Homophobic women in the Question Time audience (BBC1, 27.3.14)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มี.ค. 2014
- As of midnight on Saturday morning, gay and lesbian marriage will be legal. Some women in the audience (at the start, and at around 7:40) think this shouldn't be allowed. Oh dear...
Simply Red frontman Mick Hucknall was also in the audience.

It's okay to say 'I can't do that because of my religion' it's not okay to say 'you can't do that because of my religion'
Lydia so true. Kind of perverted how obsessed they are with other people’s sex lives.
Shaun Clark I’m genuinely so sorry that you have been brainwashed in this way. You sound crazy.
Shaun Clark Shut the fuck up
Michael J I’m not denying it’s a sin. I’m saying what your religion considers a sin shouldn’t stop others from doing it
Lydia Why should a non-Christian have any say in what a sacred Christian tradition is supposed to be?
Complaining about gay marraige because it's against YOUR religion is like being angry at your friend for eating a donut because you're on a diet.
to be honest it makes me mad that it's even being debated on television. The simple answer should be "....what tf has this got to do with you?"
why are they mad at something that doesnt affect them whatsoever?
@@thedrunkenramblingsnorthea4201 why want something that isn't made for you ?.....like his dung hole....let alone marriage
Louder for the people at the back! This should be on T-shirts, awesome dude 😎
@Gerald Glancy So you'd be okay with it if they get married in a mosque?
Why do you have a problem with gay couples getting married?
The prime minister of Finland being the youngest ever at that was raised by a rainbow family, two mothers.
the bible talks more about shrimp being a sin than homosexuality
Nemvsis shrimp is very important tho how dare you, shrimp is on the same level as murder never mention that disgusting thing again
HAHAHAHAH OMG
The Bible also has really specific logistical guidelines for slavery and says that rapists should buy and marry their victims by paying the father off.
It says you should kill people if you catch them working on a Saturday. If someone actually was a biblical absolutist, they would be dead or imprisoned very quickly. These people who defend their hatred of gays on biblical grounds just choose to hate the gays.
Homophobia is a bad word. They hate gay people, they don't fear gay people. We could change the word, but I think it could be fun making reality reflect the definition of homophobia.
krinkov545 if you can spread gods word to me then I will never blaspheme again
And if a Christian hunter can become a saint then so to can I be forgiven (Saul on the road to Damascus if you were wondering)
Nemvsis and I bet, you never read the Holy Bible cover to cover.
Imagine getting triggered because two strangers want to get married, how sad must your life be
Maaaaaaadnesss init... Like why do people care about sex and race the two things that you have no control over. Im really tired of this bs man..
@De Factio I dont think were speaking about the same thing..
@De Factio My words were why do people care about sex and in who you have sex with and what your sex is and why do people care about race as in what race you are what colour your child will come out. Your talking about religions and pedos... I dont believe in religions i dont care for there rules. I dont care for the rules of this dream we are all living in.. In there dream world its cool to be a pedo and a racist and eat babies i didnt come to this earth to judge something i have no control over or want to. I just had a thought that its weird that people still think about these no controllable factors that dont matter and shouldnt matter. Why are you asking me religious questions that we both dont give a shit about lol im confused.. Dont deep my comments i dont give a shit about nothing Im just doing my time on earth and making notes on the internet as i go along.. Non of this matters.. ITS NOT THAT DEEP
being against the lgbt movement is common sense
You clowns were triggered for decades before we allowed homosexual marriage, now you lefty types are triggered about us not allowing underage marriages.
What I don’t get is
Why are homophobic people so bothered?
It doesn’t affect you
Because it has a chance to affect us
and homophobia isn't real
Omg that first old lady talking in the video was homophobic. Do u know what it means?
atheistsrnumber1 it has a chance to affect you? How? You might see them in the streets? Or maybe even talk to them?!😱
You can fuck off about “ homophobia isn’t real” clearly by that statement you yourself are homophobic! And don’t just reply to this if you do saying,” no it doesn’t exist”, because your not arguing properly and just throwing statements about.
So at least, in this beautiful diversive world, accept that they exist and stop telling others who they can and can’t love because, like everyone, you only have one primary view, your own, and clearly you yourself are not a homosexual, so it is impossible to understand what they are feeling and experiencing.
Dani Van Velthoven ok I see what you mean, I just used the word “homophobic” as a general phrase which everyone understands for the view against homosexuals
I do agree with you though, these who actively hate gays are just ignorant and horrible
Because it gets painfully annoying when people start to force it on you to accept.
"Uncomfortable" is the poorest defense ever. 🙄
Im as progressive as anyone, and Im an atheist. I support gay marriage and equality. But i have to overcome the uncomfortable vibe I have about male gay couples. Never thought about it much, but its not my fault that I get that vibe.
I’m uncomfortable with religion, and we ban that too? It’s such a stupid argument, nobody cares how you feel lady.
yeah ! like you're going to be in the bed with them while they have sex ..... THEN you have the right to feel uncomfortable!
Lmao right? Imagine completely shattering people's lives because it makes you uncomfortable. smh.
Some Christians make me *really* uncomfortable, but you ain’t seeing me here dissing Jesus.
"Marriage is about children"
Tell that to the many married couples who can't conceive
Where in any marraige ceremony has anyone heard mention of children or procreation?
Marriage isn’t about children. Children can just be a result of that
in her mind marriage is used as way to ensure the parents dont leave
@@pennypillow4445 my divorced mother and father: 👁👄👁
Im sure they would like to conceive if they could
Gay people never accidentally have children. But we are happy to adopt your “oops”.
Yaaasssssss Queen
Yes they do, all of the time.
Are you stupid & bigoted?
Serpechia, gay people don't accidentally have children because gay couples can't naturally have children.
The idea that a straight mother who accidentally had a child they dont want is more fitting to raise that child then a loving and willing gay couple is hilarious. WASPS just dont want the youth to be "brainwashed" by the gays
"Marriage is about having children."
Urm, pretty sure you don't have to be married to have children...
Nor do you have to have children because you are married.
My mum has 5 children, with 3 different fathers, and has never been married once
(Hate that I have to put this, but this doesn't mean she's a whore or a slag or that any of her children are uneducated, every child was planned, she just hasn't had great luck when it comes to men)
And those kids from unmarried couples are more likely to experience so many dangers compared to children of married couples
@@algonzalez6853can you prove it?
It helps.
"Marriage is between a man and a women", "Not anymore". Best quote of the clip.
?? What did this person say to make you so offended? All they stated was a quote from the clip..... @ChadK
+Chad K the marriage debate is a debate on whether some humans should have a basic human right. "love wins" means marriage should be about love, not a heterosexual privilege because some dumb fucking homophobes are uncomfortable with everyone having the same rights, simply because... well, they haven't had the same rights for centuries so it's "tradition"
