Thread Name: BS: 'Gay marriage' question
Subject: RE: BS: 'Gay marriage' question
John, I will try to explain again.
I do not care what any consenting adults do.
I have no issue with same sex marriage, but I respect the views of those many people who do, except those who just object to anything concerning gays out of prejudice.

For millennia marriage has been between male and female.
I know that many people, for deeply held personal convictions think it should continue to be.
They mostly believe that gays should be able to marry but call it something else.

In this country John, we have never had an issue with inter racial marriage and it has existed here for centuries.

Let the move to full same sex marriage follow its course by why must the normal democratic processes be stealmrollered flat to suit the self serving whims of a few politicians?

After thousands of years, waiting until the next Parliament and due process seems the most reasonable way to proceed.
