On gay marriage
Gay marriage being one of the hot topics here in Portugal at the moment, I decided to write something on the matter.
I don’t care if two people that decide to marry have the same sex. I really don’t – it’s their life and I have no right to meddle with it. Besides, having gay marriage available for those who want it does not force me to have one myself.
And that thing about allowing something like a “marriage”, but not called as such is ridiculous. If it’s the same thing as a marriage as its proponents say, then why invent new words?
On adoption by these couples, I have some slight doubts, but I’m pretty sure it’s harmless. At least, should be on a par with every other hetero couple out there, as good or as bad as it can get. There are kids living their whole youth in institutions, and I can’t imagine it being better than having 2 dads or 2 moms who love them. Oh, the horror!
Just my 2c.
