Do you consider homosexuality to be a problem that the government needs to address?

Ain't nothing wrong with 2 attractive girls making out

That's just the bait. Before you know it, it's two slightly uglier girls making out. Then it's one butch and one fem. And then, next thing you know you're livin' in a van down by the river.

Hey, I LIKE my van! :|

agree

One problem with this is that things such as [straight / gay] marriage (and everything attached to marriages, such as tax benefits) are tied to government.

I think that's his point. I also think we should give no benefits to marriages and just make it an equal playing field. Screw the idea that in order to get special privileges, I have to marry someone.

 

[Gooberlx2]

The only thing that needs to be addressed ("fixed") is legally relabeling "marriage" as "domestic partnership" and applying the term to everyone. Then whoever wants to say they're "married" can do as they please...and it's means nothing as far as the fed/state gov'ts are concerned.

Seriously, I was thinking about this after that thread on that nutball congresswoman from Oklahoma or where ever the fuck she was from.

Personally, I think politicians should shut the hell up about religion and sexuality. Too often they end up sticking their jackbooted foot in their pie hole anyway either by words or by their actions (tapping foot in the mens room at an airport for example). Homosexuality is not a problem anyone needs to address...especially not our government.

I voted no to the question, but a more serious problem we should vote on is Jules spelling pole correctly

it's POLL

unless my meter is broken, it's quite common (and intentional) for people spell poll wrong here.

homosexuality is not a problem.

their is a problem though; and that relates to the people who think that it is a problem/. I'm not sure whether or not this problem does need to be addressed, a la affirmative action.

 

[child of wonder]

The government should get out of the affair of marriage altogether. It should be a religious affair, nothing more. Anyone can get married to as many people/things/animals as they want but no one has to officially recognize it. Eliminating the income tax would also mean the government has no real reason to recognize marriages, either.

Second, the government needs to tax religions just like any other business. They should not get preferential treatment.

 

[waggy]

only problem with homosexuality i see is people think its any of there business to tell people what they do about it.

the goverment should keep its nose out of it. just as they should keep there nose out of what me an my wife do.

Not sure what you want them to do about it.

But they should definitely put some funds toward curing homosexuality. No matter what you say it is NOT normal or the way people are supposed to be. Something is very broken in the human brain and DNA if two creatures of the same sex are attracted to each other. If monkeys all started wanting to mate with turtles everyone would be like "what the hell this isn't right!". Just because the gay community is so outspoken and make themselves so noticed doesn't mean it normal or right.

Now that would of course be their right or not to decide if they wanted to take the drug to cure them. I'm betting you'd get quite a lot that would. Then the rest of the gay community who didn't take it would stand up against it and fight even more to not look abnormal.

A cure for what?

A cure for homosexuality. What else?

Why do we need to cure it? That's like trying to find a cure for being black.

do they have a cure for being Canadian?

Absolutely not. The government has no right to impose on someone's sexual tendencies/preferences unless they are harmful to another individual (children and such).

Homosexuality is not a "problem" that needs to be dealt with.

It's not just as simple as taxes, but legal, beneficiary and insurance rights are also hinged on legal unions/marriage.

My feeling is that it should be legal so long as it's between two legal aged, conscenting adults and leave it at that.

:thumbsup: Feel free if it becomes a flame war. I didn't intend it to become one though.

 

[jjones]

Yes. If the government can't interfere with the lives, and regulate the morality, of individuals then what good is it.
