Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Politik

gm.jpg

Governor David Paterson of New York has told state agencies and organizations that it must start recognizing and respecting same-sex marriages performed in states and countries where they are legal, like California or Canada.

In other related news, new surveys show that MOST Californians support gay marriage.

As they should!

    I think this is wrong. If we change the definition of marriage, wouldn't it need to be changed for all? What about those that believe in plural marraige, or want to marry underage children, family members etc. Should the law be expanded to include their desire to be married as well?

    How about you actually use a meaningful statistic in your findings? The majority of Californians support gay marriage? Duh! Here's an equally meaningful stat for you: the majority of divorced middle age men support the legalization of female-only nude beaches! WOW! We must be SOOOOO close to legalization!

    KevinK up there in your first load of answers definitely said it all, and very well said at that. I'm in CA, not feelin the "MOST" that you are referring to. Be gay all you want just PULEEESE stop relentlessly shoving it in my face. I don't care who they do anymore than they care who I do, you know what I mean here? Does a marriage that is recognized on paper, somehow become even MORE valid? What's next? Riots in LA? All of this is getting old….

    eww fuck the gays if they don't like it here they should leave. People like to say that homosexuality is normal and exists in nature, yeah it does, experiments conducted with rats stuffed in an overpopulated enviorments, some would revert to homosexuality, and you know what the other rats would kill the homosexual ones….no wonder in the 1960s it was labeled as a mental disorder as it should be

    massachusetts legalized it FIRST. CA isn't the only state to recognize same-sex marriages.

    [re=2270622]Re: Erica said Re: KevinK – You tell me where that civil union exists that gives the same rights. Go ahead. Ass. If you're just speaking in hypothetical that's fine, but as things are currently states offering civil unions to gay couples don't give the same level of rights. That's without taking into account all the federal rights that gay couples aren't allowed to.
    But whatever. Be my guest to dig in your heels while the world changes around you.[/re]

    Erica my advice to you is, actually find out what the person is saying before you knee-jerk and attack them like you just did. I WAS speaking hypothetically. As I believe we all know what such things exist and don't exist now. My idea was that we SHOULD have congress not recognize marriage, and only recognize civil unions for EVERYONE. So that EVERYONE would be treated EQUALLY.

    Now if some religious folk want to get a civil union, AND have a marriage ceremony, they can.

    I was giving out an idea. One that didn't promote bigotry either way. One that does promote equal rights for everyone. Which I am all for.

    Again, tolerance isn't accepting someone's lifestyle or beliefs. Tolerance is how you treat those very people you disagree with.

    Re: OO said Oh man, finally american's mentality is changing for the better. Now the US is really starting to be a FREE country. Good!
    Oh please, there are much much worse countries out there than America that trample on human rights. And there aren't many countries that actually DO support gay marriage. So stop acting like we are somehow different..

    And we've NEVER had freedom do to whatever we want whenever. No country has that kind of freedom. NO COUNTRY.

    Re: Posh said no wonder in the 1960s it was labeled as a mental disorder as it should be

    Actually they really had no definite reasons why they removed homosexuality from the mental disorder book other than politically correct reasons. That and the often used,(abused) lie of the 10% number was used. (Now they have come to the conclusion it's more like 2-4% of the population are homosexuals, which BTW goes a long with similar disorder statistics.

    The ironic part about this all is, one of the MAIN doctors that got homosexuality taken out of said illness books, the same guy that gays everywhere were profession as a genius, a man ahead of his time, is NOW saying that homosexuals can if they want, lead a healthy heterosexual lifestyle. That they can change. He had been studying it for a decade or so. And has seen cases of men that in a decades time, still had no homosexual tendencies after the transformation. Now saying this, he said that as a society we shouldn't MAKE homosexuals change. That would be bad. That instead, this just gives hope to those that are homosexual, but do not wish to be that way. This is all about being happy with yourself. And if you aren't happy being gay, and there is a way to change that and make you happy, ANYONE and EVERYONE should support it. Regardless of their political or lifestyle beliefs. Otherwise you'd be just as big of a bigot as the people you claim to hate.

    Here is the article

    narth.com/docs/spitzer3.html

    Historic Gay Advocate Now Believes
    Change is Possible

    Dr. Spitzer is best recognized in psychiatric history for his scientific role in 1973–he led the team that investigated whether homosexuality should be removed from the psychiatric manual. He drew bitter criticism during that historic event from psychoanalysts who sought to retain homosexuality among the list of disorders. Since then, Dr. Spitzer had been convinced that sexual orientation is unchangeable.

    "Like most psychiatrists," says Dr. Spitzer, "I thought that homosexual behavior could be resisted–but that no one could really change their sexual orientation. I now believe that's untrue–some people can and do change."

    Contrary to conventioned wisdom," Spitzer concluded, "some highly motivated individuals, using a variety of change efforts, can make substantial change in multiple indicators of sexual orientation, and achieve good heterosexual functioning."

    Dr. Spitzer agreed that this study should not be used to justify coercion. Nor should it be used as an argument for the denial of civil rights. "But patients should have the right," Spitzer stated, "to explore their heterosexual potential."

