I've always thought that Brazil was a better place than that. The pictures of Rio and Carnaval depict an anything goes, live and let live, joie de vivre mentatlity. Your neighbor Argentina has made gay marriages legal. Please tell me that ppl that think like you are not the majority in your country.

Don't be embarrased. Just stop watching them kiss.

Um thanks for clarifying. Look close and you'll note that this thread is nothing but opinions, starting with the OP. At least I stated a useful fact along with my opinion.

Then mind your own business and don't watch.

And as others have said, it wasn't a marriage. It was a civil union. Get it right.

Well if I am the minority (which I do not believe) then let me be the vocal minority and say I am whole heartily against gays using the word marriage to define their sinful ways.

The only sin here is your hatred and bigotry and desire to treat gay people as lesser citizens deserving of fewer civil rights than you.

Since you're apparently hung up on words, I figure you might want to be informed that the word is wholeheartedly, not whole heartily. But then again, it's not really anyone else's business what word you use, now is it?

I dont understand people who dont support gay marriage. I mean, what do you care what others do with their lifes? How does two people you dont know loving eachother and marrying affects your life in any way?

For me, it is just common sense. Everyone should have the same rights. If you dont understand this then, sorry, but somethings wrong with you.
