How do other Gay guys feel about this? Why wouldn't ya be into it? I'm kinda confused on why he said this.

MRGee said:

Didn't you ask him? Why?

Many straight men are not into marriage either. Just saying

No, I didn't ask him. But then again I'm not into Marriage either so.

Here in Spain, 2 days ago, a man killed his ex-husband and then himself

MRGee said:

That would explain the divorces

he wasn't into it for him or he wasn't into it in general?

I don't know how much I'm into it for myself. I'm all for it for others, though.

mine, too.

MRGee said:

He said it because it was how he felt.

Do all gay people have to feel the same way?

Not all Gay people want marriage for themselves, but I'm sure the majority of all Queer folk support the people who want it.

You should ask his reasons. There could be any number of them -- religious, political, etc. And he's entitled to his own opinion.

I'm for it. I'm also for the right to get married. Even in the gay community there are different opinions on this issue.

Part of me says I'd do it (and not just cuz johnart loves an excuse to plan a party).

Part of me says, our partnership is 12 years strong and we didn't need a piece of paper or anyone declaring us anything to achieve that.

Regardless of whether it's for me/us or not, we should have the right.

Does he mean marriage generally or was he speakin of the whole Prop 8 thing? Like the right for gays to get married?

it's difficult for me to reconcile the assimilationist "i want a tasteful photo album and a framed professionally shot photograph" part of me with the radical queer "marriage is for sissies, let's go pierce something" part of my brain. but while i'm working all that mental mess out, i'm all for other people doing what they feel honors their relationships. why not?

Anxiety said:

I say skip the tasteful photo album and professional shots and get a tattoo or spend the money on a wonderful getaway (which is what I opted for).

I also say any adult should be allowed to marry whoever they damn well please.

No, he doesn't believe in Gay Marriage at all,is what he said. And he's a Beautician from NYC.

MRGee said:

Conditioned. Programmed, like many people in this country, to go against their own best interests. It's not uncommon.

it's not for me but i support it

i guess the point should be he doesn't have to be into it. nobody except the people who would choose to marry need be into it. this is why the argument against gay marriage always falls apart: not into it? don't do it.

Being into it for yourself and selfishly carrying your personal distaste over into standing on the side against the others in the community are 2 different things. Gays aren't required to want to get married but to side with those who want to deny our equal rights is evil.

PANDURITO said:

Exactly. Just because the dude is gay, doesn't mean that he has to be into the gay marriage thing. That is his choice.

JellyBean said:

Not being into the marriage thing shouldn't mean that he sides with the evil assholes who are hellbent on denying those gay couples who want to marry that right though. Wonder if he's in that camp.

Take government out of marriage. Anything short of that is just a bandaid on a deep wound.

the gays i know aren't into it either. to each their own. and bTW fuck perez hilton !

Vendetta1 said:

Mine too.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

eh, i hate words like evil. despicable is much more fitting.

DesireeNevermind said:

hate him! hated him before but REALLY hate him now!

There is a huge difference between not being into (gay) marriage for yourself and being opposed to gays having the right to marry if they so choose to do so.

So which did he mean?
