Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
For two (or three) women yes. That's hot. For two men, no.
Women are all naturally at least bi. Men can stick to civil unions.

Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
I'm going to be that guy and say this poll doesn't have enough options. I think there is a decent population that doesn't care either way. It doesn't affect me, so I don't care. I will say that I don't like the government stipulating who can marry whom. But I'm not going to actively support same sex marriage by protesting anything, writing anyone, etc.

Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
Put your money where your mouth is!
Also, if you've already voted, do it again.
But seriously, if you don't care, that's like saying no.

Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
What is the point in a politically motivated poll on this board? You already know the results in advance, so why bother? Are you looking for ways to swell up in pride at running every conservative leaning person off of here?

Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
Saying that you don't care if a minority class of people is treated differently under the law is pretty shabby. At least have the courage to admit that you think it's OK to discriminate. Either you oppose inequity or you do not. Professing neutrality is nothing more than tacit approval.

Then paint a rainbow on me, put me in rubber chaps and add me to the Yes list, FFS. I'm not against it asshole. My best friend is gay and he doesn't seem to care either. Kilmoll's right.

Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
I'm sorry, I should have phrased that in different terms. I was speaking in the general, and not specific to you or the two people that explicitly stated they were indifferent (as opposed to you merely defending the position). I didn't quote any specific person for this reason, but I should have been more clear. Allow me to restate this more precisely:Ashur wrote:Then paint a rainbow on me, put me in rubber chaps and add me to the Yes list, FFS. I'm not against it asshole.

I think he is referring to the "piling on" that happens quite frequently. Granted, not all debates are civil, but I can see the perspective of some folks and things do get quite one-sided often.

Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
You guys create a poll and then redefine wtf the entries mean to suit your agendas. I think what Spang meant to post was was:
Do you want us to attack you or give you a reacharound?
A. Reacharoundplz!
B. Attack me!
I have a pair. I responded didn't I. I even stated my position. Which was, not surprisingly, similar to Kilmoll's: I really don't care.
I'm not against gay marriage, hey the more the merrier. Put it on the ballot and I may vote for it, but I'm not going to campaign for it because (once again) I don't really care. That doesn't mean I want people tattooed with numbers and sent to death camps.

Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
I voted that I don't care. What I mean by that is, "I don't care". I don't care if they are or are not being discriminated against. I don't care if they like man on man or woman on woman action. If I talk to some guy on the phone who happens to like pounding another man's puckered starfish so much he wants to marry him it makes no difference to me because to me he's just someone I'm talking to on the phone.
Until someone can show me how this is a bad thing other than not conforming to someone elses idea of moral normality I'm not going to care.
If push came to shove and I had to choose either yes or no I would lean more towards yes. There is a huge shortage of Love in this world so who am I to rain on their parade.

But the point is, the number of people here that want to listen to a loudmouth asshole pushing their extreme political agenda on these boards is lower than you seem to think.
It just isn't that funny anymore, and people are tired of it dude. And yes, I know plenty of "those people" I'm talking about don't like me, and I don't care, the point still stands.
EDIT:
On topic - I don't care. But if this would in any way cut back on the amount of "We're here, we're queer" type of shit the rest of us have to deal with, I'm 100% behind it.

Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
Let's clarify something a bit... There needs to be a line drawn between whether it matters to you if two people choose to marry and whether those two people have the same legal rights to marry as the majority of the population. One is a question of "should they," the other is a question of "can they." Hell, I don't really care if any couple chooses to marry, whether they're gay or straight because that's their business. My ambivalence towards other people's relationships isn't the issue, however. When asking if gays should be allowed to marry, the issue isn't whether or not Steve and Joe get married. It's not about whether or not one approves of gay relationships or is grossed out by gay sex. The issue is whether Steve and Joe should have the same fundamental rights to marry as David and Susan. The real question is, essentially, is it OK to deprive one group of people the same rights enjoyed by other people just because the nature of their relationship makes some people uncomfortable?
Bubba says he's OK with a group of people being discriminated against, and he's entitled to his own opinion on the matter. I'm curious exactly where the other "I don't care" voters stand on the real question.

Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
I suppose what I said is technically true. I should elaborate just a bit though. I don't care (and I know I probably should) if they are being discriminated against or not because it doesn't effect me or my family directly. We (my family) aren't racists, classists, sexists, or hold anything against you based on religion (unless so drasticly against what we believe in) or your sexual preference.
For me personally, this is all stuff that happens in the news or on the internet. I don't run into this at work, at home, at the store, or at a sporting event. For me it always is happening somewhere else, to someone else. In the grand scheme of things gay marriage is pretty far down on my priority list of cares. I care about supporting my family. All this stuff seems incredibly petty.
Do I personally discriminate? I probably do. Not to the point of outright hatred or rage. Just as something or someone I choose to avoid if I can. I believe it is your actions that define you more so than any label.

Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
Bubba - I can totally understand that it's an issue that you're not passionate about because it doesn't directly impact you or those close to you. There are plenty of issues for which my convictions just aren't strong enough for me to expend energy worrying about. I don't think that the point of Spang's question was to gauge the strength of our convictions on the subject, though. You don't have to be an activist to have an opinion. It doesn't commit you to writing letters, marching in the street or anything else to say "yes, I think they should have the right to marry" or "no, I think we should discriminate against this group of people."

Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
For those that see marriage as some sort of religious institution rather than a legal status, I'm more inclined to eliminate the word "marriage" from the government entirely. Out in the real world, the church's position on marriage is thoroughly irrelevant. The church has no say in if you get tax breaks, can adopt, or how inheritance laws apply to you, or resolve parental and spousal rights issues. That's the government's purview. Let the government issue unions for couples, gay and straight. Let marriage be a matter for the churches. If a church wants to recognize and sanction gay marriages, that's up to them.

Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
I agree with that. Religion can have the word "marriage", and anyone who is interested in their deity of choice recognizing their partnership should go ahead and get "married". If they want to use that status in a legal manner however, require a "civil union license" that can be notarized or whatever at the church if they're getting "married", or at a courthouse if they are just entering a "civil union".
Any problems with that?

If the question was "should gay couples have every right and benefit that straight couples do?" then I'll vote yes.

Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
That would be ideal, but people are tremendously attached to their labels, and the label "marriage" is so ingrained in our culture that most people would never want to give it up even if they just lose it as legal-speak. Even still, the religious right would not be happy just minding their own gardens. Sadly, the only real solution is to let it play out. I'm hopeful that equality will win out eventually.Xatrei wrote:For those that see marriage as some sort of religious institution rather than a legal status, I'm more inclined to eliminate the word "marriage" from the government entirely.

For those who selected "I don't care" the question didn't say anything about campaigning for the issue or whether it affected you. It's pretty obvious what was intended by the question. I suspect in some cases, some unacknowledged homophobia caused you to "misunderstand" the question, especially in the cases where some folks go so pissy in their responses too lol. Some people dont like questions that make them have to come to terms with their own bigotry I guess.

Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
What about if all homosexuals were rounded up and tickled until they were laughing uncomfortably?
It's pretty easy to say "well of course I don't want you to kill that group of people". No one is posting a poll like that because no one is going to answer that they want them dead. The poll, to me, seems like more of a "do you think we all deserve the same rights", and it's apparent that some people here think we do not.

Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
That is because you are using incorrect verbage. Every gay person has the same RIGHTS. You are arguing for benefits.

Re: Do you support same-sex marriage?
Which definition of "right" do you like to go with, and how does marriage not fit in it?
At any rate, right, benefit, whatever... The poll should then say "Do you think it's cool to discriminate against people?" And your answer is, unsurprisingly, yes.
The end.
