You know, I have just got the idea, that God didn't exactly prescribe marriage, to Adam. Also, that it seems unnecessary to prescribe marriage to men, towards each other. It appears, that people who are homosexual, have the issues of heterosexual couples, but they don't have children, and all because of marriage, they feel that the issues of feeling insecure, etc., pertaining to the 'basic' difference men and women feel between themselves, become more of an insecurity.

Many gay couples do have children though.
Even if others don't feel their marriage is necessary, they do (which is enuf for me).
Many of us live our lives by dictates other than what God is purported to have said.

All I humbly say is, I don't see a point of divergence. Why marry a man, because religion introduced you to the term, 'marriage'? It seems, marriage might be a sign to people, that you aren't profligate sexually, with everyone, it might make the couple, safe, both homosexual, and heterosexual, but in the case of the homosexual couple, on which of the partners, does it apply? It seems to be a waste of time, to have the ceremony. You know, what if people said, people take pets to parlours? I mean, hair dressers? I am sure, people might want their pet in France, to sit on the President's seat, which he uses officially. I believe, the military don't like this. People don't exactly understand what marriage is, and neither do I. And, we give each other reasons, to marry which might not be relevant to the other. I mean, should I marry to have a sex life? I don't need to meet my wife, after I have had sex, to end the marriage officially, is what I feel.

*puts on his translator headset and offers an English translation*

Respectfully, my opinion on this is that I don't see why gay men want to marry, just because religion has introduced them to the concept of marriage. Are they using marriage as a way of showing the world they are in a mutually exclusive relationship? Is it a way of making one member of the marriage safe and secure? But they're both gay dudes...which one is safe and secure?

The ceremony seems to be a waste of time.

You know, what if...

*translator blinks at this point, trying to decipher the rest*

Ummm...:help:

*decides to have a crack anyway*

What if people wanted to take their pet to the hair dressers? In France, they might want their pet to sit on the seat of the President, and pass laws about...umm...cats and...postmen. What would the military say about this, huh? HUH?

Nobody understands what the heck marriage is. I sure as heck don't. We just make up reasons to get married. People get married just so they can have a sex life...

*phht...getting married to have a sex life is an oxymoron for most...*

Well, I don't need to meet my wife after I've had sex to end the marriage officially...

*translator blinks, and removes headset*

The only way I can make sense of that last bit is to assume it's talking about...umm...having random sex, and then texting your wife to say 'Honey, I've just slept with your sister, and I think we better call it quits. BTW, what's for dinner?'

I understand the argument that some people believe marriage originated with religion and that it ought to remain defined, and within, a religious context. However, marriage is something that is socially and legally recognized -- so it does make sense to me that a gay couple may wish to marry.

I think the desire to marry is often a desire to have a love-bond recognized. It is the marriage in our society (at least here in the US) that establishes a socially and legally recognized family unit -- with both benefits and obligations that do not exist outside of that structure. To me, it is the desire to say and have recognized that based upon vows (taken in love) AND a legally binding contract -- we are now family.

Congratulations to both of them

For these 2 fellas, marriage appears to be about love & commitment to each other. Ignoring the icky physical implications (yeah, I have this revulsion thing about it), marriage serves a non-religious function. Mrs Revolt & I are both heathens too, so religion plays no role for us either.

Hair dressers? That is too limited a stereotype, since they are also interior decorators, Broadway show tune composers, haberdashers & dancers. Although my friend is a writer for a newspaper.
