Gay marriage

Homosexuals should have the right to be as miserable as any other married couple out there.

For me, there shall be no marriage of any sort.

Unless, of course, I find that one beautiful, intelligent woman who is not opposed to a Ninja/Pirate/Zombie wedding theme.

This is hilarious, I'm sorry, but everyone is getting worked up over nothing. I started this thread really because this forum hasn't had some decent discussion in a while. This was an experiment really, to see what people would say when I stated that gay marriage is bad. I thought that there would be two sides, opposed to gay marriage and for it. But so far everyone has either been neutral or for it. Now for my opinion explained, I'm not against gays or anything like that, I just don't think that they should be married. I think that civil unions should be kept intact, and marriage should be kept between a female and a male (not crossdressers). No, I'm not some sort of religious freak as all of you have depicted me, I just think gay marriage is wrong (my opinion again).

Why ?

I just think gay marriage is wrong

Expermiment? At the end you you say you actully think it's wrong, why do you think it's wrong?

Why are you against it? What would gay marriage even do to you?

It's not as if someone is going to put a gun to your head, tell you to make out with some random dude and marry him and never be able to be with a woman.

Seriously why?

Dude, you can't change my opinion. I just don't like gay marriage, that's all. As I've said before, I'm not against gays in any way.

The question is not, "What can we do to change your opinion?" it's, "WHY?". Huge difference dude. Don't know how you can believe something without a reason. That is essentially what you are saying. You have no reason to not want it but you still don't. People want to know why. Answer the question or they will just think you are a religious zealot since only a religious freak would have belief without reason.

Belief without reason is clearly a sign of either brainwashing or brainwashing. Pick one religious nutjob.

No shit where do you get "Dude, you can't change my opinion." from "why"?

Can you just answer a simple question? WHY is it wrong? WHY are you really against it? What is your basis in thinking it's wrong?

No one's trying to change your opinion.

Ok, my parents raised me that way, happy?

So they just told you to get angered when the thought of gay marriage enters your mind?

...are you serious? Are you fucking kidding me? "Because my parents raised me that way" is one of the most ASININE reasons I have ever heard for being against gay marriage. What the hell, man? Think for your fucking self. I went through the stage of doing shit because that's how my parents raised me, but you need to think about what you're saying.

Your idea of civil unions for everyone, but marriage between man and woman is echoing the separate, but equal idealologies that were VERY popular pre-Civil Rights movement era. No, you're not clamoring for the gays to have their own drinking fountain and have them sit in the back of the bus, but you are trying to say that they don't deserve to get the full shabang that straight people are entitled to.

I've said all I have to say.

Ok, my parents raised me that way, happy?

Ok, I'm against donuts because I don't have a TV set, happy?

You might as well have said that instead. Seriously man just answer the question why and answer it honestly. You are starting to act like Kyeruu except Kyeruu had and still has the balls to take it like a boy scout.

You shouldn't care so much about other peoples views. When you care too much you become the type of person who watches reality shows. I don't give a damn about what people think or say about health issues I stand by my statement that Neil Diamond and the CDC are a bunch of jackasses.
