I can tell you, factually and unquestionably the repercussions of gay marriage,............. lots of people sharing a fulfilling and wholesome experience of a shared life, companionship and love. And that, to any reasonable human being, isn't a repercussion, it's a cause for celebration.

In times of personal sadness and disenchantment, you can rejoice in other peoples happiness. Or at least, you should!

Personally I don't care at all about whether gay marriage is legal or not. Its a completely trivial issue.

However I dispute your comment regarding the repercussions of gay marriage. Are you suggesting that only marriage allows people to share a fulfilling and wholesome experience of a shared life, companionship and love? Personally I currently enjoy all those things without needing a piece of paper authorised by some state bureaucrat.

So, it's an irrelevance. God is flooding the country for absolutely no reason. What a twwat.

He does it because he invented water without thinking it through properly and now he's made too much of it, a bit like when you tip too much popcorn in the microwave and then you can't stop it.

not at all, but it means something to people who want to do it, and that is the point, personal choice, an individuals (or a pair of individuals) decision to have some form of certificate.

I have no problem if a group of 4 men want to marry 8 women and have a relay race (for want of a better form of words), if something works between willing participants it's entirely their choice.

I suppose you are an anarchist too?

Stable society is not about people doing what they want it. It requires norms and constraints on behaviour.

I'm not yet convinced that the antics of a small percentage of the population are the reason for these increasingly wet winters, but when the PC brigade waste much needed funds on this sort of trivia, I do wonder if there is some pink tinged 5th columnists at work. Questions need to be asked when the South dries out!

So they've wasted quarter of a million on private venues but we'll focus on the 639 on some gay mugs cause we hate the gays.

Yet more evidence of what a disgraceful piece of sh|t the Daily Mail is.

But I don't quite understand why the Environment Agency needs to advertise itself.
That, coupled with unnecessarily expensive meeting rooms hired seems like a huge waste of money.
