I remember one person saying that gay people SHOULD be able to get married so they can be miserable "like the rest of us."
Anyone who thinks gay people will cause the downfall of marriage is either an idiot or not living in the same reality as the rest of us. All the divorces, all the Vegas weddings that last 48 hours, all the cheating and fighting and whatnot? All of that is contributing quite well to the downfall of marriage. If anything, I think gay people might help prop it up because, by being denied it for so long, they're more likely to take it more seriously than those who have taken it for granted for so long.
I'm not one who thinks marriage is a necessity in life (living with my partner of 4 years and I'm happy enough with that), but I think everyone should have that choice, of whether or not to get married. I know NY has been talking of allowing gay marriage and I hope they do soon.
Thanks for the support. Sadly, I don't think it'll ever be legal in the state of Louisiana. To many Southern Baptist. But I can still dream. I never really cared about marriage, but for some reason now that I have met someone I really care about and want to spend the rest of my life with.. I do.
The so-called sanctity of marriage was ruined the second divorces were accepted. Period.
As far as I'm concerned marriage is nothing more than signing a contract legally allowing shared material and legal benefits. If two people agree to share said benefits, it's downright stupid to not allow it.
I'm in a heterosexual relationship and I can and will love my SO all the same with or without a ring on my finger...the only benefits of marriage are the legal ones...and as I said it's stupid to deny that to anyone based on sexual preference.
Thanks, and yeah I agree. What is the point of getting married when you're already thinking of the divorce. My sister, before her wedding, we were trying to get her to wait and think about it first and she said "If it doesn't work out I'll just get a divorce." She went on to talk about how they would split up all their stuff... seriously?? You're talking about the divorce before you're even married.... There is just something wrong with that.