+Chad K
I see you didn't answer. Seems like you are the one who demonstrated that they don't have a clue what they are talking about.
Chad K
Please research or at least think on your own about it before you spew nonesense around. You sound like someone who only repeats what other's told him.
About which benefits are you talking about? Because as I see it, the benefits of marriage are made to make it more easier for two people to live their life together. (www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/marriage-rights-benefits-30190.html) There is literally no reason why that shouldn't be allowed for homosexuals. 'Family benefits' are only a very small part of these benefits - and even they aren't really about children. Marriage is not about 'getting a whole lot of tax money' so it doesn't effect you at all.
Marriage, btw, existed long before christianity. It wasn't always about 'two people'. Even in the bible, Abraham had more than one wife. And sorry, if parents need 'benefits of marriage' to stay together and raise children, they're probably already worse parents than many homosexual peers. Also, why would you think then why homosexuals would want to marry, too? If marriage is only there to make 2 people stay together - thus limiting their freedom.
The answer is: They already plan to stay together, they just want it to be easier to do (and to be accepted by their own government they also pay taxes to.) Because love isn't always about 'being a man and a woman' :)
Anyway, it doesn't influence you in any way that homosexuals are now allowed to marry. Even if marriage WOULD only be about potential children (which it is not) that would be exactly what should be changed, too. There is no reason to reduce marriage to 'a construction only there for children'. It doesn't harm anyone if people want to marry just to stay together. And this (2 people marrying because they want to live togerther) was never an issue before the possibility of gay marriage.
Marriage is what we make it be. THIS is logic. It's our choice to decide what marriage is about. Because making it harder for 2 people to live together just because they're different is discrimination.
'Anyone talking about love or human rights has no fucking clue about this topic. It's 1 man 1 woman.' Your pretentiousness is ridiculous. Do you went to university studying 'marriage' for five years or something that you think you know more about it than anyone else? If yes, please tell me now what 'love' is objectively about, too; and then we change the law and forbid other people to feel about this topic like they do, yes?
And yes, it is a basic human right to marry who you want to regardless of if you plan to have children. Because that was always something heterosexuals had a privilege to.
It's not like there even will be so many gay marriages it changes anything, mate. The percentage will probably be smaller than heterosexuals who marry just because they want it to make official and easier to stay together.
If I stole your wallet while in your neighbour house someone is murdered, would you also say it's 'offensive to real crimes against human rights' to claim justice about the things I stole? After all, your neighbour got murdered and had it so much worse than you. So you shouldn't have the right to claim justice. Logic????
'radical left gay agenda' You talk about this like gay people don't exist and are some sort of cult or something. If you're gay you're gay. You don't belong to the 'radical left gay agenda'. You just want to have the same rights and acceptance everyone who's heterosexual receives.
'complex/deep topic'
Please, then. Begin telling me all about it already. Because I didn't see you doing that. Your only argument was 'marriage is for children' and that seems very simple to me.
And lmao, again, if marriage wasn't about love that SHOULD be changed. So yes, 'love wins'.
'there is certainly evidence showing problems in many many cases.'
Yeah, please, sources? Because just asserting this statement is easy. You shouldn't build an opinion on something flimsy like this, though.
Also, I'm sure alcoholics are prone to be worse parents. Let's force them to out themselves and forbid them to marry! Because there are apparentely even more alcoholics then there are homosexuals www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohol-health/overview-alcohol-consumption/alcohol-use-disorders.
Also, please explain to me why homosexuals should be worse parents just because they don't consist of the 2 genders. Because as I see it, not every person of the same gender is the same; there doesn't exist a 'normal mother' or a 'normal father'. We're all just human beings trying to do our best - and if someone is intelligent enough/ tries hard enough, they're already better than so many parents right now. Of course, allowing people to discriminate the parents of a children will be a (probably the only, concerning generalization based on homosexuality) thing that can harm them.
'something very selfish'
Woah, buddy, calm down. Because if you make conclusions you have to make sure you've got your basics right. Of course the 'gay agenda', as you like to call it, cares about the well being of a child?? Do you think they're aliens you can't possibly know or something? The only thing that differs them from you is who they want to hop in bed with.
So yes, they care. And 1) I still don't see why 'being attracted to the opposite sex' should be that big of a factor in your parental skills, 2) so you think foster kids (who are given up by heterosexuals in most cases) who don't have a real home etc. are already better on their own than with homosexual parents?, 3) 'christianity agenda' or how we want to call it is heavily biased AGAINST gay people having the same rights. They are the one's who try hard to prove their point because it's written in their stupid book, along rules like 'you are not allowed to cut your hair' and 'you shouldn't mix fabrics of your clothes'. I think it's 'sickening' that they try to prevent children getting two completely devoted and good dads or moms.
Let's be real, they care more about their prejudices and religion than they care about children.
+Chad K
Yeah, lol
Probably should have expected that. Just confirms what I wrote.¯\(ツ)/¯
Slavery was once a “treasured institution”.
Very true, these bigots seem to forget Exodus 21 and such verses.
Who's changing the definition of marriage? Two people loving each other, sticking rings on each others fingers? Same thing no matter who's what right?
Exactly, the people shouting "it's about man and woman" are doing so retroactively.
Nothing about marriage says that men can't marry, or the women can't marry, otherwise you wouldn't have straight marriages. If women can marry men, then men can marry men too, that's equality.
@@Capybarrrraaaa The reason people are upset is not because they hate homosexuals. It's more to do with the religious fact. Marriage is legal act to show god your commit to loving a person. It makes no sense to have gay marriage since the bible states that all sex apart from intercourse is sinful. But then again why would I care, I'm not religious.
@@jackwilliams6604 " It's more to do with the religious fact"
No homosexual or homosexual supporter is trying to force any religion, group or individual to change their definition of marriage. They are making appeals to their governments to ammend co-habitation doccumentation to also benefit gay people.
"It makes no sense to have gay marriage since the bible"
From the Christian and other perspectives, I agree, but other cultures developed concepts of marriage seperate to and before Christianity. It might make sense in their definitions, like the secular definition, for example.
