Ban on Gay Marriage (4 Viewers)

[lengstar]

This week's episode of South Park is good about 'oppression'.

 

[Phanatical]

One of my gay colleagues actually opposes the idea of gay marriage, on the basis that it would encourage monogamy among the gay community.

Am I the only one who sees something wrong with this statement?

 

[lengstar]

I don't see what's so great about monogamy.

The main problem I see with that is that he wishes to stop other gays who wish to have a monogamous relationship from doing so.

There are some who are already in a monogamous relationship, and they just want the state to recognise their love as they do for straight people.

If it encourages others I see nothing wrong with it, but it isn't stopping others from having multiple partners.

Loophole could allow gay marriages

Maybe we should have a ban on all marriages.

 

[im an idiot]

Maybe we should have a ban on all marriages.

[MuffinMan]

So, if you got married under the future same-sex marriage laws in Tassie (assuming they come in), would that marriage be valid throughout Australia, or would it depend on the state?

I reckon they should have the right to get married. Who is the government to say that it is right or wrong?

Also I don't see why a gay couple shouldn't have the right to adopt children. It's not like all heterosexual couples are perfect parents.

Edit: Re-defined statement

Marriage is defined as the union between man and woman. The defintion is as clear cut as male and female. Changing the definition is like changing the defnition of a male to encompass women for the purposes of political correctness. It's just gone too far.

Heterosexuals may not be perfect parents, but the stigma, dissassociation and the potential backlash of gay parents adopting children certainly is something of major concern. I believe where possible, a child should the influences of a male and female parent in which they can adopt the social characteristics of each in accordance with their gender, call me a functionalist, but it's worked for thousands of years.

Have to see what the High Court says about that!

Have to see what the High Court says about that! Also what is to stop the federal government from excluding the states from being able to do this? Nothing, Section 109 of the Constitution would protect the power of the Federal Government.

Idealistic, but to the point!

So you are for taking a child away from single parents and putting them in the hands of a couple in a relationship where possible?

Beat me to it.

The world has changed, and constantly does rapidly. Same-sex couples exist, as they have for thousands of years. It's about time they're recognised and teated like their heterosexual counterparts, no?

Gay marriages are fine, but gay couples having babies is bad.

You said you wanted children!

*runs off crying

 

[iamsickofyear12]

I don't think they should be able to get married. And they should absolutely definately never be allowed to raise children.
