Arnie declares gay marriages illegal

Ur right on this, and I also dont see a marriage as a religious thing.

I totaly agree with you.

And also for married ppl there are a lot of things u got a right to when, for example, 1 dies.
Thats what I mean ...

Amen to this !!

I'm not, Christiantiy is.

You say all this, but is it possible to be lawfully married without a vicar?

This is more arguing that there should a complete upheavel of marriage & it should be separated from religion (which is what it was originally there for) completely. But then who will be qualified to marry two people?? The majority of the marriage rights would have to be changed as they celebrate christianity. Only then can you start arguing that anyone, regardless of faith can be married.

I'm a Christian but I have nothing against homosexuality and gay marriage. Do I think that people who are gay can't be Christians? No. I don't believe religion should get in the way of love and marriage. Love and marriage is between the two people involved, not between them and God. They are people just like everyone else and should have rights like everyone else. I agree that it is unnatural, but I think people should have the right to chose who they love and who they marry.

Marriage here is complete separated from religion. A preacher here can't marry people legally, you have to go to the registry office at your town. If you marry in a church is something you add for your own pleasure but the marriage in the church means legally nothing.

I didn't know that. What do you say in place of your wedding vowels??

Also, I imagine it must be quite easy to get a divorce in Germany....?

Arnie ****ed up. He had his chance, but he ****ed up know. I know that many people in San Francisco were proud of the fact that gay marriages were allowed there, and know the governator goes and declares them illegal. Not a good way to start the term.

It is the same thing in Holland. You cannot only marry in the church. It is only legal when you go to the registry office.

It is also quite easy to divorce. However, you must be married for at least 3 months (not sure if it's 3 months, but there is a minimum I think) and when you want to divorce, you must consult a notary or a lawyer.

If Gay people want to be legally bound to each other use a lawyer , its as simple as that.

Gay people want to be able to marry to show they are part of average normal society, ie they would be accepted more by others.

I disagree as a christian with Gay marriage.

Dawn.

So you mean that you don't think that guy people are part of the average normal society? Or are you only against the gay marriage?

I'm not asking this to offend you, everyone may have his/her own opinion. I am just curious.
