Subject: RE: BS: 'Gay marriage' question
Shock horror!

MPs pretend they didn't know what equality meant when they voted through a bill ensuring it!

Read all about it!!

Akenaton. I find you offensive. Luckily, I don't extend that to all Scots.




Sorry for the gap, I was genuinely trying to think of a Gay person who I find offensive. I am sure there are some. But when you go through life having to endure the prejudice of others, I suppose you are not so quick to judge others. Hence a bit difficult to find any.

Of course, there are plenty. Most of all the hypocritical people who decried a Gay lifestyle whilst having one themselves in private. The likes of Peter Tatchell do a good job pointing out their unsustainable position.

His work is becoming less though as society is coming to terms with itself. At one time, "No blacks, No dogs, No Irish" was seen on pub doors. Now, society would be outraged by it. The same with ignorant low life who see Gay people as different, something to fear, something to hate.

About those who don't want Gay marriage. I am glad they have registered their view. Even if they were 51% of the voting population, (which they aren't) it would make no difference. Equality is equality is equality, and since when did a modern Western democracy say that a majority can hold a minority in contempt and make laws restricting them? Our politicians may have their problems and may not be of the calibre we expect in some ways, but they are not so thick as to exclude non popular necessities. if you did a poll, there would be no overseas aid, no independence of newspapers, no multi nationals, no banks, and eventually no country to live in. Politicians are there for us to trust their judgement not tell them how to vote. Government by referendum cannot work whilst ignorant twats are allowed to put a tick in a box. As ignorant twats are also part of society, we need a safety lever. We call it Parliamentary democracy.

Fuck off to Zimbabwe, the pair of you. You will be less confused and possibly happier there. Less chance of me pointing to you in the street and telling my Grandchildren that's what a bigot looks like. Take a good look as soon, they will be hopefully no more than a footnote in history books.
