Why won't the government allow gays and lesbians to marry and adopt children? Coming from a gay male, i jsut don't see why your sexual preference should define what rights you do or do not get in this country. So..why is ALWAYS different for those who are homosexuals?
Answer:
Most states, for better or worse, define marriage...which is a privilege, not a right...as between a man and a woman. Period. End of story. And I'm not saying I agree with that. But it is what it is. And it's going to be a very long time before it changes. If at all.
Now the problem I see for gay people is that they have no marital rights. No right to pension, social security or other similar benefits from their partners. I believe that those rights should be respected if they couple registers as a domestic partnership or however their state allows them to. Now I know not all states have this, but that is changing. Assuming the couple follows those rules, they are essentially married. But they are in fact, not married in the most technical sense.
Now I dont care if the law allows same sex marriages or not. It's just not something I think is my business. But society isnt going to change to accomodate same sex marriages any time soon. The domestic partnership laws are extraordinary remedies that did not exist even a short time ago. It's a move in the right direction. We are talking about marriage and domestic partnerships that grant all the rights of marriage. A distinction without a difference. So if you live in one of those states that grant that right, I dont see what the big deal is.
And you stated that homosexuals cannot adopt children. That is simply NOT the case. It may be more difficult. But it is not illegal and many gay couples adopt children. So it is not ALWAYS different for those who are homosexuals.
As I said, I dont think it's any of my business, and I certainly would oppose any law that restricts gay rights. I am in favor of any domestic partnership laws, and have not problem with changing the definition of marriage to include gay marriage. However, I really dont think calling your relationship a marriage or a domestic partnership will change what is important. Your relationship. As long as you have all the legal rights of a married couple, you shouldnt worry about it.
Because society can't accept things that they find new or strange.
I thought that was the point...no more same ole same ole.
Because this country was founded on Christian principles, outlining that marriage is in between a man and a woman, and many people do not want children in homes where deviant sexual behavior is the norm. These people believe that these children will never learn how to have decent relationships when they are older. Now that doesn't address the rest of the retards out there raising children but.c'est la vie.
Also, though, why is it when a gay man is beat up it is a hate crime? I thought anytime somebody was attacked it was a hate crime? Why is a homosexual's life worth more than mine?
There is one reason and one reason only, RELIGION says it should be thus.
So your question then should be, What ever happened to seperation of church and state?
The rights for gays and straights are exactly the same. You have the right to marry a woman and so do I.
The problem with gay activists is that they try to create rights that do not exist. They try to demonize anyone who disagrees with them.
I actually support the rights of gays but the activists have turned me away from the issue.
Because, we need to raise our children with morality, dignity and and a true sense of right from wrong. There are enough confused and bewildered kids in the world today.
Marriage
鈥揘oun
1. The social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as HUSBAND and WIFE by legal commitments, religious ceremonies, etc.
Perhaps, because you are different. You already have the same rights as everyone else. You may marry anyone of the opposite sex anyday you wish. What you are asking for are "special" rights, which is where most people have the problem. Property, power of attorney, and the like can all be managed by a living will. No one is telling you who you can love, who you can live with, or commit to, they are saying you cannot call it marriage. Marriage is clearly defined as one man and one woman. Marriage is also a church institution, not the governments.
Why do gay people always try to push sex on young children? is it part of their sexual needs?
I don't have an answer for you on this subject. I could care less if you got married or not. Children on the other hand is a different subject. Let me ask you a question. Should children be exposed to sexuality at a young age? In my humble opinion no, because they are going to be asked where's your mommy/daddy by other kids and what are they going to say? Any child under the age of maybe 9 does not have the the mind-spand to debate this issue!
omg some of the **** people are saying.
I recall the "partner" of a famous tennis player actually trying to sue this tennis player for part of her wealth ! I spose for giving her the "best years of her life" ha ha ha
"Why won't the government allow gays and lesbians to marry and adopt children?"
Because straight people outnumber gay people. Majority rules. The majority has the might, and that's just the way it is.
"So why is [it] ALWAYS different for those who are homosexuals?"
It is NOT always different. Have gay people ever been denied the right to vote? Have gay people ever been forced to drink from separate drinking fountains and attend different schools. Gays and not denied equality in ALL things. Just some things.
