First of all I think it's great gay people have equal rights and we have come this far in acceptance
I just wonder
Why is it so important for gay people to participate in the ancient tradition of marriage ?
I always saw gay people in a modern way, breaking with the traditional narrow minded past.
Why isnt an official partner status not enough ?
So why is this marriage thing that important ?
Is it to get some confimation being gay is accepted ?
Is anybody still doubting the latter ?
do what you want to do
don't worry about what other's think
I fully agree. But this gay marriage gives me the opposite feeling. I want to blend in and dont stand out.
like this?
YIKES!:) Now THAT's Flaming!:)
just trying to blend in?
Im not really a specialist but this picture is not necessarly a gay person ?
Thats a drag no ?
not my field.
Thank you....It's been my experience...The ones with the problems with it were the same ones hitting on me when they'd get drunk. Probably just a coincidence...
To answer your question, it's about equality in a legal sense. A lot of people consider a legal marriage to be the same thing as a religious marriage. Due to separation of church and state, this is not the case. People who are both religious and non religious are able to get "legally" married in the U.S. Homosexuals would like to be able to be treated equally in the eyes of the law. A "legal partnership" may come with the same rights, but since it comes with a different label, it basically becomes the same thing as "separate but equal." The idea is not to legislate whether or not a religious institution can or must perform homosexual marriages, for that would also be a violation of church and state. It is simply, again, to get the same legal status as heterosexual married couples with all the same rights and privileges that come with that.

I dont fully understand what you mean. Is this US related. Are they putting pedophiles in the same category as gays ???
I deleted that. This isn't an appropriate place to discuss that. My apologies.
