Marriage predates Christianity or any of the Abrahamic religions... Marriage coming from romantic attraction is a fairly new concept in human history.
 
Well I never noticed this thread until now, so i'll start reading through it. But just for the heck of it, I thought i'd mention i'm a pansexual boy :) (Pans means ALL in simple terms, for those whom don't know.

I'm well.. Half out though, my immediate family knows (parents, brother) Also ALOT.. of friends. ALOT. (Most people assume i'm gay or something anyways) but i'm not really shy anymore if anyone really wants to know just ask the right question. *It's even on my facebook and some people are so dumbfounded when I say oh he's cute! Like really? :rolleyes:

I find it funny exactly how much it has strayed from the Biblical definition(s), yet the only thing that many of these Christians are worried about is two people of the same-sex getting married. Shows where their priorities are - not actually in the Bible, but in their own personal prejudices. Just sayin'.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, any religion's definition of marriage is irrelevant to law. Marriage is a legal contract. In speaking of the US, churches have the right to perform their religious marriage ceremonies, and they have the right to accept or deny any requests by couples, no matter for what reason. So, legalizing same-sex marriage really doesn't have any effect on churches. Except for maybe a society beginning to push forward into accepting same-sex marriage, rejecting those churches, but that's their own problem, and is not the "persecution" they so want to claim it to be.
 
has anyone noticed that two of our villagers might be playing for our team ...

Bob: purple cat basically wearing a flowered muumuu (my avatar ... hahaha)
Jane: purple gorilla wearing a rainbow shirt, sort of masculine

not that i'm one to play into stereotypes, but it's fun to think about. also some of the jock personalities looove complimenting the male bodies of other villagers, including mine!
 
Knowing that the world is slowly changing in favour of equal rights for all gives me enough strength to get up in the morning! I actually took a vow to not get married until everyone, no matter of circumstances or orientation has the right to do so!!

Noooo! Ninjana, don't deny yourself TRUE LOVE! Yes, perhaps religion isn't important to you, but should you find that special someone, marriage is a sign of the commitment you hold to each other for the rest of your life!

Equal rights for the world entire will take LIFETIMES!

The thought is quite noble, Ninjana! =) I really hope you reconsider & instead, pledge your support toward any candidates that values Equal Rights running for political office.

Ed!!! He is one of my villagers. I think him and Kevin are a couple. Kevin is the butch lol.
 
Penelope and Muffy, man... They used to talk about each other all the time. They would say stuff like "don't tell her about this!" when stating something embarrasing. Just recently, though, Gayle moved into my town and Muffy remarked that she wanted some furniture to impress her. So maybe they broke up. :p

I should be getting Zell soon and the obvious pairing there would be Erik and Zell. I think most of the Smug characters are a little bi anyway. I saw a post on Tumblr where a guy is documenting all the times Julian seems to be hitting on him (and it's rather convincing).

Zell is definitely not straight. He seems to hit on me every so often, all his flattery has definitely earnt him the top spot as my fav villager.
And I should be getting Erik soon, but now you've made me worried Zell might go for someone a little more his species over me. D: Maybe I should stop Erik moving in.
 
I don't think you should. :p Erik is such a sweetie.

Interestingly, I think Muffy has moved on from Penelope. Now she only talks about Gayle, which is a weird combination. A pink alligator and a gothic sheep...
 
The "A" could be "asexual", which I'm a lot more comfortable putting in the label than allies.

For some people it is. It makes me uncomfortable when straight/cis people are put under the LGBT label. Thanks for telling me about the misspelling, though, I'm sure it was done out of respect and not trying to embarrass me. :)

Oops, you're right! I always assumed it was allied, but this wouldn't be the first time an assumption of mine was wrong. I'll refer to "A" as allied or asexual from now on to respect those who identify as asexual. :)
 
@oath2order: I think it's you trying to invalidate my opinion because you don't like it. But I'm going to drop it because I don't want to get into a fight. There are some wonderful allies out there. However, I just think asexuals and other less talked about groups have priority over individuals that are well represented. Since when were allies part of any other minority label anyway? Yes, they can help and aid, but they are not inherently part of said minority.

@Liv: Yes, it could go either way. The label is always changing. Personally, I like the term GSM (gender and sexual minorities) so it includes everyone outside of the cis/heterosexual spectrum.

People need to stop caring about labels so much. We're all humans, you're not cool or special because you define yourself in a minority.
 
Then why ask what the label means if you have no interest in it? And who on this thread has stated it is "cool" or "special" to be a minority?