Every example of opposition to gay-marriages being aknowleged by governments that I've seen has always been because of religious people trying to blur the lines between co-habitation documentation and a ceremonial, religious marriage based solely on the idea that they don't want 'the gays' getting in on their version of marriage.
They can say "but my religion", but having your wish of segregation notified doesn't make it not bigotry. Until they can demonstrate that their objective god says 'no gays', then that's nothing more than their opinion.
@@Capybarrrraaaa Im not sure if the bible actually states that having an attraction to the same sex is a sin. But still I find it somewhat ridiculous that people want same sex marriage. But then again that's just my opinion. I don't believe in God nor any sort of religion, yet I do see sense in one (buddism).
@@jackwilliams6604 "states that having an attraction to the same sex is a sin"
From what I understand, it forbids non-reproductive sexual acts and men 'laying with men as one would with a woman'. Though, I believe that latter part is specifically about male familial incest.
"I find it somewhat ridiculous that people want same sex marriage"
I find it rediculous that someone would want marriage full-stop, though, I mean that in the ceremonial sense. There are legal benefits to having a co-habitation officially noted. I also don't see why that should be limited to couples, it makes equal sense to allow parents & (adult) children, housemates, etc. to share that too.
I also understand why people want 'gay marriage' rather than the current Civil Partnership. The existence of CP fundimentally just says "you're different and shouldn't be entitled to what the rest have". I can see how that would be insulting.
"yet I do see sense in one (buddism)."
Yeah. I can really see some sense behind buddhism. It doesn't really ask anything irrational of you, and has some pretty good teachings. It's probably one of the best examples of what religion can be.
"I'm a christian, so you should have no rights". You've heard this for thousands of years if you were black, jewish, gay or a woman.
Or even poor, tbh
or a scientist
***** Yes, but that goes both ways. Muslims have tried to impose their ideology as much as christians. Gays never have. Nor have scientists.
John Fisher
lol given how passionately you feel and think about gays, I think you really are gay yourself, and for some reason terribly afraid xD
cheers mate you'll get it eventually ;) ♥
They're really running out of people to oppress aren't they..?? Haha :D
"Marriage is about having children." Well, tell that to infertile couples who can't have kids, madam.
DNA Cat
Exactly - and neither should be treated as though they don’t have the same marriage rights
DNA Cat maybe she wants people to pass fertility tests before marriage.
Meaningless existence lmfao
@1113 Cntrl
The only problem is we don't live in the Neolithic anymore. There is absolutely no reason to limit marriage to heterosexual couples when people don't get married for the same reasons that they did at the beginning of the concept of marriage.
@1113 Cntrl Your argument is irrelevant to Dran's argument. He's obviously talking about countries that are already progressive, in this case England. I agree there is a country that gives death penalty to homosexual people, but in a country like England, most people marry by love not procreation only
It shouldn’t need to be gay marriage, can we not just call it marriage? And then it includes everyone? That’s all we want to do, marry people. Let us do that
maybe now in 2021, not 7 years ago when this aired
you're so right. i dont understand people who think they should be treated equally for who they are but don't think other people who are different to them shouldn't be
Reminds me of how people used to say "they got gay-married" like it's a special type of ritual completely separate from "marriage"
"im an old woman that only can repeat what she was told"
She struggles with even that, has to read off paper. Senile bint
Wait so sterile couples aren't allowed to get married????
how? please explain
Emma Floop you're fucking ridiculous
theRightizright No actually they are not a sin do you want to know why?
CHRISTIANITY HAS BRAINWASHED YOU!!!!!!!
Rebecca Brown, Since the age of ten I’ve been sceptical about organised religions, l’m 61 now & come to the conclusion all religions are equally wrong in placing faith above evidence, scaring people into believing in a particular deity with the threat of eternal hellfire at the same time telling the same people “he loves you”, I just can’t understand that line of thinking.
John Moore Neither can I. It's brainwashing at its worst. To me it sounds like the kind of relationship that my mothers have always warned me against. They are controlled by god in every factor of their lives and what's worse is that they can't see that this relationship is a type of abuse
It really frustrates me when people use their faith as an excuse to interfere with people's lives.
Maria Makes Music the reason why people of faith are so against because they know down the line Christian church’s will be forced to carry out this sinful act.
@@manweller1 the legalization of homosexuality has nothing to do with forcing it into churches, or on anyone for that matter. The people that ARE enforcing their lifestyles on everyone else are those who try to deny someone the right to get married just because of their personal discomfort.
@@mariamihailik5310 The problem is that it almost has been forced into churches. The church should have every right to not allow gays to marry.
@The Beast but how is homosexual marriage affecting YOU? No one asked you to be homosexual.
Maria Makes Music if that be the case why did a homosexual couple deliberately go to a Christian motel knowing they would asked to leave? The powers that be will forcing places of worship to carry out this sinful act. The real men&women of God will not bow down this or compromise the law of God.
So she would rather have children to be stuck in an orphanage till they’re 18 and be thrown on the street as soon as they come of age, than have a gay couple adopt them and give them a loving and warm environment to grow up in and actually have a chance at a decent future...
Also the ´biological mother and father’ she’s talking about obviously aren’t around. So why not let a loving gay couple give this child a home?
"660,000 signatures", "huge swave of the population"... No, that's 1% of the population...
Pretty sure its not even that lmao
@@LTD538 Slightly under. 660,000 is 1% of the UK population, rounded up. 0.97% to be precise.
“marriage isnt about love”
what
It was originally about wealth and property. Now, it's about love.
marriage isn't primarily about love
Ambro I feel sorry for you
Technicallyimright Thank you. It is good to wish the best for people, even if you are wrong about what is best. I feel sorry for you too, and hope things become better.
Ikr 😂😂😂 I honestly died. No one understands that we are in 2018 now. They don’t understand that the world moves. I hate change myself but that doesn’t mean I fight to stop it. That’s unhealthy
He says it is a 'treasured' institution -that must be the reason why the divorce rate is so high.
😂😂😂exactly
It's so high because the government allowed no fault divorce in the first place.
+Maria Madriquez It's so high because people are adulterers.
macky mac Great observation there. More sinners for those without to condemn.
macky mac adultery is one of God 10 commandments. these are the ones he don't want you to break..the ones that upset him the most.. if gay relationship was such a sin. it be up there in 10 commandments..
How can she sit there and say "we already have equality" then go on to say why they shouldn't have something straight people do?
Because she is a bigot
Can’t believe this is 2014 it sounds like 1994
I dunno I mean 95% of people who spoke were in favour of gay marriage
“Equality has already been reached”
Well lady, that fact that you’re having a discussion about whether or not same sex marriage should be legal proves that equality hasn’t been reached
