narcimund 0 #1 September 24, 2003 Enough of the vagueness. Let's stop talking about "redefining marriage" and "civil unions" and other buzz words. Let's get down to the core of it. Either you think societal support of monogamy is a good thing or a bad thing. What do you want gay people to have?

Casch 0 #3 September 24, 2003 I don't think it should be any different than straight people. If you wanna be promiscuous, let it be, monogamous? Go for it. Be yourself. I'm partial to monagomy myself, but whatever floats your boat! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #4 September 24, 2003 Can I ask one thing? OK Fuck you I'm asking anyway. Why do you need "societal support" to be in a relationship? Why do you care what others think? I think I do have to support gay marriage just because of the legal aspects. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueEyedMonster 0 #5 September 24, 2003 Umm Who cares? My personal life is MY personal life... and none of societies business. I believe the core of it is a bunch of whiney people that want to feel special, want to bitch, and feel the need to confront. Are you so insecure that you need societal approval of your gayness? Personally, I don't give a shit what society thinks... and I'm perfectly happy with things the way they are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FeMike 0 #6 September 24, 2003 Dude, Gay people are the best. My best employees are gay, my landlord is a gay skydiver and the nicest guy ever, Queer Eye for a Straight Guy is one of my favorite shows. But, I was taught to be a homophobe in my redneck upbringing. Luckily, I figured it out. Closet, flamer, whatever.....Gay people rock!

narcimund 0 #7 September 24, 2003 QuoteWhy do you need "societal support" to be in a relationship? Good question. -I- don't need shit. I've been in a stable, marriage-like, monogamous, completely independent relationship for five years. But I'm not asking for myself. Society-wide, it's clearly a benefit for there to be legal and social support of relationships like mine. Straight people get that benefit and Meunkel and Chuteless and Bush can't stand the thought of us getting that external assistance for some reason. They must want gay people to screw around. So I'm asking, overall, society-wide, does everyone agree with the Christians that gay people should get it on all day long? The paternalistic authoritarians are pushing for policy that promotes liberal, promiscuous sexual lifestyles. "Gay marriage" would move towards family-oriented lifestyles. Which is most desirable? Make your choice. Be pragmatic. First Class Citizen Twice Over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THAT was funny. I agree with you I think. "Marriage" really isn't about two people any more. It's about legal rights. I say why should it matter who those two people are? I know....I'm in a minority. The non-hypocritical that served in the military. I think all Americans deserve the same rights. *shrug* I'm getting strange in my old age. I think Skydiving has had an effect on me.

HOW, and UI find it hard to beleive that God bothers would want promiscuos homosexuals, seeing as how they dont want homosexuals at all. You questions and conlusiobns dont make sense. FWIW, i dont give a toss either way, what I do care about is wether ppl are discriminated agaiinst for thier choice of lifestyle.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

Muenkel 0 #23 September 24, 2003 QuoteStraight people get that benefit and Meunkel and Chuteless and Bush can't stand the thought of us getting that external assistance for some reason. They must want gay people to screw around. Whoa there Sparky. You obviously drew a conclusion about my personal beliefs from the Howard Dean thread. In that thread, I simply stated a fact that has nothing to do with my own personal beliefs. Go re-read what I wrote and notice that I was merely mentioning 2 laws that Gov. Dean signed that probably would not be very popular amongst mainstream America. I never mentioned my position. Hell, I don't even live in Vermont, so I never voted on it. If you want to know where I stand, then ask me. I truly believe I have no right to judge anyone's behavior but my own. One of my favorite dz.commers is openly gay. I have never judged his lifestyle, nor do I plan to. He has been nothing but courteous to me. In fact I consider him my friend I hope I have for a very long time. I understand your emotions on this topic. But realize that you just lumped me into a category that I do not belong to which ironically is what you are bitching about. I'll ask you two questions: Have I ever judged you or your lifestyle? Have I ever been anything but kind to you on these forums?
