Gay & Lesbian Rights
 

What do you think on this matter?

i think they deserves to do all things like everyone else

They also get slated because they are different.. but to me they are still muman beings

They shouldn't be treated any more differently then any one else. Just cause they have different desires to other men/women doesn't make them any less important.

i think the idea of gay marriage is utter tosh though, why would any gay want to be joined in matrimoney before a god who wants them dead?

Yeah i totally agree

We are all human but may like different things than to straight people

Why would GOD want them dead

GOD loves Everyone

And even if they have different desires doesnt make them less human

I think it is disgusting the way gay/lesbians are discriminated against. Everyone is born Bisexual, and then when you are old enough you choose which sex you like. They are no different to hetrosexuals. Im glad the legal age for homosexual sex has dropped down to the normal age (16). It was just wrong having it older than that ust becuase you are homosexual.

Gay's and Lesbian's are people too, and should not be discriminated against.

They should be treated like any other person.
In school a boy admitted to being Bisexual and was picked on, kicked, and got called names by people. And what did the teachers do.. NOTHING

Totally agree with you Emilee

Gays and Lesbeans have the right to do things in life and not be judged.

If a gay man wanted to marry another gay man its because they love each other wich is not any different to a girl and a man falling in love except the have the same Gender.

Just out of interest, are you a lesbian Emilee?

Civil Marriage?

I believe 10000000% that Gays & Lesbians should be given the right to anything that Straight people have.
So they have different sexual orientation - why should this affect anything else other than which way they go? It's ridiculous that in this day in age people are still judging people on something so trivial as which gender they feel sexually attracted to.
At the end of the day, we're all human beings.

Leviticus 18:22

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."

Well then GOD is wrong

He is MEANT to love Everyone no matter what

Civil marriage is understandable, yep I dont disagree with that. It brings the same financial security as a traditional marriage.

Well in ancient Greek society it was considered a more pure and righteous form of sex to do it man on man, than man on woman.

Though I get what youre saying easypeasy, Christian marriage should abide by the Bible. Which I agree with.

Not to get into a religious debate, but there are also Bible quotes showing that homosexuality "existed" within gods (Purposefully not capitalised, by the way) reign.

David & Jonathon's relationship in passages from Samuel?

1 Samuel 18:1

"...Jonathan became one in spirit with David and he loved him as himself."

That doesnt mean he bummed him.

Because marriage isn't about God. It's about making a commitment to each other.

Theres a certain group in my school which is like all bisexual. No one even cares. They all admit it.

As far as I was aware, relationships weren't about sex.

And the "comment of the week" award goes to............The Hitman... :laugh:

lol PMSL

I'm sorry to break the flow of the otherwise serious thread, but I was literally in stitches at that comment!

.. anyway.. continue debating..

lol yeah

i think that they should be equeal because they still are humans

and why cant people acceot they are just into different things

yeah mate, like why are there so many gay vicars? why are there any gay vicars? lol

Im Bisexual myself and not meaning to sound bigoted with my attitude.......

Its not about God and Religion,its about Rights when it comes to Wills etc etc.


If partners are living together for 60 years and the bread winner dies,the person left behind is left with no rights when it comes to money etc,they are literally thrown out of there own house with no rights whatsoever.

Which bit if gay and lesbian rights are we debating?

Marriage - well I think that everyone has the right to be treated in a equal manner. I laugh at how things are in this country. The latest BIG thing is Equality and Diversity - however you can only be treated in a way that the government dictate as being politically correct, not in a way that is actually equal!!!

how about discrimination in the work place because of your sexuality? it still happens, look at how long it has taken for the armed forces to acknolwedge that you can still actually be in the services if you are gay! of course you know when you are gay you can not possibly fulfill your job as a soldier etc... and of course you will fancy the pants off every one of the same sex you come across which makes it hard for you or them to do their job!!! whatever lol

I think that gay and lesbians are discriminated against on a lot of levels and it is about time we stood up to discrimination - there you go I am putting my drum away for now :dance:

I wonder if shilpa were a gay man,would the bullying be made such a big deal,if words like ****** were used etc.I dont think the government would give a crap.

LMAO: No i just have quite a few Gay friends.

Oooh God that did sound a bit too much! lol, Like i was fighting for my own rights haha. And dropping the age limit down. haha. Woops, sorry if i mislead anyone. haha.:whistle:

lol,dont say sorry,nothing the matter with being a lesbian if you were :thumbs:

PMSLLL I know this is a serious debate but that made me laugh :laugh:

LOL Didnt mean to say it like that.. haha. Got a lil bit too into the topic. People think i am a lesbian at school for some reason, mainly probably because i havnt had a boyfriend in a while. If someone a girl asks me:
"Are you a lesbian?" i just say "Why do you fancy me?".
It really annoys me.

LOL Emilee, don't worry - that sort of stuff is said a lot. Just because you don't have a boyfriend for a while, people may think you're a lesbian - it's slightly strange.
Teen years - what a weird age to be at times.

Anyway, in my personal view, I feel that gays and lesbians should certainly be given the same rights. We're all human beings at the end of the day! And that should be what counts. It's all down to personal choice and the way people choose to live their lives again; the same applies to religion etc., so if all these people can be treated equally then the same should apply to everyone else.

They should have the same rights as everyone else! It isn't fair just because they are in the minority that if a gay couple are in a relationship for donkeys years and then one of them dies and the other gets nothing! Or has that changed now? But yeah they deserve the same rights. Gay marriage still isn't legal here which frustrates me! Actually marriage laws in general suck in Ireland!

Gay/Bi/Straight/Transexuals all deserve the same treatment as they are god's people.

Im a bisexual and I am proud. I agree that Gay Marriages have now been accepted and finally people are taking them seriously.

Im glad your proud of your sexuallity and to come out with it, Homosexuality and bisexuality, - there is nothing wrong with it, and once people learn to accept it, they will see, they are just the same as everybody else.
Good for you :thumbs:

Yeah i agree you shouldnt be ashamed of your sexial life becasue its your and no one elses and its up to you what you are into

But not all marriages are religious though. A man and woman can be legally married in a non-religious ceremony.

Two of my gay friends got 'married' last year...I couldn't be more happy for them. They have been together for about 7 years, both have excellent jobs, pay their taxes, contribute to society, and are law abiding citizens. What right does anyone have to say that they should not have the same rights as anybody else?
