and blam couples only have blam children ( forgive the sarcasm ) [/quote] That's not really how it works. There's been a study that the more male kids parents have, the more likely that they'll be homo-blam!-. However that's not a necessary prerequisite. Some people just develop that way.

Once again: The topic is -blam!- marriage. Will stopping them from getting married stop them from having sex? Do you think it will "un-ghey" them?
