I have a strange feeling about that. Is that really OK? - I doubt it. I mean doesn't this question the meaning of marriage? Sodom & Gomorrah? End-time?
The end is nigh! Repent all your sins! Oh wait, I'm reading from the wrong page, the one I was looking for was I hope Mr John and Mr Furnish are very happy together.
Good Luck to them. It's about time it was equal rights. You can't help who you love. I hope they have a very happy future together.
So, now they're legally married and together with 500 other homo or lesbian couples. How can I explain to children when they ask me about this? How is the society as a whole going to be effected? Could it be that Blair divorces his wifes and marries Bin Laden? Could be a way of showing good influence and fight terrorism successfully. Will there be tactical marriages to get more influence in other regions? I mean people from the upper house could marry influencial Arab leaders and so on : Quo Vadis
The Queen will become King and change the titel for 'Sir' Elton to 'Lady' Eliton John then. I see, I see How will they call each other 'husband and wife'???
There is already a huge thread on this here...I have absolutely no problem with it. I don't particularly like Elton John but what he does is his own business. It doesn't affect me at all if two dudes get married
Thats allright, but what's about the legal consequences in society then? It turns my stomache upside down when I think about it. What kind of infrastucture is the govt trying to implement? For me that goes pretty deep. I can indulge homo or lesbians, but an implementation like this is impossible, the damage to society immeasurable.
What damage? I don't understand why its making you sick, no one is saying you have to marry a guy. Lots of things aren't for me but I don't impose my own preferences on other people.
Quo Vadis I'm not imposing my own preferences on others but trying to get a bigger picture and that looks not good.
What bigger picture? You are really bothered that one half of a committed couple would be entitled to the inheritance of the other in the case where there is no will? Or that they could visit their partner in the hospital if they were to get sick during family visiting hours? Which part decays society? I would think recognized love and commitment was a good thing. Even if it wasn't for you.
There would be sure better ways to solve visitation problems for hospitals and others like inheritance; I personally have no problems to visit patients after hours even they're not relatives. - Arguements are always relative - the question is, is it really allright? - No
So basically anyone can visit anyone? There is a reason after hours hospital visits are limited to relatives only. Thank you God for declaring that its not alright...Why don't we just round them all up and get rid of them You haven't made a single point why it harms society to allow a civil union...Just continually stating its wrong isn't a discussion
Apparently Elton John is a danger to children Huh? There are medical reasons you can't have tons of people visiting hospital rooms at all hours...Not to mention those protections are there to ensure the much needed rest of the patient.
Quite a lot Married couples with children are called families. In my humble opinion it is undermining marriages and families. How would you explain it to the kids? Telling the kids you're the last of the species "chidren" and that the future will be just materialistic without you bastards? We're going to finish with this tradition and children will be bought in automats? - perfect ones - spotless - with genes treated samen only? Homos and lesbians take over the holy law of a marriage and that we can't win against the anti-christ?
Many people choose to not have children...I don't see the population plummeting You almost seem to be saying that if it wasn't for the civil union legislation, all these gays and lesbians would instead meet a nice girl/guy and start a family. I do find it funny that your issue is explaining it to your kids...Thats what parent are for, to explain these things and make sure your kids don't grow up as sheltered and intolerable adults.
