Although lately, say the last 100 years or so, many of those stories seem to be confirmed by findings. Contrary to star wars and lord of the rings, nothing has been found to shore up those stories.......yet. In short, believe or don't believe what you want, and leave others free to believe what they want to believe. And I am not religious. And if someone, for whatever reason, don't believe in same sex marriages, it simply is his belief. And he has as many rights to ventilate his beliefs as anybody else.

With the present world population estimated to be 7 billion and rising, I don`t think a major decrease in humans would be a bad thing. Maybe if billions of people were to turn gay, lesbian, whatever, maybe a way of saving the human race and the resources on our planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swissie Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 As we all know, God created Eve from a rib of Adam. Having so many "spare ribs", he decided that sexual diversity can only enliven the world. Thats why we have about 77 different sexual orientations. Cheers.

OK, I don't believe in opposite sex marriages. I would like to outlaw them just as same sex marriages are in Thailand. But the same sex marriages should be made legal. The straight people can still hook up with each other as they like, but society should never legally recognize their committed relationships. I am not bigoted against straight people. That's just my opinion. Do you get it now? Edited September 4, 2017 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world population hasn't decreased and there have been gay people for thousands, millions of years. There are gay dogs, penguins, swans... and they aren't extinct either. It is perfectly natural for a small percentage of the population to be gay. If you believe in god, why are you against the world as he created it?

There is no need to look for a "cure" for something that is perfectly natural. And being gay is not "made up", one is gay or not. It is a fact, not a decision.

Scott Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Numerous off-topic, troll posts and replies removed. This is the gay forum. This is not the place for anti-gay remarks. You may agree with the OP or not, but anti-gay rhetoric will not be tolerated, nor will posts that are nothing more than a deflection. Continuing will result in suspensions.

MyFriend You Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 They look happy, I wish them a long and happy life, I despise the title though, it implies the teacher bought the partner with 1 million baht. What does the dowry have to do with this day for them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
