Parliament legalises same-sex marriage, but not adoption

[muellerican]

What happens if a single person adopts and then a few years later decides to marry someone of the same sex? What? This is against the best interests of the minor! If one child may benefit from his adoptive mother or father marrying...then why should another child may not benefit from his adoptive mother or father marrying? This makes no sense!

[CHARESTHEHAMER]

And in a not so cocking move the gays will next try to lower the age of consent.

*incert your catholic priest joke here*

[auntiesanity]

Wow, amazing. of course, Portugal is merely catching up with the rest of Europe - but she has always lagged a bit.

[tacv]

No. Actually only 5 other european countries have same sex marriage, this means that Portugal isn't "merely catching up with the rest of Europe" but is in the lead of Europe in same sex matters. Actually not only in the lead in Europe but in the World where Portugal is the 8th country in the world to legalize same sex marriage.

[auntiesanity]

@tacv Portugal is even behind South Africa n this regard - and quite frankly, I don't count the ex soviet block. They have an excuse for their backwardness.

[tacv]

Well you're once again wrong Europe is a big continent it has more than ex soviet countries. Europes powerfull like Germany, France, UK etc all don't acept same sex marriage. So once again Portugal is indeed in the front line in this matter in Europe ( 6th european country to legalize) and in the World (8th country to legalize). So yes you're wrong.

[tacv]

To be clearer Europe has 50 countries only 6 of them includingPortugal legalized same-sex marriage so yes Portugal is in the lead in this matter in Europe and in the World.

[auntiesanity]

@tacv Actually, you are wrong: Germany and England have civil unions, and recognise gay marriages of other countries.  France recognises all gay marriages of the EU. Portugal has not yet legalised anything... the president can still veto the bill. Also, Portugal has denied gays adoption rights - which is, let;'s be clear on this, the same as saying: we don't want our children becoming gay, which now officially brands gays as infectious. Great achievement: (hollow capping)

[tacv]

you're once again wrong. Im speaking about marriage and not civil unions. So you're completly wrong. And yes Portugal already legalized the law, it still needs publication, but the law was already approved. And the president has to sign it yes but if he doesn't approve it the parliment has the power to publish the law without president approval and they already approved it. So yes SAME SEX MARRIAGE is a great achievement.

[tacv]

Also i think its very clear that you are trying to find something just to not give the credit that Portuguese society and government deserves in this matter. You are looking for a silly discussion nothing more. So no matter what you say Portugal will be in history has the 6th country in Europe and the 8th in the world to legalize same sex marriage. If you have any problem with that shoot yourself cause thats a fact. End of discussion and cya

[auntiesanity]

@tacv Listen, friend - I have personal reasons for being extremely sceptical of Portugal's "achievement". Your government has caused tremendous suffering for gay people. I have been unable to settle there with my partner because of Portugal's anti-gay legislation. We have been living in Asia for 7 years because of it. So don't you talk about how wonderful your government and society has been to people like me - because they HAVEN'T! And you are shameless to think they have.

[tacv]

well u don't know Portugal at all ... Im gay myself and im portuguese so i can asure you that Portugal do not cause tremendous suffering to gay people. Also Portugal do not have anti-gay legislation. And this law just show how the government and the people think about gay people. If Portugal had anti-gay legislation then we would never aprove this law. If you are LGBT you should be happy and give credit for Portugal for this. I rest my case, you cleary don't know Portugal at all.

[auntiesanity]

@tacv because of Portugal's stance on gay marriage, we have had to live in my home country, which is more anti gay. Because Portugal has refused to recognise our union, my Portuguese partner resigned and has lived with me in China for the last 7 years. She survives on a working visa (something that we would not be able to get for me in Portugal as I am Chinese, too old, and have no skills considered necessary to you economy). You are selfish to only consider yourself an example.

[Clemburke1111]

I have studied the bible for many yrs, and probably know it better than you, the bible actually comands you to kill homosexuals, so why are you not doing so?

