yup. it wouldn't be that hard. if you love your spouse, you are married. in whatever gods eyes you believe. the ones that have already been married and have the illegal certificate that proves it, they are still married. it doesn't change anything. only in the eyes of the government.

Cool Logic

Gays have the right to do whatever they want. They are still human and should be treated as such. People make too much out of this. They don't harm anyone that I know of and they do not try forcing any of their belief about being gay on anyone. People should leave them alone. Let them live their life and be happy. It is their right.

And so why are so many people opposed to what you have to say? All I can figure out is that people who disagree with you feel that gays are less than human because their sex acts, the sodomy, is so gross and highly repellent.

You do not approve of him disapproving. Interesting who are you tell someone that they don't have the right to disapprove?

I have made it clear i do not. I disapprove of people wrongly twisting information and attacking people on their beliefs. The poster disapproves of people who disapprove of his lifestyle.

i just want to inform that here in Norway
they now changed the partnership law.

gay's in registred partnership. have all rights as married.
xept adoption.

now same time they are now also tring to make mrrige open for all too. If thats happens the partneship law wil be removed.

i must admit i dont see y we need gay marrige when the new partneship law is so good.

i wud say the partnership is "non religis marrige" and marrige is a church thing.

What about making a good partnership law for gay's in usa?
If im not wrong some states have.
but then some stats dosent. like the one state some friends of me lived in. (They acctuly had to move when her gf recovered)

all the partnership law needs is
1. registration.
2. rights to decide ur partners medical issues. (like a husban goes over parrents and so on in normal marrige)
3. right to heritage with out personal will. (not sure but here when two marry this right goes even without personal will)
3. tax right same as married.

now if a gay couple wants his church approval. he got to go to his priest and ask for blessing. and priest can choose according to him or his church belewes.

I know this is heavy for many.. just see on all the strong arguments here.
evrything is not suposed to be made a law on. evrything dosent have to be the same for evry one... just similar.

a good partneship law wil take care og peoples right to love who they fall in love with.

the new partnership law here does that. and give same right to imigration laws as pep wh arry a forigain. ofc partnership/marrige does not automaticly gives u imigration free card here. i supose its same in usa.


unf ive seen in discusions like this that it goes from the issues and over to personal attacs. not sure if that has happen here. but if some feel that it just ruins the discusion for evry one.

this discusion is acctuly about respect. respecting each other. despite of difrentses
well bit oftopic.. sorry..

Bless someone is not the same as marry some.

I think thers no problem for a priest to bless a gay couple. if the priest wants too.
