What's wrong with not liking so called "gay" marriage? What's so evil about that?

Wanting to restrict the rights and freedoms of others based solely on your own bigoted views of what they should and shouldn't be getting up to? No, can't see a problem there.

I cannot believe what I am reading, you all seem to think that the disgusting practices that these people get up to should be condoned and not only that but should be allowed to sully the sanctity of marriage. Marriage is ordained for a man and a woman not for a man and a man or a woman and a woman. I was not in favour of "gay" partnerships being legalised never mind marriage. Where will all this end? You'll all be sorry when your children are converted to homosexuality.

It took me three looks at your username before I realised what was going on.

Tell us more about these disgusting practices. You appear to know a fair bit.

Nothing really. Everyone is entitled to their prejudices. What's wrong is trying to introduce legislation to prevent other people engaging in an activity that causes no harm to them or to any of the participants, solely because it offends those prejudices.

No one was suggesting banning homosexual activity. Just the question of "gay marriage" when marriage has been around a very, very long time and has a specific context - child-rearing.

Since when has marriage been about child rearing?

I'm married and me and my wife never want children, so now what?

Hang on - that article says that the 'Tories' are trying to LEGALISE gay marriage, and a small faction are standing in the way of it.

Actually not. It says that the Coalition are trying to legalise gay marriage and that a reasonable number of Tory MPs are trying to stop it. The thread title is entirely accurate.
