/// I've asked you this before, and didn't get an answer - why do you feel that marriage equality is unimportant? ///
/// Are you saying it is unimportant to you, because you don't have gay relatives, or are you saying that it in itself is not important generally? ///
You have asked me this numerous times and I have answered it the same numerous times, but let's have another go.
It may seem rather strange to you, but as a heterosexual, and not having any close personal ties with homosexuals, homosexual issues have little or no interest for me.
Regarding the issue of marriage equality, then yes to me it is unimportant, just as it is to some gays it seems, but just because some people find the subject one big yawn doesn't necessitate those in favour of gay marriages calling those with opposite views names such as 'Bigot', 'Homophobic' etc.
I am intelligent enough to realise that homosexuality is something one is born with, and although I find the act of copulating with a member of the same sex rather distasteful, I would not wish to see homosexuals discriminated against or victimised in any way, just because of their sexuality.
But I just cannot see why it is so important for them to want to high jack the committed union between a man and woman, that being the right to be married, after all civil partnerships fulfil all the legal issues between homosexual couples, and there is also no law which prevents them from considering themselves 'Married' if they so wish.
