Originally posted by centurian View PostA good point there - most of those against say that "marriage" is a religious concept, so "they" should have domain over who/how it should be used, not governments.
I don't see it as a big deal. It's the kind of thing that'll keep hitting the headlines, but once it's legalised, as seems inevitable, will quickly be forgotten about and in 5 years time people will be scratching their heads wondering why it was ever an issue.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Originally posted by VectraMan View PostI suppose it comes down to the meaning of the word, as much as anything. Surely the point of civil partnerships was to give all the same rights as marriage to homosexual couples, so nobody is being discriminated against. It's just a question of whether or not you use the "M" word - which clearly means a lot to those affected.

If you are against it in any way, then you are no better than someone who was against interracial marriages years ago, when most enlightened people could clearly see it was racist. The religious, as usual, are the ones holding society back.Comment

To tar the entire religious or faith community with the same brush is a bit short sighted.Bazza gets caught

Bored with this whole gay marriage thing.
Are my natural party, the Tories, really so stupid as a whole that they'll break up the party for this "principle" that marriage should be between men and women only?
WGAS what people want to do in the bedroom or what pieces of paper or certificates they want.
