No one said you are wrong, however, you are.
I'd love you to explain why you think that gay people should not have the same rights as straight people.
I must be old fashioned as well and agree with you.The equalities Minister said 'let the people decide';well,I can't recall a huge groundswell of public opinion asking for gay marriage...........not even amongst many of the gays themselves.

Mate, I just believe it is different when it comes to marriage.
I have ABSOLUTELY nothing against the gays. NOTHING.
Call me traditional, but marriage is just different to me.
Hmmm , can straight people have a Civil Partnership?I may be wrong,but I don't think so!
If they can't, then they absolutely should be able to. Equality works both ways.
In any case, civil partnerships were conceived by cowardly politicians who wanted to have their cake and eat it by trying to appease the gay electorate while still appealing to the Daily Mail crowd.

why do straight people 'need' a marriage?
anyway, why are we cloaking the debate in this marriage bullshit? it's about equality...in all areas and aspects of life.
You have nothing against "the gays", but you think its acceptable that, in the 21st century, gay people do not have the same rights as straight people?

Equality means not putting ANYTHING in the 'besides' column.
And therein lies the problem - the church and religious people believe not only in some Sky Fairy but also that they OWN the right to marriage. The change in law won't force those houses of kiddy fiddling sin marry people of the same gender. It will only make it legal for gay people to be equal and, if they wish, to have a civil marriage. Quite why religious bigots feel the need to force their beliefs on everyone else is beyond me. How EXACTLY will two men or two women getting married in a registrar office effect YOU precisely ?

Unfortunately in this world, equality doesn't really exist.
Surely you mean 'fortunately', because if it did then gay people would be allowed to get married?
Care to explain what effect two people of the same gender marrying will have on you ?

You are wrong because you are wrong. Adding "it's my opinion" to any braindead statement you mash into your keyboard doesn't make it irrefutable or unquestionable. If you refuse to have your opinion contested, keep it in your head.
You said "Man + Woman = Marriage". Clearly that's wrong. If you're not deaf you'll have heard people talking about marrying things together in contexts other than this, and that's a perfectly correct use of the language. So the semantic argument which you make in opposition to equality is wrong.
