Thread Name: BS: On Same-Sex Marriages
Subject: RE: BS: On Same-Sex Marriages
Eeeeeh. I do like a good laugh. This thread has some belters.

I could not care less what people get up to in private. Public is a bit different and it does annoy me, just a little, when I see overtly sexual behaviour being accepted from the gay community while it is frowned upon when from the other camp (pun intended). Manchester council, in the same year that they approved the gay pride parade, including some floats featuring almost naked people simulating sexual acts (yes - before you ask I was there), also decided to oppose the license for a lap dancing club. Now, to be honest, I am not fond of either but the mindset that prohibits one while approving the other is a bit beyond me.

I suppose I will get tarred with the homophobe brush now. I couldn't realy give a fig about that either. I know I am not. This thread however is not about sexual behaviour, much as some people like to turn to that topic at the drop of a hat, it is about marriage. I really don't see the point of this particularly outdated institution for either hetro or homosexual couples. I married young. Am still married to the same person. Even if we did not have that bit of paper we would still be together. Why don't we campaign against all marriages instead of for gay marriage?

Last point - Remember the Leviticus thing? I looked up the link...

Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable

Surely that should read 'that is impossible'? Or do they just mean you should not lie with a man and then moan that the ceiling needs decorating? Or that you should not tell a bloke you were working late at the office whereas it is OK to say that to the mrs? These OT prophets are just like modern politicians aren't they - Meaningless bollocks.

Cheers
