Homosexuality in Australia (5 Viewers)

[xeuyrawp]

I think it's an interesting, albeit technically irrelevant, point to look into. It's hardly a peer reviewed journal but it's a start.

eheh... I know it sounds lame, but I haven't heard of it. I'm not an expert on that historical period, but it sounds very dubious...

The reference to 'if not earlier' also really rings alarm bells. If you've ever met someone skilled in palaeography, heard them talk, or read what they say, you'd know exactly what I mean. These types of things can almost always be dated to <100 years of relative dating.

Lastly, from my very limited understanding of the Classical world and how it worked at that time (4th Centuray AD), I don't think homosexual marriage really existed. As far as I know, marriage in this period was essentially a man and a woman consenting to marriage (well, at least the man consenting).

i'LL BE HONEST. Wow caps.

Gay people are a novelty to me. At school we had a kid turn out to be gay, but he didn't come out till uni, but we all had our suspicions. They're such a novelty infact, that if I were to become friends with one irl I would hug them and cherish them and demand Queer as Folk marathons, because Brian Kinney is HOT.

I see I have let you off the leash again, leggyblonde69!

I think the issue is that its a layman interpreting a scholar, in this case the interesting thing to look up would be the John Boswell piece this person is referring to so as to see whether it's Dan Brown scholarly or the genuine article. I wouldn't be surprised, personally, if the early Church had an entirely different set of requisites than many modern conservative Christians expect as we've always known that the whole 'marriage has always been this way' argument is a load of bull.

I don't understand the poll options...
I don't 'support' it, just like I don't 'support' heterosexuality. Whatever you are you are that's all there is to it.

Everybody needs a token gay friend. They're like a friendly dog to keep around the house.

I find it strange that straight people would watch QAF

Um.

Wut?

I mean, thanks and all, but wut?

Queer as folk is fucking terrible.

Gay people are as boring as straight people.

Agreed. On both counts.

 

[kami]

Why is this even a fucking issue anymore?

It's double lol that most of the gay people I know are right wing, too.

It's not the same issue it used to be, really, unless you're an idiot, overly religious or rural.

I think it's more worthwhile for us to do something about the issues that crop up for trans persons, especially since most gays, bis and lesbians run in fear from them (lol hypocritical bigotry). The serial rape, assault and prostitution of trans persons is a rather shocking thing which no one talks about, like ever. There are huge issues too with the politics of the APA, where the policy of how to treat trans patients changes all too often; in the US for example it's now recommended policy to 'normalise' trans patients which in the past has resulted in depression and so forth.

As for the right wing thing, it's all about who you hang out with. I don't personally know a single right wing gay guy. *shrug*

 

[kami]

*points to Rob*

Good point. I'd forgotten him.

So I know one right wing queer.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

 

[moll.]

Hahaha is Schroe trying to redefine the whole economic/social left/right paradox?

 

[moll.]

I have no idea what you just said. But I'll pretend you said what I wanted you to say and respond as such:
Don't worry, I agree with you. It's fucked up if you like economic freedom you're right wing, but if you like social freedom you're left wing. IS IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE TO LIKE OR LOATHE FREEDOM EVERYWHERE?!

 

[moll.]

you are pretentious, uninformed, shit and full of fucking failure.

lol negged.
Speaking of uninformed...

 

[CIV1501]

economic freedom and social freedom dont go together or someshit idk

 

[rougesummer101]

seriously people, age(over18's, not pedo's) sex or race, really should it matter? just allow people to be with the person that makes them happy
