Gay Marriage - The Vote

[BBassic]

Oh well, I hope all those that voted in favour are happy when their kids/grand kids get married to someone of their own sex, and they end up without grandchildren or great-grandchildren. Having said that, I am not sure too many are in straight relationships to have kids anyway.

Anyone who believes in equal rights for homosexuals must be homosexuals themselves?

If it was such a big deal how come no party put it in their manifesto at the last election ? Then the public could or might not have given that party a mandate

Back door politics isn't it! How apt

 

[Buzzer]

I say line, it's more of a daisy chain. You really don't want to see our coat of arms. Let's just say Lube Rampant with handcuffs diagonal.

Clearly no hetrosexual would be so in favour as half of this lot on here. Probably gay, or tried it and living a sham. lol

It's not democratic and at least it has backfired for Cameron

The gift of marriage brings husband and wife together
in the delight and tenderness of sexual union
and joyful commitment to the end of their lives.
It is given as the foundation of family life
in which children are [born and] nurtured
and in which each member of the family,in good times and in bad,
may find strength, companionship and comfort,
and grow to maturity in love.

So I guess this would have to be rewritten. Somebody will be busy.

Being as my brother and his wife got married in a registry office and have and intend to have no children. I suppose it should have been rewritten a long time ago.

I think you may have be labouring under a misapprehension here.

Should this be passed into law, it doesn't actually make it compulsory to enter into a homosexual relationship or marriage.

I think that's what PP is ultimately worried about

No, but it goes a long way to suggesting it is an acceptable alternative to normal life.

That was kinda my point. To me personally there is a difference to someone saying "I'm going to meet my husband/wife at the shops" to "I'm going to meet my partner at the shops". If as you say it's about equality and they were that hell bent on ensuring they got it you'd assume they'd say the former?

And they may well do in most cases. But it doesn't change the fact that society and the law views it as something other than a marriage (until now). We live in a label obsessed society, the distinction between "civil partnership" and "marriage" is therefore important to a lot of people and I can see no reason to maintain it.

But they will have grandkids( not natural one's granted) because you just know, next on the list will be adoption or a list a surrogate slapper's looking to earn a few quid, by impregnating themselves....I see Elton and David have just had a second child...Isn't it lovely.

I'm heterosexual and I fully believe in equal rights for homosexuals. So do my heterosexual parents.

To be honest? No, it is sick!

I'm in a straight relationship and as long as my kids are happy what the f*** do I care?

Oh....my....god. There are simply no words left.

Any chance you could define 'normal' for us?

 

[Frutos]

No, but it goes a long way to suggesting it is an acceptable alternative to normal life.

Normal is entirely subjective.

Of course it's going to be a one sided debate. It's like turkeys voting for Christmas. Post this debate on any northern teams forum and the results will be the opposite to this one. Or are they all just ignorant thick northerners?

It's already legal in Scotland. Is that northern enough?
