keeveek: What a silly question.
Freedom of speech should remain boundless or it's not freedom of speech. If a nurse, afro-american, soldier, hippie can go outside and protest, gay people should have rights to protest for WHATEVER reason too.
In any other way, you're just denying freedom of speech at it's core.
JudasIscariot: I ask only because those parades are a bitch to get around when they happen in the middle of Warsaw. That and then I have to worry about dodging drunken skinheads and other elements of that nature. I'm all for expressing yourself but damn, pick a side of Warsaw that isn't going to cause traffic problems.
You just answered your own question. As long as drunken skinheads are a problem the marches will continue. Now, when people stop having to worry about drunken skinheads, I think it will be time to reconsider the utility of such demonstrations.
Paradoks: Not any time soon hopefully. I may very well be dead when that happens. People still respect family values here.
MaxwellKraft: You can respect the traditional nuclear family and still support same-sex marriage, and if you find homosexuality icky you can always just avoid it. You will be amazed at how easy it is to go through life and not have a guy suck your dick.
Too true. Even if you don't mind, unfortunately.
keeveek: Marx told you that? Because it's one of the stupiddiest things I've heard in my life, no offence.
SLP2000: It's typical for todays world that people seem to think that what they don't understand = stupid.
Think why marriages were invented in the first place.
ps. and it has nothing to do with women not having rights, that's different issue.
Marriage was primarily devised as a means of social control. Subjugating all parties involved. There've been societies in which there were no marriages, the Spartans spring instantly to mind, had no concept of marriage as we see it, instead they'd experience love in the intrasex way and would only have intersex sex when the time came to replenish the ranks.
Pretty much anybody that advocates for marriage as it stands is somebody that advocates controlling people and making them give up freedoms for an illusory vision of happiness.
Personally, I support same sex marriage purely for equality reasons, but because I think that marriage is in any way desirable or good for people. It's more likely to get equality that way than to make everybody else give up their marriages.
