You know exactly what I mean by wrong. All because two adults consent to something doesn't mean it's ok.

I'm not trying to say I'm right. I'm voicing my opinion that gay marriage is wrong.

I don't regard all marriages as equal......I can see the sense in the law regarding them that way.....But I don't personally view them that way. If the majority wish for that to be the case though that's fine and how it should be. Religious or not the point of marriage in my book is to provide a secure and stable base for children later on.....I know not all people view it like that but to me that's the point. If older people get married or people who can't have children get married that's fine and dandy and an event worthy of celebration but it doesn't really chime in the same way with me. Same sex couples now get to describe their unions as 'marriage'. Well, I grew up with that meaning a union between a man and a woman. Just another example of the gradual creeping feminisation of British and now Irish society in my book.
Just because you would not view your own gay child's wedding ceremony wouldn't be in your eyes a 'marriage', it doesn't mean others aren't happy for them. Edited by imbored (23 May 2015 11.45pm) Can't agree with that. There are certain things that a 'mother' and 'father' bring to a child invidivdually...that two of one of the other just cannot give. It's simply not fair on the kid. Man was made for woman. But in this day and age, that ship has sailed. I now think if you want to be married to someone of the same sex...go for it. But don't involve kids. Getting my helmet ready...but that's just what i reckon.
But a "My 2 Dads" scenario doesn't sit right with me. The kid knows he's not in a 'normal' situation and will be forever seeking answers as to where his mum is. The Civil Ceremony was ok - this is a step too far for me. Call me old fashioned.
You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name. |

Do gay couples use sat-nav? Don't they get offended when a female voice tells them to 'go straight'.

Oh so no answer, you're not even married? If marriage is such a valuable environment for kids why shun it yourself and demote gay peoples marriage's and child rearing in the process. If marriage is to provide a secure and stable environment for children, how exactly is a child of gay parents more secure and stable without his parents being married than with? You should surely favour it? It's not an argument that makes any sense. None the less, of course, no-one needs a qualification to become a parent, nor should they need one to get a marriage. From the prejudiced to the gay families, they all get a shot now and that to me is a step forward. Edited by imbored (24 May 2015 3.22am)
Yes, I'm not married and I have a young son....Seeing how you appear to wish to personalise this argument. Marriage is the 'ideal' situation for children to be raised in but I'm not living the ideal because of several personal circumstances. However the boy has a mother and father. You see Bored, I'm smart enough to realise that there's a difference between an ideal and what some people are prepared for in life. That's ok, not everyone can live the 'ideal'. However, marriage is essentially a contract between two people. A contract that is often torn up. It isn't the most important aspect.....That is the commitment between the parties. Just because that isn't the 'ideal' it does not mean that it isn't the best possible realistic outcome in the circumstances. One that can produce healthy, self assured and happy minds....It just isn't the ideal....This is the reality for many people today.....It doesn't need a series of warm words to make people feel more valued....Though many people are there to provide them...It is what it is and it is reality. Edited by Stirlingsays (24 May 2015 10.08am)
You expect others to relate to you on a personal level because not being the 'ideal' is 'okay', but at the same time you unnecessarily wade into others lives wholesale, telling them that despite their legal right, their union means less to you personally. You are then affronted when criticised. Their lives are just as complex and hopes just as real as yours and they too deserve to be viewed on those terms. This change takes nothing away from yours or anyone elses relationship and it strengthens theirs according to even your own beliefs. You're apparently incapable of seeing that, whereas the Republic of Ireland examined their collective conscious and made the realisation that they are.

You declare a form of child rearing superior then don't enter into it despite having that privilege. Then you state that others, who actively fought for the right to marry, aren't 'really' married in your eyes and display some displeasure at their access to what you declare a more stable form of union, an ideal. If a single man and woman are a less secure and stable unit than one in wedlock it naturally follows that the same applies to a gay couple, but you are unhappy with this development. How does that help kids, yours or anyone elses? Or couples.

Your first sentence is just about the only statement that I can agree with. You say I have displeasure with gay people getting married....My problem is with the hijacking of the word, 'marriage' to now include same sex. I had no issues and even supported 'same sex unions'. Anywy its quite ridiculous that you can't hold a sensible discussion where you don't type away like a zealot because up until the recent past same sex anything wasn't even allowed in the country.....That's been the norm and now you snap away like a child who has had their candy taken. For example...It's quite ridiculous, I don't 'expect people to relate to me on a personal level'......I don't give a monkey's what people think. Another ridiculous and emotionally over the top statement you make, 'you unnecessarily wade into others lives wholesale'.......Errrr....This is public forum. I have spoken about this subject generally. This is the very opposite of wading 'into others lives'...No one is forced to read my posts...Again, you're being quite ridiculous. It has been you who have chosen to personalise this topic by starting to talk about my son....Which if anything 'wades into my life'.....I haven't asked you questions about your life or anyone elses nor am I interested in it. These are opinions on an opinion forum.....Quite quite ridiculous. You then say 'You are then affronted when criticised'.....What I am is miffed that you are seemingly incapable of dealing with this discussion in a mature sensible way. I'm happy to discuss the issues but if you continue in the same vein I'll just stop replying to you.

Clearly if someone is gay this is an issue that is personal to them, whether or not you want to paint it as such. Don't worry yourself, this gay person will be knocking participation in General on the head. I'll stick to the rest of the site. How many gay members do we have here again? When you read some of the stuff written over the last couple of days in multiple threads that's explanation enough. Have fun everyone.

'Hijacking' of the term? is a reasonable description.
