Gays get really stupid, agree?

Question

An initiative filed by proponents of same-sex marriage would require heterosexual couples to have kids within three years or else have their marriage annulled. Initiative 957 was filed last month by Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance. That group was formed last summer after the state supreme court upheld Washington's ban on same-sex marriage.

This is what you get for being nice.

Answer 1

An argument many people who are against same sex marriage hold is that unions between a man and a woman are designed for procreation. Therefore, some have fird back that those who get married must have kids or they are ruining their own argument. I think the word silly would be better than stupid...I think gay people, like myself, are more trying to make a point than really think that this is a necessary law to try and pass.

Answer 2

Your exactly right! I'll not try to be PC here, oh no my friend. The Gay community wants to be married, but can't seem to settle for a Civil Union. They DESERVE to be married because other people can get married, you know, the same heterosexual people that have been getting married since we've had the written word. Now their just being asses about the situation. You see, Marriage is and has always been a bond between heterosexual couples, but that's not fair. Bullshit. Perhaps we should give girls the right to join the Boy scouts or vice versa. Stupid indeed. Some will say, "that's not the same". Is it not? Gay people deserve the rights of all Americans as do girl scouts, but that doesn't mean America must be redefined to accommodate what is obviously unnecessary.

Answer 3

Hi from another Arkie.

I just want to say that THEIR POINT in the "have kids or annul marriage" is that marriage is NOT ALL about HAVING CHILDREN! The ones trying to keep it away from us say it is, however, many, many straight couples can't, or choose not to have children. IF having chilren is the only reason for marriage, then they should have their marriages annulled on the grounds of non-productivity. THAT'S THE POINT. Its not seriously asking for anything but for Judges to look at the LANGUAGE of a court document and see how double speak it is, and thus how it can be abused by law makers.

That's where the system of Checks and Balances comes in, to correct these items.

As far as you "being nice or not nice anymore." I doubt we'll notice the difference.

Answer 4

The Defense of Marriage Alliance is a republican right-wing organization that wants to end gay marriage... The idea is that they are going to come up with "legal reasons" that gays cannot be married... they are losing steam (and money) very quickly.

You are such a tard.

This is completely ignorant but what's worse is how many people answered this question just assuming that you had your facts straight.

Answer 5

Well, if the sanctity of marriage needs to be protected to make sure people are marrying to start families, there are a few things that need to be done. We need to ban birth control and condoms for straight people. We need to get rid of divorce altogether. We need to make sure that no infertile straight people get married. Our post-menopausal grandmothers should have to separate from our grandfathers. It's all silly.

It makes more sense just to say that marriage is meant for two people that are in love. Let gays have the right to marry. It won't hurt anyone. The straight community needs to stop being so selfish.

Answer 6

Hmm, it doesn't sound like you have been "nice" within recent memory, from the tone of this "question."

Perhaps you don't appreciate the irony of LGBT people being told over and over and over again that they aren't "natural," since they can't "have children" [by the way, they can] - and then applying this same rule to straight couples.

Personally, I think this initiative is a stupid idea.
However, it is no more ignorant than some of the bigotry that some people lob against LGBT people. And generalizations too, he said, looking up at the question.

Answer 7

Personally I see the point as AS valid as a ban on same sex marriage. I also think that divorce should be outlawed. There should be NO REASON to get a divorce. I mean marriage is so precious and heteros want to protect it so much - why even offer a divorce. It should be 'until death do us part'.

Answer 8

actually, i don't think they're stupid... i'm beyond that. I actually pity them. They are worrying and carrying on about things that they don't even know about, and that don't concern them... it's almost like the end of the world... they're like the spoiled brat who cries when he/she doesn't get their own way... you know, like the children you see at the mall who want candy but aren't allowed to, or that brand new toy with the flashing lights... I just hope that they grow up and see how pathetic and immature they've been. That'd be the most embarrassing thing that could happen to them... finding out how childish they've been.

Answer 9

This is obviously meant to highlight the stupidity of the judges' and various politicians' opinion that marriage is for procreation. I'm sure it won't pass. I don't agree with the method--it takes up productive time and taxpayer money--but I do think the point needs to be made.

Answer 10

it sounds like a statement to promote thought; gays are talented and creative so if something in the chromosomes go wrong; it triggers in other areas of creativity; I always thought that marriage should be a renewable contract; before you enter into the contract you outline (like you do in a will) the terms if it dissolves ; in 3 years each has to agree to renew; you are always on your best behavior b/c you know that 3 years is around the corner and if you love each other and treat each other well then you both just renew ; seems like a better system than what we have now and everyone can participate .
