Why do gays want to get married?

[Draka]

What about women who infertile, or over the age of 50. Why should they get the benefit of marriage if they aren't going to ruthlessly have children? Marriage for infertile women and homosexual marriage should be banned!

Don't forget to include sterile men in that. Oh, and if a man ever has a vasectomy he better hope he's already in a marriage that will last the rest of his life, because once he's had the "snip snip" he certainly can't marry anyone else.

Men and women should just be whipped until they make constant babies, and once they become incapable of doing so, slaughtered.

Seriously though, another bs point of his is the whole 'role model' call. No couple in my life I've ever met has been a good role model for my own relationships. And why I be held to be a good role model for anyone when I am marrying anyway?

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.

Why would anyone want to do this and how come it is legal in some places?

Surely this should be banned.

Homosexuals generally want marriage, not only a symbol of their achievement to be open and not beaten to death in a religious tirade, but mainly for the tax benefits heterosexual couples receive. And yes, you do receive benefits for being married without having children. Homosexual couples do not get the same benefits as Heterosexual couples with children unless they themselves have children! Who knew it would make so much sense? Personally, I think the whole tax relief for marriage thing is a fraud and discrimination against single people.

Basically because it is a sham.

That's it?
Seriously?

Seriously?

Appears to be. I haven't seen one logical reason he's given for it supposedly being so, however it appears to be the jist of his argument.

Why does ANYONE want to 'get married'?

And yet, that is not the point.
Secular legal state/govt. sanctioned contracts
SHOULD BE above discrimination.

Well, at least he is consistent...
Right?

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..

Correct me if I am wrong but I doubt it was ever intended to be used for people of the same sex.

If so, then why change it now?

Religion is surely a convention thought up a long time ago for people and God to join together , whether for love, relationship, family reasons etc..

Correct me if I am wrong but I doubt it was ever intended to be used to discriminate against those with different views and lifestyles.

If so, why change it now?

Maybe you are just more gay

I've become increasingly awesome the more gay I get.

Your attempt at criticism is flawed because gay is effing fantastic.

(No seriously women are sexy and so are their brains.)

How is marriage, between a man and a woman, "natural"?

What a daft question.

How is a cow eating grass in the field natural?

that is perhaps a better question.

Men and Women were designed to be couples, even animals know that.


and by the way, a long time ago in this thread I said that Lesbian couples could adopt in certain situations.

Cows are are the result of human meddling and loads of animals pair bins in same sex relationships. Many species (many birds and primates) even adopt abandoned or orphaned juveniles into same sex pair bonds.

ah no...
marriage was created in order to fulfill specific civic purposes.
are you saying life insurance is natural
how about inheritance
and hospital visitation
i'm beginning to sense you are a poe or just a troll because some of your posts are absolutely asinine...

and by the way, a long time ago in this thread I said that Lesbian couples could adopt in certain situations.

watch it, your bias is showing....
how embarr***ing

I saw this TV commercial the other day for Golden Corral, which is a buffet style restaurant, and they were advertising this chocolate fountain that's like a large waterfall of chocolate that's largely exposed to the open air, filthy fingers and double dipping, and it cycles it back through. Just the thought of it made me ill, and the music they decided to use for the commercial sounded like porno music. What were they thinking?

How is it a daft question? You haven't explained your claim. Men and women were "designed"? See, there's where we have an issue right there. And animals know this? then why don't they have marriages?

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?

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.

What is the purpose of heterosexual marriages? I suspect it is the same case with homosexual marriages.

Found this video. I know, I am just dropping randomly after months of absence to post it, but I think it applies to the current thread.

Animals aren't intelligent enough - surely that is obvious.

Of course men and women were designed, either by God or Nature - take your pick.

Homosexuals should not get married because it is abusing the system for financial gain, is not what marriage was intended for and distorts the fabric of society.

It's not abusing teh system, it's equality. Or do you believe heteros abuse the system?

Your lack of understanding of self-reflexivity in your 'reasoning' [and using that term is merely academic] is appalling.