"(Equality has already been reached)". Tell that lie to The Blacks, Hispanics and Asians.
Carrie, is there equality for Muslims in the UK who don't agree with homosexuality? Do they deserve to live in a society where they can practice their beliefs?
@@magicworld3242 the Asians? Who earn more, and live longer than any other race in the UK!
@Eat the pork Condoning unseemly behavior has nothing to do with diversity
Cassie Osbourne such a contradictive question
Not all couples want to have children. A heterosexual couple may not be necessary want to have children.
Natalie Gifford But in principal they can and homosexuals can't.
Anticitizen 98 that is true
Anticitizen 98
And what if a heterosexual couple can't have children? No, then it wouldn't be a problem.
Did you ever heard of adoption, or fostercare?
So you'd rather have children (who came from heterosexual couples who decided to have children and just not care for them, or abuse them or worse, but hey, I'm not judging) living in a orphanage or going through the system constantly, only to be thrown on the streets when they turn 18.
Sure not my personal choice, but do what feels good.
I'd rather help people, instead of only thinking about myself and never look to the rest of humanity.
Angel Skyline Clearly don't understand what 'in principle' means.
Anticitizen 98
Yeah I do understand.
So I make my point again:
What if heterosexual couples can't have children.
Then they litteraly can't have children of their own.
But hey, based on your comment that doesn't matter.
So why should it with homosexuals.
By the way, that heterosexual couples can have children, doesn't mean they should have.
I know lots of people who would be better parents, and would raise there children better than the biological parents ever would be able to.
"I don't like gay marriage."
"Then don't have a gay wedding."
The first lady mentioned the "1000s of years old definition of marriage" like it wasn't normal for men to have a harem of wives 1000s of years ago 🤣
Imagine being so upset with yourself that you’d try and deny TWO OTHER PEOPLE getting married, something that doesn’t even effect you at all. Pathetic.
Um it messes up the entire education system, confuses children + next generation, restricts freedom of speech, disrespect towards other cultures and religions just to name a few.
Karamatsu girl people like me or people who are religious are now not able to voice our opinions openly without getting tons of hate and judgment because we are apparently ‘homophobic’. Now 3% of the population is trying to dictate what other people should say and accept.
Karamatsu girl in some places, you are not allowed to misgender someone. That’s dictating what people should or must say. That’s restriction of freedom of speech
Hannah Guo oh please, what bad is gonna happen to you if you misgender someone in "some places"? Someone politely correcting you to adress him or her in the gender he or she prefers? Oh that's terrible! D: You know what happen's to gay people in "some places"? They get beat up or killed over nothing. And your attitude isn't helping.
blEkk in Canada you can get arrested for misgendering someone. They don’t deserve to be beaten because that’s jut wrong, but in civilized, western countries, we are prioritizing them instead of focusing on real issues
"My religion doesn't allow me to do that" yes!
"My religion doesn't allow you to do that" no!!!
Kebzay Thank you!
Not much of a convincing argument is it?
John Moore / it is convincing, actually. It says that your personal religion shouldn't affect the lives of other people. A perfectly reasonable argument.
meaty, If religious people followed that ok, but they don’t, i don’t knock on people’s doors preaching atheism, yet I get many religious people knocking on my door preaching their religion to me.
John Moore You technically can preach about atheism, its just that, you choose not to.
i'm straight myself but i think Jim Carey said it best, "as long as your hearts in the right place i don't care what you put in your mouth".
To quote Rick Sanchez, "I'm sorry. But your opinion means very little to me."
I always wonder how 2 people getting married would ever have anything to do with these people...are they gonna live in the same house with them afterwards?
It doesn't have anything to do with them. They just think it does.
Personally I don't think it matters who you love, if you love them you should be able to marry them.
Debbie Lough agreed!
well, i wouldn't marry my cat. just kidding
DEKIKK best comment I've read on TH-cam. As simple as it is.
Kristian Kristian you're comparing two adults in a loving, consenting relationship to murder.
My wife was 45 and I was 55 when we got married, we had no intention of having children, have we upset God???
Wordavee1 no you haven't
God isn't real so don't worry about it
James TH
The question was rhetorical, I'm an atheist.
Wordavee1 so am I
I just respect other's beliefs if they don't harm others
Wordavee1 no point. In coffin. Dodgers. Getting married End of.
I think people who say "I'm Christian" as justification for their own closed-mindedness just tarnishes the name of Christianity, to be honest.
Being Christian means you read the Bible and follow its teachings. And in the Bible, it clearly states marriage is between a man and a woman. You can be open minded as a Christian but that is what the Bible says. In fact many Christians are respectful of gay people even if they are against that view. I am pretty sure the Bible does not state anything about gay marriage and because of that, does it mean you can assume it is ok? Either for or against, it is not up to you or the public to decide because it is the will of God. If it is not written, is it not safe to follow tradition rather than change it into something God would be totally against? Seeing it from this stand point, I can understand what Christians are thinking... This is from me, someone who is not a Christian. Maybe if you are more open minded... you could see that...
@@iLAGnDC if god was against gay marriage, he would have done something to prevent it. The fact that we now have it means he clearly isn't bothered.
@@otismoran8512 Come on... even I am not Christian and I know they believe God made us to have free will and that God judges what you did with that free will when you die... To interfere means to interfere with that free will.
It is like saying God does not interfere in war so clearly he isn't bothered. Stupid argument.
Again... the Bible does not care for social means. I personally think it is stupid to try bend a religion that has been around for thousands of years to fit social wants. The Bible is the word of God... not the word of man... don't get it twisted...
@@iLAGnDC I'm just trying to say that the argument that Christians can't support gay marriage because the Bible doesn't mention it is stupid.
@@otismoran8512 The Bible is the word of God and to say it is fine is to put words in Gods mouth... If something is not stated, is it not best to either assume it is bad or just simply do not do it in case?
"I'm a Christian..." and there you have it!
I'm all for gay marriage. Not because of my undying empathy and compassion for my fellow man, but because I simply dont give a shit.
I wanna marry my girlfriends mother baby yeah cos she a sexy chick she a crazy chick hell yeah my niggas give
stayjit1 I thought i was the only one
Very well said. I agree 100% lol.
you sound like a guy i could get along with
Amazing comment!!! :)
There are no "accidental" children in gay marriage, all children born into a gay family are thoroughly planned for and most are well loved compared to some heterosexual couples who abuse their kids and take them for granted.
Brilliant comment
Very very true
cos all gay couples do such a wonderful job.... I must have imagined the UK news report of two gay men adopting a baby and one killing the poor child because he could not cope … the other helped him cover it up.... such darlings.

