Do you support gay marriage?

[Quiet Reflections]

every body has the "right for the pursuit of happiness" if that makes them happy of coarse. I do not support the idea of a gay couple having the right to adopt children. Then they are infringing upon the rights of others (the kids) I seriously doubt that the kids would be very happy after they were able to understand the ramifications of NOT having a "normal" family. The same can be said of an inter-racial marriage. Its the kids that always suffer.

So should we sterilize all straight people that want kids just so no more gay people are produced thus saving all the children that need homes from having to live with people that love them? There is nothing I hate more than a loving couple trying to adopt underprivileged children. The nerve of them, to be born gay and want to share their love with deserving children. I think alcoholic mothers and abusive fathers should be up in arms that the kids they neglected or couldn't give a proper life are being raised by these terrible gays. And don't get me started on those mixed kids............they just live life thinking they are normal but little do they know that the racist assholes that are looking at them are the norm and well adjusted children like themselves from average everyday loving families are just abominations born of a forbidden love..

This is the same type of logic that proponents of segregation laws used and IMO the facts are that inter-racial marriage has not shown to a detriment to anyone. Those children seem to be just like any others, with many being successful, from business, to sports, to entertainment, right up the the POTUS. This argument in fact was what the Commonwealth of Virginia tried to use in front of the SCOTUS in Loving versus Virginia. The court unanimously ruled that the children of inter-racial couples were not at any risk that other children might not be and miscegnation laws unconstitutional.

The rights of all people who have a different sexual orientation from the majority are today's latest civil rights battle. It seems to be largely a problem for older Americans as younger people just do not see the distinctions in the same light as traditionalists and boomers in a majority.

With the make up of the current SCOTUS heavens only knows how long it might take to rid the US of this form of discrimination, but eventual this too shall pass.

Even if a majority of Americans want to deny the majority equal rights and protection to any minority of Americans, it is wrong and eventual the rights of people will IMHO prevail.

Just my take

i can't believe that there is actually a 9 page debate on a site like this.

transgendered people and their fans should be uniquely sensitive to such discrimination. there should be no such thing as "gay" marriage. there should only be marriage between any 2 non-consanguineous people that want to do so.

I don't support marriage, PERIOD!!! I don't care what flavor you put on it!!!

I think this thread got derailed somehow...

What about my point about by supporting gay marriage, biological sex becomes a moot point and trans people can wed without worry of their marriages being declared null and invalid?

Yeah, why should gays and lesbians miss out on that essential part of the human experience?

It is legal where I live in Washington State... I voted for it, and honestly did not have much invested in it personally. I do not see myself compromising my life that way... "I'll be home when ever I feel like it.... dear". With my 'female' legal status was never clear about marriage prior for me either.

But what surprised me when the election cleared... was my pride in myself, my home, the people I live around, do business with. It was an unexpected boost of positive thought about contemporary life. Strangely too, I look at relationships and lovers differently.
