Fairy Tail Guild RP Current News


Hey everyone, it's me, your Lord and Savior, your Once and Future King, and your new Admin-for-Life Unlimit Sendo. I'm here to drop some turnbuckle-diving elbows and awesome news. There's been some relatively small updates to rulings regarding summon familiars and single summons. Additionally, there's also been a pretty big update in regards to the AP shop which reorganizes it and adds a ton of new stuff. You can find that in the AP Shop section under Item Creation. Check it out.

I fully support gay marriage. Plenty of my friends are gay and I myself am bisexual.

Why should homosexuals be denied the same rights as heterosexuals? As an equalist, I believe that EVERYONE should be treated equally.
Thats what i was going to say D:

Personally i don't care, if gay's want to get married, now that's their problem but that's not going to make me like it either as i am catholic and proud of it. My view is that god made woman for a reason, so who are we men to go against his will?

But i understand other feel like doing so because of love or have different set of values yet as long as they keep their hands away from my ass and not judge me for my reason, then they can do whatever...is not my problem really. in the end, won't we see who was right or wrong when stand before saint peter?

Let the flan flow through you.
I'm with Blade Braver on this. I don't care if you are gay, you want to marry go ahead. Honestly speaking, I can't say that my heart fully approves it, namely because it is in my mindset and that I'm Christian, but I was raised to accept everyone, and so I do so.

But I want to correct Blade on something: it is not Saint Peter that will call us to see who is right is wrong, as he is dead and also waiting for the Judgement day :). God only judges.

People should be able to pursue their own happiness, as long as it doesn't mean hurting others on purpose. And as I can't see anything about gay marriage that would be hurting anyone purposely, then I would have to say that it has just the same right as a marriage between heterosexuals. Aren't we already living in the year of 2010? I would have to think that by now there should be more of an equal treatment.

I myself am bi-sexual and have good friends that are both bi and gay (along with straight ones also..), so I am very open minded towards this. But in my opinion it's also unnecessary for people to be always sticking their religion or sexual preferrences in anyone's face and forcing them to accept it. It is best to just .. keep to your own business and not be judging anyone else, as I am sure everyone would like to have that right and privilege to be able to live their lives as they want.

@ Luffy: it was kind of an inside joke on Spanish catholic as many view it as saint peter as the one who decides who can pass into the gates of heavens, i am sure you have seen in on the tom & jerry cartoon or the loony tunes.

I usually don't put my input into discussions like these as I am infinitely indifferent on the matter. But I will share my thoughts on the subject. Simply put, marriage falls under three things, Religion, Law, and Love. People seem to want to approval it as a whole while only examining one part of the whole things. So I'll just put some food for thought out there.

Religion - A wedding, and the following marriage, is a religion ceremony. Weddings that are held in churches are, obviously, weddings that those involved in have held in the church of their beliefs. A Christian couple will not have their wedding in a Jewish Synagogue. As such, the Jewish Synagogue has the right to deny a Christian couple a wedding in their building. Following this logic, a Religion against homosexual union has the right to deny a wedding for a homosexual couple. That is their religious belief and asking (or forcing) them to deviant from that is for a fact unconstitutional.

Quote:
 
Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.


Law - The part of marriage that everyone seems to be arguing (or discussing) about but is rarely mentioned. When a couple is married, they are sharing their assets from that point on. There a great number of benefits and legal responsibility that comes with marriage. Things like health care, job benefits, even vacation time is affected based on if a couple is married or not. I know for a fact (My field of work is in Human Resources) that people have multiple grades of coverage. This changes between people that are single, married, and married with children. A lot of coverage plans include their marriage plans with their child plans to make it easier for married couples. Gay marriage throws a wrench into this because something that was put in to made things easier is now making things harder. I'd go into detail, but anyone can easily read up on the legal responsibilities of marriage. In fact, everyone should before even thinking of such a commitment... (Apparently no one ever does -_-)

Love - Last and, believe it or not, the least is love. Everyone seems to want to advocate this possibly fleeting emotion as a reason for it to be legal. Again, I have nothing against it at all. Please do not think that as I bring these things to light. Love is NOT an excuse to try and change the law. Firstly, I will say, that marriages based purely (read it again, PURELY) in love usually fail. As I have said, marriage is more than just people lover each other. It is a HUGE legal step. It takes a lot of commit and effort for a lifetime. Nowadays, marriage is taken as just a thing to do when you are in love and is tossed away via divorced once the love is gone. People just seem to want to think marriage is just an extended relationship much like a fling is an extended one night stand. And they think that, just like with a break up, marriages can just be tossed away for the next one. And then when they are bombarded with all the legal matters, the wonder what the hell is going on. While I am not saying that Gay marriages are like this all the time, the majority of arguments in the support of letting lovers be are flawed because they don't take this into account.


Again, this is just food for thought for everyone thinking about this discussion.

See Gay Marriage is an odd because of two important conflicting points. First we have the problem that Marriage is a religious ceremony and considering the views that religions generally take on Homosexuality it's makes demanding Gay Marriage a bit like walking into a Synagogue and demanding a BLT.

On the flipside we have all the legal benefits and differences that marriage provides that Scarlet has already gone into detail on. This is why we need to have secular marriage, the same legal implications but without the religious ones.
