Template talk:User gay is ok

A way how to look at it

As a conservative, bible-thumping Christian I could totally use this template without advocating for gay marriage. Marriage means union between one man and one woman, an noone is denied this right. Every gay has right to marry - to a woman.

It all comes down to definitions. If marriage is nothing more than some kind of friendship recognized by the police (to use Robert Louis Stevenson’s phrase), then people of the same sex can get married to each other. If marriage is (as it always has been understood to be) a complementary commitment between a man and a woman which is intrinsically ordered to the procreation and education of children, then same-sex couples cannot be married. --Idiot number 58 (talk) 17:33, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

No. Marriage is a legal matter. Only the law of the land determines whether gay people can get married. Lyra § talk 18:10, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
