My views on gay mariage

[kılıç_mehmet]

Actually I have no plans to get married but I do not expect the same from others. Marriage is built on economic factors as well as tradition, I have no problems with people marrying for either or both reasons. What I have a problem with is dictating others lives over stupid arbitrary bullshit.

I know that you aren't.
Since now you've accepted that marriage is built on tradition, I guess my arguments from tradition are quite acceptable from now on.

Dictating others lives I'm not. Though you are telling me to make marriage into some book club that anyone can enter. Marriage is an institution that is beyond you, me or anyone else. It is a sacred, old institution that has laid the basis of a family. It cannot be dictated around by the whims and fancies of fanciful people.

Infertile couples do not always respond to science and still cannot have children. It still stands whether you like it or not. And again, gay couples can adopt too.

Also, have fun:

Straight couples will not suddenly disappear if gays marry, and there will still be children. No problems. Who would have thought.

If not, as I said, they can still go and adopt. I don't know why you still use infertile couples as an argument, although I said that they do conform with the standards of marriage, without being able to conceive children, they can still raise children in accordance with whatever values marriage dictates. Gays cannot. And I know that in certain places gays do have that privilage, yet the fact that they do doesn't mean that I do approve of it. However they can't in my country, and they probably never will be.
The article you've sent me, well it still tells me nothing what I didn't say before. The contexts may have changed, just as in my country, whereas polygamy was legal before the secular law was adopted, it was declared illegal after legal law was adopted.
However the purpose of the marriage still did not change, which was to provide a basis for the family. Which still included a husband, wife and children. Nothing that you can do or say, will change this fact in the eyes of people who adhere to these traditions, yet you will be quick to point out that they are reactionaries, fascists and bigots.
