QUOTE said:
PARIS - The French Constitutional Court has determined Friday that the ban on gay marriage is constitutional.

French media reported this. A lesbian couple had filed a complaint against the ban.

The couple with two children wanted a civil partnership after ten years of the marriage act.

According to a French survey, nearly 60 percent of French people favor of legalizing marriage between two people of the same sex. In several countries in the European Union is a possible gay marriage, including the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain.

I feel like the topic title is extremely...offensive...
Homo's just feels too "Slang" and insulting when all you had to do was spell out the whole word, "Homosexuals"

Either way, kinda a shocker. I thought everyone over in Europe was chill with these kinds of situations.

I changed the topic title to be a little less offensive in terms of slang.

I'm not gay, but as a supported of gay rights, this is a sad day for human freedom. Another little bit of that freedom chipped away...

It's kind of interesting though. As a small child i visited France. That was my first encounter with homosexual people. At the time, i didn't understand why two women would be kissing one another. It seemed much more open (at least at the time) and public than it tends to be over here in the US. I too am surprised about this restriction. I always thought Europe was more open minded and accepting about homosexuality in general (some countries at least, France included).

Thanks for the title change, didn´t think of it.


Holland is very open minded!

I don't really understand why anyone would ban gay marriage.. I never did. How is it different to a normal marriage?
Did you really just ask that?
it's not that different, really, marriage is a matter of financial interest. We gays don't wanna marry for religious purpose.

It's a reasonable question, although I wouldn't put it as a normal, more like heterosexual.
There is no difference between a homosexual marriage and a heterosexual marriage, outside of that fact that one happens to be between 2 people of the same gender.

How is it different? That's an easy one. Marriage rituals tend to involve the great angry beast known as religion. Said great angry beast has been used time and time again over the years to legitimize people's fear of homosexuality. If the marriage rituals didn't involve religion, take place in a church, etc, the complainers really wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Love is a concept far removed from what gender you are.

How am I not surprised? I've despised the French government ever since Sarkozy took the throne. Things are starting to feel downhill in Southern Europe....

well under normal laws, it should be allowed cuz it doesnt affect the people but religiously it affects the morality of the society/country
logically (though i cant say i really am good at it), if the reason is religious, then why ban the burqa (veil of the face)? is it bcz of security reasons? then why ban this? is this also bcz of security reasons? do they feel that disallowing gay marriages will reduce... crime? what kind of crime is this other than religious?

i aint giving my clear opinion on this but if they allow gay relationships, cuz it becomes normal then who will stop something like (sorry for saying this) sleeping with their mothers cuz its freedom? would ppl reject this activity or allow it cuz of freedom? the problem i have with freedom is how far it goes and if a limit is established, why does it keeping changing? are humans changing (physically,mentally,morally)?

sorry for the questions cuz i didnt want to be starting a war here

thats not a tired argument or anything. gay marriage drive people towards incest! why can't we marry our pets!

you aren't born with incest tendencies. you are born gay. i think its hard for some straight people to grasp this because they haven't gone through what we have (coming out, finding out our sexual identity, etc).


i don't have faith that this thread will last long, judging by how long other similar threads lasted.

Wait, so you're saying that homosexuals want to be treated like everyone else as is their right as human beings?

What madness is this?

u trying to piss people off it has been proven time and time again that if you are gay or strait is deided at birth. this has been proven by science. incest is not decided at birth like if your gay or not.

i think what the french government is doing is horrible i am straight but i support gay marrage 200%. its not like you asked to be gay or not. but love has no gender is my belief

I think we should fund a search for a cure to homosexuality. It's obviously a defect that people are born with. Science needs to step in. Besides gays are really annoying. I'm over the whole gay thing. I can't understand this gay derangement syndrome that so many people have. Everyone is obsessed with gays. Wait and see what happens to the gays when Muslims become the majority in Europe and gays are treated the same why they are in Iran..
