I will say this. It is against our rules to have such a topic. It is both Religious and Political as well as can have offensive terms. If I get contacted or anyone else does, the topic will be removed. Sorry but that is the way it has to be. As of right now, everyone is being civil. As long as it stays that way, the topic will remain open for comments. As soon as people start bashing each other, the topic will be closed.
Also, the first person who openly bashes another member for their beliefs in the matter or the subject matter as a whole, will get an instant infraction. As I can already tell that every comment after that will only be due to the first one in line. So the first person be warned, you have the target on your back if you decide to get personal and attack members, gays, religion or politics.
So with the duties taken care of in regards to the site and topic. I will say this as myself with no reflection on TF. These are my comments and are not shared by anyone else on the staff.
My thing is this. I will not vote only cause I have no information on the topic. But if a person who is into the same gender wishes to get married, then so what. Let them. They should be just as miserable as the rest of us. All joking aside though, it is their choice to do it. If they wish to take vows to be with each other like any other married couple, good for them. There is nothing wrong with 2 people who wish to share their life together as 1.
As long as they dont try to force their relationship on others then let them be. If they are happy together I personally see nothing wrong with it. They might even outlast some traditional marriages that are taking place daily. So that is my personal stance.
