This is so stupid. I don't even know why it's a debate. If you love someone you should be allowed to get married.
IM FROM IRELAND :D And I am so PROUD of our country for allowing gay marraiges !!! EQUALITY FORVEVER :D
So the Bible says gay people can't get married huh? Great! Now show me where it says so in the constitution >.>
It's just silly people who are trapped in their own prison of life that believe this garbage . We are aloud to be with whomever we love !
Which country are you talking about? Australian law specifically states they can't
I think the OP is being facetious and insinuating that gay people can get married, just not to other gay people.
If that was the OP's intent than he/she should have said homosexuals and not "same sex marriage". Because same sex marriage clearly means marriage between people of the same sex. And there are many laws against it in many countries around the world including the US where there are state laws and state constitutions that strictly prohibit it. Ateast until June when the Supreme Court overturns them.
But they can, anyone can hire a marriage celebrant, have a ceromony and fill out the forms saying they have a legal partnership. So whats the problem?
The problem is that marriage is supposed to be a legally binding contract and same sex marriage is not recognised under the law...which means there are no protected rights as a spouse: no joint tax returns, no financial protection in the event of a "divorce," no ability to make medical decisions regarding the spouse...or even access to medical records. As a non family member you wouldn't even be allowed to VISIT your spouse in the hospital if he/she were in a critical accident...
...Not to mention many other rights that aren't recognised when the marriage isn't considered legally binding...THAT is the problem.
It's allowed in Portugal. The fact that there isn't a law that prohibits it, according to you, doesn't validate it's legitimacy.
It's only logical. Putting it simple, it's not necessary a law that prohibits it because there's no legal recognition of it. You could stage a ceremony but it wouldn't be official.
