Homosexuality & Gay marriage - Your views

[drumrolllll]

it shouldn't be legal. except if it's 2 fit girls that are gonna make videos.

[Immenseman]

people same sex couples can't get married, they can have a civil partnership so it's not "their choice", lol.

[Swearwolf]

lol whatever i dun care

[GommeInc]

It's fine, as long as they keep to a proper marriage/partnership. I do have some concerns though, noticing what some of my gay friends are like and some stories of the gay world, the whole "rebelling" and pining for a relationship and ending it within weeks is a bit of a worry. All I can say is, with some of the attitudes of some gay men (particularly), I can see why some of the homophobic comments come to light, it just seems sex oriented, rather than any real commitment, love, romance and trust.

Without being at all homophobic I agree entirely with True Ryan. I know it's a massive generalisation but I have a lot of gay friends and they do seem to be far more about sex than anything else, and I do believe that it's part of a rebellion against society which they seem to think oppresses them. Now I have nothing against sex in or out of relationships, but when so many "loves" are fleeting as they are, one has to wonder as to the practicality of gay civil partnerships.

More to the point, marriage is a religious thing to do with linking man and woman in the eyes of God (or whichever deity they worship), so the only benefit I can really see in same sex legal partnerships is for financial reasons, otherwise there's still no law against adultery so it means absolutely nothing if there isn't the religious aspect.

Personally, I don't think they should be married. Civil partnership is alright though

[Sammeth.]

I don't think it should be allowed for other people to decide who can and can't get married. I'm not a fan of marriage as a whole, but I don't tell people they can't get married just because of my personal distaste. If you don't like gay marriage, then don't marry someone who is of the same sex. That's the only way it can directly affect you. You aren't involved in other peoples lives to the extent where its appropriate for you to be saying how they should live their life.

it doesn't make no difference if someone is gay or lesbian or bisexual or whatever,

what annoys me about them is that they have the compelling urge to parade around in tight skimpy pink hot pants at the gay pride carnival showing how gay they are.. theres not a straight pride carnival [i dont think] i dont see the need to do this.

Gay people complain about being categorised and singled out and whatever but they are hypocrites cause they parade about like that?...

Being gay myself, I obviously have nothing against homosexuality. From personal experience, it is not something you actively decide to be (unless you're looking for attention, I suppose) and therefore I do wonder why people have a problem with it. I didn't choose to be gay, I just feel attraction to men rather than women.
In terms of a gay marriage, I don't believe it's right. Marriage is, essentially, religious - the unison of a man and a woman. Civil partnership is a different matter. If two men, or two women decide that they would like to express their love through such a ceremony I am all for it, no one should have the right to stop them from doing it.

In reference to your comments on homosexual promiscuity, I am in agreement. Knowing a number of gay people myself it seems that their relationships are often fleeting and very sexually based. Despite professions of love, you will find that gay relationships quite often do not last; and on that basis, civil partnerships are nothing but a farse. However, I do not belive anyone should consider civil partnership a farse in general. Public portrayal of homosexuality is not, as with anything, wholly true. I myself have been in a relationship of seven months with someone who I am very much in love with and the relationship is not at all based on the sex.

In one sense I agree. I myself would never take part in a pride festival because at the end of the day I am gay and that is it. I don't feel the need to parade around and tell everyone. I feel sexuality is a personal thing that doesn't need to be publicised. Nevertheless, I do understand why some people may take part in said festivals. One cannot deny that there is still discrimination in the world when it comes to homosexuality and often homosexuals have to be very private - which I fully appreciate. So it is nice to just be yourself, which you can be at gay pride.
