intolerant and bigoted people like ake and Keith and Goofo who would like to limit anyone's freedom of choice as to how they should manage their private lives.

Do you think it makes your posts fresh and incisive when you call people names Steve.
In fact it is just repetitive and boring.
A homophobe would care not a jot how gay folk manage their private lives.

All here have given reasoned arguments against changing the concept of marriage, except me whose only concern is the speed and lack of consultation on pushing through a Tory whim.

If you do not challenge those reasoned arguments your posts are just pointless.
Just asserting a motive for the posts, which all concerned deny, is also pointless and boring.
