Who people marry is none of my business. As long as you love each other and you’re not marrying a child my opinion should make no difference. Love is love.

I hate controversial topics but for some reason I feel like responding to this. Without getting political, because my views fall on both sides, as I believe most do, I can’t imagine why anyone would care who someone marries. I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry was a funny movie about 2 friends who got married for health insurance reasons (I think). I often hear things like this as an argument for how the world will be exploited by same sex marriages. I’m a mid 30s business owner married for 7 years. I’m in love with my wife, but the reason we got married 7 years ago was because I had a health issue that was going to be expensive without health insurance, so we got married and I got immediately added to her policy. So a 50k problem cost me $500. So why is it different for someone who is gay.

Same as non same sex marriage.

Honestly it’s fine by me. If they are happy together I’m happy for them. I don’t see why they shouldn’t be allowed to be together and even get married :)

Its not for me but let other people make their own choices. They just have to accept not everybody will like that choice.

I don't care. It doesn't impact my life in a negative way . People get one life to live, if they aren't hurting anyone then let people live their lives. Why are people insistent on making other people's life's miserable just because they want to be happy in their lives.

I think that people can marry whoever they want. And if anybody got a problem with it, that’s their problem and nothing else.

Why would I have a problem with it? If the couple is happy, then good for them and I wish them the best together. If they’re happy, that’s all that matters. Nothing wrong with it.

I know it's not a popular opinion but I really, deep down, don't think that anyone should get married. Statistics show that the only thing that can truly prevent divorce is never getting married in the first place.

I don’t care. I’m just tired of hearing people talk about it like it’s a matter of life or death.

mywifeisamilf420 t1_iyf5sey wrote

it literally is a matter of life or death in some countries, and so many people are still being bullied and hurt and killed for being homosexual even where same sex marriage is legal.

Apart-Window-1792 t1_iyf6lbk wrote

I mean homosexuality could be. But same sex marriage itself isn’t. Like if homosexuality is legal but marriage isn’t, you aren’t going to die. You can still be with your partner for life. A marriage certificate is just paper.

Right. But I said “a matter of life or death” not if it’s fair or not.

Many people are killed each year simply for loving someone of the same gender. No, they do not simply “fall over dead”. Even being accused of homosexuality can lead to torture in some places.

chunwookie t1_iyf9bgf wrote

You are acting like the only benefit of marriage is tax related. There are a host of other factors that are important too. Inheriting property, medical and legal decision making, among others. Preventing a couple who are committed to each other from marrying simply because they can't have children needlessly complicates their lives. It also ignores the possibility that the two could choose to adopt children after marriage.

DeerTrivia t1_iyfb2ev wrote

Since when is the goal of human society to produce a flourishing human population? We're already well on our way to being overpopulated, and I'd argue there's a pretty large chunk of people who aren't flourishing right now. If anything, letting LGBTQ+ adopt children would do more for modeling and promoting a stable family unit than leaving those kids in foster care.

Good thing those experiments have already been done, and found no difference in outcomes.

> I’d say the goal of every organism is to flourish so I guess that’s been our goals since forever.

Clearly not, when huge societies like China tightly control population growth.

"Humanity" has no goal. You could say as a species we have an evolutionary drive to propogate, but we ignore or overcome our evolutionary limitations all the time. And more importantly, not every member of that species feels that need to propogate. Homosexuality occurs in many different species. So why should they be held to an evolutionary standard that doesn't apply to them?

At least 90% of worldwide problems are caused by overpopulation. There were 2,6 billion people in 1950, 70 years later it's 8 billion. With this growth we simply cannot survive.

If two happy men or women decide to love eachother and not have a baby, it's only better for the world.
