Where is even getting this information from? I mean, other than his ass.
There are serious issues at the heart of the debate, not least the fact that marriage is not merely a legal and moral commitment of individuals to each other, but also to any children they may produce.Naturally this asks a lot of questions of gay relationships- or indeed hetero but infertile relationships
Wow. Just wow. So only MARRIED people have children. And marriage is only for making Teh Baybeez. And infertile people should feel inadequate because they can't produce children.
the religious have a point of view which is sincerely held: stay faithfully together if at all possible, no matter what- even if, perhaps, the majority disagree with it.
Yeah isn't it funny that most of the longest lasting couples I know are gay. I've seen far more straight relationships fail.
To attack the religious because they disagree with you - particularly to dismiss their positions as mere bigotry- is unfair, and may be dangerous.
AHAHAHAHA. This is just like the time someone I know got offended by the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I laughed then too.
For myself, having been friends for years with a couple that were amongst the very first to register a civil partnership, which I found very difficult to distinguish from a wedding, I do not oppose gay marriage
"HEY, I HAVE GAY FRIENDS SO I'M ALLOWED TO SAY THIS"
Forcing churches against their will to offer gay marriages is in any event- I believe- deeply illiberal. The tyranny of the majority over a minority is still tyranny.
Because the church has never forced anyone to do anything against their will and gotten away with it...OH WAIT
By all means ensure legal equality for gay and straight relationships, but also accept that there are inevitable differences among all relationships and that these should be respected.
Oh, the irony. I'm so sick of this bullshit, and I'm THROUGH being polite to people who say stupid things. Hell, I was over it years ago.

What a bunch of navel-gazing, hand-wringing CRAP.
