Well,

They should have been freed before.


I don't care about gay right, because I'm not, but I'm a christian and I don't care if that kind of law don't try to force church to marry gay couple and I know in USA, the law will not do that, but here in Canada, some member of parliament try to force church or other christian to think like they think. Sven Robinson a gay member of parliament in B.C. had make bill about the fact we (christian) can't say homosexual is a sin. It try to enter in our private sphere. If I think homosexual is a sin, I don't have the right to make «justice» or make trouble to the homosexual. I don't care about them and I hope they don't care about us... but here in Canada they don't know the real signification about freedom...

It is a display of overly political correctness act that i have been through when my friend visited some bank with too much social awareness. I hope all of these gay-movement doesn't turn into something like "gay power" and such. It is abnormally stupid.

I am, by looks, a minority. I went to open a bank account in one of the biggest bank in Australia (Australian owned), the manager (a white englishman) there told me to wait for a few seconds. He gets me into his female Hong Kong staff and begin to talk to me in a strange english (with a bit of Cantonese). After a few minutes of conversation, I know we can't understand each other, so I asked another staff to guide me about the services they are offering. That white englishman now brings me a male Asian (Thai i guess? He is a bit girlish in his voice). At first i thought "this is going to get right!" cause i don't have much time. But it turned out that he can't speak english properly. Now, almost furious, i asked to get a staff that can explain me about the terms and conditions clearly. Then the manager told me to wait, and switched to his subordinate, who happens to be a white guy. He then tries to speak Mandarin (which i also completely don't understand), and tries some more shit i don't know. I am tired and i asked him to call his manager.

I told him that i was tired of all these bullshit and i won't open a bank account here. They literary wasted my 40 minutes of trying to satisfy me with their circus show of political correctness. Jeez, you should be selling information, not running a human zoo there. Probably i was wrong because i don't tell him that i cannot speak any other language than ENGLISH and asked him not to judge me by the look.

Fark political correctness! Fark diversity engineering! Then i went to Bank of China, although the staff is Australian Chinese, she speaks fluent and nearly perfect Aussie-accented english. I happily put my money there, because that is just what i want to do.

Ever since you posted this story the first time round, I ask myself why you didn't continue talking to the white clerk in English? Is your accent so outlandish that he thought he couldn't communicate with you?

Judging by the way he types, yes. You say you speak only english, then why do you type like you just learned it?

That's my friend story when he was studying in Sydney. I copy-pasted it from our chatlogs and that is how it looks like. We don't use proper grammar or even spellings when we chat, but we do maintain full spelling.

I don't know everything about the U.S, and i won't pretend too.

However why is it that they have such a problem with gays?
I honestly don't understand that, could someone explain it.
Man + woman... ok by me
Woman + woman... ok by me
Man + man... ok by me

I'm straight so i don't have or care about what gay people do, why would it be different?

This is potentially a major change in millions of Americans lives, and will change the way the country thinks for the rest of its existence.

But civil, actual law binding marriage should be extended to everyone

Marriage IS extended to everyone already...any gay man can marry any woman that he can convince to agree to marry him.

I remember when you used this over at the FH forums, I was laughing at how it confused everyone.

its one of those things homophobes will rally against like their life depends on it, then when marrying is legal for all human beings by law they will see the world didnt end, that it is ok for them to come out of the closet and everyone will wonder what all the fuss was about.

Ho dear.... you know what you speak through one’s hat. Sorry buddy, but I know what you call homophobes (and they're not homophobe it's more complicated then that) and they don't want this law for some religious reasons not because of your shitty reason. You have big mouth, but no knowledge about what they think or how they see the world.

I think from a religious point of view you have your own good reasons. The thing is that not everybody in a given population shares the same views (that can go without saying), and so just i guess no matter how they cut it... if the govt attempt to deny someone X (while the majority of a populace can enjoy X) they'll get pissed off no matter what the reason.

And it gets even more complicated when the Govt tries to instill "unions", and even though it's basically the same thing... the title of "marriage" is simply not present... which i can understand will throw gay couples off entirely.

a few arguments I have also hear were that they didn't want gays getting the tax benefits that one would get if they were married.

That's really the only reasonable arguement against it, as the rationale for such benefits don't apply to gay couples so much. However, it still doesn't make a whole lot of sense since in a lot of states there is some form or another of a "civil union" that gives pretty much the same economic benefits to gay couples whether it's called marriage or not.

Marriage laws here in the US are just extremely archaic, even the traditional ones need some serious revising.
