Since everbody seems to want to ask me these question on my views.. its time I pose a question.
 
If a gay Man or Woman wanted to be your partner how would you react?   ( This has more important follow up)


Uhh I would say no? Just like any other normal straight person would do. BTW you still haven't answered my question on who gets harmed by same sex marriage.

So gays are not the norm?

I don't think he said that, but if my "norm" you mean "most people," no.  Define "normal"?

If a gay person asked me to be their life-long partner, I'd be flattered but a little concerned...I'm straight, and I'd expect anyone who knew me well enough to want to be my partner would understand that.

Either way, I'd probably react about the same way I would if a girl asked me to when I was already in a LTR, except without the third party involvement.  Basically, flattered I guess, wouldn't work out, you know that, so why are you asking?.

Don't see a reason to react any other way.  Are we going somewhere with this?

I'm saying the government could issue civil unions to all couples, and churches could decide what they call "marriage."  Why don't you like that?

And that would be the optimal solution.

Except that it isn't because you would be downgrading existing marriages (or voiding them and replacing them with something regarded as inferior). Or at least, that's how it would be seen.

...which is kind of a weird view in light of the basic intent of civil unions being establishing government equality, innit? (when it is.)

I'm aware that will probably never get passed in reality, but it's a nice place to meet for common-ground in theoretical Internet cyberweb debates.

Interesting to see how pro-gat rights people would react to that question and how they'd reply.

interesting how, out of curiosity?

Wanted to see if you really had rejections about homosexuals and if so why.  You clearly support the gay rights cause.

i don't get what else there is to do.  It's the same way I'd react if some girl who be knew me walked up and asked me.  Or if some girl who knew I wasn't relationshippable (for whatever reason) asked.  I'd consider it a wtf-y compliment.

what other reaction is there?  "yes, let's have a loveless gay relationship, it's always been my dream!"?  fisticuffs?  Tongue
