The other day I was listening to a Desi radio program where they were discussing the same topic. They were taking calls on air and getting listeners' views on same sex marriage. Some of the points raised were:
1) Same sex marriages are being approved mainly on the basis of 'Minority Rights'. Lets say tomorrow if someone falls in love with his / her pet and he/she wants to marry that pet and he/she gets 500 more persons like him/her, so they become 'Minority Group'. Would they also be allowed to marry their pets?
2) Even if the same sex couples are allowed to marry but they must not be allowed to adopt a child or give birth. Its gonna be major 'Identity' issue for the kids.
3) Whenever you go beyond the rules of nature, it takes revenge. In times to come, there could be many more dangerous and incurable diseases like AIDS.
4) One of the listener said that in his neighbourhood, there is an old 'same sex couple (gays)' living there for about 20 years. Both might be over 60 years and GOD knows what kind of 'Bimaari' they have that they do not wear clothes, rather they 'CAN NOT' wear any clothes. Whenever somebody goes to their house like some direct marketer or courier boy or pizza delivery boy.....they always find them naked. One of the Pizza delivery Desi guy told him (to the listener) that both have hugh red and grey marks all over their skin.
5) Soon the story books will have stories like: 'Ek Raja Tha. Uske teen raaje the. Un teen raajon se us raaje ke do-do raj kumar the. Jab woh raaj kumar bade hue to us raaje ne un sab ka 'Balak Daan' kiya. Un teeno ki shaadi padosi desh ke raaje ke raj kumaaron se hui. Us padosi desh ke raaje ke bhi teen raaje the jinse uske do-do raj kumar the'
Chalo bataao ki is parivaar mein kitne raaje the???
6) Very interesting one: There will be a remake of Sholay (Gabbar Singh fame) and this time Gabbar will say: "Are o Samba.....dekh to, Canada ne Gabbar ko pakdne ke liye Chhakon ki fauj tayyar ki hai"
I just wanted to share some of the views expressed by the listeners. Anyway, whatever it would be, but personally I don't agree with the 'same sex marriages'. Kudrat ka kanoon sab se bada kanoon hai aur us kanoon ko todne ki saza bahut bhaari hoti hai....yeh mera apna maan-na hai.
interesting
. Here would be *MY* opinions.ans1) Once pets have equal rights as humans then ofcourse we could consider marriages between humans and pets. I think our society(and the pets ofcourse
) has quite some time to go before that 
ans2) Sez who? If the father is in Dubai/dead etc and the child is raised by the mom and her sister/mother, will the child have an identity crisis too? Or if the mom is dead and the child is raised by the father and his brother?
ans3)Can any of us go back living in caves because thats how 'nature' intended it. OR did nature intend us to evolve and change?. Not that being gay is evolution in any sense...gay people have been part of civilization since the start of time.
ans 4) nice story. I'll ask my pizza guy if he knows such people too
. Maybe those two were aliens from the planet Zgork? They were in the process of metaphysical trasformation into ugly squids?Ans 5) In a monarchy...definitely, succession would be an issue. I think we are talking about a different issue here. Arent we?
. Did Imiss the point...or was there a point to story at all?ans 6) Yes nice angle. I really dont know how this fits into the issue...byt anyway:
If the transvestites can do the job(acting as army)..why not?
. Or was someone implying that the Canadian mlitary/police(in the movie remake) will turn to transvestites/hermaphrodites because gay marriage is legalised?

Someone mentioned that one of the reasons people lobbied for same sex marriage was to enable same sex couples to adopt and raise children. First, is that true? I mean, is it illegal and forbidden for a single adult to adopt a child? And if it is, why? We do see several single parents bringing up their children without any problems to anyone. So if single parents are capable of bringing up children, why should adoption by a single parent not be allowed.
And if adoption by single parent is allowed then why do same sex couple need to "marrry" to allow them to adopt. Can they not just live together and adopt?
