We can put all these homosexual couples there, let them marry each other, have children (if they are able to - maybe they are going to become in a few years time lol).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I don't mind homosexual couples, marriages... Put your penis wherever you want but I don't want to see you kissing in public. It's just disgusting. Do not want to be found as nuts ? Hide in your flats and do whatever you want.&lt;br&gt;But when it comes to having a baby (can it be said like that ?) - think about your baby - do you want it to be pointed at school as the one who has two fathers/mothers insted of one of each sex ?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Homosexual marriages should be banned and people fighting for legalizing it - should be forced to cure themselves.&lt;br&gt;And that's my opinion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Homosexual marriages- against the natures law?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/HomosexualMarriagesAgainstNatures/34/zzhmm/Post.htm#444409</link><pubDate>Tue, 20 Nov 2007 13:49:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:444409</guid><dc:creator>Mike in Japan</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/HomosexualMarriagesAgainstNatures/34/zzhmm/Post.htm#444409</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-444409.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>lol&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Homosexual marriages- against the natures law?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/HomosexualMarriagesAgainstNatures/34/zdqbc/Post.htm#436987</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Oct 2007 22:37:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:436987</guid><dc:creator>Ignaz1</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/HomosexualMarriagesAgainstNatures/34/zdqbc/Post.htm#436987</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-436987.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>the nature gives no purpose of homosexual partnerships but we have our own minds and can define ourselves on our own&lt;br&gt;people who are against homosexual partnerships live in the stoneages, are racist or take the laws of the nature a bit too direct.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;if they love each other the gender does not matter as long as they are happy&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Homosexual marriages- against the natures law?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/HomosexualMarriagesAgainstNatures/34/zdqrj/Post.htm#436977</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Oct 2007 21:34:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:436977</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/HomosexualMarriagesAgainstNatures/34/zdqrj/Post.htm#436977</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-436977.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;i think that if they truly love each other than let them get&amp;nbsp; married .

No one is really listening. Forcing ones beliefs down&amp;nbsp; someone's throat hardly makes any sense. We are certainly not here to do anything we like. Hence the law of the land. There are those who indulge in bestiality and child abuse and many other perversions. If you believe in a God all men women are loved by&amp;nbsp;Him whatever their life style. Obviously people believe on religious grounds that homosexual marriages do not make sense. So be it. I tend to agree. However there are some who think otherwise and quote the law of the land. They have every right to their opinions but we must learn to accept and respect another point of view.

We're talking about freedom, and in these case freedom means everybody can fall in love with whom he/she likes. Then, if two men or women want to get married (they don't need to, but that's the same for heterosexual couple) why can't they not?? &lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;"To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for
richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish
'till death do us part."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two men (or two women) can do this the same. But if the Church doesn't approve the homosexual marriage, then they can get married in the registry office (in some countries, like Spain e.g). &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The most important thing is that we learn not to interfere in the other's lifes. You are heterosexual? Ok. But be tolerant and accept there are people who love in a different way than you and must have the same rights.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
