I can't understand why anyone would have a problem with it. Why do people opposed think it's any of their business? How does it affect them in any way, shape or form?

Yes well with your site name i can see where your coming from. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

The Catholic church and assorted muslim 'community leaders' have shamefully put pressure on the Scottish government, hinting that they will urge their adherents to vote No to independence if they allow this through.Whilst they say they are 'pro-marriage' rather than 'anti-gay', they are fooling no one. The truth is that their 'holy' books tell them to despise and punish gays. Stone age views expressed by the champion paedos, wife beaters and homophobes.Well done the Scottish Gov bods who pushed this through (I'm still voting No, though)

The Snake

There once was a couple, called Adam and Eve

Who a little joke they did conceive

They told all, that as they walked

They met a snake that talked

But the plan backfired when it was believed.

The anti-gay movement do put out some ridiculous ideas such as threats or the exploitation of children - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_OnP4JKi08

Why are you voting no?

Why will I vote "No" to Independence?

Because I object to the SNP's plans to turn Scotland into a la-la land of tartan shortbread and ginger McSentimentality, at a time when we should perhaps be concentrating on jobs, growth and social problems. No plausible explanation has been offered about which currency an Independent Scotland would have, what would happen to the tens of thousands of employees in the defence industry that would need to be laid off if the UK breaks up or what Scotand's relationship to the rest of the UK would be. To venture blindly into this seems to me to be madness.

Because I think the UK is stronger with Scotland and the Scottish in it and I think Scotland is stronger within the UK.

Because, as an Englishman living in Scotland, married to a Scot, when we English form ScotIand's largest and fastest growing "ethnic minority", I would like us all to come from the same country. There is and always has been a lot of mixing of our nations to a greater extent than with truly "foreign" countries.

Because, for all our differences, which should be celebrated, I think the English have a hell of a lot more in common with the Scots, Welsh and Irish than they do the French, Germans and Dutch (I've lived in Europe, they are, for the most part, well, weird). Many a Scot is just like their fellow UKers, who loves Coronation Street, can't live without brown sauce and slags off anyone who gets too big for their boots.

Because the promise of a rich, independent Scotland, funded by oil revenues, in an "Arc of Prosperity" is a pipe dream which should have been recognised as a fallacy when fossil fuelled global warming hoved into consciousness and which should have been killed stone dead when the UK government bailed out RBS and smaller countries like Iceland and Ireland went tits up.

Because I am pissed off that the Scots government is funding and promoting the Gaelic language when it has fewer speakers in Scotland than Urdu or Polish and that signs are being put up in Gaelic in areas which, historically, never spoke the language. I am all for apppreciating the rich history of a culturally valuable linguistic treasure. I am not reallly in favour of spending millions of our taxpayers' £s on it.

Most personally, though, I will vote "No" because some aspects of SNP-led nationalism have struck me as a kind of "if you're not with us, you are a traitor" fascism, of which I have witnessed first hand the ugly, anti English manifestation.

Yeah, that 's pretty much why...

Same sex marriage! Totally unnatural., unless one is perverted!

God help this crappy world we live in these days!

So it is natural if one is perverted? What about if they are both perverted? does that make it natural, or do they cancel each other out. Does it matter which one is perverted, the butch one or the camp one? By the way, monogamous heterosexual relationships are also not natural, so I'm not sure what your point is.

I believe in God. It's not about having proof, it's about having faith that good will triumph over evil and that I will, at some point, be reunited with my dad again.

Misguided or not, that's what I believe will happen so I never get into the whole religion debate with anyone. I think it's about having beliefs and a faith which is personal to the individual.

I also know two gay couples who have brought up children and they are amongst the happiest kids alive.

Just because I believe in God and heaven it doesn't mean I go along with everything in the Christian faith.

If two people are happy together, it's likely that so will be their children. Heterosexual or homosexual there will be some successful relationships and some unsuccessful ones. The sexuality isn't the issue, the two people involved will either make it work together, or they won't.

I take it you think natural = good, and unnatural = bad, then? Guess what? Marriage full stop is totally unnatural. Homosexuality is totally natural.

Other things that are 100% natural; cancer, parasites, earthquakes, wasps, tsunamis, disease, asteroids, volcanoes, plagues, famine, death.

Other unnatural things; medicine, aircraft, cars, computers, central heating, the internet, books, art, music, hospitals, buildings, telephones, roads, boats.

Are you saying the world wouldn't be crappy if gays weren't allowed to get married? How does it affect you at all?

I think we all know what will happen if gay marriage is passed.

I voted no just for the hell of it . I really don't care about homosexual issues or homosexuals for that matter. 28 pages later and what have we found out ? Are people supposed to feel guilty because they find homosexuality repugnant ? if so there are an awful lot of guilty people out there. It never ceases to amaze me how some Homosexual people think the world revolves around their sexuality when in reality no one gives a toss.

And before anyone starts on a" your a homophobic" rant at me the last thing I would judge anyone on is their sexuality it just does not matter.

It wouldn't matter if homosexuals and heterosexuals had the same rights, you dingbat.
