Steve.....dont be so touchy, I thought you were older. your spelling is excellent....much better than mine.

Anyway of course there were pressure groups.....this is a very divisive issue......but most people of faith would have voted no anyway?
Most social conservatives in this area did not even know how to respond to the consultation document.....whereas all the rights groups were represented.

So funnily enough with real equality, the no's would have won by an even bigger majority.
But as you know equality is only desirable if it represent your point of view?
