Love, Incest, and the Mafia

If a complementary relationship hinges on procreative sex, are these relationships unnatural?

Should they be allowed to marry? No, they have not.

Dozens of studies have shown gay people to be entirely capable of raising children. While it is true that many reputable studies have shown two-parent families tend to be most beneficial, the gender of the parents has never been shown to matter.

What is Kobo Super Points?

The studies cited by actively homophobic organisations like the Coalition for Marriage were funded by anti-gay organisations, or have basic methodology flaws — for example, they would compare married straight couples with un-wed gay couples, or they would take a person who may have had a single curious experience with the same sex and define them as exclusively homosexual. Sometimes, the even more disingenuous will reference studies [PDF] which do not even acknowledge gay parents. Same-sex parents are simply presumed by biased researchers to be equivalent to single parents and step-parents, and therefore use the data interchangeably, which as anyone with an ounce of scientific literacy knows is not the way such studies work.

When marriage is a civil, legal institution of the state, the citizenship has a right to redefine marriage in accordance with established equality laws. Asking to be included within marriage laws is certainly not equivalent to imposing gay marriage on the majority. A petition by the Coalition for Marriage claimed to have , signatures in opposition to gay marriage in the UK. It should come as no surprise that the directors of the organisation are religious and manipulation of the results was easy. A single person could submit their signature online multiple times providing they used different email addresses which were not verified.

Programs that allow for anonymity of IP addresses also enabled anyone around the world to add their signature. The majority of UK polls demonstrate a majority in favour of gay marriage. Even if most people were against gay marriage, which polls consistently show is not the case, majority will is no justification for the exclusion of a minority. For the same reason it is important to straight people.

Our relationships are just as loving and valid as heterosexual relationships, but our current marriage laws suggest it is not. We are equally human and we should be treated by the law as such.

To turn the argument on its head, one simply has to ask why society feels the need to segregate our rights from those of heterosexuals. It has nothing to do with approval, and has everything to do with equality.

Should women have compromised their right to vote? One does not compromise equal rights otherwise they are not equal rights. Civil partnerships were born out of politicians pandering to homophobia. While we must look closely to spot the homophobia inherent in some arguments against gay marriage, with others the prejudice is barely disguised at all. There is no concern here, only prejudice.

We can conclude this because there is absolutely no evidence to suggest gay marriage will harm society. Have the 11 countries where gay marriage is legal crumbled yet? Ultimately the argument turns out to be hyperbolic nonsense designed to instil confusion, fear, and mistrust of gay people.

If there is something immoral about legally acknowledging the love between two consenting adults, it would help the argument to state precisely what that is. This claim is based on the degrading preconception that gay people do not feel true love and just have sex with as many people as possible.

It is also beside the point - straight couples are not precluded from marriage on the basis they may be unfaithful, so why should gay people? That does not mean we should have the right to marry. Thank you for reducing the love I have for my long-term partner to friendship, incest or bestiality.

May also take the form: Ignoring the fact not everyone is gay, and also ignoring the fact gay people can and do have children through donors and surrogates, I actually quite enjoyed the apocalyptic images this argument conjured.

The Suffragettes famously marched together because they needed an excuse to compare clothing. Civil rights activists looked fabulous with hoses and guns turned on them. We are all mere lambs of our Queen Gaga. If this was really true, how come hundreds of everyday gay people protest outside anti-gay marriage rallies? How come thousands of people voice their support for gay marriage in polls?

I do not imagine there are many people who believe they deserve fewer rights or who desire to be second-class citizens. Yes, Ann Widdecombe , we do. We do not appreciate you mischaracterising what millions of us do and do not want, and squaring reality to fit your Catholic bigotry.

Yes, gay people can already get married … to people of the opposite gender. No, they are not allowed to marry the people they actually love. Or to put it another way: The Immortal Legend of the Kray Twins , John said the pair were spoilt by their mother Violet, Grandma Lee and their two aunties, May and Rose, while their father was soon dominated by the increasingly violent brothers. However there was a problem for the twins as back in the macho world of s East End it was seen as a weakness to be gay.

The brothers ran a notorious criminal network in the s building up an empire of nightclubs though hijacking, armed robbery and arson. Eventually the police got them and the Krays went to prison for murdering fellow gangsters George Cornell and Jack McVitie.
