I don't even believe women are as adverse to two women in porn films as they are to two men. I believe more would have a problem seeing two men. THAT by the way is just my guess... not being a fan of such things.

I'm not.... but thanks anyway
To answer your question it was yes and no as they didn't go to the same extent in the dance as the males
I have always wondered why we frown when we see males dancing together, as it's quite common to see women dancing together at most dances we attend ( not parteners) many older women have lost their husbands and still enjoy going out to a dance and often that's the only way they get to dance, sadly ballroom dancing is dying out

I know people are going to do what they want, pick their mates, I don't even see anything wrong with two guys or two gals getting married. But there is always the same question in my head about how do you explain to little ones growing up when they ask things like "how come I have an inni, and he has an outi". I guess you have to go through the whole song and dance of "well, when boys marry boys, or girls marry girls, they can adopt children, or get artificially inseminated". I guess I answered my own question.
I know from my religious roots that it's a no no, but if two people are kind and loving to each other (in this day and age) children are better off there then in some home where there's drinking and abuse lets' say. imo
PS I know better then to bring up the physical act, in my opinion, not being very healthy, but then, I don't want to know, exactly, how they work that out. I guess with Lesbians it's different. I don't know, gads, who started this thread and why am I here

Under my three definitions of marriage the first two, "de jure" and "de facto" could apply equally to hetero and homo sex couples. It is only in sacramental marriages that the stipulation is for one man and one woman.
Same sex couples yearn for legal recognition of their unions just like anyone else. Many have children and want them to know that society sanctions their families too. I can understand these desires.
Our minister reckons the solution is to remove the power to perform marriages from the clergy. All marriages should then become civil unions for the purpose of registration. For couple who seek the blessing of the church, a second religious service could be held according to the rites of that particular religion but it would have no legal status.
As I mentioned earlier, I've been married for 52 years in a month's time and whether a same sex couple chooses to marry or not does not affect my marriage in the slightest. Why should I object to them trying to find happiness by entering a lifetime commitment to someone they love ?

It seems every time I look, the definition of moral (what is, what isn't) so why anybody should be shocked by anything that may develop I think is foolish. It seems logical that one thing does lead to another, one person opens a door, and then someone out there says, hey, so why can't mine ways work out. The snow-ball effect, or the "hey, you can't stop me, since you didn't stop them" Will anyone in a position to do so, draw the line? Who knows.
