Homosexual marriage?
I can't understand the logic behind this. For sure, some people have relationships with those of the same sex - I can understand that.
But why bother getting married?
Why do heterosexual people want to get married?
Why can't homosexual people want to get married for the same reasons?
I really cannot see the purpose.
Why would anyone want to do this and how come it is legal in some places?
Surely this should be banned.
Banned on what legal grounds?
Marriage is a legal contract.
Any and everything else that people attach to marriage is nothing more than window dressing.
Marriage is surely a convention thought up a long time ago for men and women to join together , whether for love, religion, family reasons etc..
Says who?
You?
Someone who refuses (or just plain cannot) support their claims with nothing but more claims?
Correct me if I am wrong but I doubt it was ever intended to be used for people of the same sex.
ah, just like fluoride (a waste product from the making of aluminum) was never intended to be used for fighting cavities?
If so, then why change it now?
How do you know that this current "change" is to restore marriage to what it was?
Why don't they just have their own ritual then?
Marriage is a legal contract.
All the various rituals surrounding it are nothing more than window dressing.
Why would you especially want to take on a hetero concept/system of marriage other than to exploit the system financially?
Maybe they are wanting to continue the hetero ritual of divorce?
I mean, who does not want to be able to say that they are helping fulfill the sacred hetero tradition of divorce?
it is not a "hetero" concept/system.
I don't know what the world is coming to.
There are simply far to many people who want so desperately for their biases, prejudice, and bigotry to be supported and justified by law.
Because one of the concepts of modern day marriage is to make life slightly easier financially for a normal couple , especially with children.
Interesting how you include the word "modern" in there.
So what was marriage about BEFORE this "modern" model?
Seeing as a homosexual couple cannot have children then it seems like a form of corruption for them to take this benefit.
Psssst.
You do know that it is possible to have children without being married, right?
Homosexual marriage should be banned.
Based on what legal argument?
Again, marriage is a legal contract.
All the fluff and window dressing people attach to it does not change the fact that it legal contract.
Now, what legitimate legal reason do you have to ban same sex marriage?
