  • I've come to a conclusion that I'm against gay marriage.

    I've been pro gay marriage for several years, but reading Poly has caused me to reassess my views.
    Gay cohabitation is not a problem: no one will send you to jail if you live with your homosexual partner and call him your husband. You have every right to do that. I'm not against churches recognizing your cohabitation as a marriage. What I am against is the recognition of your marriage by the state, which is what most gay couples actually want.
    When your cohabitation is recognized as a marriage, you get all sorts of benefits: you are included in the default inheritance order, pay less taxes, get hospital visitation rights, etc. But getting these benefits is not your right, it's a privilege. Why should the government provide these benefits to you but not other sexual deviants?
    Yes, homosexuality is a sexual devitation, like polygamy, pedophilia and zoophilia. You cannot even claim that homosexuality is different because both partners are consenting adults. Polygamists are also consenting adults, yet they have zero official recognition. Why should only homosexuality be elevated to the same level of recognition as the sexual norm? It already enjoys the benefit of legality.

    Polygamy should be legal, too.

        I would say at least 2 of the "privileges" you mention are actually rights ...
        that is, that the partner is included in the default inheritance order and that he gets hospital visitation rights.

        The only thing mentioned by you that one might see as a privilege (IMHO) is the tax reduction

            How come they are rights? Why isn't there an official BFF recognition that gives my best friend the same rights?

              Well, if your BFF is female she can get these rights, you just have to marry her
              with the added benefit of you both getting tax reductions.

                  What if a gay guy marries a gay woman?

                    Then the gay guy's partner marries the gay woman's partner and they swap IDs when they want to go visit to the hospital.

                      In Belgium cohabiting is almost like marriage, and most any two people who live together can set it up including mother/daughter and brother/brother and good friend/good friend.

                            I'd have no problem with polygamous marriage if all parties in the union give full and informed consent.

                              The day that I am married to my partner, should he die before me, I want to be able to visit him when he's on his deathbed.

                              So fvck you, Onodera.
