What is up with this...?

Question

i am not g*y...but why are str8 ppl so scared that g*y ppl are wanting take away marriage away...

I see it this way str8 ppl are having a hard time to staying married, fact the over 60% of marriages end in divorce...so str8 ppl can't make it work so why can't we let g*y ppl marry to see if they can make it work...it should be their freedom to do so...

Answer 1

I agree with you. I'm straight also but my sister has a "life partner." I've heard the biggest argument coming from straight people is that it would take away the sacredness of marriage.

I don't understand how it would make my marriage any less sacred if two same s*x people who were in love wanted to get married.

It's just horrible that my sister is not legally allowed to marry her partner. It really throws some unfair legal situations their way. My sister and her partner own a house together, bank accounts, everything. If something were to happen to one of the legally their family would inherit everything. They really had to jump through a lot of hoops to make sure the surviving partner would get everything they are entitled to if something like that should happen.

I just don't understand how government can make those kinds of laws. Free country?? I don't think so. It's obviously not a choice to be g*y so I don't understand why they can't have the same rights as everyone else.

I think someday g**s will have the same rights as straight people. It just takes a long time for society to figure out that treating any minority differently is wrong. It's the same thing for women's right, and freeing the black slaves. Hopefully someday things will be as they should be.  

Answer 2

I agree 100%... I have been to a L*****n wedding and it was beautiful. Sadly it the marriage lasted 10 years but they are now with new partners and are very happy. I say let them get married, what difference does it make to anyone else? Its their lives, let them be happy!

Answer 3

wow thats a great point lol. i agree with you!

Answer 4

It's simple. Its not about marriage. Its about g*y ppl and how ppl think they are destroying everything including marriage. In other words, its just another homophobic excuse.

Answer 5

Amen! How my being married to my BF "threatens the sacred union of marriage" I'll never know. Any answer I've heard is some lame excuse but I personally think that it's something to lord over us, kind of a "Nyah! Nyah! We can get married and you can't!" attitude. And when I ask them WHY they give me all this "well the Bible says this and the Bible says that" to which I reply "I was not interested in what the Bible says, I was asking SPECIFICALLY how would YOUR MARRIAGE be negatively impacted by my marriage?" Again I get more circuitous answers...

Answer 6

You are right, I think that using the "g**s are gonna ruin what marriage stands for" card as an argument against same-s*x marriages is the biggest hypocrisy ever. Britney Spears divorced what.. one hour after getting married? But you don't see anyone going: straights are ruining what marriage stands for!

Answer 7

I think that not letting LGBT people get married is just a way for the straight society to feel superior over those who don't have the same sexual orientation as them. Kind of like the Black Codes, the made laws that made white people feel superior to black people, except now it's just with LGBT people.

Answer 8

marriage is a right for all...all should be able to marry who they want no matter who they are (as long as they both are over 18 yrs old)
