quisquose Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I can't be bothered to repeat myself again, but please realise discrimination is when like people are tret differently. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsar Chasm Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 The church should keep out of what is a secular issue IMO. The basis for their point of view is irrelevant, it is discriminatory and they are being homophobic. The fact that it's the bible that tells them to believe that doesn't alter what it is. ok but for the record I do not see an opinion on this issue as anything other than an opinion. The discrimination comes from a supposedly more learned source and this only to legitimise antiquated religious beliefs that have governed us for centuries.

The fact that it's the bible that tells them to believe that doesn't alter what it is. Labeling people as being homophobic and discriminatory is a pathetic tactic to try and reinforce your point. There is no discrimination or homophobia attached to this argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey19 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 That isn't a yes or no. Very very easy question. A third go, then I'm out. I can only kick water up an hill for so long. If a same-sex couple were to marry in another country, and then move to England, would they be married or not? Yes or no? I do not know if the ceremony was considered legal or relevant in this country. Honest answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borderline Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Interesting how long this post has run, and the amount of views. The wide gap between the party's. I wonder if anyone knows how many people will take up the option when it's available. What is the % of gay and lesibian in the UK.and Also which other countries allow this already? Anyone got any facts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsar Chasm Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 But, as I said, it is discriminatory if you want to impose those views on others. It matters not what the personal beliefs are. They might be the reason, but they are not an excuse. Agreed. I think its unfair for an institution such as the church to try to persuade us all that marriage should remain as a man and woman affair.

Chris_Sleeps Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I do not know if the ceremony was considered legal or relevant in this country. If it wasn't legal they wouldn't be married. Another avoidance tactic. Bob and Paul are Canadian, and married in 2008. They move to Sheffield for work, and Bob meets harvey19 through their shared love of fly fishing. "I'm married to a man," says Bob. A. harvey replies "No you're not. Two men can't marry." B. or harvey replies "Lovely. Two men can marry." Which is it?

harvey19 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I think there should be a referendum on whether the rules relating to marriage should stay constant or be changed. There were no proposed changes to marriage in the coalitions manifesto before the election therefore in something as fundamental as this the majority should be able to decide. Pressure groups will be able to influence the voters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
