Default Can gay "weddings" work at all?

We are constantly told that men think about sex every 7 seconds, that they are non biologically monogamous, that our make up is to procreate with as many as possible to spread the gene pool etc

Women are different and need to keep a mate etc they counterbalance the male urges etc and thus the 2 are well suited.

So what hope do 2 men who are homosexual have of having a steady and happy relationship. Should this whole gay "wedding" thing be scrapped as it is a non starter or do 2 men being together by law somehow biologically change?

Surely lesbian "weddings" make much more sense?

Misleading title. You're thinking more about 'marriage', eh? Because, of course, gay weddings can and do work. It's two of the same sex reading vows rather than one of each sex.

Inevitably less gay weddings are going to happen than straight weddings. There is very little incentive to start a family and men are generally less inclined towards monogamy, but people should still have the choice either way. One size doesn't fit all.

This.

All people are different. And everybody has different levels of psychological components. In other words, you could have a really sexually active woman and a co-dependant man.

From my own observations the major threat to any gay marriage is that is it constantly being judged. If someone (or two people) are being judged more than straight people then it puts more pressure on them.

But what can potentially make a gay marriage stronger is the above. They have both been through the same pressures and then this can draw them closer together.

At the end of the day, this is crap because every individual is different.

Whilst everyone realises that obvious point that does not help make policy, rules and legislation - it does not help us see trends.

it would also render this part of the forum redundant.

I do not see people raising this point when talking about Christians, Muslims, Catholics?

raising what point that Catholics, Muslims and Christians are all individuals too? Of course they are

You're very dull sometimes LT in your efforts to classify, tag or condemn groups that you have absolutely no regard for. Remember you compared murderers to homosexuals in another thread involving Jesus? It's fairly transparent to me what you're trying to achieve here.

LT, it seems like your thread topics are aimed at stirring up the masses. Between you and me, it always seems to fall flat; you paint yourself as ignorant/stupid and that is all. Your threads are forgotten and only your shortcomings remain.

All threads are forgotten, hence their charm and if they did not stir up the masses (or the handful of folk here) they would get no replies.

Threads like "isnt the world lovely" "i like everyone" and "oh what a gay day" would be about as popular as your last thread which was retired with no replies.

This is a legitimate question, I think your holier than thou posts would be better directed at karezza.

take away my threads and this bit of the forum may well be thread bare.

if you dont like the thread either make a new one or keep out

I don't get why your debating this. If you don't have to marry a man, it shouldn't be a problem. Unless ofcourse you are going to marry a man and you're simply curious if you're marriage would work.

"Women are different and need to keep a mate etc they counterbalance the male urges etc and thus the 2 are well suited."

Not true. Hence why men are gay, they don't like women. End of.

Everybody is different and wether you choose to believe it or not, being gay/lesbian is normal these days. So yes, gay weddings work as much as a straight wedding. Both can be as happy as each partner makes it, it's not down to ones sexuality at all.

But you are missing the point. Your point is valid if men and women were biologically similar with similar sexual needs and profiles. Surely 2 men will be in greater danger of infidelity?