@@1234poppycat Wow, one example of bad gay parents. Well that's conclusive!
"marriage is about children" Oh yes, because it is impossible to conceive outwith marriage.

There actually was a scandal with a scientist who landed a probe on a meteor or something. Whole thing was overshadowed by him wearing a shirt with scantily-clad women all over it. Feminists lost their shit, shaming him endlessly to the point of tears. The kicker? He didn't even pick it out himself - his WIFE got it for him as a loving gesture. Also, I've seen rather good, comedic shirts with Hitler on it too. So, you know what? I think Matt has a valid point here.
***** If someone genuinely wore a hitler shirt as support to those acts then i would think there was something seriously wrong with them... and i wouldn't think it would be nice or compassionate... but its a TSHIRT, it does no harm really that someone can't forget within 10 seconds and yeah it might be slightly offensive but i will fight for the right to verbally offend all day long - that concept is deeply married to freedom of speech
why don't you ask that to Matt Taylor
I love what the one black women in the audience says:
"Love does not need religion for it is not religious. Loving someone is not wrong, allowing the church to rule over people's lives is wrong."
DAMN she said it
Things a re more complicated than that.
Speaking of which, I fell in love with my coworker while my wife sat at home raising my kids. Don't hate me, the heart wants what the heart wants.
Felipe Lima --- Nope, consent is still one (if not the most) important thing in love. Children (and animals for the people saying that compare same sex marriage to marrying a dog) CAN NOT give consent!! But an adult of any gender can. So why would you restrict them from marrying someone of the same gender?
Felipe Lima - I am Dutch indeed but that doesn’t mean I agree with a monarchy (and it is also a fallacy, attacking the person instead of solely the argument) - However, I would argue that bestiality SHOULD be illegal, even if Canada has apperantly legalized it. There is still no consent from the animal. Even if the animal were to like the situation somehow, they still do not understand the situation fully and therefore can not consent. The same thing goes for children. Bringing up transitioning and gender expression is besides the point as well but alas you brought it up. Personally I believe that gender expression should be free for every child (and every adult by the way). If a boy wants to wear a dress, let him. If someone born with a female body wants to be called “Dan” instead of the original “Danielle” and referred to as “he/him” then accept that. Even if this did not have to do with gender, this is just respecting individuality and personality. However, I agree that surgery should not happen right when someone says “I am transgender” because it can be difficult to reverse surgery. Yet, in most cases surgery only happens after a lot of interviews and counseling and it is actually very hard to get it. At least WAY harder than for a man and a woman to get a baby, which is also a pretty big thing.