    And I agree with the last part. This is a great step for homosexuals that don't feel comfortable or happy being homosexuals.

Your pontificating is neither enjoyed, enlightened, not intelligent. How old are you, between 18 & 25 I suspect. Your impressions and point of view will evolve as you age. Stop fucking lecturing. You have completely painted yourself into a corner, by OVER-stating your damn OPINIONS.
Less is more. Rebutting EVERYONE's remarks is annoying and tiresome. Do you work, or just sit at your computer "critiquing shit" all day? MOst shitty posts don't merit rebutting. Choose your battles. Take a psychology course, or two. And even better that that, a philosophy course or two. Free your mind. And curtail your tongue.
Too much talk and people will reflexively and deliberately skip your posts every time they see them. ;)

    there is absolutely NOTHING "normal" about being gay. Common, yes, normal NO! There is nothing normal with a man screwing another man. Just the thought if it is unsettling to the MAJORITY of Americans! Same goes with a woman slabbering all over another woman! Do I care if you are gay? NO but please stop shoving your homo activities down other people's throats!

    LAWL For one, I have a job. I have a very good job. And I am very good at it. So good that I have lots of extra time on my hands to do what I wish on the internets. For two, I've been dating the same girl for 10 years, and we just got married this year. So much for the fag thing. ;)

    Re: KevinK

    Americans are so proud of their "free" country… So that's why I say that, they are not as free as they think. But they can start being it.
    The US is the most influential country in the world, so it's good that people starts respecting basic social rights such as homosexual marriage.
    And, the most social advanced countries in the world, such as Denmark and Sweden support it.

What is with you people? Do you live in on a compound? In a bubble? Whether you "believe" in it or not, people love who they chose to love, perhaps there should be a ban on ignoriant red necks getting married instead of homosexuals. At least the children from a homosexual marraige would be opend minded and not right wing conservative trailer trash freaks!

    All I see you post are a bunch of misguided statements along with baseless accusations and projection of your belief system onto all of America.

    YAY. BTW we are just another country. No more influential than another. And like I have said before, most people in the US are all for giving gays EQUAL RIGHTS. But a small fringe wants more than just equal rights. They want it basically so you'll get locked up if you have any mind crimes about homosexuality that doesn't jive with theirs. :P

    Ok that was an exaggeration, but it's close enough.

    Re: MariaD said he Bible is a book of fables. Kind of like Aesop. It is not meant to rule the free world.

    iI think its RETARDED to not allow gays their RIGHT because people read ONE BOOK and take it was gay being wrong. get a fucking education people.. there are gay mamals in EVERY species… yet its "unatural"??? yeah because your man written book tells you that. that really makes sense…



  46. 146

    Part I

    Re: Nathal said

    I think its RETARDED to not allow gays their RIGHT
    .
    If you mean you think it's wrong to not treat people equally than yes I agree.
    .
    because people read ONE BOOK and take it was gay being wrong
    .
    BTW that isn't the only reason people are against it. I know a lot of non-religious people that are against it. And that Book doesn't say being gay is wrong so much as practicing homosexual sex is wrong. But regardless, people have freedom to believe what they want. Just like you have your freedom to believe what you want.



  47. 147

    Part II

    get a fucking education people..
    .
    Ok now you are just being condescending and silly. Not only that, by reading your posts it isn't "people" that needs an education. As your post reads like a 3rd grader wrote it. (Not that I am Mr Grammar, I suck too, but I am not telling people to get an education…)
    .
    there are gay mamals in EVERY species… yet its "unatural"??? yeah
    .
    That is a poor argument. For one, in the animal kingdom, sometimes the mothers eat their young. Would that be also acceptable for us? How about the dogs that poop in the backyard and then eat it afterward? Should we consider that normal behavior for humans? My dog would hump anything he thought he could. No matter what. I think as humans, we are above such things. Once you start trying to justify actions by comparing humans to wild animals, you've already lost. For another thing, not to compare the acts of homosexuals to pedophiles, because I know the difference so you don't have to tell me, Is it suddenly ok for the pedophile to do what he or she does because it happens naturally in life? Why should we deny them happiness or love? Because our MORALS tells us it is wrong.

    Think about it.

    it is really nice that some people are very passionate about fighting for equal rights , we as a gay couple understand where are these people coming from and their own frustration because as we all know we live in a world where everybody are not equal and don't have equal right ,on the other hand we just try to focus on ourselves and what really it means to our family and friends when it comes to our relationship ,we recently had a ceremony ,had the party and the whole wedding thing and it was fabulous and whether the government accepts it or not and this goes to every single ignorant person that will never recognize our union , the only thing we can say is we really don't need your permission because as for both of us we have been married long before we had the wedding , it is our love and devotion to one another that will count and always will together with our loving family and friends and chances are our marriage will last longer compared to the others because we are pretty sure we are going to love and respect one another ,the next thing we want to do is to adopt children ,those children that was neglected by their own straight parents.
