I heard news about the President Obama supported gay marriage, and I think that he is brave, even if he is aware of the election.
"Obama says gay marriage stance ‘the right thing to do,’ courts women, gay, young voters in NYC" Washington Post By Associated Press, Published: May 15 (http://goo.gl/0tnxm)
I wrote about an entry about the gay society in Japan.
"Everyday Life in Shinjuku 2-chome: Gay People Aren't Special at All" (http://goo.gl/dQyRC)
Of course there is discrimination against gay people and some people hate them, but generally speaking Japanese society is relatively tolerant of gay people, because our religion have never prohibited homosexuality and Japan have a long tradition of it, which is called "衆道 shudo".
In the U.S., the problem about gay marriage is deeply related to Christianity and it's always quite dangerous to state about the problems about religion, because some people are intolerant.
I think that PACS in French is a quite wise solution against this problem.
"Civil solidarity pact" Wikipedia (http://goo.gl/EUP7)
PACS has secularized marriage. A gay couple can get right almost equivalent to marriage, and they don't conflict with religious principle of Christianity.
I don't know the reason, but in Japan most people and politicians have no attention to the problem about gay marriage. As I wrote, Japan has the long tradition of homosexuality, but it has been completely out of marriage. They couldn't even imagine a marriage between same sex partners.
I heard that some gay couple in Japan became a father and a son in low because they wanted to ensure the succession of property to each other. If they live in French, they must use PACS.
But even PACS doesn't allow any consanguineous marriage, bigamous marriage and plural marriage. If they are spontaneous, I can't understand what is the problem.
I support gay marriage, consanguineous marriage, bigamous marriage and plural marriage!
オバマ大統領が同性婚を支持したというニュースを聴き、仮にそれが選挙を意識したものであっても勇気があると思った。
日本のゲイソサエティに関するエントリーを書いたことがある。
もちろん、ゲイへの差別はあり、ゲイを嫌っている人もいるけれど、一般的にいえば日本は比較的ゲイに寛容である。それは、宗教がホモセクシュアルを禁じていなかったし、「衆道」と呼ばれるホモセクシュアルの長い伝統があったからである。
アメリカ合衆国では、同性婚の問題はキリスト教と深い関係があり、宗教に関する問題について発言することは、不寛容な人が存在するから非常に危険である。
フランスのPACSはこの問題に関する賢い解決法だと思う。
PACSは結婚を世俗化した。ゲイのカップルは、キリスト教の教義に抵触することなく、結婚とほぼ同じ権利を得ることができる。
理由はわからないけれど、日本ではほとんどの人、政治家が同性婚の問題に関心がない。上記のように、日本ではホモセクシュアルのな外伝統があるけれど、それらは完全に結婚とは無関係である。彼らは、同性間の結婚ということは想像すらできない。
日本のゲイのカップルは、お互いの遺産相続を確実にするために、養子縁組を結ぶということを聞いたことがある。もし、フランスで生活していたら、確実にPACSを利用すると思う。
しかし、PACSですら、近親婚、重婚、複数婚は許容していない。もし自発的なものだったら、それらがなぜ問題なのか私は理解できない。
私は、同性婚、近親婚、重婚、複数婚を支持します！

Of course there is discrimination against gay people and some people hate them. But generally speaking, Japanese society is relatively tolerant of gay people, because our religion (Shinto/Buddism) has never prohibited homosexuality. Japan has a long tradition of it, which is called "衆道 shudo".
"Manual shudo"? WTH???
S., the problem with gay marriage is deeply related to Christianity. and it's always quite dangerous to state the problems of religion, because some people are intolerant.
*cough*Florida*cough*

I don't know the reason, but in Japan most people and politicians pay no attention to the concept of gay marriage.
Gay marriage is not a problem.
We only want to live the same as not-gay couples do.
As I wrote, Japan has the long tradition of homosexuality, but it has been completely outside of marriage.
I heard that some gay couples in Japan became fathers and sons in law because they wanted to ensure the succession of property to each other.
If they lived in France, they must use PACS.
But even PACS doesn't allow any consanguineous marriage, bigamous marriage or polygamous marriage.
If they are spontaneous, I can't understand what is the problem.
Incest leads to fugly children with webbed toes and a talent for the banjo.
I support gay marriage, consanguineous marriage, bigamous marriage and polygamous marriage!
That is why we had George W. Bush Jr. as a president.
I heard on the news that President Obama has come out in support of gay marriage. I think that he is brave to do so, even if it is with an eye to the upcoming election.
Note: "with an eye to something" = "if you do something with an eye to something else, you do it for that reason"
I have written previously about homosexuality in Japan.
Of course there is discrimination against gay people and some people hate them, but generally speaking, Japanese society is relatively tolerant of gay people because our religion has never prohibited homosexuality and Japan has had a long tradition of "shudo; 衆道 (male homosexuality)".
Note: actually, traditional Tibetan Buddhism is surprisingly puritanical in its teachings on sex.
S., the problem about gay marriage is deeply related to Christianity and it's always quite hazardous to discuss problems relating to religion because some people are intolerant.
I think that the system of PACS in French is quite a wise solution to this problem.
A gay couple can have almost the same rights as a married heterosexual couple without coming into conflict with the religious principles of Christianity.
I don't why, but in Japan most people and politicians have no interest in the issue of gay marriage.
As I wrote, Japan has had a long tradition of homosexuality, but it has been completely outside the domain of marriage.
Apparently, a marriage between same sex partners was unimaginable.
I've heard that some gay couples in Japan become father and son legally in order to be able to leave property to one another.
If they lived in France, they could use PACS.
But even PACS doesn't allow consanguineous marriage or polygamy.
If they are consensual, I can't understand what is the problem is.
I support gay marriage, consanguineous marriage and polygamy!
However, marriage has come to mean much more than this and also there are rights bestowed on spouses which people in other kinds of relationships would also want to have - not just property rights, but also rights to make decisions about medical treatment etc. So I can understand why they might want similar rights. I just don't know whether marriage - given its history - is the best medium.
Of course, like you, I support the rights of consenting adults to practise the sexuality of their choice. I just wonder whether it is wise to confuse "sexuality" with "marriage".
Also, there is no mention here of lesbians - if 衆道 was acceptable in old Japan, how permissible was lesbianism?
This statement, is what makes me want to support Gay marriage. People against gay marriage argue that Marriage is a sacred right between man and woman...But let's be honest here. It stopped being sacred the minute divorces became mainstream. The US has a high divorce rate and I'm sure it would be even higher if not for the economic hardships the US is facing at the moment. On top of that, people cheat on each other constantly.
Then they use religion, which we all know has nothing to do with this mess because church and state are supposed to be separate anyway.
I guess it can be said that I support gay marriage because the arguments against it just aren't strong enough.
I don't know the tradition of lesbians in Japan. 衆道 might be related to misogyny like ancient Greece.
Zia san
I think that people have the right to believe that marriage is sacred, at the same time they don't have the right to impress their own belief to the others.