Strange how the religious appear to end up with religions and holy books that fit their pre-existing thoughts and biases. Like every other Christian you cherry-pick those parts of the bible that fit with what you think and completely ignore, or dismiss, all the other parts. As for marriage in the bible, there are several different versions. Though how you can claim a book that condones slavery, murder, war, misogyny, homophobia, racism, child abuse, rape, beatings, racism and genocide, as 'moral' is beyond me. Why not try using the brain that you believe a God gave you?

No one is taking away Christianity.

@@markjones7251 putting aside the conspiracy theory you are trying to spread, your logic would mean that people are being persuaded to be gay causing the decline in birth rates.
Everything you have said is preposterous. But I'll entertain it for a moment.
You are using the false assumption that being gay is a choice or that you can "make" some one gay. This is totally untrue. All studies show that sexual orientations cannot be changed. So there is no one "pushing" homosexuality on us, because that is not possible.
You also seem to think that being gay is something that only (or at least mainly) occurs in western populations. This is also untrue. A person brought up in a more open and free minded family will be more likely to be open about their sexuality.
This is why you might feel that there are less gay people among minorities with strong traditional values. But they still exist nonetheless, and in the same numbers as they would if there was a wider acceptance of homosexuality (because you don't choose to be gay).
Regarding the other points, that are off topic from the debate in the video:
"Westerners dont have kids" ==> this is simply untrue. Just take a walk out side in the park on a sunny day. There are kids everywhere.
"they believe in nihilism, consumerism and hedonism" ==> At least half of the UK population identifies as Christian (just take a look at the comment section, there are many here). But even without looking at peoples religious beliefs, there is a strong sense of morality in western civilisation. That is why all forms of discrimination are pointed out and our society does it's best to irradiate this kind of thinking.
"mass immigration" ==> you're usual red herring for all racist agendas
"end of the west" ==> in what way? No country or way of life is set in stone. Movement of populations, changes in traditions and ways of life have always existed though out history and all over the globe. To try and keep things the same way is ridiculous.
"democracy cant survive this" ==> can't survive what? Democracy is not showing any signs of disappearing....
Anyway, you will reject anything anyone says that does not back up your crazy conspiracy theory.
Have a nice life 😉
"Marriage is between a man and a woman" - why tho? give me an ethical reason that isn't just you're religion says so
"Marriage is about having kids" - okay so you're proposing that infertile people and those who just don't want kids shouldn't be allowed to be married? that's a very unpopular stance
"Marriage is about religion" - apart from all the atheist couples that can get married at will, with vows available online to have a ceremony that is not religious. shall we ban that too?

The institution of marriage was when a man gave his daughter away for breeding in exchange for land and livestock. The daughter had no say in the matter. Gay marriage is more about love than the traditional values of marriage which in some ways let's face it, was close to sex trafficking.
bullshit
marriage is not about children, when you get married the vows you take are about your partner and nothing to do with marriage
With children
+Iamatreee Children born out of wedlock a bastard children(more of an insult to the promiscuous father who is out of the picture). Marriage should have happened before children become an issue. Marriage is between the partners, not the children.
+Iamatreee That is absurd. Marriage is the union between two people. The marriage/divorce laws were instituted to ensure children were accommodated. The marriage itself, is only between the couple being married.
+Iamatreee yes, and marriage itself was between a couple. Marriage was not for children. In fact, history has marriage being used for social and political gain through the union of families, where the people being married did not even love each other. The concept of marriage as a union of 2 people. The fact that a marriage happens to be the best environment for raising children, was not the reason marriage was instituted.
homophobes be like "every child deserves biological mother and father" but then those biological parents literally abandon their children after they came out as gay or lesbian ..while same sex parents do not abandon their children cause they are straight.. they are more committed to raising children and more tolerant ..why is everyone ignoring that ? which proves that those parents are not loving their children unconditionally and they do not understand their true feelings

"Marriage is not primarily about love." So, if a couple can't have children for whatever reason (i.e. infertility) then their marriage is useless? Not sure where the logic for that comes from. Also think its hilarious that you'd admit on national TV that you essentially don't love your husband.
Nowadays, the meaning of marriage in majority of cases is unclear. Yes, people say it's a celebration of love but I see it as an excuse for a woman and a man to have one day where they get to flash their cash and have the spotlight on them.
If marriage was really about love, then 50% of them wouldn't end in divorce.
Also if a child NEEDS both a mother and a father present for a 'correct' upbringing, what about single mothers and fathers? That women is ridiculous

Bare assertion is not reasoned argument, because I bloody say so.Now you can laugh.What you mean, and I'm wholly with you, is that you would LIKE it if a small, helpless and newly arrived being had with it its causes-for it is a little of both, but the custom is to call causes parents, and in FACT each result or child is the result of two-polar opposite, causes, although there may well be a less readily apparent cause.That there is nothing objectionable about homosexual *practices* is a RELIGIOUS *belief*-a religion being any set of related beliefs assumptions presumptions and norms- the Mr god fantasy being entirely optional when one enters upon believing and assuming and norms-that maleficent invention called morals or ' I-am-right'.
What is a right without a remedy, is a question that is posed to all students of the law of equity-which is entirely normative so long as men with guns can agree with your norms;law without power being merely a cypher.

So techincally this lady, for all her preachy attitude is actually breaking her precious biblical laws herself.

Nium Johal she is fucked in the head.
I don't think so. You do raise a very interesting question. I think marriage between a heterosexual, infertile couple is like a symbol of child bearing marriage - something good and pure. It encourages settled domesticity, seriousness and responsibility and allows those who could not have children to foster those things. People who marry in later age often mark an understanding of their union's lesser significance by being less extravagant with their party and invitations. It is a symbol in a pure sense and the rings and traditions are perfect tokens. I think those marriages are still good and useful.
Ambro Wait, you're actually defending that argument?? Infertile heterosexual couples can marry because they're "good and pure", but gay couples aren't??? You're acknowledging that marriage has symbolic value, but only for straight people??? At least you've been driven to the point where you're outright admitting your bigotry.
There is no logical reason to be against gay marriage. It doesn't affect straight marriage in any way; in fact it doesn't prevent us from doing anything. If you disagree with the lifestyle, don't practice it.

Should I care about your sexuality? I never asked, so irrelevant. So am I, but I'm not apologetic to people who put their emotions in the rule of law.

