Should gays be allowed to wed?

[Tsoprano]

No, its not natural. But I really dont care personally.

[Dark Horse]

No. There's a big difference between accepting gays and teaching others, especially kids, but society as a whole, that a conventional marriage and a gay union are essentially the same. This is a sign of a society that has lost its sense of direction. This shows a serious lack of vision.

I was watching NBC news while eating dinner a half hour or so ago, and Ill be damned if there arent two guys kissing after getting married , not a quick one on the cheek, but one with lips locked. Id like to think Californians are going to overturn this when it comes to a vote this Fall.

[Shark79]

Gays should be married when dead.

[woodsy5822]

Yes all species should be free.

[the_orangekat]

im totally against it for the simple reason im against a man and a woman getting married. Just a stupid thing to do. A crumbling institution. Nobody should get married. Its silly. There is a reason the divorice rates are close to 70 percent.

Agreed.

[the_orangekat]

Of course they should. Two consenting adults should be allowed to wed. Who gives a phuck what they do in their bedroom? The people who say they should not should also recall the fact that most who say gays should not be allowed to wed also say a grown person should not be allowed to gamble. Let poeple do what they want with their money and their love life.

Everyone thinks they know what's best for everyone else. People need to get a life and mind their own.

[chance]

Yes, They should be able to do anything that straight people can.

Ditto above

Yea man if nobody got married then divorce rates would go down like to 0 right.

[moneyline]

Nope, homosexuals should not have the right to marry. It is a sacred institution between a man and a woman in the eyes of God. Homosexuality is an abomination, plain and simple ... and before people start getting into a huff, just because you hate an action does not mean you hate the person doing it ... hate the sin, love the sinner ... we are all sinners, but asking the government and society to sanction a sin is not appropriate.

As much as homosexuals want equal rights and justification for their actions, they know, deep down, it is against God's will. Regardless of what CA has to say on the matter.

[rio]

Only the truly beautiful should marry and procreate.

[the_orangekat]

Moneyline

I respect your opinion but your reasoning is assuming THERE IS A GOD. I personally do not believe in such and nothing annoys me more than those bible thumpers thinking they know best. I believe the institution of marriage is a joke, period. Divorce rates say it all. If people want to wed, so be it, gay or straight. Marriage being the joke and mockery that it is surely can't be hurt any more by gay people than it has by straight.

While I am not gay I do love to gamble and the same self righteous jerk offs who strongly oppose gay marriage are probably the same ones who try to stop online gambling. Live and let live. There is no crime in doing what makes you happy just as long as it does not impede on someone else's right to pursue happiness. Two 'fudgsicles' saying "I do" does not affect my life.

[Bread]

Marry? Yes.

Bet? No.

That's just tacky.

[Dark Horse]

Marriage is not just for the couple. If a couple were alone in the world, why marry?
Marriage sets a standard for oneself, as well as for others. A standard upon which, whether we like it or not, our society is build. To mess with that is like pulling on a thread without understanding the consequences; before you know it the whole fabric starts to unravel.

Some people like to proclaim that marriage is just a piece of paper. Have you noticed that none of these folks is actually married?

I believe in the warrior code. Samurai, native american, societies like that. I know that a society with gay marriages does not understand or respect the laws of Nature. It has nothing to do with the bible or God. It has to do with the balance in Nature. I understand that balance can contain within itself pockets of imbalance. But to confuse those pockets with balance is a serious mistake. There is nothing wrong with a deep friendship or love between members of the same sex, but to express it sexually is clearly out of line with the laws of Nature. It reflects a society with a total lack of self control. In that sense, we should not be surprised to witness it in modern America.

For the record, I'm not telling anybody what to do. I'm stating my opinion.

altough i see your point, humans nowadays hardly know what "nature" is anyway. we're not exactly hunting for our own food anymore. any balance there ever was is long gone in today's society, i don't see why gay marriage should be disallowed because it's "against nature", while so many other aspects in daily life are not.
the importance of marriage as a symbol for society as a whole should not be overstated imo, if we really think marriage is so important it shouldn't be so easy for many hetero's as well.
for me, whatever makes someone happy and doesn't conflict with others people's interests, go for it.

