Do you think Gays and Lesbians should have the same rights as Heteorsexuals? Do you think they should allow Gays and Lesbians get married? Should they legalize same-sex marriage? |

Yes. Of course they should. Marriage and relationships isn't a gender issue, it's a love issue. Why can't people just understand that? Homo/bisexual persons are people just as heterosexual ones. They shouldn't be viewed differently, or have less rights, and so on. It's all about love in the end, isn't it? |

I think they should they should. If two people love each other and they want to get married they should. I'm alright with it. Statics say Gays and Lesbians have long lasting relationships than Heteorsexuals do. I have Straight,Gay,Lesbian and Bisexual friends. And I am okay with. My best friend is a Butch Lesbian. Why can't they get treated equally. Like the rest of us. Just let them live their lives. I do not see what the big deal is. It all has to do with Politics and Religion. We all got are opinions though. Terena. |

yea I think it should be legalized.. the only thing thats preventing this is the fact that most Christian thinks its a BAD INFLUENCE and BAD IMAGE to the children when they have to grow up witnessing the sexual oddities.
Well.. I think little children should be exposed to it while they're very young.. that gay / lesbian is no big deal and is to be expected. So when they're older.. it won't be a culture shock to them as to the way we see things today. |

I agree with you!
unfortunately I live in a immature country. Here, people think that being gay, bi, lesbian or whatever, they are against the rules of society. I'm bored of the descrimination. I'd love to live ina a country that everyone has the same rights. I'm sure one day here we will have freedom of speech, freedom of being what we want to be, etc., but not yet.. and that's the problem.
I mean...teenagers in my country are open minded, the majority understand that everyone and every sexual condition is OK, but the problem is that some parents or old people don't agree, then the topic is converted in a tabu!
anyway.. I'm sure we will have freedom of sexuality here at least... but when? in 20 years?... |

Same-sex marriage is legal in lots of places, and it should definitely be legalized everywhere else (including the US). If two people are in love with each other, they should be allowed to get married, regardless of their sexuality. |

I mean. This shouldn't even have to be discussed! Every human being deserves the same rights as everyone else, no matter which gender they're off, religion, ethnics, sexuality, skin colour, age, physical ability, and so on. Why is that so hard for some people to understand? |

It IS legal, and of course it should be. Love as love. You don't marry the person for the gender, you marry the person cause you love the person. |

Yes, it is. The reason that some people disagree, is because they (still?) think homosexuality is a choice, and thus, homosexuals can easily become heterosexuals again, by (and this is a true quote of a TEACHER on my former school) "turning their back on Satan." Those people think homosexuality is a crime (on humanity), and therefore homosexuals should be punished. I pity these people, for being unable to think in a normal way. |

Same, especially as I'm one of those who suffer for their narrow views. I mean, even if homosexuality wasn't allowed 2000 years ago, I mean, we live in the 21th century. If we were to follow all the laws from around 0, we'd still be cutting hands of thieves!
So.. yeah. |

I'm proud to say it's completely legal here in South-Africa, as it should be the world over. If two people love each other, what does their gender have to do with anything. Love is love.
Thanxx to the Netherlands for being the fore-runner in this subject, helping break down barriers of prejudice, injustice and discrimination.
The more countries that follow, the better.
Would be interesting to know which countries allow it.
The ones I can think of are:
South-Africa
The Netherlands [and colonies I suppose]
Belgium
Sweden
Germany
Finland
Norway
Denmark
Switzerland
Canada [Recently I believe]
[Correct me if I'm wrong]
Can't think of any others.... Anyone else know any others? |

Yes. Of course they should. Marriage and relationships isn't a gender issue, it's a love issue. |
Relationships may be a love issue, but marriage is a legal issue. And the government is supposed to be blind to race, religion, and GENDER, right? At least that's how it is in principle. Thus, in principle, because the government cannot make judgement on the basis of gender because it knows not of any such thing called gender (or race, or religion, etc...), any kind of legal partnership should be available to any combination of genders.
I personally don't believe that the government should marry people anyway. Marriage is a religious thing, really, and the government has no place in that. If anything, they should give civil unions to EVERYONE and let the churches decide who they want to join in "holy matrimony."
Some people have suggested that straights should be given marriage and gays should be given civil unions. For what? It's the same thing, different name. The only thing holding people back on giving gays something called "marriage" is some notion of tradition and, for some, religious reasons. Anyway, the U.S. has compromised like this before. It was called segregation. Anyone remember how great that worked out? Separate, but equal, ay? The very fact of separation implies inequality, even if there really isn't one in this case. So if there really isn't inequality between marriage and a civil union, why separate them?
Like I said, they should just give everyone civil unions. |