@tubehows4life You just have to look at the injustices and harassment gay people have to deal with, along with the high levels of depression in the gay community that occurs as a direct result of the sigma and rejection experienced everyday, to see that no one is gay because they think it's trendy or cool.
Homosexuality has always existed. There were periods were homosexuals were much less visible due to the higher levels of intolerance at those times. You do know it was actually considered a crime before?
tubehows4life i think it’s nice that people feel comfortable saying they’re gay, although, if you read some of this comment section, i certainly wouldn’t be if i were gay... and i think it’s more that people have always been gay, it’s just more widely accepted now. the LGBT community has always been massive, just underground, and now it’s at a forefront in the media, etc. people may disagree with someone’s sexuality, but it doesn’t mean it’s going to go away anytime soon.
(also, as a side note, gay people do still suffer horrifically just for being who they are, being killed, shot, beat up, harassed, even if it’s not the biggest taboo anymore. i mean, just read some of these comments. the women in these videos aren’t the victims - if they’re happy being openly homophobic on live television, happily so, i think they’re bold enough to deal with the backfire of it.)
@tubehows4life
"Any trolls are being shot down and overwhelmed"
Thank God they are shot down. It would be a huge concern if they were not. But the fact that they are here in the comment section say the most violent and gross things in proof homophobia is still a thing.
The fact that the majority of people accept homosexuality does not change the fact that homophobia still exists. And homosexuals are regularly physically assaulted just for being gay.
You can't state homophobia is gone and "that's a fact", when all facts show the opposite. I provided you with many link to various sources that all show homophobia is sadly still very alive in the UK.
And comparing you're experience as a cyclist to the horrific experiences that gay people have to deal with is just stupid.
If the Gay Pride is not your thing then fine. A lot of people (not only homosexuals) enjoy the parade and go along to party. So it has become bigger over the years. It doesn't change the initial message of the gay pride that is the gay community should not have to hide and should be proud of how they are.
@tubehows4life
You said "demonstrating exactly the point that harassment of gays is all but gone." in your last post...
I gave 5 separate links that all show homophobia is still a huge problem. And physical assaults are still happening at a daily basis. You just choose to ignore them as it doesn't fit your narrative.
And stop it with the bicycle thing. That's your typical go to when losing an argument: "I'm the real victim here. Poor little me!"
As for the gay pride, you are aware that not all homosexuals go to it? It's not everyone's scene. Stop trying to define the entire gay community with one event.
Any festival or large event has some pretty crazy stuff going on. It doesn't reflect peoples everyday lives.
Have you never been to any parties where people were letting down their hair and getting a bit wild?
Why do you keep saying it's a fad? Are you saying it's a choice???
Please don't tell me you're functioning under that out-date assumption that has been disproven thousands of times?
Here are the links about homophobia and violence we still have to deal with in the UK again if you missed that post (but my guess is you are just rejecting anything that doesn't suit your narrative):
www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-lgbt-survey-summary-report/national-lgbt-survey-summary-report
--> Some extracts from the link:
"At least 2 in 5 respondents had experienced an incident because they were LGBT, such as verbal harassment or physical violence, in the 12 months preceding the survey. However, more than 9 in 10 of the most serious incidents went unreported, often because respondents thought ‘it happens all the time’"
"The existing evidence suggests that LGBT people are at greater risk than the general population of being victims of crime"
"70% said they had avoided being open about their sexual orientation for fear of a negative reaction"
And it actually seems homophobic incidents are becoming more frequent in recent years :
www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/gay-lgbt-hate-crimes-stats-rise-four-year-physical-verbal-homophobic-abuse-community-a7933126.html
"More than one in five LGBT people have experienced a hate crime or incident due to their sexual orientation or gender identity in the last 12 months, compared with 16 per cent in 2013."
Here you can see the number homophobic incidents per 10000 LGBT people in each region that were actually reported in just one year :
www.amnesty.org.uk/homophobia-map-uk-england-wales
But in all sources here above, you will find that over 80% of homophobic hate crimes go unreported (see also here : "Four in five LGBT people (81 per cent) who experienced a hate crime or incident didn't report it to the police" www.stonewall.org.uk/lgbt-britain-hate-crime-and-discrimination )
So as horrific as that map is, it's only the tip of the iceberg.
You can also see many stats here that show how frequent homophobia and discrimination against gay people is. And that includes, everyday life, schools and the work place:

@tubehows4life
So unsurprisingly, you have dismissed all links provided as being "leftist".
By the way this one is a government link : www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-lgbt-survey-summary-report/national-lgbt-survey-summary-report
Here are just a few extracts:
"The existing evidence suggests that LGBT people are at greater risk than the general population of being victims of crime"
"Despite this progress on legal entitlements, research and evidence has continued to suggest that LGBT people face discrimination, bullying and harassment in education, at work and on the streets, hate crime and higher inequalities in health satisfaction and outcomes."
"Over two thirds (68%) of all respondents with a minority sexual orientation said they had avoided holding hands in public with a same-sex partner for fear of a negative reaction from others."
After simply dismissing any evidence that doesn't fit your narrative, you start with the "what about" arguments.
"Gay people get harassed, but what about Jahova's Witnesses?"
"Gay people get harassed, but what about cyclists?" (still can't believe you seriously use this as an example...).
This kind of logic is toxic. As if one form of discrimination justifies or lessens another.
All discrimination is condemned whether it's to do with ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious belief.
And defending one group, doesn't mean you can't defend the other as well.
But you'll never convince me that we need something special put in place for cyclists... "Cycliphobia" is not a thing.
Homosexuality isn't a choice. I don't see what you're trying to prove by bringing paedophilia into the mix. That has nothing to do with homosexuality.
Comparing a consensual relationship between two adults and a predatory behaviour towards a child is totally absurd and offensive.
"Where has anyone defined homosexuality by just one event? Give direct referenced quotation."
==> You're the one who brought up the Gay Pride as if it had anything to do with the topic. You seem to think it is some kind of proof that homophobia is over and being gay is just a fashion choice.
Again, attending a Gay Pride is one thing. Living as a gay person is another.
As you said, there are non-gays at the Gay Pride. The Gay Pride is fashionable. But living as a gay person is totally different. We're talking about someone's life, not what clothes they are wearing...
And again, like in one of your previous comments, you compare being gay to nazis.
While simultaneously claiming homophobia is disappearing.
I mean this is homophobia: "it's a fad and people get caught up in fads all the time (see Nazi fads, drugs fads, depression fads, tattoos fads, etc)"
You just put being gay on the same level as nazis, drugs, depression and tattoos...
That's mess up.
I simply don't understand people who are against gay marriage.
Love is love, everyone is the same. It's human rights for everybody!
Sibby Rose I think you'll find its about population control and social engineering ..couples reproducing is what the state required for a working population..that is no longer a necessity
BU11ZxX go to hell we don't need you
yes and tomorrow if a man wants to marry his mother you will support that too!
Well, things a a bit more nuanced than love is love, but they should be allowed through law. Even though most gays don't really marry. It's a non-issue. Speaking of love being love, I fell in love with my coworker while my wife raised our kids at home. Don't hate me, love is love, the heart wants what the heart wants.

