What about sex change couples ? Not had your op yet....? Then nope can't get "married" yet.... Wait for it......hey you now have your new penis or Vagina. Go for it....

A secular state ( thank god hee hee ) should have no right to stop two consenting adults enjoying the same rights as two other consenting adults. Shame if it does.

rlAlready is in some culturesrl

And remember, these people share the same "god"

There's a strange anomaly that already exists in Civil Partnership law. If a same-sex couple enter into a civil partnership and one of them then transitions, the partnership is automatically anulled. Perversely, a similar situation doesn't occur if one partner of a male/female marriage undergoes gender reassignment

All a bit of a farce then.

Love this forum. I learn more here than I ever did at school. Lol

What a beautiful story of free love and sexual tolerance

What's wrong with a bit of goat's cock every now and again?

Nothing, as long as I can get some chips to go with it.

There's a problem with my PC - it seems to be displaying homophobic, bigoted posts from the 1940's.

I knew I shouldn't have installed that Windows (Self Righteous Service Pack)

Steady on folks, this guy could be the next President of the USA.

Marriage was probably put together so that men wouldn’t kill each other over woman. Laws were put together so that men wouldn’t kill each other over a whole host of trivial stuff. Have a disagreement with someone back in the day then it was duel till death.

Didn't ask for grief guys, or a debate, I just wanted to promote a campaign which is close to my heart.

Oh the response to this topic is such a surprise and not to be expected on a RL forum

Knew full well what you were doing putting it on here.

You wanted to promote your cause on a public forum but don't want to debate it's merits. Well, as you chose a public forum here's my twopenneth whether you want it or not.

I was raised in an environment that gets a lot of blame for the ills of society, particularly from the previous Tory government and the present coalition government.

I was raised by a single mother, on benefits and we lived on a council estate. We lived with my grandmother and there wasn't a father or a marriage in sight. However, I was raised with greater displine and values than many or most of my peers who were raised within marriage and have less issues than those raised within marriage that led to divorce. I have become a full pledged tax paying member of society with no criminal record and have worked since leaving school as well as furthering my educatiopn on a part time basis.

I have a child out of wedlock that I have helped raise with my ex and I think he's turning out OK as he heads off to university. I am also now married and my wife and I are raising a daughter.

The same "morals", values and guidance have been prevelant in all of the above relationships within and without marriage so I think you and your campaign are completely missing the point. Marriage or no marriage is not the issue and I am sure the same values displayed by my mother, grandmother, ex, wife and hopefully me can be passed on to children by parents whether they be married, un-married, same sex or different creeds.

Your cause is no cause at all.

It's a non argument. Looking at it with my Mr Spock head on I see logic flaws on every side.

1. Why do same sex couples need to have their legally recognised partnership called a "marriage"? It's just a word, if they are together, they love each other, and they already have equivalent legal status it seems an irrelevence. Why don't they just call themselves married and f*** everyone who complains?

And.......

2. Why do those that protest actually protest? Marriage is just a word. I'm married and I don't spend my maried life worrying over who else is declared married. Frankly, if you could marry pets and call them "married" I wouldn't give a monkey's. What negative effect does it have on married people? None that I can see.
