/// At present, gays and lesbians are allowed to enter civil partnerships, which offer most of the legal protections of marriage. But the term ‘marriage’ is not used.///
In a time when more important matters should be on politicians minds, why is the term 'Marriage' that important to homosexuals, that politicians find the need to change the law, specially to accommodate them?
I have been to a gay marriage in a church and I didn't feel as uncomfortable as i thought i would..(couldn't wait get away though).The two "blokes arrived in a pony and trap, both has expensive Armani suit and even the pony had pink ribbons all over it's body. The service was just as boring as any marriage service, but the congregation was perhaps a little "different" in that at times i wasn't quite sure which gender that i was addressing.
Mrs sqad said that it was nice, tasteful and she enjoyed herself.
Doc.....just look at the contributors to this thread.......almost entirely women and to me that shows that straight men, on the whole, are less tolerant of homosexuality.
That is simply a matter of Statute Law and quite easily reversed/amended........Gay Marriage seems to be a much more emotive topic amongst people whom it simply won't affect.
