Another State Legalizes gay Marriage

[Andres]

Homosexuality is a condition, a defect.

Well, I'm not a scientist and I'm not going into a scientific debate about that.

The more because it is not relevant to the question at hand.

Two people have a steady and long standing relationship and have built up something together and thus they decide that they want to add legal consequences to that relationship through marriage. If they are both men or both women, they can't have that. Whether being in love with a person of the same sex is a condition or not, the facts stay the same: two people want to marry, for pretty much the same reasons as a straight couple wants to marry, but they can't because they are gay. That's discrimination.

Same rights yes, same status no. Why do they want that in the first place how egocentric can you be to claim what is important to many.

Yes, but why Fragony?

Why is the tradition of "marriage - only between man and woman" so important, so absolute that it can't be changed? What's the ratio behind the tradition? How did it start and why should we stick to it nowadays? What exactly makes it unthinkable to move past that tradition?

What's so important about that tradition that it justifies blatant discrimination between gay couples and straight couples?

To expand the question a little bit - how many of those here who are married have the feeling that the value of their marriage would be diminished by allowing homosexual couples to marry?

(NB: I am talking about the "legal" marriage of homosexuals here - not about marriage in church)

I don't see how my marriage is of less value because gays are allowed to marry
