Gay Marriage

[RichardGv]

• I'm unaware of any negative impact allowing homosexual marriages could cause. (Well, except the religious ones.) Some may argue that homosexual marriage could make population aging severer, yet disallowing homosexual marriage has little direct effect over people's sexual orientation and thoughts, anyway. Thus I believe they should be allowed.
  
• People discriminates against the sexual orientation itself and the behaviors more than against the expression "homosexual marriage". It's unlikely that offering a new name for it would change things much.
  
• Marriage is more important in terms of the moral standard instead of the laws. The restrictions over couples after getting married is enforced more through the public opinion, not through the laws, since in the laws in most countries, betraying one's husband/wife does not lead to severe punishments, unless the family is terribly rich, and the couple consider money an important factor. Renaming "marriage" for homosexual marriages, however, may lead to reduction of the effects of the moral restrictions, as with the hundreds of years of practice the moral standard about marriages has been closed tied to the word "marriage", therefore it could be a better idea to retain the word. Also, keeping the word does give the homosexual people some feelings of indifferences.