“Not any more!”🤣
People seem to think that homosexual relationships are a threat to heterosexual relationships. Which is just dumb.

Yes,actually marriage is better then not
@Anton Babani do you understand that homosexuality is common among the animal kingdom, and we're not particularly natural beings either.
@Anton Babani oops you're wrong there, some animals have populations that are *exclusively* homosexual, sheep for example where about 10% of Rams are exclusively homosexual, I'd say that'd be enough to be considered a lifestyle
@Anton Babani you obviously wouldn't have because the farm has very few Rams, and because in the presence of humans they would be focused on fleeing from you. Do you understand statistics by the way? Also here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3085551/
Still baffles me how somebody can have a problem with SOMEONE ELSE'S sexual preference

That one girl to be fair, the original purpose of marriage was political and used to unite houses
It didn’t become a romantic concept until much, much later
@@Damon242 true
DespairNemesis the entire argument here as to biological children in marriage is basically a slap in the face to every solo parent, widow or adopted parent.
It’s also conflates two very separate issues.
An individual or child (isn’t exclusive to children) will seek out role models regardless of whether they have a mother or father present - it’s not guaranteed that those parents automatically fill the role by simply being present.
Bitch saaaammmeee

So are Muslims and Jews bigots in your tiny little world? Because all three religions, Christianity, Islam and Hebrew are opposed to gay marriage. And they have as much right to their opinion as you do without you dismissing them as 'bigots' because they don't agree with you.
Carl Swanson theyre entitled to their opinion...of course they are. Enforcing their religions views onto others is just wrong. And I have Christian and Islamic friends that are incredibly supportive of LGBT+ people. They can have their opinion but enforcing it into other people’s lifestyles is too far.
Carl Swanson Just because I’m Christian doesn’t mean I’m opposed to gay marriage my dude
@@UmmCarl in fact yes, if they dont believe in equality they are bigots, many Christian's believe in gay marriage

When Elton John got married it wasn’t the first time the vicar had seen his ring
Isnt it scary that this was only 5 years ago
We still have a long way to go.
In the Netherlands same sex marriage was legalised in 2001..
@Beverly Mandahl Do you even know what's wrong with pedophiles? Because if you do you wouldn't say this. Two grown up people in love =/= raping kids!
@Beverly Mandahl Prove this law. There is nothing about this at all. Not sure if just trolling or a conspiracy theorist.
It makes me happy to see a person with an Ahri avatar making this comment =)
I'm sterile. guess that means i shouldn't be able to get married then!
MeliaTheMuffin, That’s about the long & short of some of these arguments, makes you kind of sad for some of these people who want to deny you the rights they take for granted.All the best.
Only to a tin of pasteurised milk (joke)
Whar does that mean?
8:41 look at the fear on her face when the lady next to her says "Why cant you accept us being married" lol
“Marriage is about children.” Sooo you gonna be putting up a fight if two straight people get married and choose not to have kids? Same-sex couples can be parents too ya know. 🙄
There is still, despite HUNDREDS of hours of television debate et al on the topic, still not ONE.SINGLE.PERSON. who has been able to explain, to any degree of efficiency, just why gay marriage will affect anyone else's sanctity of marriage.
Peter-John de Kock Indeed!
Raimund Bilei So, by your logic and based on your comment, you are also opposed to heterosexual marriage *unless* the couple has children, correct? If you answer no, then you'll need to edit your response above as it only speaks to marriage where children are involved. So .... not only are you a religious bigot, you're bigoted against those that are childless. Gee. TH-cam really brings the asshole out in some people!
Raimund Bilei Yes, religious bigot. You want to encroach upon the lives of free people and legislate via your superstitious beliefs, (i.e. "religious"), and based on those religious beliefs, you are intolerant of certain people's right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Hence "religious bigot". Do you comprehend the use of those two words together in a sentence? I am happy to clarify further if it's still a struggle for you to understand. Based on your comment you are against people marrying if they are medically unable to have children. With that very rare and inane ideology why wouldn't you relocate to a Hutterite community or North Korea or somewhere else where you can feel snuggled up in a political/religious cocoon? You would be much better off in a theocracy or fascist state. It is just unbelievable how many people like you yearn for big brother, big-government ... to step into the lives of free people. And you call ME a liberal, lol. No liberal here ... as for you though, you've made it quite clear you wish for your religion and your government to intercede in the lives of free folks. Ugh. So many religious busy bodies who want a theocracy instead of our wonderful republic. Very disappointing. :(
Raimund Bilei Weird. And I expect you to dodge this fact the same way you dodged my last ones, but the animal kingdom has many, many examples of same-sex mating. You're 0-3 here, cowboy. ;)
Raimund Bilei Surely you've heard of chimpanzees? Vampire bats? These aren't just companionships, (though several mammals do mate for life in *same sex pairs*), these are animals that rub genitalia together, they *mate*.Okay. ONE more time. You said: "People who choose not to have children should not get married", and then proceeded to call me a liberal. I then said YOU are the "liberal" that you are trying to stereotype, as YOU are the one whi wishes for government to encroach upon and interced IN the lives of free people. This is a republic, jack. Not sure where you live, but there is no big brother here. Do you believe every single couple who has been married in the last 2,000 years who did not beget children should not have been married?
