Welcome to the Global Right Alliance's forums!

Firstly, you can only see a very limited amount of the forums at the moment. You will be able to see the full forums and properly participate in our region and its community when you register.

Join our Community


Now, on to the region itself. Don't let the name, specifically the "Right", fool you. We've got members from across the political spectrum, and our political parties have always reflected this. The Global Right Alliance (GRA), as primarily a gameplay region, has been everything from an anarchy to a monarchy to a homegrown rotatorship. The region has had such governments because of its culture, which adores political intrigue and thrives on confrontation. With the increase of the region's population, many veterans have returned. It is the beginning of a new Global Right Alliance and a new government system.

I know the forums can be quite intimidating; there's people who have been here for nearly a decade and have over 10,000 posts. However, we welcome new members and encourage them to get involved. If you want help finding your way around, we have resources to help you to get on your way.

I too think it is about time. I don't understand what the big deal is. And believe it is a violation of Church and State for the government to have any say in marriages at all.

Well that is kind of stupid. I 100% behind gays getting equal rights and everything. But why force presits to marry you in a church that belives being gay is a sin?If you ask me. Their should be civil unions that are just like marrying in a church. With all the games and dances and suft. But their no presist and notin gto say about god. This should be defualt for everybody. If they want to get marry the tradional way then they can set it up themself. Like Spinash marrying or Indians mirrage. And yes this makes no sense. It a idea and Iw as wondering if anybody could help improv eon it as if you rid it down i laugh and give you a candy in recgionze that you can do what a PI can do.

A marriage is between a man and a woman, not a man and a man or a man and his horse. What is the world coming to?

I recognize that this is a sensitive moral issue for many of you. However, I think a historical reading suggests that the expansion of personal liberties in this direction will be more or less inexorable over time.

I certainly see room for moral debate on an issue like abortion. I am a church-going man myself, and obviously have strongly held moral positions to which I subscribe. With regard to gay marriage and gay rights more generally, however, I do not think the religious or moral objections of the majority should be sufficient to curtail the rights of a sizable minority, particularly when the exercise of those rights is almost exclusively a private matter not impacting others. I think this is precisely the reason America's Founding Fathers intended the state to be kept beyond the purview or grasp of religious authority, though regrettably, the power of the religious vote does not always make this practical for today's elected officials.

On a related note, I invite anyone who is interested to take a look at urban development plans for any major city (the only one with which I am really familiar in this regard is Wilmington, DE). A number of cities are attempting actively to induce homosexual populations to move in, since they represent, in the aggregate, a higher-than-average tax base, a higher-than-average stimulus on local businesses, and a far lower drain on social services (mainly schools). It's really remarkable social planning, and enough to make you wonder when some municipal authorities will have to decide between what may be economically smart and what conservative moral positions demand.

I don't care, each to their own.

If they are forcing churches to allow them to get married in churches then that is wrong.

Otherise what they do is none of my buisness.

What are they trying to do? Paint houses pink? Produce gay-friendly products? No thanks.

So little imagination, Verusea? I don't think municipalities produce many products themselves, and I don't think the gay population is as stereotypically homogeneous as your "pink houses" comment suggests.

I'm not terribly familiar with the strategies involved, but I think it's more like showcasing vibrant urban communities with restaurants, shopping venues, museums, theaters, artistic institutions, etc., which homosexual populations tend to patronize more often than others (or so municipal research seems to suggest), and which help to stimulate urban development.
