F**k me, Yoda is a sockiemaster

Tis strange you never see Zoco and Gittins Gal at the same time....

I find it stranger they have similar view points..................

I don't think it's him. This one's a descendent of Pacharan, as shown in his profile pic.

Zoco has already shown himself to be a Village Idiot contender on other threads.
He's either a sockie troll or a very stupid real poster - either way just ignore him

Hate begets hate.

We must be compassionate and fill their lives with positivity and light.

well said gal

From Sandy Toksvig

"To me the sin of Sodom is the way that gay people have been, and continue to be, persecuted in the name of religion. The real crime – shunning those who are strange to you – has been repeated every day to gay people across the world.

Let's not forget the end of the story. The story centres on Lot, who has a very bad day in which his town is destroyed and his wife Sarah is turned into a pillar of salt. He must have felt terrible. He heads to the hills with his daughters where he gets drunk (understandable) and then has sex with his girls (less commendable). More fire and brimstone for this despicable sexual act? No. Honestly, not so much as a rumble of thunder. As a lesson in who you should or shouldn't be poking about with, I feel it lacks a little something.

I am not anti-religion. I just think we need to consider how much understanding of the great texts is about interpretation. Let's not forget, for example, how often the Bible was used to condone slavery. I believe the core of all religion is love. That if you believe in a supreme being, then there is an absolute divine command at the heart of that belief to live a life of love."

From midnight tonight, gay couples can marry.

Apparently 1 in 5 Britons would turn down an invitation to a gay wedding if they got one

BBC News - Gay weddings: 'Fifth of Britons would turn down invitation'

I'm speculating that most of those would be unlikely to be invited in the first place.

Would you go to a gay wedding?

One would assume that these are the people with no gay friends. Hence, no reason to go to a gay wedding. Just saying, like...
