Here's my thoughts on it... "Marriage" is a religious term for the joining of a man and a woman. I think that gay couples should have every right that "married" couples get, as far as legalities go. Taxes, health benefits, inheritance, etc. However, I don't think they should call it a marriage. That's really what is pissing everyone off. I think the gay community would get a lot further alot quicker if they just quit calling it a marriage. Most religions do not permit "Gay Marriages". So instead of trying to change people's ideas on religion, just call it something else. Civil Union. Whatever you want to call it. I think the gay community is just fighting the wrong fight. Fight for your rights, not the term it's called.
Well....wait !
I said that I support it because, for some....it's happiness that they may not acquire thru any other means.
However doing it for tax advantages, and the rest of the nonsense is just a load of crap.
I'm sorry... you missed my point. I NEVER said they, either gay or heterosexual couples should get married because of tax advantages. What I meant was gay couples, married, union, whatever you want to call it SHOULD be entitled to all of the benefits heterosexual couples get for being married. Right now, they can't ( in most states) They are fighting to call it a "marriage" when it's not. A "marriage" started to be joined, a man and a woman, under God, Gods, Goddesses, whatever you believe. So quit trying to call it a marriage. Call it something else, but give them the SAME rights are heterosexual couples get.
Sorry, marriage is no longer a strictly religious institution. It is secular in that many laws are built around it. Giving homosexuals "everything but" the title of marriage is discrimination... separate but equal, anyone? |

Well, in order to not start a debate about what homosexuality is or isn't, just know that "morally" I have a problem with it.
Now, do I hate gays? Do I begrudge them for being who they are? No, and I never would. I just don't agree with it. Just like some people don't agree with someone being a Christian, or not agreeing with someone who supports the NRA, etc.
I have a problem with this line of thinking. Just because we "morally" have a problem with a certain individual or group of people does not mean we should deny them basic rights. The KKK and is allowed to exist despite MANY people "morally" having a problem with their behavior and beliefs. |

Funny, I'm pretty sure that us "big girls" don't need your approval to feel good about ourselves the way we are. And in my experience, it's the bigger girls who are not so obsessed with appearance and dieting, with being thin, with hating themselves and their body... for myself, I know that I have gotten over that, and love myself the way I am. It's called self-acceptance. I've been down that road... could I lose the weight if I was determined enough? Sure. But do I want to? Not particularly, especially because I spent a long time getting over self-esteem and food issues. If you can't appreciate me because I'm too "fat" for your standards, you can go back to masturbating over today's current beauty standards, supermodels that look like 12 year olds.
