Why do I not feel guilty for my opinion that same sex marriage is an abomination.
Must be my age and intolerance.

Sparklykid, I think we just have to face the fact, however unpalatable some may find it, the TV has to reflect the world as it is today. Unfortunatel y, because soaps need to be inclusive, I think there is a disproportio nate amount of LGBT's, same sex marriages etc. As well as that there seems to be a disproportio nate amount of criminality and death by accident...

People have been getting married/partnered for Millenia....certainly since long before a small Middle eastern weather-god and his attendants got in on the act.
Sadly, it was also, historically, more to preserve wealth/property rights than a declaration of love....
Thank the Lord (!) that we now live in more enlightened times.

JTH as a matter of interest you, as a member of the LGBT community, may be able to shed light on what is the difference, from a gay persons point of view, between being 'married' to your partner or having a 'civil partnership?
There is nothing legal to be gained, and 'Straight ' people do not have the choice of a civil partnership

Taking your second point first; the inability of heterosexual couples to be Civil-Partnered is nothing to do with the LGBT+ groups and all to do with the Govt. I suggest those heterosexual couples wishing to get CP'd lobby Parliament for as long and hard as we did...
Have you ever been to a Solicitors to sign something 'legal'....a will....a house-purchase contract, etc. ? Now imagine doing it in a posh-frock/suit with flowers, guests, some specially chosen music and a small speech to mark the occasion....
That's the reality of a Civil-Partnership. You are simply signing a legally-enforcible Contract (literally, it's a longish paper document).
We wanted the 'romance' of a wedding.....the exchange of vows.....our friends and family to witness this import 'rite'. And we got it. :o)
