I think the issue that is being disscused so profusely is not relevant at all in 80% of the countries(especially Islamic and Roman Catolic).
I possibly can not see homosexual marriages becoming legal in many parts of the world any time soon, besides I guess not many people would want to do it anyway.
I had known quite a few gay-couples, none of them wanted to get married ....

Maybe that's because they have not find the right person yet, it happens with heterosexual couples aswell, doesn't it? ![Smile [:)]](/emoticons/emotion-1.gif) ..seems that you are all against homosexual marriages except me, won't I be defended? ![Stick out tongue [:P]](/emoticons/emotion-4.gif)

Hi Ana , I can't agree, I really don't think a homosexual couple with some children would be normal at all. You would tolerate homosexual families? I wouldn't... What you say implies that homosexual families would become normal once we get used to them... Well, to show you my point, I wrote some funny examples for you, but the mods deleted my post! They probably didn't think my examples and jokes were so good. If I go on like this I'll soon find myself beginning my posts with "G'day Ana"... LOL ![Wink [;)]](/emoticons/emotion-5.gif)

You're not the only one.
Gays and lesbians are people and should have the same rights as the rest of the people.
A child of either sex brought up by a gay couple or a *** couple will be homosexual or not exactly the same as any other child brought up by an heterosexual couple.
In fact I think that a female child brought up with two gay parents has many more chances to be happy and safe than any female child growing up in a traditional family where the father is a sex obsessed child molester.
And I would like to know who is going to stop me having a child with my best gay friend if we decide to have it, and be as untraditional a family as we want to be.
Unmarried mother, gay father, and gay godfather. So what?

Gays do not of course need to get married to earn respect, but it is one of the reasons for having same-sex marriage.
Everyone keeps harping on about procreation, yet those who do have failed to respond to my question about a man and woman getting married when one of them is infertile. If someone does not respond soon I am going to have to assume it is because they have no answer to the question.
One of the most important reasons for having gay marriage is to give same sex partners the same rights that heterosexual married couples take for granted. Imagine what it must be like for a partner of somone dying to be denied hopsital visiting rights because the family objects.
As for adoption, in practice some children are already being brought up by gay couples. It is not difficult for a *** to get pregnant. If a gay man gets custody or his wife has died how many countries have laws that say he cannot bring up his child whilst living with another man. Whatever the causes of homosexuality, there is clearly a biological or hereditary factor involved so being brought up by gays is not going to make you gay. And so what of it does?

In the previous post a *** is a female homosexual. I cannot imagine why that word is censored. It really is quite unacceptable.

Forbes:
It was censored in my post, too. I am as surprised as you are.
Please don't include me in "everyone is talking about procreation".
What I said is that there is nothing wrong in marrying the person you love.

Just for the record I know the censorship is automated and presumably comes as a package with the forum. I have no problem with censoring some words that many would find obscene or blasphemous, though I am inclined to think it is silly. I can just about tolerate not being able to refer to male chickens and certain features of drainage systems, but the censored word is perfectly respectable and quite apart from anything else refers to a native of Lesbos. If the moderators have any control over the censorship thingy can they please go and put a tick against the word in question (or as the case may be take the tick off)? Failing that, can they complain to the host? Mod says; 'lesbian' is now uncensored :-)

I did not literally mean everyone - it is just a turn of phrase.

Kooyeen, we'll never agree, will we? Isabella, are you really having a baby from your homosexual friend? That reminds me to that serie, "Aquí no hay quien viva" , it might be fun if he is similar to the boy of the serie!
