GaY MaRRiagE, GaY pRidE
The first Gay Pride in Amsterdam (the capital of the Netherlands) was in 1996. Since then the event is celebrated every year, the first weekend of August. It is a 3-day event. This year was from July 31, Aug.1 until Aug. 2. The annual highlights of the Amsterdam Gay Pride are the gay street parties, gay dance parties and the world famous Canal Parade on the Amsterdam canals. The Canal Parade is a colorful parade of boats on the first Saturday of August, which starts from the Westerdokseiland through the Prinsengracht, Amstel, Zwanenburgwal and Oude Schans to Oosterdok. Further there are street parties in various gay night streets in Amsterdam.
In 2001, the Netherlands became the first modern nation to grant same-sex marriages. During the cruise Amsterdam Mayor Job Cohen wed five Dutch-American gay couples.
Thousand of visitors and viewers (around 560,000) came to witness the event. They stood along the side of the canals to watch the parade. Homo, hetero, young and old found the event amusing and entertaining.
It was a cheerful and colorful day.
GAY MARRIAGE, what can you say about it? Is it allowed in your country? What is your idea?
In my point of view, I can say "RESPECT INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES".
11 smart remarks:
here in my country, philippines, same-sex marriage is not yet allowed. aside from that, gays and lesbians were not openly accepted by some community, even some family. i actually have a lot of gay friends who remains in the closet. :(
Honestly, I do not agree with that. I watched a feature from History Channel pertaining to sin of sexuality. And one of the reason why great nations fell in the ancient times.
Those gays doesn't look like one. They are a hunk too. I am not against gay but I am not yet sure about gay marriage. I have many friends who are gay and I respect them of what they are. I think that's what matter the most. Thanks for visiting my friend.
Wherever you are in the universe, natural or spiritual law forbids same sex union. Marriage is a ceremonial bonding and it could be acceptable (whether church or civil), what is immoral is the act of sex. Sex is a gift of procreation and the pleasure is just an add on. What happens in gay couples is that they are exploiting the latter without the capability of the former. I'm sorry but God marked it a SIN.
Something like this won't happen in my country.
great country from human rights. in my country same sex marriage is not allowed
Oh, honestly, I do not agree with that. It is abominable with God according to the bible.
Gay people also have the right to choose their partners in life, although majority do not agree with the same sex marriage because of religious beliefs, others are more lenient.
Nako diyos ko ang ma macho nmn ng mga gay na to hehehe..

I say yes to gay marriage. thay have all the right to be happily married with the person they love.
