Why Gay Marriage should be legal
Feb 21st, 2014 at 12:41pm
 
Many of us believe that gay marriage should be legalized due to the fact that they believe that denying marriage between 2 same sex individuals is wrong, I believe this also.

However, I think people overlook the business perspective of gay marriage a lot when they're questioned on the subject.

If Gay marriage were legalized it can be established that the amount of weddings would largely increase, this will ultimately improve business for companies and business' who associate and work within the marriage system, ie cake makers, wedding planners, dress makers etc etc, thus creating more jobs but strengthening the economy with the increase of spending.

I'm interested in reading your arguments for or against the business perspective of Gay marriage. Also feel free to correct me on things if I have overlooked some areas.

Cheers.

I think most people tend to overlook it, since theres many other better reasons (at least in my opinion) to legalise gay civil unions.

No one's denying anyones right to love, not a good start is it?

Weddings are soooo yesterday, get hitched in the back yard and have a BBQ.

What's the gay population? Don't think it would make much difference.

That said, gay marriage is fine by me, legalise it now!!! (then hopefully the whinging morons will STFU about themselves)

Thank you LaQuinn. I do not believe in gay marriage and I won't budge from my position until my current boyfriends, Clicka the kodiac bear and Meei Tung the Portugese stray dog and myself are allowed to marry.

I've heard stories about people marrying inanimate objects, but I'm not sure if that was in Australia.

Probably not the best starting sentence I'll leave it as it is as you've already corrected me. Edit: Never mind I corrected it. ignore my bad wording in my quote.

I however don't agree with this, wedding aren't so yesterday, in fact many people enjoy that sense of walking down the aisle.

Personally I'm more interested in discussing the economical benefits of gay marriage, however, you've said you're stance, but if there's anything else you'd like to add feel free to post.

As absurd as Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal.  But he, 300 years ago, was joking. You aren't. SO this is sadly absurd.

By the way, your argument also shows (unintentionally, of course) just how much a of a consumerist, essentially capitalist, commodified notion 'gayness' and all the various 'choices' in sexual orientation really are.

So gay is essentially a money making opportunity?

So the whole reason behind "the most important issue of our time" is because "it's wrong not to" and to give more business to people in the wedding industries.

Shucks, they sure are some compelling arguments.

Marriage should be between two consenting adults, regardless of sex.

On another note, if they do get married the "regardless of sex" takes on a whole new meaning.  One guy I know always says "let the gays marry, they always say it shouldnt matter about sex.  Wait till they can marry then they will know sex matters."  I thought it was clever.

Agreed, restricting it to just two would be an imposition on our muslim brothers who prefer multiple wives, and to be fair a few non muslim paternal African cultures.

So in the inclusive spirit of Australia I propose a quid pro quo, the muslims and the fetishists or any one else would be allowed to have as many wives as they like but only the first wife and the children of the first wife are able to eligible for welfare.

After all, that should accord perfectly well with their own paternalistic cultures where the number of wives and the children is a measure of the mans ability to provide, not that of the government, or if you prefer, the tribe aka the taxpayer. 

A blessing on you, may your wives be many Achmed.   Cool

I don't particularly care for any religion, so that wasn't a consideration in my questioning (the Mormons love it, don't they?).

I'm just curious as to why people would want to restrict it to just two consenting adults.

What's wrong with four consenting (non-related) adults all getting married?

Or six?

Why the hang up on the number "2"?
