Britain Unveils Gay Marriage Plan

[Theophylact]

Just because Tony Blair is willing to support invading Iraq doesn't mean he's in lockstep with Bush on everything...

[Bob The Great]

I'm glad Bush isn't "lockstep" with Blair. Thats a movement in the wrong direction.

I think it's ridiculous that we might actually need a constitutional ammendment to define marraige as a relationship between a man and a woman. The Supreme Court's decision on the Sodomy Law could open up a Pandora's box because of how the majority claimed that it is a homosexual's right, which it isn't. There's nothing in the Constitution about right to privacy. And furthermore, sodomy is not a right, it is just an exercise of gays' liberty. The lawsuits are already coming in about gay marraige. This could be bad for our country if they aren't knocked down.

Blairs a tit, but he isn't wrong about this. It is mostly to protect the partners in the even of one of their deaths, where at the moment, the partner could be left with nothing, whereas under this, if they were registered, it would offer the same sort of peice of mind as it does to a married couple.
What's wrong with that? I'm not gay and I can still see the sense in it. Its their own ****ing business, let them get on with it with a bit of comfort.

[Mr. Goodbytes]

Nothing I can say about it happening in the UK, not my side of the pond. Although things like that only put more pressure on the US. Just the whole idea that consent and privacy trump laws and the Constitution is insane. If you people really think that overturning the sodomy law had anything to do with allowing gays to have sex, you aren't looking very far into the equation.

Why isn't it their right?
There's nothing that I know of that says much of anything about marriage.

No right to privacy!?!?
So you think everybody should be able to get into YOUR business? OH wait.. no no no.. only gays have no right to privacy

Let them live their freakin' life.. nobody's buttin' into yours and saying no you can't live like that.
Somebody may believe its wrong, but that doesn't mean everybody has to live by their rule.
I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find somebody out there believes Alcohol is a HORRIBLE DISGRACEFUL thing.. but plenty of people still drink.

[Mr. Goodbytes]

It's not a life that should be promoted by the federal government, don't you get that? It's a dangerous and destructive path to choose homosexuality as one's lifestyle with all the diseases out there. Ever hear of "barebacking?" It's where gays have unprotected sex because of the thrill of the chance of contracting AIDS. Not that they want it, but i'm sure plenty of those "barebacking" will get it. I guess it's kinda like the rush one would get having sex in the elevator but with deadly consequences.

There's a difference in promoting and ensuring certain liberties exist. And the Supreme Court has gone out of its way to create this one. I mean, honestly, all those sodomy laws in states have been disappearing and haven't really even been enforced. In the texas case, the police unwittingly stubled upon the activity and felt obligated to enforce the law... as any police officer should feel.

Our schools already teach our children that homosexuality is a perfectly normal choice, and encourage kids to have sex by giving them condoms, rather than promoting abstinence. When I have kids, they will learn that homosexuality is and has always been a bad choice. A choice that doesn't make bad people, but a choice that puts oneself unnecessarily at risk.

[vass0922]

oh yeah cause only gays would ever try something like 'barebacking' ... heterosexuals would NEVER try that!
But only Gays get AIDS Right?

[Bob The Great]

Our bodies are not intended for being gay. They are intended for a guy and a gal to get together. I guess if we had extra holes and stuff I wouldn't have much of an issue but as it is now I think it could only be harmfull to there children.

Either there children would be ridiculed under our current social climate or we would have to change our social climate to accept something that is physicaly wrong for the propagation of our species. If everyone was gay we would have issues in the continuation of humans.

I agree with that..... it is nature

humans were made to procreate (man + woman).

no procreation = no world to live in.

that's just fact.
