Seriously though, the word 'GAY' is an overused word. Like the word LOVE. I just love the way this tastes, or I'd love to see how that works. Its like saying "harsh christians are gay."

Just because someone says a certain word, doesn't mean it's being properly used. Heck, being gay during 1900's through 1960's or so, ment that your happy and proud of yourself.

Plus, I have actually known a few people who used to be gay, but decided to be straight after word. Therefore, it was just a phase or a temporarily choice.

I wouldn't be surprised if gay marriage were to come true for all the states in the next 5 years or so.

Sadly, most people connect homosexuals with rapists. They think "oh no, I can't trust this man/women! They will force themselves onto my son or daughter." A sad sad world. I'm pretty sure there are more heterosexual rapists. Rape is a terrible crime to happen to anyone, and not to be a hater but I really don't believe Zanon's "If I can't have you nobody will" scenario. Not saying it didn't happen but it doesn't sound believable. XP



There are MANY different definitions of the word love, honey. It's in no way being overused. Many words have a few different meanings. There are degrees of love.

Love: a strong positive emotion of regard and affection;
beloved (a beloved person);
used as terms of endearment;
a score of zero in tennis or squash;
a deep feeling of sexual desire and attraction.

And as that, the word gay has taken on a few definitions. I mean it's hardly used how it used to be, but hey... don't fight with the whole world. If they wanna make slang from words, then let them, nothing you can do about it.



That's called bi-curious, not being gay. And of course it could be a temporary state, people decide to look deep inside them to see who they truly love. Nobody is "born homosexual/bisexual/heterosexual". You develop your own feelings over time.
And BTW it's not a "phase". But there are a LOT of teenagers out there who are all just jumping on the bandwagon. They all think it's "cool" or "hot" to be bisexual. It's really agitating, especially to the people who really are gay/bisexual.

And gay marriage SHOULD be legalized. This is a "country of freedom", plus there's no harm being done.

It hurts my right as an "Evangelical" (if I still qualify as that) Christian to oppress, suppress and discriminate against lifestyle choices that aren't my own.

It's in the Constitution, but not the one our Founding Father's wrote. I mean the one Jesus wrote: The Bible.

Only, you have to look really hard. And ignore structure...and pretty much just cherry-pick words. Cherry-picking verses really won't even do it for you.

I actually agree with Mega X, to a point. I don't understand why gay "marriage" is always brought up. Why do they need that word? Why aren't they going the more suitable route; asking the gubment to grant civil unions the same tax breaks/hospital visitation rights/etc that come with marriage instead?

I think that's the biggest problem. Marriage is usually a holy ceremony between a man and a woman. That's the christians thing man. You can't just walk up and take it away from 'em. I've heard all the excuses and arguments, how "marriage shouldn't happen between a man and woman who can't/won't procreate" and blah blah.. It's still between a man and woman though.

So why can't a man and a man be alright with a civil union as long as they get the same benefits?

On another note

This infuriates me to no end. Women kissing other women just to turn men on, men pretend-flirting with each other to wet the panties of their fat otaku girlfriends. It's disgusting, and they never realize they may be toying with actual bisexual's emotions.

At least I can deal with the "hurrr I'm a girl and get off to Sailor Moon hentai" attention whores just fine on the internet, but in real life it's horrible. ...well okay it's horrible on the internet too when they toy with emotions. *shrug*

PS I have gender issues someone comfort me and give me a lolly

The Christian church believes that people are suppose to marry and procreate to make more Christians. I am going to get married one day but as of right now, I never want kids. I may, when I'm older, if my husband is going to die or something, but if I ever want a kid, I will adopt. Marriage isn't just about making babies, it's a bond to people share to be together forever.

Plus I know some Christian people who argue how your suppose to have kids, well what about the kids who are already alive. They should get a second chance.



Seriously. Why have people sub-cum to doing these things? A lot of people are only in it for the sex. I have one male friend who said "I would do anything physical with a guy, but I'd never love/date one."

That's not really bisexuality, that's just... some sex fantasies.

Btw.. *gives Hollow a lollypop*
(:

My time apart from IO has changed me. *nods*



1. Christians didn't invent the name or the idea.
2. It's a case of "separate but equal", which we all have nasty cultural memories of.
3. Some groups oppose even Civil Unions.



I've heard this one before, except it was in the context of complete opposition to union. Naturally I retorted that while it was true that marriage was traditionally restricted to heterosexuals, voting had also been traditionally restricted to white landowning males.

I never got a good response on that one.



Marriage isn't just a religious institution, but also a civil one. To call it something else would imply that it's not quite the same level.



*hands a lolly*

Here you go, you ambiguously gendered mammal.

Why not? ;p

I think that so long as it hurts no one else in any way, people should be able to just do as they please without interference from government or other groups. I think homosexuals should be treated identically to straight couples and vice-versa. Humans should all be treated the exact same.

Has anyone else seen the movie Chuck and Larry, the Adam Sandler movie. I point this out, because I actually have friends from my hometown, who did something quite similiar, but thier females.

They never get physical, in any way, shape or form, they prefer men. Yet, they are married by license, just so thier kids can have bright futures. All 8 of them.

I have great respect at what they accomplished.

Just don't get married in a church then. So what's the problem there?

well this is a kind of biased opinion seeing as im bisexual but i believe gays and bis should have the right to marry you cant deny a person their emotional needs or wants just because you dont have the same views

'Cause.

well no marriage you cant say was started by christians people have been getting married before the bible time states the bible time line starts at 8000 bc and the worlds been around longer than 10000 years and thats proven and wicca believes in marriage and wicca is the oldest religion so the technically christianity stole the whole marriage thing and made it like everything in christianity controlling
