i personally don't even support marriage rights for heterosexuals, unless it be strictly for legal reasons of child custody or property ownership. i view that the couple is actually marrying the government when entering into a legal marriage contract with each other under the authority of the government.Do you support marriage rights for homosexuals? I do!
if being straight and homosexual is not a choice, then what determines you to be heterosexual or homosexual?
i have limited contact with my father and his marriage partner. i go out to eat with them about once every month or two, although our discussions tend to be very superficial, insofar as they are unable to discuss certain issues with me. they can't hear about religion from me or speak about their sexuality to me, for example. we talk about corporations and politics. that's about it.vnct, I can't believe you outed all that. Most would be too ashamed to mention something like that being in their family or connected to them. It's disturbing to say the least. I also don't believe their relationship and circumstances, or even opinions on sexuality, represent the norm. I can see why you have certain ideas about marriage though. Do you have much contact with your father at all?
Because being married in law gives couples legal rights that they might not otherwise have.Only just noticed this thread and I'll admit I've only read a few posts so apologies if this question has been discussed already:
I've nothing against homosexuals but why would they want to get married anyway , why not just stay as a couple?
Can someone explain the logic to me - thanks.
such as what?
What "can of worms" does it open?It certainly opens a whole can of worms - especially the family parts.
Is it legal where you are?
Where I'm living even the idea of a woman working and the man staying at home to look after the kids is met with derision and laughter. (I am in a third world country )
well the whole standard definition of family as being mum, dad and two kids for a start.
I'm not saying it isn't possible but I am sure there are many people out there who do.
It is encouraging to see so many people say yes.
Do you support marriage rights for homosexuals?

Because you have a mind of your own maybe?Do you support marriage rights for homosexuals?

The bible supports selling your daughter to the highest bidder, do you support that?
