I am interested in finding out what people's opinions are on LGBTQ marriage.

I thought that I heard that if the supreme court deemed DoMA to be unconstitutional then it was only a matter of time until all states would have to recognize marriages which happened in states that do have it legalized. It was part of the reason that the LGBT group at my college was in such a commotion over everything. They believe that if it should be overturned that it will only be a matter of time before federal government recognizes Gay marriages and offers them the same protections as straight marriage and that all states will have to recognize (if not legalize) the marriages. So hopefully things continue to get better. Perhaps even sometime soon we may see such fantasies become realities.Caspen said:I know, at least for me, it's been hard living in a state nowhere near where a lot of states are, progress wise. I live in the south, South Carolina actually, and last time I checked I can never adopt. Single men are not even allowed to adopt by themselves, they have to be married, and since we don't have gay marriage here, I can't get married, and thus, cannot adopt a kid.
People keep telling me that things are changing and things will get better. Don't get me wrong, that's great for the states that do have those freedoms, but it doesn't seem to be changing here. I feel like we keep fighting for these rights in other states, but honestly I would settle for some tolerance where I live. For me, getting married and adopting a kid are just things I fantasize about, I know they won't happen in my state any time soon, but I don't think I should have to move from the only place I've ever known to get those rights, or even to just feel safe.
I've gone on a rant now, so... sorry, that is just my thoughts on the whole marriage thing.... Sorry if I got a bit off topic
That actually kind of says everything I'm thinking.Beta said:Now on to the supposed "Sanctity of Marriage". Everyone in America, Christian or otherwise, can see that the sanctity of marriage is utter bullshit anymore. I mean hell, people can get married in Vegas in 20 minutes while wasted, sleep it off, and get an annulment the next day. For real? Come on, world, get with the facts! This "Sanctity" is nothing more than an outdated excuse for religious zealots to cling to the ancient doctrines that have governed their faith for two millenia.
And that, that sums up my thoughts for the future. Person, I love your post.Zhia said:There a lot more things to argue over than this and I honestly just think we should move on.(when I say move on I mean in general not just about this thread). To me this is sort of like the whole "blacks and whites can't marry" thing back before the turn of the century. And I also think the result will be the same, that eventually everyone will gradually learn to get over it or accept it.
