But yeah, kudos..it's a so taking hold here. Never should have even been an affair of the state from the get go. Sarcastic Dots: This was always going to pass. It's stupid it took so long for this to pass when public support (or indifference) was overwhelmingly in gay marriages favour. Highlight of the debate was a DUP* MP saying "God created Adam and Steve, not Adam and Eve...oh wait!!" *Staunchly anti-gay (they used to/might still have a "Save Ulster from Sodomy campaign) Fruitbat1919: The government in the UK feck over married couples unless they are wealthy, so not sure gay couples should be celebrating xox G xox: Downward spiral of society letting Gays marry .....whats next relations between species become acceptable. xox G xox: Thought id try a different point of view, im always pro everything ....takes a walk on the dark side xox G xox: I think i read that somewhere Bat and can you marry a cow in India or was it Malaysia or hang on could have been Africa ......I know i read it somewhere that it was somewhere.

Looking at Geoffs other threads its not clear what he has in mind with this one. Cameron is also against Hetro marriages and refues to replace the 'married mans living allowence, thats the tax break for married couples in case you Americans don't know. Seems Cameron can see how Gays live together but can't see how anyone else does or did. duncan124: ASSOCIATION ANALYSIS OF TWO PEOPLE, NOT WOMEN AND A MAN yesterday in the British House of Commons was scheduled vote on the bill amending the definition of marriage.Homosexuals have the right to conclude Islands partnerships and adopt children. According to the proponents of the legalization of marriages between people of the same sex is not sufficient.Gabriel Kayzer The main purpose of the Act is to redefine the institution of marriage and the family. The proposed changes raise concern about Catholic priests, who fear that the result of their speaking out on homosexuality will be united with the allegations of sexual discrimination.According to them, the followers of Christian values will be pushed to the margins of society, and discrimination of Christians in the UK will take the momentum. Also, the spiritual head of the Church of England Justin Welby, in a short time with the archbishopric of Canterbury covered, expressed its opposition to any traditional definition of marriage. term marriage, which is considered far as the relationship of man and woman is to be amended so as to include homosexual couples. The new legal definition is to have impact on the cultural and social interpretation. Opponents of "gay marriage" believe that even using the term in public discourse legitimizes the proposed changes and makes the traditionally conceived marriage is a losing battle. In their view, the promotion of deviance by newspeak is to change the mentality of the people, and consequently lead to the collapse of Western civilization. They also claim that even if the legal definition of marriage is changed, then on the basis of social and cultural, religious and above all remain unchanged. Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron, who suggested changes in this regard is highly fragmented. The law, however, can be adopted Labour and Liberal votes. Part of Cameron's Conservatives sent the petition, which postulated that the vote because they believe the law was not properly prepared, and most importantly, its adoption may reduce the Tories trading. The petition, however, was not taken into account.

Metaverseguy: Everyone who lives in the UK who has voting rights and/or judicial rights or any type of power to influence law and politics, including people who don't even speak English and can't understand him flapping his lips around. Geoff: I'm sorry, but I really don't see the controversy. Gay people have every right to be as miserable as everyone else. Geoff: "In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing." - Mark Twain Aura: I'm not gay, so I really don't care if they marry or not. But if they want to they should be able to. | Off Topic Chat Room Similar Conversations |