That sums it up perfectly.

[Tchocky]

I'm against gay marriage. It legitimizes homosexuality and sends the wrong message to our children. That being said. I can't knock love. I'm disturbed by all the hateful protest against gay marriage and wish these protesters would show a little more compassion and class.

[noyb]

sends the wrong message to our children.

which wrong message does it send exactly?

[buztah]

which wrong message does it send exactly?

Further to your point, does not smoking, drinking, ordering an extra large pizza, going once too many times to the buffet, swearing, driving too fast, etc also send "the wrong message?" Should we arrest the fat man at the buffet along with the two consenting gay adults?

Live and let live.

If I'm a high school teacher how do I explain this to the students?
What to I say to my daughter when she gets out on her first date by an older student who happens to be female ? What to I say to my son in a similiar situation? Let me met "Bubba" first so I can be sure he's a good person? Not judging / Just asking!

[RageWizard]

Yes they should be allowed to marry but instead of kissing, they should be made to 69 one another just to freak out the straight people in the church.

[gordon gekko]

Do whatever the hell you want, just leave me alone.

Haha I agree slick.

[jgm1967]

As with many issues, this guy speaks for me on this one, pretty much says it all right there.

this guy is great.where did you find him

[Robyn]

Even better question...why should ANYONE get married?

[jgm1967]

robin ,I am very impressed with the way you handle yourself on this forum with all these guys.you seem like one tough chick and you have a very hot picture as well if that is you.I hope someone at sbr makes you a mod or a regular here soon.well done young lady.

cheers

[Robyn]

Lol, thanks. Yes, that is me.

I do not try to come across as tough, I just don't like to beat around the bush. I know for a fact that I rub a lot of you guys the wrong way, but oh well.

I would never be a good moderator here as I do not know how to play nice when someone is being an idiot. I am an Admin of a different board (where I know the other ladies from), but it has nowhere NEAR the amount of active members as SBR does.

[The HG]

Even better question...why should ANYONE get married?

Well one good reason to get married if that if you get married, as a guy, the woman now has to cater to your fetishes. If you're not married, she can just say no to everything, and you basically have no recourse. But if you're married, she has to do it all, it's part of the agreement.

[jgm1967]

Your pictures are always very attractive robyn ,very well dressed and sharp in this last one.very impressive.

I really wish sbr would give you and all the girls here more power, and were more appreciative of what all of you brought to the table and how different it is for gambling forums to have women posting.

.Through the years women have been few and far between and if they were women they only claimed to be women like roxygurl.I know rx had xpanda but she is gone,I don't think there are any women at the rx now.

the sad thing is sbr actually had taken the lead in this department in having female posters but I am not surprised many women have posted at eog.alot of guys were pathetic to swede and the other women here ,just don't put up with the nonsense and the childish stuff on here.the only things alot of these animals understand is the crack of the whip.

the internet brings out some pretty ****ed up manners in some guys.

cheers

[Robyn]

I don't want any power here. The last thing I need is another commitment. I have fun being able to come and go as I please. This has been a rather slow week for me, so I have been around a little more than usual.

I am married and like being married, but if you think about it...other than for insurance purposes, there is no real reason to be married if you aren't a religious person.

As we learned this year, being married without children and owning a home, you are fvcked come tax season.

I hear you, but lets be honest. The girls seemed perfectly happy here until they decided to tag along Nancy, then they got settled in. The newness will wear off, most men just post where there's more sports content to their liking, sometimes women will be drawn to where there's more hubbub over them. Robyn is an exception to this rule, she's about as levelheaded as any poster here, male, female, or android..

Nobody can fault the girls, or even some of the boys, for posting wherever they are having fun. Plus, I talk to those girls every day at AIC.
