oh dear, the hand does not have any natuaral lubrication either - i hope you've never used it??

[douglas9401]

Decisively, but not universally. :-)

/// I can confirm they are most definitely Mrs & Mrs. ///

They are not eligible to appear on the MR & Mrs TV show then?

How's that for discrimination then?

dearie me, some of these views were ancient when Raquel Welch was still wearing a fur bikini and walking with dinosaurs

[mccfluff]

they are only not eligible in your strange world AOG

in the normal world, where it's a show about how well couples know each other, then all you need to qualify is to be a couple...

I have been told that a lot of suckers fall into the trap of becoming LGBTers.

As it will even though some may hold a different opinion on such matters.

You've hit the nail on the head, AOG....

The great strive for Equality is completely predicated on the fact that it is soooooo unfair that Mrs JtH and I will not be able to appear on a shoddy, second rate TV show.

jno....talking about dinosaurs, Prudie's post which have have pasted again, sums this whole topic up in a well balanced and written post:

"There's nothing like a thread on gay rights for smoking out AB's dinosaur population, is there?" - nor for name-calling, disrespect and disregard for the older generation who were brought up in a different era, some of you are bright young things, surely you understand why some find it difficult to go with the flow?"

I could name the "dinosaurs " but will resist the obvious players.

Still going on 248 answers and the best answer given to the one who supports the OP...no change there then.

[ummmm]

Who do you expect the best answer to go to?

I will pass on that one Jim, and I don't think there are many others amongst us who take such an interest as you apparently do.

[jim360]

It's called research, AOG. You might like to try it some time.

[emmie]

good for them, and not before time.

Are straights allowed to enter into a Civil Relationship?

[Sqad]

ummmm....read my post and just....just make a guess.

[jackthehat]

///Are straights allowed to enter into a Civil Relationship? ///

No.....BUT that is a fault of Government and nothing to do with 'us'.

If you would like to enter into a CP, I suggest you lobby Paliament for a change in the law.

Wow.

Rather partial to Irish Whiskey are you sp?

Myself I prefer Scotch Whisky.

/// what has marriage got to do with sex - between anyone ///

What should be asked is what has homosexuality to do with sex? 'Nothing' since sex is natures way for the continuation of the human race.

Something, married or not is just not possible between same sex couples.
