Achmelvich, I neither approve nor disapprove of homosexuals...I feel rather sorry for them in the way that they are abused by the "liberal" activists and in the way they must live their lives without the pain and joy of procreation and upbringing of their natural children. Homosexuality is a fact, to approve or disapprove of their choice of sexual partner would be ludicrous, like being "against homosexuality"...ludicrous. That does not equate to wishing homosexuality to be brought into the mainstream.
I know three homosexual couples and none of them have an desire to "marry", they are different and proud of their difference.
Homosexual "marriage" is a device to divide and distract from all the real inequalities which are so obvious to socialists....it is a smokescreen, a non issue, which has been built into a monolith by a greedy, immoral media and self serving politicians.

All the human rights are available through Civil Union...in fact in the UK at this juncture, homos have more "rights" that heteros. :0)
A real socialist looks to strengthening the whole community both economically and socially, not through personal rights....Homosexual "marriage" does nothing to strengthen society, it devalues marriage in the eyes of many and is used by "liberal" activists to attack and if possible abolish the Church, to them, a bastion of conservatism.
I myself am an atheist but I understand the strength many of my neighbours derive from a belief in their "god".

Despite the opposition on this forum, the health figures are stark and incontrovertible.
Which other demographic is "advised" to be tested every three months? None. If infection rates continue on their present course, what is to be done?
In London in 2011, 1 in 11 MSM carried the virus, in 2013, it was 1 in 8.
In some American cities it is 1 in 5......is this type of sexual relationship "just the same as a heterosexual one"......I don't think so
