Thread Name: BS: 'Gay marriage' question
Subject: RE: BS: 'Gay marriage' question
pretend they didn't know what equality meant when they voted through a bill ensuring it!

Do not be silly Musket.
Parliamentary legislation is precisely defined and unambiguous.
There must be no room for misunderstanding.
There was never any question of it ever being intended to even consider changing the rules on marriage.

If there is a will to have the rules changed, that is fine but why the unprecedented, undemocratic rush?
The institution of marriage has existed for millennia.
We could wait a few more weeks until everyone was clear on what was intended and what would be the consequences.

Be liberal and tolerant enough to accept that some people think the rules of marriage should remain as they are, and not for reasons of homophobia as you claim.
That would make a large proportion of the population, if not a magority homophobic.
What about the rights of those who wish for equality for polygamous marriage.
Do you support polygamy equality, or are you a polygamaphobe?
Incestophobe?
Child marriagophobe?
Bestialophobe?
