Fed Up With Tv Soaps And Gay Story Situations.

Why do I not feel guilty for my opinion that same sex marriage is an abomination.

Must be my age and intolerance.

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.

kahdro, since 1978 the law has changed, so your definition is out of date

[roadman]

The romans always used to commit homosexual acts and no one cared it didnt make em less of a man or change their social status

I wonder what changed to make people so uncomfortable probably their own insecurities

[AuntPollyGrey]

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

[SparklyKid]

I am totally with JTH. " I prefer women"

[roadman]

its ok you dont need to hide here we are here for you dont worry about it its totally fine and natural

[SparklyKid]

roadman, you are weird.

[roadman]

ayyooo at least am not a homophobee

[SparklyKid]

Goodness knows what you are, I can guess though.

[AuntPollyGrey]

I smell Peace Lilies.....again :-/

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)

[roadman]

I kiss the homies goodnight and that aint even gay just being a good friend

[Khandro]

Roadman: I haven't said a word on the subject of homo-sexual acts.

Bednobs: //since 1978 the law has changed, so your definition is out of date//

It's not about law, changed or unchanged; it's about my VIEW.

[Mamyalynne]

No need to shout.

[choux]

I took that as emphasis rather than shouting by Khandro.

[sunny-dave]

Just to correct Aunt Polly - heterosexual couples do now have the option of a Civil Partnership - I have family members who have done just that.

The law changed in 2019 - I am surprised that you didn't know.

[bednobs]

you are basing your VIEW on the 70s? why not the 1870's or the 1770s?

Thank goodness I'm a tolerant oldie...as opposed to the other kind.
