I do not care what others do who are in love, and I agree with the sentiment, "live and let live".

If two people love each other, and Jesus encouraged all to love each other regardless of gender, then let them marry.  Why not? It will not physically effect anyone else!

Lets ignore the fact that according to bible God burnt burnt the cities of Sodom and Gomarrah to the ground because their inhabitants were indulging in homosexuality.Lots wife was turned into a pillar of salt,just because she turned around and took one last look as she was leaving.

that was not very tolerant of him and he did it twice unless you got a stutter ( burnt burnt)

Ah yes, Albs, but remember. All religious tomes are 'open to interpretation', so you're probably wrong, I think. If mad mullahs can turn the Quran into a book of hate, then I'm sure the particular part of the bible that you mention bears scrutiny.

Someone with the surname 'Lovescock' should be very careful on a thread such as this.

Steve been there done it,got the stains on my tee shirt, dont know why women make such a fuss about it all to be honest

I love my Mrs and intend to spend the rest of my life with her, hopefully. Why should we need an expensive piece of paper to declare our intentions? And why should we be financially penalised for living together rather than living as a married couple?

It doesn't have to be that expensive I think our "Wedding" was £145 (all in) at the Register Office We actually had a celebration the following day, which did cost more, but were already married in the eyes of the law

What most people tend to lose sight of is this one fact: Most ordinary, everyday folk are racist, sexist and homophobic. Just accept that fact and things will become much more clear.

Oh.....and the introduction of laws to try to change what is basic human nature will fail....every time.

Correct
What offends me are the TV soaps ( SWMBO) full of same sex people, kissing, in bed well before the watershed . I don't want it in my lounge thank you very much, it ain't normal so why make out it is. Just keep it behind closed doors thank you very much

If that is so offensive and should be "kept behind closed doors" then surely any affectionate scenes should be treated the same way?

And on the subject for religious interpretations and the bible... It's a nice collection of stories but full of holes

[the alarming man]

yes been away for a while i met this coloured cross dressing scotsman, he said he loved me and was going to marry me but turned out he just wanted to ride me like a horse until he could not tolerate me any more

they are a strange lot in ramsgate..............

Don't lie... You can't get the horn at your age

But seriously... It should be one rule for all, not pick and chose what you like

NO 

Let's see, so a beastialist can marry is donkey or a necrophilliac a corpse, it is still affection

Exactly what I'm saying... If one form of affection should be banned then all all affectionate scenes should be banned/post watershed One rule for all

Although that's a little bit of an extreme example as both are illegal

What I cant understand is that all manner of heterosexual people can abuse the institution of marriage and no one bats an eyelid.

But if two loving and committed adults of the same sex want to express their dedication to each other, some believe that a Civil Partnership is the most they deserve.  That somehow what marriage stands for does not seem to come in to the equation.  Surely if two people are that committed to each other then why should we care on which side of the fence they play on?  I see no such uproar when heteros abuse marriage in the name of celebrity.

This is a modern world and we need to show the rest of the planet that we can give people the same opportunities regardless of creed, colour, orientation, class, etc.  People don't choose to be gay or straight, or bi just the same as we don't choose what the colour of our skin is or which family we are born in to.  It is not something you can control, so why should your rights be absconded as a result?

I am all for upholding beliefs and values but where they come in to conflict with the values and standards we should be committed to as human beings (equality, fairness, respect for others, etc) then I feel they should give way.
