  • I'm gay and I support gay marriage, but I understand what he's saying. He's saying that marriage has religious connotations and because different religions have different views on marriage, it should not be rewarded any rights under secular law. Instead, those laws should be tranferred to civil unions which would be available to everyone, and marriage would be out of the legal sphere and be solely the decision of different religions and individuals.

  • Does that make him a loser?

    In my country it is legal...

    Why should it be illegal? How can any country call itself free (as in freedom) and saying it supports equal rights if it does not allow some groups of people to marry? It's absurd!

  • It must be exactly the same.

  • It wasn't just the Corvair that he was attacking. It was the entire car industry designing cars that didn't have any sensible safety features like something as simple as having seatbelts, or not having dashboards and steering wheels made out of chrome, so you don't bash your skull in when you're in a collision. It used to be the car industry talking point that it was the crazy behind the wheel that was responsible for car accident deaths, and not the design of the car.

  • Like everything else, as we are learning, freedom of religion entails responsibilities, and unfortunately responsibilities need governing. Churches are not allowed to do anything they want, like fuk their kids, or discriminate against gays when the church takes money from government.

  • hes right hes saying that government shouldnt have anything to do with religious things like marriage and such and hes right

  • And the corvair, the car that made him famous for his consumer protectivenss, wasn't so bad after all. I don't even dislike Nadir.

  • Gosh. Nothing seems to have prepared you for reality. Gays have existed as long as marriage, and integrating them into marriage can only serve us all, remove the nonsensical shame of loving adults, and get on with our lives. Nadir did cop out on this. Pathetic compromise.

  • Its not a cop out at all, its just that marriage was originally reserved for religious institutions and he understands the mindset of most people, he is right, it is hurting their cause. We should all work towards getting the state out of marriage, civil unions whatever you want to call it.

  • What he is trying to say is that the State should have never even been involved in marriage. It should be up to the private sector.
