Per Warren's suggestion I'm opening this topic up for discussion.

I'm of the opinion that being gay shouldn't mean having to assimilate to social norms. The fight for gay marriage is important, but the DESIRE for gay marriage is questionable. Marriage is a social straight-jacket. Monogamy is mostly socially conditioned.

So why should we even want these things? Why do we want to be dad, dad and 2.5 adopted kids? All that means is that the straights have won by making us conform and making us assimilate. They are still setting the standards of what is "normal" and what is "okay".


Look at this tree. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time [...] No matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
