Gay marriage

[NotAllThere]

back to the purpose of this thread. While this can't be used as an accurate sample, there are more against gay marriage than there are for. Those who are indifferent are the rest.....

It's interesting that one third are against. They can't all be religious bigots, so what are their reasons?

Totally agree. I've always been a supporter of disestablishmentarianism.

Are you sure you didn't just want to win the CUK 'big word of the day' prize?

Does that suggest there are a few people who can only form meaningful relationships with their sockies?

Non-religious bigots.

Well there is the argument that there are better things to be debating at the moment and possibly the thinking that this topic is so emotive either way it is going to damage the Tory vote at the next election. Could be people using this as an excuse to stick the knife in regardless of what is being tabled as well. I don't think it is just people that don't think gay people should marry. We also still have a 3 or 4 generations of people that are not used to openly gay people/issues that could vote no because they haven't come round to the idea. Don't have to be a religious bigot to not understand. You could be old as well.

Lack of education, low IQ, learning difficulty, mental health issues, retarded... the list goes on.

Now there is a question and a half!!!!!!!

I'm against it. Marriage is between a man and a woman, you can call it what you like but if it's anything else it's just not marriage. For me it's not about the Gay issue, it's about the whole 1984ish thing of changing the meaning of words. I thought we'd left all that behind when Blair got booted.

Why resort to that kind of assumption?

Because they disagree with you?
