It's when 2 gay people get married.

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

My personal opinion is marriage is typically thought of as sort of a religious ceremony but it has become the norm, in that two atheists are not necessarily having a religious ceremony. I think people who are otherwise not religious, because MOST people believe in god, have some religion in their ceremony (getting married by a minister etc) you do not need to even have a ceremony to be legally married. (I think that is called getting eloped, could be wrong about the technical word)

It really comes down to the only thing it means is that according to a paper from the state, you are "married". which in some ways provides things like tax breaks etc as well as other positive things that people get married for. Also it is a sign of loyalty and commitment (yes adultery can come into play but I imagine most husbands and wives do not cheat on one another)

So many people are opposed to homosexuals marrying because it violates their perceived sense of religion or simply because they dont like the idea, they think it is a heterosexual thing.

I am a heterosexual and I really dont see what the issue is. I know some states have enacted laws sworn in by the voters that states only an adult male (a man) can only legally marry an adult female (a woman) although I am under the assumption that for the most part, this is defacto anyway because although homosexuals may choose to have ceremonies and call themselves married, they are not legally so in the eyes of the state even if they live in a state without said recently enacted laws (most of them by the way)

I would consider, for example, the "marriage" between Melissa Etheridge and her wife, actress Tammy Lynn Michaels to be a marriage because they had a ceremony, and they consider themselves married. I consider them married and do not give a flying rats ass about some piece of paper from the state making it official. (dont forget you need also need a license in the first place to get married)

I thought before a lot of the civil rights that started to get into this as of recently that vermont was the only state you could legally marry two people of the same sex.

I am heterosexual and I really dont see how it is any of my business if two homosexuals want to have sex, or to get married. it does not affect me in any way. I cant stop them from doing what they do nor do I want to in the first place. I could be really bigoted against homosexuals if I wanted to but I could never do anything because homosexuality has always been around and always will be around. Many animals can be homosexual as well (everything from chimpanzees to dolphins to rats have been proven to be capable of homosexuality)

not my god damn bidness.

I can't figure out how in this day and age gay marriage is still considered taboo. Everyone i know has a relative or friend that is gay. My best friend is gay, so obviously i think it is stupid to deny him the right to get married. I thought religion and the state were supposed to be separate. Yet you have to get a license to get married, but they say gay marriage is against god. That is their whole argument.

Anyways, I already have 2 pages written critiquing an article about this subject.

So, I just need to expand that I think. Write a page or 2 about possible critiques those bible fuckers could say to me. Then retort and be like "no mang you are wrong stfu"

upon research:


At present, Massachusetts is the only state in the United States that allow same-sex couples to obtain marriage licenses.

this applies to things like claiming inheritance and other benefits of marriage that opposite sex marriage can have.

most states ban gay marriage defacto, as there is no specific law stating that you cannot, per se (I think) but other factors in place make it so that marriages and civil unions are defacto illegal. Only New Mexico and one other state recognize foreign marriages (I dont know if that applies to all or just same sex, I would imagine same sex or there would be a lot of people married in other countries whom would have to remarry here) so that if two homosexuals marry in a country where they can do that (Spain, Holland) these are the only two states that recognize that whatsoever. Some European countries and even some states recognize civil unions, although I dont know what the fuck this means, other than less perceived benefits (kinda like not giving women or people recognized as negros the right to vote, which was a fact in our country at one time I do not know how that worked per se, is a quadroon, meaning 3/4ths caucasian and 1/4 black allowed to vote, thats a different subject)

this is one of those things that is convoluted in america simply because we have 50 different states with 50 different lsets of laws.

there is no fucking gene that causes homosexuality! A gay woman or a gay man who does have heterosexual sex and has offspring (it happens all of the time) is no more likely to have a homosexual child than anyone else. People are born homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual. it has nothing to do with genetics and that said, nobody really knows why a person is born with any particular sexual orientation.

homosexuals, male or female who RAISE a child (whether adopted or the result of artificial insemination) are proven to be no more likely to have the child grow up to be homosexual than a man and a woman who have a child. Your sexual orientation is born into you.
