Thread Name: BS: 'Gay marriage' question
Subject: RE: BS: 'Gay marriage' question
Marriage is available to all as it is currently defined

Let me expand this into its full meaning: "Marriage is available to all as it is currently defined, including to homosexuals as long as they deny their natural sexuality and find a partner of the opposite sex to marry."

Nice one, Keith. The very definition of homophobia, neatly done in such a short sentence.

Parliament should decide after giving a proper hearing to all dissenting views.
That is how these things should be done.
Why are you all against letting other people have they say.


You are being a bit vague here, Keith. What "other people" do you mean? For gay marriage to become legal, legislation will be required. The three main parties all support gay marriage. Tough, eh? That's democracy for ya! They will have to debate it in parliament and pass a law. And in just about every poll in the last ten years, there has been a majority in the country for gay marriage (look it up on wiki, why don't you). We elect our MPs to act legislatively on our behalf. If you don't like your MP's stance on gay marriage, then vote against him next time (actually,you'll be all right with your bloke, eh, Keith, a nice Tory backwoodsman!). Are you asking that priests and bishops should have a lot more say or something? What exactly are you asking? For gay marriage to be a special legislative case? Wanna referendum??? (you'd lose!)
