In my country a lot of people are against same sex marriage but now people are more accepting. There were definitely people against it, neutral or support it

But still “ Singapore’s high court has upheld a colonial-era law that criminalises sex between men, putting the international financial centre at odds with the liberal trend to embrace same-sex relationships. The city state’s high court on Monday struck down three separate appeals that argued that the legislation was unconstitutional. Under Singaporean law, a man found guilty of “gross indecency” with another man faces up to two years in prison.” Singapore doesn’t accept same sex marriage

  • The old model was that marriages form families, which are more solid and stable than individuals, enabling stronger communities to form. Strong communities are the backbone of a stable society: here in the US, the demographic with the longest productive working lives are actually the Amish, who reject all technology made after 1650 or so (well, mostly). Sure, they eat better than most of us, and they get a LOT more exercise, but the big thing they have going for them is community strength: no one has EVER gone hungry or homeless in that community just because somebody got sick or died.

    It's very politically incorrect to say so, but the numbers don't lie: single-parent households just can't do everything (in terms of bringing up kids) that multi-parent households can (well, traditional two-parent households can; I don't know the numbers on anything more than that), and while that doesn't technically require marriage, humans being humans, we're a lot more likely to stick around if we've got some skin in the game. Thus the social enforcement of marriage as a commitment; it leads to the betterment of society as a whole. It's obviously not as simple as "the breakdown of traditional marriage is responsible for the downfall of society", but taking the responsibilities of marriage more seriously would bring back some of the good things we've lost.

    Now, gay couples usually don't have kids (though some adopt), but even if kids aren't involved, seeing people sticking together cohesive family units reinforces the notion that it's an important thing. This is why the traditionalist opposition to gay marriage always baffled me; saying that marriage is important from a social standpoint but that these folks can't do it seems wildly contradictory. Many of their apologists would tell me that it's due to old-fashioned biases against homosexuals because of their reputation as profligate hedonists, rushing around in an orgy of anonymous casual sex (that lead to the backlashes of the AIDS- oh, sorry, I mean the GRID epidemic). To that I responded "And what could possibly signify a bigger commitment to sowing your wild oats than wanting to get monogamously married?". They never had an answer to that.

    Personally, I like social stability, low crime rates, and abundant civil rights. I'm all for gay people having the right to marry one another.

    • under the law maybe. under a religion maybe not.
    • mostly due to many religions not welcoming the idea. since they tend to view marriage as a bond between. the 2 sexes and not 2 people of the same sex.
    • but considering that in the States alone the 2 types of couples. with the lowest divorce rates have no natural born female in them as in M + M or M + T.
    • because in the States over half of M + F marriages. fall apart within 10 years of tying the knot. of the once that fall apart roughly 75% are filed by the female.
    • does question why some people even opt to get married anymore in the States. almost seems like men might not be the full issue for modern marriage.
    • sure it likely be due to something the male did or did not do. but still seems like it is a modern day cash grab for many females.

  • Its absolutely the same as any straight marriage. As long as its between loving adults its their business and no one elses. If anyone thinks it's their business, they need to go fuck themselves and let other people fuck each other.

    That's the correct answer to the question, if anyone disagrees, they're wrong.

  • I think they should be allowed to. There's some benefits you can get when married, so why can't they have the same as a hetero couple.

  • Being an old school liberal (not a progressive) I support it. If 2 people love each other, no skin of my or anyone else's nose if they get married.

    That said, anyones freedom to marry should not infringe on the rights of others. So if a place of worship chooses to not allow it, that's their choice and that has to be respected.

  • Gay people have the right to be just as miserable as straight people, so why not? We let straight people make that mistake, so why wouldn't we let gay people do the same?

  • It doesn't affect me in any shape or form so I feel indifferent about it.

  • There's nothing to discuss. It should be fckng normal.

    • it's not exactly normal but it should be acceptable

  • I fully support the right of same sex people to have relationships and even to enjoy the legal and financial benefits of marriage. I don't see why it should matter if they are same sex.

  • Neutral/support. It doesn't affect my life in any way, so I don't have any reason to care. But I do like to see people happy, so I support that. Be happy, be free. So long as we aren't hurting anyone, I believe we're entitled to that.

  • Support it. They can be miserable like the rest of us if divorce happens lol

  • Why are some so against it? Why can't they? It doesn't affect me, in any real way!! OK, some really cute girls get married to women! :( But there are more, that aren't, so no Worries!!
    Live, Love and enjoy!!

  • It's against my views but that's their decision to make.

  • I`m old fashioned and think marriage should be between male and female

  • If they want to suffer like straight people the fuck should I care doesn't affect me or anyone's personal lives right

  • Support it

  • It's just a legality that confers some benefits to the couple. I'm in favor, there's no reason the government should discriminate against same-sex couples.

  • They have the right to be as stupid as I was. Divorce attorneys need love too.

  • Marriage is a religious celebration. Some call it a Covenant.
    The Judeo-Christian does not support same-sex marriage. However...
    As a Libertarian, I accept domestic partnerships (parallel to marriage) for any lawful purpose, as indicated by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. No State shall make or enforce any law which (denies) to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

  • Neutral

  • I support it.
