Gay Marriage

[cam_low]

"Marriage predates recorded history" this is what's called a logic fallacy. Because if marriage predated recorded history then how could anyone know about it if it's not recorded.

God invented marriage with Adam and Eve to become one flesh and was recorded in the book of Genesis. Surely it is down to the church to set these rules giving the gay community no right to get married?

i
I don't think the church will/are conducting gay marriages Cam, so really same as getting married at a register office (as me and my wife were, my local bigot vicar refused to marry us in my parish chursh as my wife was a divorcee,,,ohhhh the shame!!)

I think it's all a load of bull, i don't like the idea of it and find the whole thing uncomfortable, but then i am not gay so how else would i be expected to feel? I can't pretend that i am one of these new world liberal minded people that can see nothing wrong in anything but I haven't really given it any thought to be honest. They are gay, they are gay, so what. What does annoy me is always having this stories in front of me (i know it needs to be done) by the media!! whether they are trying to get me to agree with it or get me to disagree with it i find it boring, uninteresting and i am more than capable of making my own mind up. Get married, have a great day and be happy, either way i am more concerned about my next tile cutter purchase, Rubi or Sigma?????

And I remember when the Flintstones would have ' a gay old time'!

But how can it be a true marriage ("holy matrimony") if it's not "according to gods holy law". These are phrases used in marriage vows because it is a religious event! Anything else is still just a civil partnership really isn't it!!!!???
I bet those of you who married in a registry office (or aren't religious) still had these words somewhere in your "service".

I'm not homophobic at all, just disagree with calling it marriage (and husband & husband or wife & wife or one pretending to be the other etc etc)

Now THIS is an interesting debate (thank you Doug).....I could feel the IQ being sapped from me in recent threads over the past few days!!!!!

My first wife turned out to be a lesbian. 5years marriage. *****, ****, carpet licker, rug muncher!!!

It should definitely not be called marriage, they campaigned and get civil partnership, won, there you go all the rights of marriage. No sooner did they get that, we now want marriage, now they have that. What next???

Here is a scenario for you, a true one as well. My now wife (this one hasn't turned yet) is a nurse and she works with a lesbo, her and her decided to have a baby with a turkey baster. When said baby was born both women got maternity leave. :yikes:

Full maternity leave.

I think it's straight people who should be fighting for equal rights!!!!

That's where i say i am uncomfortable with it, the whole husband & husband thing..... It feels fake.
I couldn't give a toss about someone being gay, but getting married...... really??

Its got nothing to do with me, more things in this world concern me.

Its only religious people who it bothers (and nazis) , personally i think religion has a lot more to answer for.
