Same sex marriage - Yes or No?

[SirRumpole]

Suffice to say that nothing I've seen with their family gives me any concerns and I'd say they're doing a better job of parenting than quite a few heterosexuals I can think of.

I'd like to get the opinion of the kids after they leave home as to how they felt during their upbringing. They may turn out very well socially and educationally etc but still feel that they missed out on something. This stuff will come home to roost in the next generations imo.

Of course you can say that good gay parents are better than bad straight parents, but lets compare like with like otherwise comparisons are invalid.

So why not this:-

* Make a copy of the Marriage Act

* Change the title to The Gay Marriage Act

* Cross out "between a man and a woman", replace with "between two people of the same gender"

* Pass the Gay Marriage Act through Parliament.

Gays could get then married under their own Act, men and women can get married under the original Marriage Act, and both have the same rights under the law.

Everyone is happy.

Comments ?

Why not just change the marriage act to "between two people" and be done with it?

Then compare those kids raised by gay parents to gay kids raised by straight parents in a society that discriminate against their queerness.

Haven't you seen what it did to Chris Cooper's character?

I know, father figures are important. But so are mother figures. So are loving parents. Those without a "strong, silent, no nonsense" father figure can always have the same from their mum/s. Those without loving parents will have to rely on DOCS, CentreLink and their MPs?

Because gays are fundamentally different in the way they choose their partners.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered.
And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute.
History has stopped.
Nothing exists except the endless present in which the party is always right.

My expectation:

If Plebiscite says 'Yes' - will be accepted by the rainbow coalition as fair and reasonable

If Plebiscite 'No' - the rainbow coalition will undermine and discredit the result at every turn, and simply renew their activism

I think that will be the case, but I don't think the other side will act any differently either.

Interesting, children - man and women.

Well produced video, so i assumed paid performers.

The ONLY thing
I say it again, the ONLY thing a child requires
It is not a man and a women, but

LOVE. That is it.

I'd rather have the love of two biological parents than one and a test tube.

That would be Mummy and Pyrex?

That's what I was thinking.
Those two gay guys were so convincing that I am looking forward to their next video where they will talk themselves "straight".

What do you mean by that?

 

[wayneL]

That may not be practical in some circumstances. A plumber may not be able to serve you because he has too much other work, should you be able to sue him ?

Indeed. I tell people to stick their work up their khyber for all sorts of reasons.

Especially endurance racers, theyre all freakin idiots. If I get an enquiry, its no no no.

Is that discriminatory?

95% of the population choose partners of the opposite gender.

I don't think their is anything about "LOVE" in the Bible. Koran, etc etc being the foundation of marriage is there?

I was brought up to just accept marriage as a thing that people do to make their own nest and to prevent out of wedlock births. I have a feeling that is a tradition that goes back many thousands of years for manifold reasons ... love is merely a transitive phase between lust and pipe/slippers.

That the figure is reducing goes to prove the tommy rot of congenital/genetic sexual bias is in fact a learned response and once the fad is over come another generation, will their be a conscience vote to reverse the insanity that has swept the masses?

My solution is rather simple. Give "marriage" to the 2%ers and get the religious institutions to invent a new coupling "thing" and lobby the govt to give special status to the new "thing" that exclusively respects the sanctity of evolution, survival of the fittest and skyfairies.

If two tansgender people marry is that:

1) two marriages person Σƒn(½P1 + ½P1 =1) + (½P2 + ½P2 =1) = 2
or
2) one marriage of four people Σƒn(½P1 + ½P2 + ½P1 + ½P2)/2 = 1

So what?