[Kevstar19]

Wow...so you condemn murder? Very interesting, that means you're also breaking the 6th commandment. You should study the bible just a tad closer. All those years studying have gone to waste.

Fucking religious comas everywhere. People just don't wanna get woken up.

[Clemburke1111]

Kev, I do not approve of murder the bible does. I am not a Christian , I do not believe in the bible but have studied it .

[Clemburke1111]

Kev, the Christian god in a thugish murderer, that wants us to do the same.

[Kevstar19]

Condone*** not condemn

[Franciscavid]

this is a shame to my country

but i think the law wount pass

gay peopla are all retard people that dont know what they like

[Kevstar19]

A shame to your country? How fucking sad are you people. Do you honestly believe all gay people are retards? You seriously think that they can't love like straight people can? Grow a fucking brain and get some medication for you Religious Coma.

[Franciscavid]

i just dont get how can a man like another man. there must be something wrong in their mind! how can they not like a sexy ass from a hot woman...

and another think is they puting their stuf into others asses and like

im telling you they are retarded, they shouldnt marry and my country is not happy about this.... only the retarders

[Kevstar19]

Are all you Portuguese people stupid? It sure as hell seems that way. So does that mean your against anal sex with a man and a woman? Because its the same deal there. They're not retarded, they just have a different hormone/gene growth pattern. It starts when they begin in the mother's womb. The mother's body thinks that the male fetus is a foreign body. So in response, the mother's body releases female hormones and feminizes the fetus. Stop judging people for what they are. Prick.

[Franciscavid]

so, yo telling me that you are gay??

Im ok with it, just go be gay to another place far away from me.

[Kevstar19]

I'm not gay. I just have common sense. I hope you know a lot of straight people defend gay people. I'm one of those people. "Go be gay to another place far away from me." Wow can you be any more ignorant?

[Franciscavid]

jsut think with me..

you are not gay, right??

i assume you are a boy, right??

so i also assume that you like girls, that you feel atracted by them, right??

so tell me, do you love a guy that loves your dick and wants to make a giant hole in your butt?????

i think they mix love with friendship plus their retard wish to make shit

is like a magnet, only diferent oposite energy can bound together

[Kevstar19]

You make absolutely no sense. At all. This conversation is over.

[Franciscavid]

it was nice to talk with you

[Franciscavid]

[pauleeg8]

I know, right. I'm glad you too support gay marriage. I love my partner - with my whole heart - and I hope your life is, or will be, full of hapiness and joy, just like mine has been. I've never been to Portugal though, so I guess on my next eurotrip I'll drop by. take it easy bud

[Franciscavid]

awsome

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

See what happens when people don't screen who is in Parliament. Now that there are more faggots in Potugals Parliament.

Potugals can now be known as the faggot nation.

[RealityGameWorld]

MIST TYPED IN LAST MESSAGE

[RealityGameWorld]

same-sex marriage, should beloud and adoption with same sex people as well.

kids grow up better with more understanding, in that kind of loving famliy.

religious people should not have kids they just brainwash them to be little haters.

& if they dont then more kids with no family are gonna have no family. with ether mums or dads. and are just gonna be orphan's. would it not be better 4 the kids to have a family, than no family. RELIGION NEEDS TO BANNED. NOT SAME SAX THINGS

[Lulzman69]

Eu acho isto muito mal.

FDS.

Tenho 14 anos, mas até um bebé percebe,que para haver igualidade, não devem haver casamentosdiferentes : Um que possibilite a adopção, e outro que a tenha como impossível.

Apesar de eu saber que, provavelmente, ainda vão demorar uns certos anos aos portugueses, conservadores como são, para perceberem que desde que os filhos, adoptados ou não, sejam educados a perceber, então não há NADA que torne impossível a adopção por casais homossexuais.

[Franciscavid]
