But where I live gay married couples get all the same legal rights as regular married couples. The kids in kindergarten who pretend to get married do not get those same legal rights. So it's clearly not the same. Marriage is more than just a legal entity. It's social, cultural and religious. When I meet a homosexual "married" couple I think of them as if they are the 4 year olds. They are playing. Like the four year olds they will tire of the game. Then it will be another divorce statistic. Sad.

Same sex marriage doesn't bother me at all. I completely support total equality for gay couples. There really are no good reasons for anyone to oppose it.

What about strait people who get divorced? Were they just playing at being normal too? You're generalizing all gay people you know. Also, doesn't marriage predate the God of Abraham? Is it possible that religions did not invent marriage? I never said that religion invented marriage - but now, millennia later, one of the things marriage is, is religious. "Strait" people (a strait is a body of water) who get divorced, are in no better a condition than homosexual ones.

And how are you figuring that gay couples who have been legally married are not socially/culturally married? The legal status is the social/cultural status outside of religions at least. Also, there's nothing wrong with divorce. Sigh, religion is only one of three things I mentioned. There's a lot wrong with divorce - ask any child whose parents got a divorce.

(3) How do you know that I haven't been divorced?

OldSamVimes Poor Leftards people always beating them in discussions by using logic and facts. You're even too stupid and narrow minded to see why it is your side is losing ground. He wanted me to treat someone differently because he had a bad experience with them somewhere else. That's dishonest. Sorry not what is dishonest is saying he wanted you treat Ada differently. He simply informed you of her past conduct. Certainly you do not want to take other peoples opinion at face value but to discount it does not give the entire picture.

He was pointing out that religion is not necessary for marriage.

I oppose the idea of marriage in general but just because I think it is silly and outdated doesnt mean I get to say no one can get married because I am against the idea. For this reason I think everyone that wants to get married should be able to as long as the marriage involves consenting adults. Personally I think it is a bad idea that almost always leads to misery and divorce but I think everyone should be allowed to make their own mistakes.

I think you should get married if you want, to any other consenting adult(s) you want to be married to.

"Strait" people (a strait is a body of water) who get divorced, are in no better a condition than homosexual ones. Just so I have this correct: If a heterosexual couple get divorced they are essentially as bad as homosexuals. Nice to see that you think of yourself as badly as you do homosexuals Ada. Pretty much what most people feel about you here.

I dare say that any person who claims to have a problem with gay people being married is actually hiding a deeper problem they don't want to admit to. It's a disguise. How can they possibly care?

People should do what makes them happy. Two of my best male friends are happily married to each other since several years ago. Sigh, religion is only one of three things I mentioned. There's a lot wrong with divorce - ask any child whose parents got a divorce. My parents divorced when I was 18 months old and it was the best thing that they could have done. They were an ill suited couple, if they had been forced to stick together one of them would have ended up dead. Instead they found love with other people, my father lived in harmony with his new wife until his death a few years ago. My mother is a happy single woman since some years back, but still hangs out with her ex regularly. I'm one of those "any child" with an answer that isn't what you hoped for.

I didn't "hope for" any particular answer, but you are right, your answer is not what I expected because it's a rare experience that you had. I think that things would have been very different for you had you been older.

We're talking days and a heap of trolling ago.

Then it will be another divorce statistic. Sad. Even with straight couples, for a very great number of them, marriage is not remotely religious. As for social and cultural, absolutely - but how would that disqualify gay couples? I didn't say that it does. You seem to have not noticed that I said that I don't care if gay men "get married".
