Exactly. I'm from the country that was the first in the world to allow same-sex marriage in 2001 and since that time the country hasn't fallen apart, people are still getting married (straight and gay), babies are still being born, religion still has too much influence on daily life, and there is still noone who wants to get married to his dog, to a 12yr old or to 20 people at once (to reflect on some of the ridiculous slippery-slope-examples mentioned in this thread). Nothing has changed except for a group of people now being able to enjoy the same privileges that the rest of the population had taken for granted for themselves. | ||

A better experiment would be to think about your high school class, but oh wait you have no idea how many people are gay from your high school class. See the problem? my highschool class is around 2.5% gay i would say. of course it's not concrete but i'm quite aware of my surroundings. | ||

According to my recently recalibrated gaydar, there are approximately 4.7 homosexual individuals within 1000 ft of my computer. I can't be sure though, the tachion interference may be too strong. | ||

Life isn't a 4v4 match or a football squad, everyone wants their own win. You take friends where you can. | ||

In some countries they even kill them or shame them in public. I'm curious to see how some hardcore islamic countries will react. its fucking Google corp. There are not a whole lot of things out there that can combat a multinational multi-BILLION dollar corporation. Google is a pretty legit company. One more reason why I want to work there. | ||

Some people with inferiority complexes which are scared by their latent homosexuality feel the need to gather in groups and critizise people which are brave enough to openly admit their orientation. Haters gonna hate. I consider a loving gay couple as way better parents than a divorced straight one. And if anyone wants to argument with "If everyone is getting faggy now, there will be no kids, omg", think about straight couples with 1 child. That's a decrease of one person in this generation. | ||

There must be some crazy numbers out there, where the math makes sense for a certain company to take a stance on it. Most people don't give a shit wheter or not gays get married, at least among the younger generations. This is one of the most easy stance a company like google can take. Who are they going to loose here that they'd care about loosing? | ||

This idea that you have an objective truth which is self evident to you but which you cannot share the logical source of is quite frustrating. It's a concept created by the human mind and you only speak for one human mind. Marriage for you doesn't necessarily have to mean the same thing as it does for somebody else and if you fundamentally disagree with the idea of a gay marriage that much then I suggest that you don't marry a man. Interfering with the marriage of two other people who may have a completely different definition of marriage to yours is a massive encroachment on their personal liberty. You don't own marriage. very good comment, thanks | ||
