Are Gay Marriages Monogamous ?

Soleil10:
This post is about who is using gay marriage to bring next their own demand for rights. Gay activists deny it but the facts are here

Is it true?
Can you absolutely know that it's true?
How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought?
Who would you be without the thought?

We have a 40 year track record of the so called "sexual revolution". The fruits are here for all to see. .........

Your answer makes no sense -----
think about the answers and answer each of the questions!

also who is the THEY using gay marriage to demand what rights? Polyamorus who want polygamy?

So what if there is Marriage equity for all forms of *gamy

Soleil10 strikes again! This is just another narrow-minded, bigoted post meant to incite homophobia. Get a life already!

This post is the journalistic equivalent of IBS.

Ignorant.
Biased.
FAIL.

NO MONOGAMY is not being redefined by homosexual marriage.

Since homosexual people are people more or less like any other group of people there are bound to be some
that are polyamorus and that would like polygamy

you know soleil10 I think you'd be happy in IRAN where they don't have any gay people!

why aim this at the gay culture? Why not aim this at the thousands, perhaps millions of marriages that go through divorce. You claim marriage to being "sacred", you're wrong. America's perspective on marriage has become completely blurred, you can't blame the homosexual revolution for the loss of sacredness in marriages in our country. It's just plain out ignorant.

I thought so. Sol, you constantly post homophobic stuff, then claim you are NOT homophobic. Everyone here has asked you to provide evidence for your claims, but you have none. This who argument and post is very simply bullshit and just another way to try and convince people that gay marriage is "bad."

Eventually we will have to see that everyone, no matter your race, gender, sexual orientation, etc is a PERSON and deserves equal rights. Believers in god who want to twist their religion to prevent that from happening make me sick.

i am close to three gay couples. they own businesses, have lovely homes and are quite stable, even normal. none of the three are swingers or sex-crazed couch doin-it types. i think your reaction to the san fran write-up is more a reaction to a different style of relationship: the open relationship. please try to separate open relationships from marriage unions between same-sex couples.

Even though you have exactly zero evidence to support the claim, by simply using the rationale that gay marriage shouldn't be allowed because its inherent infidelity undermines the institution of "marriage," then shouldn't Christians also be prohibited from the act since their divorce rates are embarrassingly high? Higher even, than that of atheists? ("Baptists Highest, Atheists lowest divorce rates." Associated Press. 12/30/99)

Which begs the question, at what statistical point are you basing your argument? Should gay marriage be disallowed if it is shown to be 25% more likely to have an infidelity? What about 10%? 1%? And how is the decided upon threshhold anything but arbitrary?

These are questions that I would think would need to be addressed before any weight was given to this cockamamie idea. However, without any statistical evidence, the assumption that gay marriages are prone to higher levels of cheaters is exactly that...an assumption...and destroys your entire premise.

The point the author makes is that in a traditional marriage, cheating is clearly called cheating, in a homosexual relation being monogamous can mean something else.

So apparently...if you step back and take a look at the whole picture...

If what Soleil10 is trying to say here true...then gay marriage will NOT redefine straight marriage. It will fit into the parameters that are already established.

People loving each other, wanting their love recognized AND having a high rate of infidelity and divorce.

There...no discussion needed. Move along people.

Usually when I read stuff like this I just attribute it to the writer being a narrow minded homophobe, and I don't give it another thought. But this pod has opened my eyes to a whole new concept. It's like some sort of bazzar straight person marrage envy. It's like an adult acting like an inmature child saying my kind of marrage is better than your kind of marrage. na-na-na.

this artical is a joke, you obviously have some issues mate. why is it you only point out gay people and not hetros. and why the reason why we havent writen about gay marriges being monogamous is because there is no proof like surrveys questionairrs things like that, the reason being theres no need, its indivaul to the person wether there gay or not

Yes, same sex marriages are monogamous, Sol, just like heterosexual marriages are. What gives you reason to think they are not?
Can someone actually give me EVIDENCE that a majority of gay marriages are non-monogamous?

Soleil, what do you think of atheists? Would you like to lop us into one big group, too?

I'm gay, happily married and monogamous. You're full of shit, soleil10, to suggest otherwise. Most of the other gay couples who I know are also monogamous and have no intention of sleeping around. You offer no proof for your claims, no studies or surveys. Just your moronic innuendo and personal anecdotes, which hardly pass for a persuasive argument.

Soleil, what we're saying is that targeting same-sex marriage as being full of "infidelity" is a bit hypocritical, because a lot of heterosexual couples engage in infidelity.

Same-sex marriage is a step towards choice, the ability for two people to choose to do as they please as long as they cause nobody serious harm.

So far not one person has written that gay marriages were monogamous.

Mentioning that some hetero sexual people broke their vow of fidelity does not answer the question.

All we hear is the demand for equality by redefining marriage, or the demand for benefits.

We hear nothing about the issue of fidelity until death to one person.

Attacking me or slandering me does not answer the question.

Are same sex marriage just a step toward polyamory and the end of marriage ?

Are same sex polyamorous ?

This is religious propaganda and has no bearing on gay marriage.

It is an attempt to defame and smear homosexuals. It is ugly and speaks to the intolerant.

In addition, the composition is confused and muddled. If there is a point it is not being made. It is rambling and slap dash. Sentence constuction is often confused and labored.

The submission is inelegant and should be voted down. Current should not be bothered with such vulgar trash.

first, you are making broad generalizations that are very offensive. I just wanted to let you know in case you hadn't realized. Just because a person, or a few people, from a broad group engage in an activity does not mean they all do. Also, just because you don't like something or it isn't something that you would want to do doesn't mean it is necessarily wrong.

Heterosexual couples also engage in open marriages, but more often one spouse just cheats on another and hopes not to get caught. Are you arguing that these people have more of a right to be married than people who would be honest about it?

I am married and my marriage is not effected by anyone else's marriage, it is between me and my spouse. If my married friend cheats on his wife, it does not somehow change my marriage, so what difference would it make if he was cheating on his husband instead? All the people who are married in this world could do all kinds of bad things and it wouldn't change my relationship with my husband.

the argument that gay marriage hurts the institution of marriage is silly because marriage is not an institution- nor can it really be spoken of as one thing. marriages have taken many different forms across the span of human history and continue to be very different today across the globe and within individual societies. how one form could be argued as superior to the others I don't understand. People adapt to their circumstances and their traditions adapt with them. no one wants to take marriage away from heterosexual couples or keep anything from them, so what's the problem?

hahaha, soleil, this is the second ridiculous article you've posted recently. (and by that i mean biased, dumb, and mean).

a) straight couples have swingers too

b) this is a poorly written op-ed piece, not some sort of ground breaking sociological study

c) hehehe, it's not like straight people have it together do they? 1 out of every 2?? focus on yourself instead dude

This article is way biased.

Where's the evidence that gay people are less monogamous than straight people?Just because this guy says so? I call bullshit. Give me some real proof before you claim this as a fact and base an entire argument on it!

More importantly, what does ANYONE's religious beliefs have to do with gay marriage? Why should the "Jewish Case", as this article claims to be, the "Christian Case" or any other organized religion's "case" dictate the legal system? Other people's marriages are not your business.

Should heterosexual couples who "swing" be barred from marrying, under the same logic?
