right now i have time to repost, i just hope it doesn't go missing again, i never realised how annoying it is.

ake, i did not mean to insult you or block the arguement but i have known a number of people who have protsted too much.

i don't see how the lifestyles are so differnt. you SEEM to be saying that men are incapable of having the same emotional depth in a relationship as women, the men can be just as insecure and emotional as us, and just as broody. have you never known a straight couple where the man has desperately wanted a child and the woman doesn't? btw, the only things i get broody over are very small puppies lol

i am with you on that herion addicts should not have sole custody of children, purely on the basis that an overdose is so easy, i have witnessed first hand just how easy.   however i don't see how you can compare that to a loving couple who would give up anything for the sake of that child.

gay women(i hate the word lesbian, just my opinion)also get alot of hassle in the street maybe not quite so forceful but it is there, so it is nice to be around and support those who get the same and understand how it feels. maybe another reason that women in general feel so comfortable around gay men, is that they don't expect anything from them, we can feel safe around them, we can act and do as we please without thinking is he going to come on to me or what does he expect.

as for the HIV/AIDS thing, not everyone who has been infected gave consent, this happens to both men and women, you would be suprised at how many men.

but back to the issue of marriage. if there was a gay couple living next door to you and they decided to get married, how and why would this affect your' marriage, family or life living next door?

maybe i am just too broad minded but i still can't see why this is not a simple matter.

i d not object to biligamy(?) if everyone agrees then why not?

if i may say so you do seem to be sofening in your' thoughts on this AKE, i hope that you are anyway. we have to remember that this issue isn't just politics this is peoples lives and hearts and where emotions are concerned everyone has the right to be happy and has the right to love and be loved.

AKE, please be careful what you say to people, i do not agree with you on this, but i don't want you to get assulted because you said something to the wrong person.

take care all
