Kids React to Civil Union

[David48]

If their reaction is indicitive, the next generation will be a step foward.

That boy has the cutest 'Devilish' eyebrows.

Mind you, when the man explains that the word 'Gay' comes from the word 'Happy' ...

It is what it is ... just thought I'd share.

Should this have been shared before ...

Are you married JT ?

I have a different mental picture of being Unionised......metal workers, chippies, tradies, painters, dockers, overalls, bum cracks...

Legalizing gay marriage doesn't mean it is REQUIRED.

I am not the marrying kind. I might have married earlier in my life but it wasn't an option then. Maybe it would have been a big mistake, but it seems the majority of all marriages are big mistakes ... but the important thing is that people have the freedom to make mistakes. I favor gay people having the exact same legal choices as gay people as their CHOICE. Also you gotta admit, this is great for divorce lawyers!

Kids say funny things ... especially when reacting to a video of a gay MARRIAGE proposal.

[ToddWeston]

The kids were reacting to the viral video MARRIAGE proposal in the state of UTAH.

What happened to this couple?

They got MARRIED in California.

Legally married with the exact same legal implications as opposite sex couples and fully recognized by the U.S. federal government as the SAME.

They did not get unioned.

Gay people in the USA REFUSE to be second class citizens. Period. USA people have rejected any poses of separate but equal or separate but unequal which may be acceptable in OTHER countries. In the USA, they just aren't for a variety of reasons so YES the terminology matters a lot especially when the wrong terminology is obviously used intentionally to insult and provoke. Other countries, do as you like:

Now if you saw a video of two straight people marrying, would you minimize their marriage by calling it a UNION?

Of course you wouldn't.

That would be both absurd and insulting and denying the reality of what they had done.

Hang on there Dude you don't speak for every gay person in the US of A, I'm married and would have preferred a Civil Union, my country didn't give me a choice, I know there are lots of gays who feel the same way.

Everytime the topic comes up you get your knickers in a knot, why can't you simply watch the video and feel happy the next generation won't be filled with so much anger.

I'll only give this one warning:

Calm down, and put the hysterics on ice.

Stop being so pedantic about this.

JT, I hope you don't mind me saying this, but I think you have seized a little bit this thread.

I think civil rights movements are very important and it's great to see courageous people taking up causes. But if it takes over every Sunday dinner the family wouldn't be so impressed.

Sometimes really just enjoy .. Thanks!

[ProThaiExpat]

I was married to my Thai mate of 12 years in January in San Francisco. Ceremony attended by my daughter and her family which includes my five year old grandson. He was a ring bearer in the ceremony. He dealy loves my spouse as my spouse plays with him so well.

Daughter, Husband and two grandkids were having a coctail hour at one of the tourist piers and upon our arrival we encountered a somewhat loud mouthed older man and his wife who were drinking with my family. When the loudmount saw my Thai spouse he asked my 5 year old grandson "who is that". William answered without hesitation: "He is my grandfather because he married my lovely Papa".

Out of the mouths of babes!!!!

These days civil union is a huge issue. Personally, I'm not in favor of same sex marriage. However, a recent ruling in Brazil is once again bringing the political theater of concept of marriage to the front and conservatives in the South American country are up in arms. BBC News reports that a notary in Sao Paulo has recognized a civil union between 3 individuals two women and one man. According to Public Notary Claudia do Nascimento Domingues, the trio has lived together long enough to warrant family rights, and Brazilian law has nothing that forbids such an arrangement.

If you're not "in favor" of same sex marriage, assuming you're a dude -- please DO NOT marry another dude! It wouldn't be fair to your gay lover.
