am i against gay marriage? no im not gay(not quite. im bi, though, if it matters), but i have alot of friends irl who are gay (or bi) and when they have had partners, they were very happy with it. had they wanted to stay together forever (they, however, were too young to considering a permentant relationship) i think that they should have the right to make it "official". there is no reason to make it illegal, especailly based on "religious" reasons, which very often is referring to christianity in these arguments. they act as though they INVENTED marriage and own the right to it, and they have the final say in who can have the benefits from it. marriage has been around since ancient times in 1 form or another. im fine with people not wanting to see gays makeout/show affection publicly, i understand it (personally i dislike anyone doing it in public really), but their personal beliefs on the subject shouldnt mean it has to be banned also out of curiosity, anyone know what the laws are in australia involving it? i dont know and dont know where to look >_>
