Gay Couples Get Equal Rights


The Supreme Court in the US state of New Jersey unanimously ruled that committed gay and lesbian couples deserve the same rights as married couples but by a 4-3 majority the court stopped short of ordering the New Jersey Legislature to allow same-sex marriage.

So, this means that gay couples have all the rights as married couples do apart from the fact that they are not legally "married".

"Those who would view today's Supreme Court ruling as a victory for same-sex couples are dead wrong," said Steven Goldstein, chair of Garden State Equality. "So help us God, New Jersey's LGBT community and our millions of straight allies will settle for nothing less than 100 percent marriage equality."

So they got their rights, what’s the problem?

What gay activists like Goldstein want is for the courts to legally accept gay “marriages” acknowledging the fact that these couples deserve that right and not just the legalities attached.

Could homosexuals even dare to show themselves in the Arab and Muslim world let alone to ask for rights?
Do you agree that homosexuals should have the right to marry?

    Let's all be gay & put an end 2 the human race. Then monkeys can take over. In fact all the animals can inter-marry & create a whole new race. Then in billions of years we'll be like natural resources & fossils 2 a new race!

    The basis of marriage is to create a strong foundation for a possible second generation & third etc. It's not a competition & it’s not a certificate 2 prove a victory & it certainly isn’t 2 allow a relationship 2 thrive in passion or 2 prevent a lonely death. Unfortunately girls wanna complete with guys and do everything they do, now h*mosexuals wanna compete with the natural joining & bounding of 2 people (I won't use the word hetero coz its meaningless; classifying what's 100% natural with a word simply 2 please h*mosexuals is a lame justification) by getting 'married' 4 God knows whatever reason. Having equal rights is the argument everyone seems to be latching on 2 apparently; equal rights & no sense. Equal Rights 4 no apparent reason except to feel as accepted as possible & hide the blatantly unnatural & disturbing unities driven by sex. Anyone, be they h*mosexual or natural who put’s sex & sexuality at the very core of their existence is of no use 2 society & a mere distraction from those who are troubled with real dilemmas across the world. A h*mosexual is free to do as he or she pleases but to constantly raise issues of wanting attention and wanting to feel normal (when they simply aren’t & will never be) is a waste of time, absurd, waste of money. I have met several gays & yes they r funny & they seem 2 accept everyone & everything so I am not giving them devil-like status, however everything on this planet has a reason, everything has a common sense & a logic, not everything has a solution & not everyone will find themselves in Earth. However the fact that they crave so much need & attention & want in being accepted by everyone says a lot- they can not justify their act or ‘chosen’ nature, therefore they use the fun, nice, colourful, I’m not racist, I’m not sexist approach in order 2 justify it. I used 2 hate when they would use the excuse of gay & black. La2eno black is something I can see with my eyes, it’s not hidden…it’s embedded within someone’s skin by the grace of God. And it’s been around since the beginning of time; part of the human race. Inama if u tell all the gays to stop plucking, waxing and 2 stop being loud, hyperactive & dressing in their distinctive fashion (superficial qualities) then u will never tell what they are. They have no right to use the ‘black’ or racial justification.

    There are actually many gay males who disapprove of being permitted a marriage type bond, so at least some of them realise the values of marriage.

    Babies are not born gay or straight so I wish that argument would be buried too. Who can even remember anything about being in the womb let alone being a baby?! I do think however that some peoples sexual behaviour stems from childhood...typical scenario...young female gets sexually abused by male member of family, te2raf min il rigala, eventually decides she was always a lesbian coz she could not accept the idea of being with a man.

    If sexual intimacy did not exist & we only had 2 open a special drawer masalan in order 2 have babies, h*mosexuality would never have seen the light of day. Unfortunately sex does run society in more ways then one.

    Tab3an I do not blame gays for this latest farce, I blame the law & the law makers, international law Kaman. I don’t even get their guidelines for choosing an age of consent. Why is 16 + 50 a legal relationship, yet 15 + 30 an illegal one…such bull. I fear paedophilia especially the rate of increase & the very short jail terms paedophiles get. Frightening for any mother/potential mother.Ya3ny we have reached the stage where we should know every individual case differs + every mentality differs + maturity arrives differently for everyone.

    Did you see the first international beauty pageant for transgenders "MISS INTERNTIONAL QUEEN" which Mexico won?. He/she was so beautiful waving to the crowd and excited. they looked more beautiful than a lot of the women I have seen.

    regardless of Islam, which thankfully has blessed us by prohibiting this unnatural behaviour, gay couples do not have rights when it comes to marriage. marriage is the alliance of to ppl who r commited to starting a family as in chidren. gay couples do not have children, therefore gay couples do not marry.

    Islam is against h*m*sexuality!!
    The nation of prophet Lut (alayeh salaam) has been destroyed for the horrible act of h*m*sexuality. I mean in this time period men got with men and women with women. It is a crime againts Allah, people who are gay are probably godless!!!

    We're not descriminating againt whats natural...colour, age, disability, sex...

    We're criticizing the unnatural. And if u truely believe it is right then u will defend it rather then being rude and insulting people. The way u reacted just shows that u can not stand up 4 the act of being h*mosexual.

    Italy is a Christian country...contains the Vatican and they are anti-h*mosexuality. So grow up & get a life. There is NO religion on this planet that accepts h*mosexuality. Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and whatever else ALL say h*mosexuality is wrong.

    Well said Sam!
    Amam Italy, everybody knows that h*m*sexuality is not tolerated. God has given you a brain to use it! So think chway please!. Some people in this world can't stand out the truth. Those people do not know that one day they will have to face God. And at that day judgement will be hard for them.
