Amos.. I am against homosexual "marriage" on health grounds, I think bringing homosexuality into mainstream society stupid, dangerous and not in the interests of homosexuals, as exceptance of the lifestyle would mean that proper medical inquiry into the link with aids would be almost impossible to set up. That is why the Los Angeles homosexuals want aids redesignated as a "homosexual disease".....to facilitate such an inquiry.

As you know, I am an atheist, but that does not prevent me from understanding the concerns of ordinary Christian people, who see homosexual "marriage" as a redefinition of something very important to them. I understand the feelings of these people although I am not one of them, they must feel that the "liberal"/homosexual agenda is bulldozing thousands of years of tradition and Christian belief, leaving them no voice to stop it.    If they do object, they are jumped on and abused as can be seen in this thread,by people who as Little Hawk says are the most illiberal on earth.

I of course dont include you in that description Amos, as even when the debate was at it's height, you remained civil and attempted to address the points raised.

In conclusion the answer to the hypothetical question is not yes/yes, but yes/maybe...and what the fuck diffence does it make to the debate.
I could be a homosexual and hold the stance which I do now.....that would be quite vadid taking into account the reasons I have given...Ake
