My mate used to have 2 Jack Russell bitches, when one tried to hump the other he`d kick it.

That is all....

Soo.... lets burst into gay peoples homes and kick them during sex?

Good quote on the subject!

Well obviously, it comes with the welcoming pamphlet...

I think that a child should ideally be brought up in an environment with as normal as possible family and gender roles so that they can discover their gender and sexuality in a traditional family context.

Which is exactly where almost all child sex abuse happens.

It's a myth that has always been out there as fact for some reason, no idea why.

I've known a couple who have been trying to adopt for years with no luck.

Maybe they aren't suitable and have demonstrated such during the interview and vetting process.

FuriousFox46, I think this is a very difficult issue and I agree with many of your points but I still disagree with gay marriage.

This isn't out of prejudice or homophobia, it is simply out of respect for religious people. I myself am not religious but I do not think that we should just ignore the beliefs of Christians and overturn 2000 years of values. It seems that once again, the human rights of Christians are trumped by the rights of homsexuals. I think that Civil Partnerships are perfectly fine for homosexual couples, why push it any further than needs be?

I do think that gay people should have the right to join the army, give blood etc. But I also strongly disagree with gay adoption. If you are interested I'll explain.

Like i said in my first post, it's like your telling us we can sit in the same room as you but not at the same table, i just think we all deserve the same rights to marriage.

That's not true, Christians choose their faith. A homosexual doesn't choose their sexuality. Why should a group of people forbid someone something just because they don't agree with it? Marriage is a right granted by the state and it should be open to all. Just because Christianity has been around 2000 years means nothing. Homosexuality has been around since the inception of mankind.

If anything, this selfish nature has withheld the basic equal rights that blacks, women and now gays have struggled tirelessly to gain.

Civil Partnerships are in my opinion, a gross act of inequality. There would be outrage, if the government invented a new type of legal union specifically aimed at mixed-race couples, so why should it be any different here?

The current viewpoint held by many is that of equality, which means all rights should be shared by each individual regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual preference. If anything the rights of religion to dictate their beliefs on laws to prevent something that quite honestly doesn't effect them, it's simply spiteful. I believe in gay marriage, they don't. Why should their viewpoint be considered more valuable simply because it derives from a long withstanding organisation?

Gay adoption for me is more controversial, but I am still in favour.

I've only read the posts on this page. I can guess some of the sentiments expressed on this subject. Here are my thoughts.

Getting married made it easier to sort out practical issues than not being married. Both of us have had this "unromantic" attitude. Neither of us are religious. If anything, we married for legal reasons.

Civil partnerships are all but marriages, in practical terms. Yeah, there's some differences on the finer details, which are logical and make sense, but essentially, they're marriages all but in name.

As far as Daggers is concerned, until gay marriage is legal, it's called a civil partnership ;)
