  • .......is a social construction. An excuse to tax and cut support for the low wage earners. So is marraige fair to every one?!

    I was married to a bloke many years ago....his stance was a piece of paper won't change anything. As soon as we were married he acted like he owned me and was a nasty piece of work. Oh and have been happily in a civil partnership for a few years. (the being gay was not a result of the horrible ex-hubbie either!!) :D

    Gay marriage IS allowed.

    I dont get the point of the poll therefore. Should it be allowed is a moot point - it already is!

    It is NOT legaly allowed with any religious element.

    Hence why they call it a Civil Partnership.

    My sister got married in a ceremony with no religious element. So it would be perfectly reasonable for a gay couple to do the same.

    In fact, there's no reason at all why a gay couple couldn't get married and have a religious element to their ceremony. I can't see why there would be a problem (unless they chose a bigoted religion with teachings that contradict the couple's lifestyle).

    NO, I do not agree gay marrige should be made legal as it is in my view and other an act between a man and women.

    So, tell me, what harm would it do to you, what difference would it make to your life, and most importantly what do you think gives one set of human beings have control over how another set choose to live their lives.

    Of course it should. Being Gay is natural. I always think that homosexuality is Gods (or Mother Natures) form of birth control. If everyone on the planet was Hetrosexual then all the planets resources would have been ravaged years ago the planet would be an utter wasteland. Everyone breeding and having loads of children. Two people of the same sex cannot produce children and this is natures or Gods way of controlling the population. That is not saying that they gay people do not make excellent parents.

    Anyone who thinks that homosexuality is weird, strange or not natural is backwards.

    I'm not sure I'd agree with that - nature doesn't know how close we are to "ravaging the planet's resources". As far as nature is concerned we are just vessels that produce sperm and eggs to pass on our DNA. If nature "wanted" to control the birth rate it could simply reduce the fertility rate. And it doesn't sound plausible that (an Abrahamic) God would create gay people to limit growth, but also tell us that "a man shall not lay with another man". But then the Bible is chock full of contradictions and errors, so what do I know!
