Parliamentarians should have a conscience vote on gay marriage : Comments

By Rodney Croome, published 1/11/2010

For often perverse reasons our parliamentary institutions have failed to keep pace with public opinion on gay marriage.

"Homosexual "marriage" is no more a "basic human right" than incestuous marriage or polygamous marriage."
-Proxy

Red herring; duly ignored.

"The 10 percent lie."
-Proxy

Sorry, but when did human rights become contingent upon the third kind of lie? I think I missed that memo.

"The children are no worse off lie."
-Proxy

Oh, please, won't somebody think of the children?

Spare us your platitudes and explain to me how, exactly, children will are made off worse by tolerance for homosexuals & their matrimonial rights. Bear in mind that we've already established that tolerance for homosexuals does not turn straight people gay.

"The more concessions, the more demands."
-Proxy

Prove it.

"Homosexual "marriage" will merely be the starting point for screaming demands for punishment of those who still won't toe the homosexual line."
-Proxy

Prove it.

"Churches will be sued for failing to provide the homosexual's "basic human right" to get married there, etc, etc."
-Proxy

Prove it.

"Homosexual "marriage" will only be the beginning of a new wave of increasing demands."
-Proxy

Prove it.

"Homosexual activism is merely a variant form of totalitarianism."
-Proxy

Prove it.

woulfe: << The real outcome of a conscience vote will be that our elected representatives will have a thorough and sincere debate on same-sex marriage, no doubt bringing to the discussion the same high standards of deliberation that they showed in the RU486 debate. >>

Exactly, which is why I think the 'conscience vote' should be the norm rather than the exception. I take your point about the Constitution, but if we can't get conscience votes on human rights issues in Parliament, what chance do we have of changing that anachronistic Act of the British Parliament?

P.S. Thanks for the welcome back, but you know about the success rates of involuntary rehab, don't you?

The gay lobby (and Individual gays) will PERSECUTE Christians and Churches.

My own fellowship has now been persecuted by gays:

Homosexual totalitarianism:

Proxy,

Why yes, that is what totalitarianism is? Ha ha ha dee ha.

Do you actually know what totalitarianism is? It doesn’t look like you actually do.

Promises to commit violence by persons unknown, is that what your little mind thinks it is?

You are a funny person. :))

Yes, the homo-taliban are out there, building their strength, preparing to strike. Soon there will be bands of ho-mo-sexuals roaming the streets setting fire to mullet haircuts and bombing mac-mansions. After that, they'll be training five-year-olds as fifth-columnists - should your soufflé sag or your socks match someone else's tie, it could be your own child that turns you in.

They're monitoring this very discussion, paying particular attention to those who've already worked out their plan. Flee! Immediately! Soon it will be too late: they'll be forcing you to attend nightclubs at five in the morning, rainbow-dye your pubic hair and open all your orifices to any male who fancies you.

Run! Save yourself! Now!
